When your landlord gets you a new dishwasher in early 2017 and you shower it with love, feeding it grapes, brushing its hair and it still decides to go kaput 18 months later.

Please believe me, landlord, I did everything right. I read the instruction manual back to front, it was at the right hard water setting, the salt reservoir was never empty, the filter was cleaned regularly, I was very easy on the door hinge. We showed that dishwasher a good time!!!

Maybe the mistake was feeding it grapes... (it's still under warrantee, anyway. )

Yeah, do you think the grapes might have got sucked up into the mechanism somehow?

I guess machines are sometimes just faulty but I really want our landlord to know that we respected the machine. We’re good tenants, honest! :P Hopefully it’s still under warranty. I won’t ruin his Sunday with the news. It's a Monday kinda revelation.

Fairly sure I have given out about this before but drivers who can't maintain a constant speed. If they are behind you one minute they are on your tail, the next a mile behind. When in front of you , you are going between 60 and 80 stuck behind them. Then they are doing 80 approaching roundabouts when they are meant to be doing 60. I have a thing about driving at a constant speed at the speed limit, providing conditions allow of course.

It's funny when I switch on the cruise control on a motorway at 120 or similar, how often I find myself leapfrogging drivers who don't keep a steady speed. Even on slightest hills, the others generally slow significantly and I find myself zooming past them.

I do that sometimes when someone is tailgating me.

I did a couple of trips outside Dublin in the past month, and tailgaiting is a real problem. I don't mind somebody who tailgates for a minute while looking for a safe spot to overtake, but there are those people who zoom up and settle in way too closely behind, as if it is the Tour de France and they're picking up the slipstream.

Homeward bound from a week in the sun. What’s up with lads wearing boxer shorts under swimming shorts by the pool? They’d take ages to dry after a dip? If you really want to show off you’re wearing Calvin Kleins just buy their swim shorts.

..And the verbal diorrhea kicks off.

Whenever anything bad happens on the Westport/Ballina to Dublin train it always has something to do/connection with Claremorris.

Probably due to the fact that claremorris was the main junction of the wibbly wobbly Burma road. It's haunted.

Coming up to a junction and the car in front stops a whole length from the line and inches forward bit by bit braking if they even think s car is coming. When I win the lotto I am going to rear end the like of them.

No time for people who are like that, turning up late for things, changing plans at the last minute to suit themselves.

Text speak. It actually takes longer to do it. And it hurts my eyes to try and decipher it.

It's quite nice, a wheat beer, flavoured with corriander and orange peel, similar to blue moon if you have ever had that, but I think a bit nicer.

Palpitations. Been a while since I had them, and I first thought they were a side effect of a tablet I was on, but I changed tablets so it's obviously not. Mam reckons it's stress related given the fact that I'll be going on Erasmus soon, even though I don't feel stressed.

If it is stress though then I'm glad I can't feel it because stress leads to anxiety, and that is not something I want coming back

Not sure if this is something specific to reading news on a laptop (ie not app), but it's very TAing when I read an article referencing a video, and the video is not linked or embedded in the article !
I have to go and search for the video elsewhere with my own search words, it's ridiculous.

Somewhat related TA : there are road junctions where the road markings are ridiculous, as in, if you stop along the road markings, your have less visibility for turning than if you position yourself a bit differently.

For example this junction, outside of Clonmel.
https://goo.gl/maps/kWhNpho8bRN2

The little car in the image has rightfully positioned itself so that it can see to the left, in order to turn right.

Well believe it or not, I have had many TA instances where some idiot squeezes in to the "box" left on the right hand side (of the orange car there, for ex), thereby causing confusion and looking at you like you're the one in the wrong.:mad:

Most drivers are clever enough to deduct from cars ahead of them what approach is best, thankfully, but the thicker drivers are usually the most aggressive.

TA'd that its the Monday-iest Monday that ever Mondayed.

My puppy wouldn't go back into the house this morning after I let her out to pee and she went and hid under a bush because she knew I was going to work. Got soaked from the branches of the bush trying to bribe her out. Had me almost 10 minutes late.

Made a delicious pot of curry yesterday to eat for lunch all week and was looking forward to a good healthy week and then forgot my lunch box.

The parking meter at the car park beside work took my money and I paid for the whole week on the advance pay ticket.

Think I have a cold coming on and have the busiest few weeks ahead... ugh.

I see there are 30 emails in my inbox from Friday some highlighted as urgent and I can't cope until I have at least 15 coffees.

"The period that elapsed between the crash and the suspected driver presenting himself was greater than three hours, the maximum window for breathalysing a driver after a road traffic incident. His fleeing effectively means the Garda lost the opportunity to gather legally sound evidence to prove or rule out drink-driving."

Just paid the last instalment of my fee's for this semester, now Ive done that, I could not feel less like going.
Annoyed at myself that I have forgotten how to live on beans and cheese for the two weeks it will take to recoup the money above.

I thought I had a few days between coming off all hours at work and starting class, but no, I have an appointment from a waiting list I shouldn't ignore and a dental appointment I can't miss either in those days now.

I was just in the shop in work when this woman walked in with her child. He said "I want a toy" and she said "no" and what followed was the child screaming bloody murder and his mother doing little to sooth him other than making empty threats and grabbing him roughly by the arms.
The 2 women behind me in the queue started giving out to the lady working in the shop "you shouldn't have the toys in view of children", "it's not fair", "parents can't buy toys for children every time they're out". Meanwhile the child is still screaming his head off at the door. They then proceeded to have a conversation about how terrible it was to have toys on display - rather than realising the value of teaching children that they can't simply have everything they want.
Then they started moaning about the heat and how all the chocolate in the shop was melting - as if the shop is responsible for the weather. One of them then started picking up bars and squeezing them to demonstrate how melted they were. I turned around and said "you know someone else is going to buy that bar after you've mauled it" and she said "eh it has a wrapper".
Then the other one said to me "I need to go ahead of you, I'm in a rush to get back to my car", I said "I'm in a rush to get back to work" and she rolled her eyes and said "suit yourself". And what was holding us all up long enough to have these delightful chats? 2 traveller children trying to buy 3 ice creams, 2 bars and a bag of crisps with €5 and basically expecting the lady in the shop to just give them everything for a fiver.
