Thinks Wich Trivilly anoy u.

I've been taking driving lessons out in Maynooth for a while. When I finish the lesson, I walk to the main street to get a bus and literally every time I see people on their phones while passing through the main junction there even during the middle of a turn. And I don't mean talking, I mean with the phone down by their lap and texting or posting.

Having just spent on hour or two being told how important observation is, that makes me crazy. Some have N or L plates too.

The patronizing tone of some posters when their argument is not as strong as they might like it to be.
Things like "my dear", "sleep well", "take care" added to the post does not make an "iffy" argument any bit stronger.

There's a person like that in my workplace. They could be spouting the most tremendous BS but they seem to think if they wrap it up in the patronizing package that will placate people.

It doesn't.

People just loose interest in arguing with anyone at that level of obnoxious-ness, and privately the fact you act like a jerk overwhelms the substance (if there was any) of your argument, so from a discussion point of view you have just spoiled things for yourself and others.

That James Blunt on one of the tv ad's the girls have on constantly, his voices grips me and brings on a tidal wave of how my life was before the housing crisis, homesick every single time I hear it and it's on all the dam time.

TA, girl dog walking around with her chew in her mouth so it looks like a cigarette, reminds me of my late dad.

Answer them while eating and just spit half your lunch at them.....they'll soon stop talking

Insomnia combined with people counting down to events in "sleeps" is highly confusing.

I just spilled a freshly made cup of tea into my lap because I’m a klutz.
I have scalded myself and I look like I have bladder control issues

Oh my god this times 1000!!!!! Why do people feel the need to make small talk just because you are in the kitchen/ canteen together? It drives me f*cking mad.

Feeling so overwhelmed and down in the dumps even though things are pretty good for me right now and I have no reason to be feeling like this.
I think I need to have a good cry for myself.

The insanity of the stock market.

Netflix posts massive free cash flow losses and fully expect that to continue for several years? The shares skyrocket
Phillip Morris International posts strong cash flow growth? The shares plummet over 15%

TA at the way the Brits say “I’m poorly” instead of “I’m sick”. Maybe it’s not just Brits that say it but I associate it with them. Sorry if that’s Britaphobic

Seriously though, hope you feel better soon.

Also I was just full on talking to myself while parked and someone caught me so I had to do that awkward thing where you pretend you’re using hands free.

I'm just done with stupid questions today. Can I pack up the world and just go home?

Ta'd I did a Java exam today and you have to log into oracle certview to view the results, I tried to log in three times with the correct info and now I'm locked out I tried contacting them hoping they'll get back to me sooner rather than later as the wait is killing me and our lecture needs the results .

They've dispatched Ross Kemp and he will be coming after you for that one.......

Individuals in work expecting you to jump to what they need that minute... I have at least 16 people looking for things at any one time, so join the que.

Dublin Bus's 102 service from "Sutton to Dublin Airport via Seabury".

Presumably "Sutton to Dublin Airport via Seabury but, hey, let's do some some 360° spins around random roundabouts and take in most of Swords (and bits of Swords that pretend to be Malahide) before somehow, miraculously, popping out unexpectedly at the airport" wouldn't fit on the signage.

Dear God, my back teeth were floating.

And to add insult, I was gagging for a pizza in the Oak Café in T2. Kitchen closed. At 7pm. In an international airport.

Dominoes'll deliver from Swords, right?

The b*tch that parked beside me in Paul Street car park today and just swerved in meaning I couldn't get into the passenger side of the car. Had my mum with me so it made things a bit awkward. Moron.

Just upended a kettle full of water over my phone iPad and bed..... Very very TA'd!!

The death (pardon the pun) of the term "... has died".

No-one dies any more, they "pass away".

And it seems to have even moved on to animals as well. On the TodayFM sports news today they were talking about some great Irish horse, and it had "passed away" earlier today.

Horses aren't even allowed to die now. I suppose it was probably to spare the heartache of its family.

TA'd that our water went off without any warning

People knocking at my door pontificating about why they are voting one way or another in the referendum . I don't need anyone else to make up my mind for me . I can actually think for myself

People who wait to cross the street at traffic lights, but do not pres the button.
Especially when they are across the street from me, and my traffic light does not have a button.

Pedestrians who are in a couple on a narrow footpath, walking towards me, but do not leave room for me to pass.
No, I'm NOT going to step on to that busy road.
Make room.

People on escalators that do not walk, yet do not stay on one side, blocking me who wants to walk.
Escalators are slow.

Oh, that hit a note!

Also, smokers in front of pub doors, blocking pedestrians.
I'm a smoker but am always conscious of blocking the footpath.

igCorcaigh

Cyclists, going the wrong way or disobeying traffic lights (and nearly knocking me down).

You can see my posts are basically pedestrian angst.
I don't drive, but walk the city a lot.

The pedestrian etiquette in Cork is a a horror.

igCorcaigh

People who bring bags of chips on to the bus.
It's uncivilised.

Or the ones who think you can somehow melt into the wall to make way for them and their entourage.

My TA is that I had to wash my hair last night because it needed to be washed but now, this morning, it's too soft to put in a ponytail because it's so short.

We have nowhere to store our Christmas tree so its still up. Even though its May next week. I'm sick of the sight of it.

There's a member of staff helping out in the department I work in. I got an email this morning telling me that she had done something incorrectly, very simple but we all make mistakes, especially when we're new to something. So she was sitting just behind me with her back to me doing something and I said "oh Mary* when you're doing that, will you just make sure you're ticking x and y as well" and I was pointing at the computer screen and saying "do you see there?" and there was no response so I turned around and said "do you see what I'm talking about?" and she glared at me and said "not from here no" so I moved back my chair so she could scoot in with me and look at what I was talking about and she just continued what she was doing. So I said again "just when you're doing that, you have to tick x and y, otherwise Joan* will be emailing us the whole time telling us to sort it out". She said "but I do do that" and I said "I'm just looking at one from Wednesday that Joan emailed me about and it's not done" and she insisted that she does do that. So I said "ah sure maybe you missed it just on one of them so it's not a big deal, when you're doing something repetitive you can sometimes skip a step" but she kept insisting that she does it correctly and looking at me like I was something she scraped off the bottom of her shoe. I pulled my chair back into my desk but the atmosphere was so bad, I got up and left the office. Seriously, it's fucking Friday!!!
