    There's a brand new wedding dress for sale at a charity shop nearby. I'm annoyed I don't know if that's sad or good. Bad breakup? Narrow escape? Illness? I want the story, goram it!!

    TA'd it reminds me of a similar situation. I saw a notice sawing the GSPCA had found a lost snake on Augustine street. Who loses a snake and what kind? So annoyed I still don't know :mad:

    TA'd I have to go shopping for a dress for a wedding and apparently my aunts and mum are wearing dark blue and pink, my usual colours so now I have no idea what to wear

    Also people who say your name wrong. Even after years.
    People who name their siblings and include their own name (instead of saying me)

    Was given an appointment for spinal clinic about 3 months ago, I decided I did not need to go, so I rang up the clinic and explained to the person that traveling 3hrs for something not needed was pointless, and to cancel it. Done.

    Just got a letter today saying "You failed to attend your appointment without informing us, so we have now discharged you from the clinic."
    .

    I got a hospital appointment in February for a scan in September, I rang a few weeks after I received the letter, saying i'll get it done privately myself and I just need a referral letter for it, receptionist/secretary in the hospital checked the notes and said she would get on to the doctor and I should have it within a week, never received it rang again and enquired about it, so sorry, we'll send it out again, you should have it within a few days, just let us know when it's done, still nothing, so rang to confirm my appointment in September.

    In France for a month, beautician had very little English, and i had little french.
    Go for eyebrow wax... beautician gestures to my lips, to see if I'd like that done.
    T/A not knowing I had a Ronnie until that day. Haha

    When you go to the CNN website and click on an article you want to read but it starts playing a video with audio in a wee small box that you then have to go and find and stop.
    The UK Independent have started doing that too.

    Can't hardly walk this morning cause I thought it would be a great idea to do a fitness class yesterday morning before a big night out. TA'd that I am slightly hungover but the muscle soreness is just adding to it!

    People on youtube who paint their hair weird colours ,
    men who dye their hair green,purple ,
    why would a 30 year man dye half their hair green,
    i don,t understand .
    Its like wearing leather trousers only acceptable if you are a biker or heavy metal singer .
    websites that play ads with with sound ,
    ads should be silent unless i click play .
    punk music is dead,this is not 1979,
    leave your hair as it is ,or dye it black or brown.

    Waking up early on the one morning I should be having a sleep in. Pesky body clock.

    This is the worst time of the year for that because it's so bright early in the morning. You wake up on a weekend morning, all delighted that you had a wee sleep in. Then you check the clock and it's 06:30am and you can't get back to sleep.:(

    A sibling is home for a few days.

    "Are you staying in England after Uni?"
    "Why not go to Europe sure, new country?"
    "Do not come back to NI!"

    Jesus, hello and welcome and let me at least finish my degree first.

    TA people who have to be heard by everyone.
    At the Jameson Cult Film Club showing of Rocky and irritating Australian psycho mom who I recognised from my retail days was commenting loudly at everything in front of me in the movie that people told her to shut up.

    I went to college/university here and directly after in the UK years ago. Everyone in the UK called it 'uni'. I found it a bit of a TA then as I thought it sounded a bit poncey but more and more people here call it 'uni' now too.

    I'm the same as your wife. Not a big fan of fast food as a whole.

    As a single man, TA'd that people assume I am incapable of cooking for myself & act surprised when I tell them I can. Supposedly I should have local chipper on speed dial.

    Through school it was called Uni and UCAS forms were "Uni forms" might be due to me being from the North though.

    TA my phrasing is being questioned :P

    I get the same thing as a single guy in my 30s.

    To be fair, most single fellas in Ireland are looking for a replacement mammy to cook and clean for them when they seek a wife/girlfriend.

    I often cringe when i'm around couples my age because the dynamic is that yer man will invariably be completely feckless and needs to be told how to do everything by his partner.

    When the person sitting behind you on the bus has bad ''morning breath''


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,759 ✭✭✭Winterlong


    Was eating a lovely apple this morning. And then bit in to a rotten bit in the middle. A real harsh sour taste.
    The fcking taste of it is still there an hour later. Feel sick.

    I have decided that I hate the radio. Its very rare that it doesn't annoy me. Stations that play shít songs that they clearly pay nothing for. Then there are twáts who only play 75% of a song. Don't play it at all if you don't have time to play the whole thing. There's that awful guy on a morning radio show who talks through his nose. The traffic alerts that are the same every.single.day. The incessant repetition of ads about "actual" good offers and stupid ads where there is a role play between two shít actors that starts with one complimenting the other on a new car/product and the other launching into a fake monologue about how good the product is - who would answer a compliment like that?? Then streams of useless shíte information about celebrities, interviewing kids on their way to school etc. Argh, where is my own music???

    ..and the constant Hozier!!!!

    Getting a small portion of dinner from a counter or canteen and cant ask for more because there is a queue. It always when you are hungry too. Tight bas#@rds!!!!

    people who sit on the outside seat on public transport and then make loud sighs when they have to get out of your way when you go to sit down. I make a point of standing on their toes. they're worse than hitler !

    Anyone ever encounter the automatic door that just couldn't be arsed? The automatic door at the entrance to my local supermarket has a serious attitude problem. It only seems to open when you have virtually face planted into it. I'm pretty much on the verge of offering it bribes to let me in. I mean it has one job and it just doesn't want to do it. My underlying fear is, The Rise Of The Machines might be starting at a supermarket door near you.:eek:
