Someone rings me and I missed the call so ring them back and they say 'I can't talk now'. Why are you ringing me then? WHY.

What game?

Super Valu topped today's TA: €3.35 for Prune juice, which being Super Valu you know you're paying too much at that. Being badly stung often before in the difference between the displayed price and the price I'm actually charged, I always watch the price they actually charge me. This morning it was €4.19 for the product clearly marked €3.35. That's overcharging of 84c, or 25%.

I brought the overcharge to the attention of a member of staff, who checked, apologised and gave me the difference. Last time I was overcharged in Tesco they gave me the product for free. But Super Valu - what incentive do they have to not be robbing fúckers as a matter of policy when the worst that can happen is they're found out and have to refund the difference? As always the Super Valu business model depends upon being located in small towns with limited competition and dependent upon an older customer base to pay their prices and not notice the frequent difference between the advertised price and the price you're actually charged (never mind what competitors are charging). I have never, ever been undercharged in a Super Valu, but have often been overcharged.

Beware of the town where the supermarket options start and end with a Super Valu. Always.

When a driver breaks a ROTR and another driver just lets them. For example, there's a junction in town and there's no right turn (for a very valid reason) at it and, of course, loads of drivers just think it's their right to do whatever they want, and other drivers just let them turn right there. WHY?? :mad:

Got one today, a lorry horsed on through a junction which has 3t limit signs well posted wheels over my side of the white line and beckons me to pull into a driveway on myside to make room for him to drive on, I didn't, I beckoned him to back on up, he repeated his sign, I held up 3 fingers, he got closer, I didn't move, 3 inches from my mirror, I still didnt budge, he managed to hop up on the footpath and continue, Fresh produce lorry, no shops on the road, so didn't have to be on it, cars behind made room for him, grrr.

Asked the OH if he wanted to do something tomorrow as it's my last day here, but he said he's busy. I'm not annoyed that he's busy, he's obviously allowed to have plans away from me, just a pity because now I won't see him for a few weeks

I really like the Santa Maria brand of jalapenos but as far as I know, only Dunnes stock them and I don't live near a Dunnes, so that's a pain in the ar*e, pardon the pun.
I need more so I'll have to stock up tomorrow.


Lower back pain.
I had a slipped disc about ten years ago which was excruciating and I was told by my GP at the time I would probably always suffer with intermittent back pain.
He wasn't wrong.
I could go a year with no pain and then bam, I could be laden with it for weeks.
It's unreal, the pain.
Solpadol work a treat but they're addictive.

In the Naas NCT centre a couple of years back, someone was taking a dump in the jacks with the door ajar - it's in the waiting area - people sitting opposite got a ringside view.

Hair appointment?

jiltloop

The mention of NCTs above reminded of a very annoying part of getting the NCT done. You book the car in for 9pm, arrive 5-10 minutes beforehand and then you're waiting 40 minutes before your car even begins to get tested! What's the point in booking specific time slots if it never gets tested at that time??!!

Does my nut in every time!

Nope but that's another appointment I need to make though!

Also that's another TA, I hate speaking to people on the phone so I always delay making appointments!

I have to say he has some really nice recipes but his shows are all awful, badly produced, all over the place. Quite an insufferable yoke that lives somewhere in between bothering everyone with his oh so amazing family and presenting stuff in the most awful way.

Had 2 appointments this week with doctor in HSE public

Appointment at 10:45am

I arrive at 10:00 .. yes way too early and I do not expect to be seen until my time

But the letter stated being on time is very very important


So I’m in waiting room



So 10:45 came no sign of doctor



11:00 no sign of doctor ... 15 min late so I’m scrolling the internet


11:15 oh there is the doctor who walks past me and ignores me ( I am the only one waiting )


11:30 she returns and says I’ll be right with you



12.00pm goes past me again into another room


Chatting with another person about what dress she should wear out that weekend and stuff about her private life

12:10.....




12:20 ....



12:45 ...



Please come in sorry the the delay




FFS , cop on and do your F****** job !!



Hate the public system no wonder it’s in ruins because ye clearly don’t give a F and nobody is managed IMO ...

So I was late for a client meeting myself with work and had to ring in advance and apologize and openly admit due to personal reasons but you think my client cares , no . I was going to be late for him and that’s all he cares .. and all I could do was apologize whilst Doctor X was chatting crap about going out wearing a dress

Second appointment story is similar

I have never had a doctor or dentist appointment that started at the due time. Even ones that are supposedly "first thing in the morning".

Late August
Friend: We must meet up for a pint soon.

Friend: I'll get back to you.
Friend: Saturday 1st is good.
Arrangements made.

1st September
Friend: Sorry, can't make it tonight. What about Saturday 8th?
Me: Should be fine. I'll contact you towards the end of the week to arrange.

7th September - I contact him as promised
Me: Are you ok to meet for a pint tomorrow night?
Friend: Should be ok.
Me: Grand, come back to me in the morning.

8th September
Friend: Sorry, can't make it tonight.

A lot of my summertime job includes waiting in situations like this, I lose hours and hours of my working day like this. My boss got sick of me 'lying' to them about such things and came with me to show me how its done. He lasted two appointment before he decided the system was a shambles and left me to my own devices.

Robsweezie

i hear you wally. and you wouldnt hear the end of it if you were the one late to the doctors.

TA double standards of those in authority deeming it ok for them to be late.

I have a faint ache in my sinus cavity and an outright ache in my nose bone(I know its not bone, but its still sore), I cant figure out if I need a walk, its teeming out or some caffeine to sort it.

It’s an appointment system for a f***ing reason

Same with my GP, never ever on time

Like we could all be fair and say ah one or 2 appointments to go over on every single one??

I’m the same with the experience

It’s a joke like

If I / we did that in the private sector with our client / customers we wouldn’t be long losing our business over service

Don't get me started on HSE appointments. I brought elderly uncle for physio, 11am on the dot, they all went for tea break, office staff and all. Sitting like two eejits for twenty minutes until they were ready. I go to private physio myself, they cover breaks and work through lunch, and a couple of late evenings, and half day Saturday.

Waiting to cross at the shopping centre these three old people crossed in front of me out in front of a car, causing it to stop abruptly- rather then be grateful the two women started giving out, their Male companion reminded them they didnt have right of way. Its a shopping centre -said one and he is an immigrant- replied the other.

It sounds like it should be awful but it actually genuinely was interesting when it first started even just to see how people react to certain things.
Then it became very self aware very quickly.
