When I get a coffee and I'm asked do I want chocolate on top? of course I want chocolate on top!

Every time I top up my leap card:

Me: can I put fifty euro on that please

Them: fifty?

Me: yes fifty euro

Them: five zero

Me: yes five zero

Them: ok fifty euro then? (pauses and waits for response)

Me: yep fifty euro!

Finally they top up the card

Recruiters and hiring departments who are all super enthusiastic trying to sell you the role, you go through the process of an interview / code test and then... nothing. How is this acceptable? I had one company who even ignored my follow up email asking for an update. So rude and unprofessional :mad:

I don't mind no response when I just apply to a job. I do mind when I've given up my time to do an interview or a code test and then they ghost me.

Last roll of binbags I bought were cheap sh1te ones. You could nearly read the paper through them when a bit stretched.

There seems to be no end to the fookin' thing.

Not stingy, but I am not dumping them for the sake of it.

Actually I think the guy accidentally put a tenner on my leap card when i asked for a fiver.
Yay i suppose. I only found out a week later on the bus.

People waiting for the bus/train who won’t let you off.

If you let people off, there’ll be more room for you to get on. It’s not rocket science.

Wasn't me but I have a disgusting issue with my foot that has put me in a rediculous oversized boot, for the past few weeks before I got the boot I have been removing my footwear at every chance I've got drowning my foot in water or rubbing my feet like a pregnant elephant and damn anyone who has seen it, then again most of the time I've kept my socks on and if my feet aren't looked after clean and cooling off Diabeto will take mine coat it in chocolate and eat it, post script related TA I wanna change my username Caligula seems appropriate as I am a fan of irony and this certainly ain't no little boot.

I buy toilet paper and put in the upstairs and the downstairs toilet. Now that I think of it I buy all the bin bags and detergent and feck it, the bins don't get put out only for me.

My housemates of three months, all of them have never ever once topped up the toilet roll.

Now I didn't give it a second thought and I'm working full time and not gonna stress over a few euro but this is three months and I'm not their mammy!

There is a shop not four minutes walk away. And what did they do the two weeks I was away on holidays

Keep the toilet roll in your room in future, I bet they'll buy it then.

If I was living there and the toilet roll kept getting topped up magically and the bins kept going out like clockwork, who would I be to mess with the system?! You're enabling them. Knock it on the head!

House is full of spiders because I haven't hoovered in a while, but not one of them seems inclined to catch the fly in the bathroom.
Since they are here rent free the least they could do is catch one fly for me!

so, the update. sent laptop in for repair and guy said he has to replace entire keyboard but cannot find the part in any of his usual places. It's only - feck, where they moved numbers to? - 20 months old.

ah enter key workz. So he told me if i turned this laptop upside down i would find a keyboard on the screen and those old keyboards are foruse by all those losers who are stuck in the 1980s and that I should be above those backward plebs hehe. I see my writing has improved exponentially since I turjed it upside down, too.

I couldn't wait for the letters to come up on the touchscreen keyboard - it was shockingly slow to write on Boards using it - and brought it to a different laptop repair guy to find a replacement keyboard. He said I needed a top case keyboard (20-month-old laptop). He, too, cannot find the part anywhere and said there's no guarantee that one will become available. Why would a huge company like HP not have replacement parts for the computers it makes? So, I bought a wireless Logitech keyboard and have now got a big chunky system in front of me of a laptop and two keyboards. Hate chunky messy superfluous clutter in my work space/life. :mad:

Time for the EU to take on that notoriously dishonest [mis]labelling. And there should be an enormous alert sign on the back of all cereals (except porridge, as far as I can gather) for sugar content. I was eating All Bran for years assuming that because it was so awful it must be good for me. Then I read some lunatic giving out about sugar content in cereals and I checked my All Bran and it had something like 24% sugar. Gutted.

Moreover, I just googled to find out the exact amount of sugar in All Bran and saw 18% and I know that's definitely not what I read on the box I bought in Ireland. A further google and I find this eye-opening article:

New Research Reveals Huge Differences in the Sugar and Salt Content of Global Breakfast Cereal Brands

In it, it says that depending on the country the sugar content of All Bran ranges from 11.6% to 30% across the world. What crazy society is allowing Kelloggs market a supposedly "healthy" cereal with 30% sugar? Similar variations for sugar and salt content with all cereals sold across the world (All Bran in the US has 61% more salt than the All Bran sold in 13 other countries, for instance).

It would be nice if an Irish Minister for Health could ensure the cereals sold here are on the healthier side of all this sugar and salt. EU legislation needed, I'd say, to be able to take on Kelloggs.

This bugs me too..if you buy a multi pack of eg Taytos..the bag (and there's always one) that's full of air and fcuk all crisps can't possibly have the same values as the other bags.

While we're on the subject, the f*ckin burst bag in the multipack that's no use to anyone.

Kettle etiquette in work.


Fill the f*cker if you drain it.


I also had someone give out to me because I was filling it to the top when it was just me and them that wanted water from it.
They stopped giving out and stormed off in a huff when I mentioned there were more than just the 2 of us in the building.

ruahead

Ta when a car parks in the middle of the kerb in between the frontage of 2 houses ( SEMIDETACHED HOUSES, can't explain but you know what I mean!) there is room for 2 cars if you park properly!!
Especially when it's infront of my house. I mean I'm not a great parker but I get out and look and re-adjust if necessary!!!!

ruahead

I used to do that( fill while kettle) are you not meant to just boil enough for what you need there and then, uses less energy and next person needs to reboil again anyhow. Depends how soon others will be making their cuppa I suppose.
I refill when done though but don't boil!!
:-*

New Home

Compromise and fill it half way?

Boom_Bap

The kettle is always on the go here. By the time the kettle was boiled, there were 4 people waiting. So it saved them the hassle of having to fill and boil after the 2 of us finished.


I see it as common courtesy to refill when you empty it.

New Home

If it's constantly being used, I completely agree with you.

As the queue for the bus was merging yes, the 'athletically dressed' gentleman from the other side signalled the younger, more stylishly dressed woman in ahead of them, they didn't even see me tho', I was right beside her. I know im old, I just ta at such a robust reminder of it.

I was explaining some directions to a person who a person who lives 5 mins away from the place I was directing them too, first I had to repeat myself, then I 'walk' them through the landmarks and they as per had 'heard' me mention a landmark so far away from the local as to be in the next county. 3 mins of explaining so far and we not even close to where he has to be. Like this with him everytime x 10000.

TA, ppl who don't pay attention to where they are at all and then don't know place names EVER!

Would you believe I had this experience in 2014... when apartment-hunting. The landlord to be was either a recruitment consultant or some other kind of sales - I can’t quite recall - but did the whole schmoozy “You’re perfect for this apartment, call you tomorrow!” thing. Really selling the apartment to us. Then nothing. Why would you do that for prospective tenants in a rapidly heating up landlord’s market? He had a pick of tenants. Very bizarre. Unless he wanted to keep a stable of potential tenants sweet? He was a muppet.

Seems they did actually sell them and yer woman's complaint was that she didn't get one.

Today's TA: the fact that Lidl didn't have the civic cop-on to pull them. Their PR person should be hauled over hot coals.
