I'll will see your cold coffee and sour milk and raise you salt in tea instead of sugar. It took days for the the taste to shift and I still shudder just thinking about it.

Reminds me of the opportunity that presented itself the other day after I made a cup of tea and the GF said there's a doughnut left there if you want it.

"Doughnut mind if I do" says I. I love cheesy puns

TA'd now that I have not even a rudimentary biscuit to go with my tea at home.

Happened to me one time. I'd had an operation but just a day procedure, was still anaesthetised for it though. So I was still half out of it when they brought me tea and toast, there were packets of salt and sugar on the tray, idiot here adds the salt to my tea and only realises after I'd had a nice big gulp, urrgh.

Newsletter in post box(god knows how long it's been there) from local cllr, saying its his "summer update", fairly sure there haven't been other seasonal updates from him.
Doing the across the pond thing next week, so have to do all kinds of cosmetic things to banish the appearance of cave woman I've become since my last visit, so much work to visit O/H.

I'm going to fcuk this phone out the window,it's driving me mad as it keeps freezing and I have to back out of the page to fix it every single time.

Finished work until Monday and had great plans to do a big clear out in the house but I'm on the couch feeling tired ,unmotivated and generally in shocking form.

My ex is doing work for a work colleague and she is totally besotted with him...been singing his praises to everybody in work even in the tea room (she seems to think that it should be some kind of compliment for me)...I'm biting my tongue but a few of my friends are finding it hilarious and imitating her to me constantly...they're pushing it now though and I will snap.(I'd do the same to them but that's irrelevant imo ðŸ˜)


TLDR..I need a new phone and new friends.

Raging period pain all morning, never get it, and feel wiped out now. I had myself convinced I was actually dying, that there was a big massive something or other inside me that was going to explode and poison me

I found a cheaper car insurance quote cheaper than the broker I have been with the last two years. Jumped in feet first and bought it without doing any thinking. I'm such a dope, didn't realise no windscreen cover on it. It is all conducted online so waiting around for reply to a query I have. I blame it all on stupid fcukin hormones, not thinking straight lately at all.

The stupid guilt I felt at ringing the broker and telling them I had switched to someone else. It is like buying meat at the supermarket when I usually get it at the butchers, makes me feel like a traitorous hoor

Yes they are dpd people. Post man came at 11am so I only had to wait 2.5hrs to pace the place waiting.

List of TAs today.

- Fidgety people. Trying to do a very precise job today, the lady kept opening her eyes, whipping her head around, nodding her head. I swear to god at one stage I put my fist in my mouth to stop me from shouting.

- poorly stocked shops. You advertise yourself as selling xyz but yet anytime I go in there you never have xyz but plenty of sh1te that I font need

- pushy sales people. Missed call after missed call after missed call, an email to tell me there's a missed call, then calling my workphone. Jesus Christ **** off already.

- so now we're back to me being impatient. I see all these missed calls and instantly I'm furious, don't ask me why, who knows. I ring back one number that I've 8 missed calls from, it's eir and an automated message saying they'll call me back. I'm practically waiting with my finger hovering on my phone to answer and lose my sh1t with whoever spends their working day harassing those who have to go to work.
Then I call the other number, it's the bank. Do you think I get through? Nah son.
"Hi we're phone banking" I don't care who you are stop calling me if you've nothing important to talk to me about. He keeps interrupting me to tell me he'll have to put a callback request in for me, I was brimming by now. I don't want a call back I want youse to stop ringing me. Did I win the euro millions?! Are you ringing to tell me the euromullions is in my account? "I don't know I'm not from the branch" I swear to god his smug calm voice was raising my blood pressure quick smart. He passed me over to his manager who I am pretty sure is certain I'm not playing with the full deck but stop ****ing calling me don't put a callback request in for them to call me for me to tell them to **** off.

- absolute morons texting me asking me stupid questions. Does google not work on their internet hmm?

Outlet stores. Yay. Super cheap prices.

But wait... where are the Medium sizes? Why is everything (everything) f'ing XXXL or XXXS????

Whizzed around Dunnes today in 25min all the shopping got, up to the till with 2 people ahead of me, on person had 3 items, grand stuff, 20 minutes later I had finished my transaction.. :mad:

The one with 3 items had eaten the item she was checking out from the deli so had the wrapper to scan and the coffee needed to be done too, and she queried the price of the last item, it was cheaper than scanned, person celled and checked it, she had the large one, the small one was the cheap one, duh.

the next person had everything ready to go, but the one on the checkout looked at everything, read the back of everything, chatted away, looked at everything, talked to the one in the other checkout,

I lost the will to live, she asked me what was up, I said theres 15minutes of my life i'll never get back, she checked me out slower, f**kin furious I was.

castletownman

Keeping to the annoying customers ahead of you in queue theme, I was in Aldi earlier picking up three items I needed for dinner and there's were two people ahead of me in the queue. The fella at the top of the queue (with a trolley load of goods of course) had his card declined and must have stood there for what felt like eternity wondering why it had happened rather than stumping up the cash he had on him. Take your time there fella, we aren't in a hurry here at all.

He was a forty-ish year old man with a spider-man wallet so I assume his OH usually does the shopping.

MuffinTop86

People who go to aldi always seem to get trolley loads! I always buy about 4 things, and stand behind the trolley folks looking pitiful and they generally wave me through.

On the TA phone front, my iphone 6 keeps pressing mute or loudspeaker or facetime when I'm on calls. I've tried the reset buttons. And before you all say that'll be your chubby cheeks, my cheek size hasnt changed since my iphone 5c prior to this.

Which relates to the next TA, my new gym routine. I'm on a12 day kickstart ketosis type thing eating loads of fat and doing loads of weights from Monday on. AND NO BOOZE. Horrific.

I think there is a formal cooling off period with most insurance products bought online. Check the small print.

Tried to do a good deed and ended up morto.

Was in Dunnes getting "the few bits" earlier, and there was a woman ahead of me with a big trolley of shopping. The cashier asked if she had one of those €10 off when you spend €50 vouchers. She hadn't one.
I knew I had one in my bag going out of date in a few days, and I wouldn't use it by then, so I fished it out and threw it over to her.
What did she do then only take out a tenner and INSIST I take it. Like, roared the shop down when I protested.

So I ended up selling someone a voucher and she got no benefit from it and I looked like a scabby weirdo

That must have been especially embarrassing, she really should have just taken the voucher and said 'thanks'. The odd time the cashier has given me one that's lying around and I'm always grateful.

Very awkward!
I had an experience which was the kind of the opposite on Monday.

I had 2 of those 10 euro vouchers and my shopping only came to 60, so I asked the lady behind me did she want a voucher as I wasn't going to use it.

The look she gave me.

"I have my own thank you very much" she says in a very snotty manner, as in, I don't accept charity.

Fair enough, I gave it to the cashier and said can you give that to the next nice person who doesn't have a voucher!

TA'd at being looked down on for trying to do a nice thing

Ugh. So annoying. Like, you're in Dunnes, love. Not, like, Harrods or whatever. Silly cow.

Lady is a tramp

Getting given out sh*te to over a parking fine.

I paid for 1 hour 30 minutes parking, for what was meant to be a 15 minute job. Ended up being 1 hour 40 minutes, and got the €40 fine in those 10 minutes. Ball of crap.

I was driving my dad's car at the time.

Now both my parents are absolutely up in arms over it, because they will not transfer it into my name. I've repeatedly asked them to transfer it into my name, and they won't, and I don't have a copy of the fine (as it went to my dad.) And now my dad is being brought to court, and is guilt-tripping me that he'll end up in jail over it.

Just tell them. To put. The f*cking fine. In my f*cking name. I was driving the f*cking car. It's my responsibility.

Is what I'm telling them. Without the curses.

It's just ridiculous. It's not going to just go away unless they either transfer it into my name, or pay it. I want them to give them my name. They won't. No reason not to, I'm insured as a driver on the car, it was fully taxed etc, all grand. But they won't.

So I'm being roared at for something I can actually do nothing about. I'm 31. It was a once-off that I borrowed their car, usually it's actually the other way around, them borrowing mine.

Just let me sort it out and be done with it. My god. If they knew the few days I've after being through. It's not been at all easy. A parking fine I can deal with. This Cold War/WW3, at a flick of a switch, is not easy at all.

I'm actually at breaking point, and have been through serious sh*t personally in the last week and they know it, and they're flipping out over a parking fine. Really. Really?

I know it was all my fault, but I can't fix it if they won't let me!

If I wasput straight on hold I'd hang up...if they ask to put me on hold I'd give it 1 min or 2 on a good day...if I feel that I was put on hold for no good reason or to make them look important my tone will indicate my annoyance and they won't get the usual Colser attention to detail.On the other hand if I can hear children in the background going into meltdown and I'm put on hold then I'll wait all day and thank god that I'm in work and not minding small children.

What a stroke of luck, you turned next to useless vouchers with an expiration date on them into real money.


One thing that annoys me more than it probably should is when they raise the volume of the ad breaks on radio and TV. It's downright scummy hard selling behaviour and as if that's not bad enough the 4OD service has taken it to new lows by doing it with just one ad that 3 times the volume of all the rest.

I see any station or company that uses that tactic as scum that will do anything to sell their crap and they go on my boycott list.
