    Recently changed my phone to a very expensive iPhone
    Went to the bathroom, came back, phone was on the floor.
    “How did that get on the floor?” I asked my friend
    “*childs name* had it.”
    Fuming I let it go because I figured I shouldn’t have left it where he could reach. Few mins later we’re both on the couch, phone on coffee table in front. Child on her lap having eye drops administered and she picked up my phone and handed it to the 15 month old to “keep him quiet”. I snatched it back, am no. A phone nearly a grand is not distraction for your baby.
    This reminds me of my brother getting a hold of my phone and PC in the past.

    One time, he kept getting my old Samsung Galaxy J3 2016, and he could access it since I had no PIN set up. In response, I added a PIN and I couldn't remember it. I had to reset my phone at the risk of losing my data, but fortunately, everything on it was intact. I decided to set up a pattern instead of a PIN, as it was easier to remember.

    As for my PC, I could have just locked it every time I was away from it, but I've felt lazy to lock it and input my password again in the past.

    Pedestrian crossings, one I use daily takes forever to change to green, once it does you have very little time to cross.
    My TA was that I was literally 4 seconds too slow this morning to catch it on the green.

    Businesses who never ring you back when they say they will, then you have to ring them every day asking the same questions, they they give you the same "oh actually thats probably my fault not ringing you back" no $hit. im trying to give your business money you know.

    I'm tired. And I'm still in work. And all I can smell is the oil on my hands. (The mechanical, machine type of oil.)

    And three people tried to get me to fix their computer accounts. I don't even work in IT but I'm still sort of expected to help. Over 400 people are employed here but it's up to me. (Usually I like to help but I'm not in the mood at the moment).

    And I still smell like oil.

    Was late to work yesterday, so was sure to be on time (ish) this morning, so I could be totally prepared when my manager came in...
    He picked the exact moment I was stuffing a pastry into myself to walk in. Oh well guess tomorrow is the day I might have a chance of looking like a capable professional....

    When you're waiting in line at the self checkouts in Tesco, and the person thats most likely to be finished first ends their transaction (They scan their items, pay for them, and receive their change & receipt) yet they continue standing there like a tool waiting for absolutely nothing to happen!!

    What, do you think the machine is going to take pity on you and give you another €20 note??

    Just F&*K OFF and let me do my business!!!!

    When you stay in a particular hotel regularly, and see that the TV remote allows you to select the various inputs (HDMI etc...), so the next time your staying there, you bring a HDMI cable so you can plug the laptop in to watch a movie/Netflix etc... and despite the TV being the same as it's been in every other room you've been in, you get one of those sh1tty 'hotel tv' remotes that can barely navigate the terrestrial tv stations!! and of course, doesn't allow you to change the TV input.

    Pro Tip: take note of the TV model and google how to turn off hotel mode as well :) so you can change inputs.
    Or, bring a USB drive and plug that into the TV and watch what you have saved on it.



    Today's TA is that I still don't have my car back :(

    Or bring a universal remote and get it to auto-programme itself to the TV in the room, and you should be able to get full functionality on it.

  • Registered Users Posts: 623 ✭✭✭smeal


    I'm annoyed that even the slightest bit of late night social life these days ruins my life for weeks after!

    Was out two nights in a row last weekend for St Patrick's (Q the "woooaahh!!") and ate and drank what I pleased for these few days. Since then I'm like something out of the Walking Dead. Healthy food tastes like sh*t, skin looks like death, eyes have been burning with tiredness all day every day, throat is starting to close over, don't even have the energy to drink coffee because that involves lifting something, the past 6 months of the gym seems to have undone itself in a period of 48 hours like I'm pretty sure there is the shape of a Dominos pizza slice engraved in my belly.

    Ugh. Bring me Friday.

    I AM SO FUCKING STRESSED, I LITERALLY CAN'T PUT INTO WORDS HOW STRESSED I AM, MY HEART IS HAMMERING, MY STOMACH IS LIKE A WASHING MACHINE. But I have to wait until I see my GP on Monday to find out if I'm right to be stressed or just reading some results the wrong way and even then, my GP may want to send me to a specialist before diagnosing me.
    I AM SO FUCKING STRESSED!!!

    My TA is that I'm afraid to do anything because of the way I have interpreted these results so I'm analysing how much water I'm drinking, enough, too little, too much, how often I'm weeing, enough, too little, too much, everything, enough, too little, too much.

    I CAN'T FUCKING WORK IN THIS STATE!!

    I always stand back to allow a people out of spaces. Yesterday for example, I was walking through a car park, I stopped and stood waiting for a car to reverse out of a space and 3 people walked past me, directly behind the reversing car and looked at me like I was mad for standing there. All 3 of those people got into cars and then presumably needed to safely exit their parking spaces :confused:

    I've spent many a night googling how to turn off hotel mode, and successfully got into the main set up mode, only for the crappy remote to not have a defined 'enter' button (I could actually navigate around the menu, just couldn't press enter).

    I also always carry a few flash drives with loads of movies on them, and sometimes they'll work, but again, a crappy remote is usually their downfall!!

    TA: Swiss people, just spent an hour on Skype with a Swiss associate, and now I want to punch a little kitten!!

    Men's public toilets* with urinals and cubicles. Lads (and I've never understood this either) who use a cubicle over a urinal for a wee...

    ... who neither lift the ring nor flush.

    I walked into the staff toilets in work today and someone hadn't flushed the toilet after having a huge poop. The. Horror.

    On that note, when you go to use the sink and there's a long hair from someone's head stuck to the sink. It makes me feel sick.

    There was a fella in work once who I saw coming out of a cubicle and walking straight out of the bathroom. He was a visiting client from another country.

    Later on he was introduced to me but no fckin way was I shaking hands with him. The awkwardness did not bother me in the slightest.

    While on the subject of hygiene, men are absolutely ****ing pigs when it comes to washing their hands after shooting the hose or emptying the tank. A minimum 60% of men do not wash their hands after going to the loo. And I base that solely on my observations in public toilets over the years. Now I have the unfortunate circumstance of having OCD, so my hands are nearly rubbed raw when it comes to hygiene, but the amount of guys who either don't bother even looking at the sink or who only throw a drizzle of water over their hands is nothing short of disgusting. "Soap? What is this alien thing of which you speak?"

    I was getting my nails done. One hand was in under the lamp and the girl was painting my nails on the other hand. Got an itch right under my eye! I couldn't do anything about it and all I could think about was how nice it would be to scratch it. It was the longest few minutes of my life!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,274 ✭✭✭Bambi985


    Je suis une hungover mess. Had about four G&Ts last night and I'm in a glass case of emotions all day. Also discovered I went on an Instagram spree in my drunken state and started following about 20 colleagues, despite having a strict no-work-people-on-social-media policy. Un-following them now would look entirely weird.

    Also TA'd that I'm not getting enough attention from my work crush, who may in fact be gay, and TA TA'd that I now have to travel for an hour on the smelly tube to get home.

    I know exactly what you mean, I witnessed a lad coming out a cubicle a few weeks back and walked over to the mirror and he stuck his hands in his mouth o_O and started scraping his teeth and then he left and never washed his hands, luckily the door opened when I was leaving so I didn't have to touch the handle after him.
