This makes me so angry!
I haven't gone to the cinema in over a year (I think) because I'm just so sick of people ruining the experience. Literally every time you go there's muppets talking, messing, playing with their phones.
For 2 people the cinema costs around €30-€40, depending on what night you go and what food you get.
Now, I don't know about anybody else but I definitely don't have €30-€40 to throw around willy nilly so when I go to the cinema, I want to get my money's worth! But there seems to be a huge amount of people who want to pay €30-€40 to sit in a dark room, watch about 45 minutes of a film and spend the rest of their time messing on their phone and chatting to their muppet friends.
Why do you need to use Facebook/Instagram/snapchat during the film? Why are you taking a phone call during the film?
There's nothing worse than having the light of someone's phone constantly catching your eye (because you're in a dark room!) while you're trying to watch a film.
And, to be honest, I hate having to get up and tell someone to stop acting the muppet because you lose about 30 minutes of the film, you spend about 10-15 minutes being distracted by the muppet, trying to decide if you're going to say something, then you use up another 10-15 minutes when you go over and say something and the person is usually an absolute asshole so when you sit back down, you're distracted by your anger, then you return your attention to the film not knowing what's going on.

Another thing that annoys me is when you go out to the staff and explain what's going on, they stick their head in 5 minutes later, everyone is behaving themselves and as soon as the employee leaves, they start acting the dick again. Are they not supposed to poke their heads in regularly to ensure nobody is acting the dick?!

Anyway, sorry, mega rant there, clearly a sore topic for me :pac:

Have to totally agree with you on this. Jeez, I welcome the couple of hours away from phone, chatting & try to lose myself in whatever I'm watching. Went to see Isle of Dogs on Sunday and there were a few kids at it who were all far better behaved than those two yokes! I did end up letting the manager know afterwards and they comped me a cinema ticket which was nice anyway

I've been writing about the place of "attitude" in the new workforce all weekend, a topic I'm particularly passionate about.
For various reason's Ive not given my bedroom a good clean in ages and ages and ages, as I'm allergic to dust I bought a package of dust masks. Sib who is fixated on hoovering at the same time each week, makes a smart comment about why I hadn't hoovered the dust up before now/why I hadn't done it before/why I needed the masks, in a snarky tone.
Annoying as it stands, but worse when I've been submerged in such positivity all weekend.

When you watch a film at night and you are tired, the film is quite crap and you want to go to bed but you tell yourself 'hang on a while, it might get better soon' so you stay up. It doesn't get any better. The next morning you feel like crap trying to get out of bed all for the sake of a rubbish film.

People greenlighting stuff at the likes of Amazon and Netflix. I'm pretty sure I have the minutes of the meetings worked out.

"I saw a TV show/film/read a book/comic book once."
"Perfect, let's order it to series! How much?"
"Say... $10 million an episode?"
"Perfect! $40 million an episode it is!"

1. When you look at your phone and realise you just rang somebody you don't want to ring, and haven't rang in years, but know you better not remove their number from your phone or else you might answer a call from their then anonymous number at some stage.

2. Dark clothes. What is it with the vast majority of shops in Ireland that they choose all these dark, puritan colours? Browns, greys, navys and blacks - and, no, black doesn't make you look "slimming"; at this stage, if you're wearing black it probably means you're fat and trying to hide it. Bright but strong colours - orange, yellow, blues - would be a refreshing break in Ireland.

3. Self-described "designers" - I think I'd gladly push about 95% of them off a cliff. I paid a mere €35 for a self-declared "designer" in one of the best-known design/print stationary shops to design something small but sentimental - expecting that they might have technical knowledge or a design programme or experience that would make it worthwhile. What they came back with I could easily have done myself in WORD, Paint or numerous other programmes. It's as if they're stuck in about 1993, ignoring all the online applications available to us in 2018 to do what was "technically skilled" in 1993 and depending on old or computer illiterate people to keep that side of their business going.

"Interior designer" - just what exactly is your qualification, for how many years did you study for it and where is your website and detailed portfolio of work? I've met so many of these particular chances in the past year of house building. After a few hours on Pinterest I could probably describe myself as an "interior designer", put on a peculiar intonation and feign strong, passionate views about all sorts of rubbish.

I started to get a toothache last night,it's not too bad and didn't keep me awake just a dull ache,I know that I should get it looked at asap but I'm terrified of going to the dentist..why hasn't painless dentistry been invented at this stage ffs,also my dentist is very businesslike and there's no real empathy she just goes for it and I need TLC when I'm shaking with nerves on that chair.I wish there was an option to get a full anaesthetic before the torture.

When a pedestrian presses the button and is waiting at the crossing, the car ahead of you waves the pedestrian out onto the road to cross and the light goes orange, the car ahead of you then speeds through the orange light and you're left sitting at the red light waiting for all the invisible pedestrians to cross.
This creates another problem with pedestrians then assuming that every car will always let them cross the road without using the pedestrian lights so then you have pedestrians walking out onto the road or standing in the middle of the road trying to cross in front of moving traffic.

When you contact a company with a simple quick question and they go through a whole slew of questions - name, dob, address, etc for "Data Protection" reasons. I fully understand that data protection legislation is needed, but I just wish the person on the phone could exercise some discretion about whether all these questions are necessary given the query.

For instance, I went on to the chat section of my mobile phone network's website to ask are they giving my private number to a company called "Voucherdaily.com" which is now sending me SMS "photo messages" to do surveys for Not-So-Super-Valu and the apartheid supporters in Dunnes. This page. There is no link in each "photo message" to unsubscribe, which I sense is illegal, so it's annoying me that they are getting away with this.

In this context you don't need to give me an inquisition before answering the question. A quick yes/no will suffice.

Claim the tax back - on everything. You can go back 4 years with medical expenses, and it's always worth while ringing Revenue to see if they owe you money.

TA today...people who constantly moan. They'd just drag you down, if you let them.

When you contact a company via their email address. You ask them your questions and say that you'd appreciate an email reply. Then you get an email returned with a phone number so you can ring with your queries.

If you can't handle email enquiries then don't say on your website "contact us via <phone number> or <email address> with any queries". I spent enough time typing my queries, I don't want to have to rehash them via phone call.

Facebook.

I've often thought their suggested pages to Like because "Friend X, Friend Y, Friend Z like IBM" or some ridiculous page that those people will never like.

They released the new feature of being able to send a meme or video to someone in Messenger rather than tag the person on it. They first asked if I wanted to do that, "no" says I, then asked another time, same answer from me. Today they decided to "auto enable" the feature.

They definitely listen too, I have the mic turned off, last night I was in the car with the wife, Adele comes on the radio. I asked if she remembered the video where Adele herself entered the lookalike competition. Today, video 2 (after the video I tagged someone in) is the video of her in that competition.

Agreed. I had the misfortune to run into such a person earlier. "I had to go to the doctor......" like I want to hear all that crap. I'm feeling rotten myself for the past two weeks but I'm not going round whinging. Except on Boards!

5 weeks into recovery from broken ribs I'm at the point where I can finally function without pain meds. Could even do a few situps last night without hurting too badly.

But now I'd think I've a bloody chest infection (common side effect of a rib injury)

It never seems to end. All I want to do is just get back out training.
