Ta'd I'm constantly mixing Jamie Doran up with Henry Cavill, I thought was Doran was in mission impossible but it was actually Cavill.

Simple remedy:

Jamie Dornan is currently tied up in my spare room dressed in a loincloth.

Henry Cavill was Superman. And not eye candy.

Here to help!

A colleague of mine comes in in the mornings wearing her sun glasses inside all the way to her desk at the far end of the building. Strolling in looking like a diva and it makes me so angry even though I could just not look up when she comes in. But when I do see her she puts me in a bad mood for the rest of the day. I don't know, I just find it so rude

People coming to events with their arms swinging. One arm as long as the other. Eat and drink for the day. It annoys me.

First day of the Baby on Board debacle - skinny bird with abs of steel gets on the Green Line LUAS wearing one and asks man in 60s to stand up for her.

I suggested to Transport for Ireland they adopt a system like London Transport, a badge saying "I Need A Seat" so the elderly, mobility issues, etc can get a seat.

No reply as yet but I don't anticipate one.

Agreed - and to quote our own Samuel Beckett:

O/H's eldest daughter is French and she says she wears her sunglasses inside to prevent unconscious* squinting, which causes premature lines around the eyes.

* squinting against the change in light without noticing its happening and causing those lines.

The daddy: That poor girl died yesterday. She had cancer.
Me: Oh who is that?
Daddy: Jaysus now let me think. Ah I can't remember her name.

Long back story, but sufficient to say that today I am ta at 'teachers' of all grades that don't understand the concept of chaotic homes and the effect it has on their students. In particular when it comes to deadlines or things associated with them.

When I get out of the car at the office I'm generally juggling my handbag, my laptop bag, my gym bag, my lunch bag and trying to manoeuvre my swipe up to the card reader so I can get into the building. If my sunglasses staying on until I get to my desk and dump all of my stuff so I have a free hand to take them off irks some people so badly, well, pity about them.

People taking advantage and manipulating me to take on extra work.

People who just have no phone courtesy.

I had to ring the finance department of a fairly large company in respect of an email I just received in work. So after being transferred around numerous switchboards I finally get.....

"Finance Department".

"Hi there I am just looking to speak to someone with regard to X as I have just received an email in relation to X and it just seems there is a prob......*cut off and phone is being transferred to someone else*. I then end up at someones voicemail who is on annual leave for two weeks which is another TA in itself... but anyways, no "Sorry I don't deal with those queries I'll pass you through to someone who can help" or even just a simple "Could you please just hold for a moment".. Just a straight cut off where I end up talking to myself!!

Ah feck I had the unpleasant experience of being on the LUAS at rush hour at the same time as about 30 cackling Spanish students the other day. That's 30 lanky teenagers with 30 flourescent yellow backpacks.

Also what is with those kids manners? A group of them were surrounding an elderly lady who was sitting down and they were passing phones that were playing loud music across her. And why do they feel the need to literally scream at one another to have conversations?

Yeah they've been on my LUAS a few mornings.

Might be here to learn but manners should be on the curriculum!

I booked a taxi on the mytaxi app, entered my collection point and drop off location, and yet the driver still rang me looking for directions as to where I am. That's what google maps are for pal.

Just arrived home to find a BMW (you'll realise in a moment why I specifically mention that it's a BMW;)) parked across the bottom of my driveway so I couldn't pull in. I beeped the horn once and the driver waved their hand at me and glared at me in the mirror so I put my finger on the horn until the driver got out. The guy driving the car walked back to me and shouted at me "what's your problem?" so, I explained "I'm trying to get into my house, I thought that would be obvious" and he said "just drive around me", I said "no, I'm not driving my bike up on the grass verge, you're actually parked on my driveway so move". So after much cursing, he got into his car and moved past my driveway, just barely! He then got out of his car again so I hung on to see what other delightful things he had to say. He said "what's your fucking problem anyway?" and I asked him what he didn't understand about me trying to pull into my driveway. I then said "every house on this road has been robbed so I'm always suspicious of strange vehicles" and then, he said this "someone driving a BMW is hardly going to be robbing houses" :pac::pac::pac::

Lucky guy has obviously never met a traveller!

People who have to comment on EVERYTHING. Yawn.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

People who go on about being independent and self sufficient and, most importantly, not in need of people nor neighbours. But then abuse the kindness of others by looking for them to do all their running and racing for them - house repairs, grocery shopping etc.
Admit it. You need help from time to time. We all do. But we don't abuse it.

In an attempt to find a life, about 2 months ago I contacted the organiser of one of the activities I would like to take part in Sept.
She responded with a date and a lot of references to venue fb pages that would have that info instead of the page I massaged her on.

Today I had a look on the original page I messaged from and there it was, all the info I needed and not a word on the pages she told me to watch for this info. If I was one of those ppl who didn't know the lie of the land here, I would easily have missed it.

* Neither night its on suits me either.:mad:

And ppl wonder why I want to go home[/SIZE][/SIZE].

How does anyone think waiting over 3 hours in a maternity hospital is acceptable? There was a lady here involved in a car crash that had to wait 5 hours to get seen by a doctor.
I'm at 3 and I'm not pregnant but probably bled to death in another hour.

TA'd at myself for making comments on this thread in 2014 that I got distracted by Martina Fitzgerald wonky mouth even though she's a very good reporter. 
Fast forward 4 years and I need to say that my comments were childish, you're a great reporter  and you look fantastic. Go Martina!
