TA'ed at the snowball effect of procrastination.... That I must clean up things I left undone yesterday, while facing what also needs done today to prepare for tomorrow.

Freaked out and TA !

I was using a wheat bag this last while rather than a hot water bottle, and this evening it was smelling of burnt wheat when I took it out of the microwave. I aired it but still brought it to bed, thinking maybe I had left it a bit too long and it would cool down anyways... But it wasn't really cooling, and I didn't trust it. I put it in the sink and poured water on it (risk of fire freaks me out) and it went like I had poured water over hot coals !

That thing is going in the bin of course, but I'm annoyed as I loved it so much. Water bottle it is now I guess.

Very scary stories about wheat bags self igniting, thought I'd post this here, might warn someone else ! :eek:

Oh my, glad you are safe. That sounds dangerous!

Have you tried a rice bag? I leave mine in the freezer for a cool compress, then nuke it when I need a warm compress.... Every once in awhile I make a new one when it seems as if I over-heated the last one.

What kind of monsters would loudly sing happy birthday to a colleague in an open plan office? At 20 past 8 in the morning?

CRINGE!!!!!!!!!!!

The phrase "use your words" does my head in. It makes me cringe when I hear someone saying it to a child. I get the sentiment but it sounds so damn condescending or something.

Trigger Happy

Cleaned and waxed the car.
Got it just perfect so a seagul could have a dump on it about 15 minutes after the cleaning.

Tell me how

Most of people are probably going to disagree with me on this one. 

In a pharmacy yesterday and a mother with, I'd say a child just under 2 came in.
Everything she did, she explained to the child;

"Come over to the counter, we need to give lady your prescription for your tummy tablets"

"I need to get toothpaste because yours at home is nearly gone"

"Let's go to the butchers while they're getting your tablets so we can get Dad his dinner".

All very normal, lovely for the child to be engaged in this way and she's obviously a very loving mother.

But..... I didn't need to hear every goddamn word. The rest of us weren't interested in yere conversation. The two customers who were chatting and had to stop while you explained that "all these people must have sick tummy's as well" because you were right beside them and they couldn't hear each other didn't need to hear it either.

Your child is wonderful, you're wonderful, your reward is in the post. No need to keep competing.

I completely get the need to do that but it is just those three words !

Exhausted after hanging out the washing, my arms are aching from the weight of the duvet covers. Pegs incorrectly pegged on the line so they don't push up the line out of my way, always has to be a couple. Parts of the line that I just can't reach , briefly considered getting out the little step ladder but felt that was going a bit too far. And now the sky is blackening, FML:(

I bought an amazing dress from an American website for a wedding I have in two weeks. I’m in between a small and a medium so for some reason I went for the small. The dress took three weeks to get here, forty euro in customs and when I took it out of the package I’m like wtf is that it won’t go on my big toe. So I tried it on and couldn’t get it up over my Tesco sandwich arse. So now I’m lumbered with a dress that won’t go on me, can’t order the medium cos I won’t have it in time, the realisation I’m no longer a size 8 and a Dominos and Donuts arse I need to lose in two weeks.

Shurrup, you sound bleedin perfect.


I got a message that my assistance was urgently needed on a conference call, so I joined the call. I think after a whole hour I said "Thanks, bye".

Dial Hard

My colleagues all whinging about their weight while they hoover up the contents of the vending machine twice a day. These things aren't unrelated, ladies. One of them had FOUR slices of toast for her breakfast, followed by a can of coke and a Dairy Milk.

Also, I burnt the roof of my mouth on my dinner last night and just made the mistake of eating two very tart clementines. Yowch.

My two eldest have postponed their birthday celebrations because they are active on different sides in the upcoming referendum. I'm working the bank holiday and the ref is the 25th, so my ta, when to schedule the party, before and they'll be too busy or distracted, too soon after and it will seem the other is gloating over the victory, later on, they and I will be travelling a lot.

Another one, as they lost out a bit on parties in their childhood I would usually do childish foods for whichever birthday wants them, but that kind of food seems inappropriate given the proximity to the 25th!

Ta2, flicking through the paper yesterday the one full of the cervical smear/breast check bad news and the upcoming ref, I absentmindedly comment how it's no country for women at the mo, this was responded by boysib who has had everything in his life handed or done for him by women. Its no country for men now either. Yea, cause its all about you!
With your bodily autonomy, non-existent breast or cervical cancer, its all about you!

Looked at the pictures on my phone.

Found a selfie that my daughter took of her doing the peace sign and duck face.

I had a few pints last night. I'm tired. Piss of and leave me alone. Social interaction I want today is nil. Stop trying to drum up conversation with me.

I use this phrase on my missus but she's German and can either be totally silent or monosyllabic when I want a response

I'm being a grumpy cnut for no reason today and I'm annoying myself. Also need to cop myself on and book my flights home for the referendum. Going to cost me a fortune, it better pass.

Your Face

Walking to work today.
A good bit ahead of me theres a girl walking straight towards me so I move in plenty of time.

Defying logic, she moves again to be directly in my path.
Its too late to move - we're in front on each other.

I get an 'oh sorry' and an affected giggle.

Same thing happens nearer work but this fella seems to want to walk into someone.

Perhaps he shouldn't have walked into a 18 stone man walking briskly to work.

Definitely, I only use it to my wife, and very condescendingly.
I think she knows I'm joking.

Massively TA'd by ****ty IT in an IT company. How hard is it to implement email?
And no, I don't want to hear the gibberish details (I'm one of the non reconnaissance ppl) of the problem, I just like buttons to do what I expect when I click them.

TA about this busy store still operating some stone age contact policy. I'm up in Dublin tomorrow and want to fly and and pick something up I paid a while ago. The only way to get in touch with them is via phone but nobody ever picks up, you can request a call back. And ofc they call me when I'm in the car and can't take the call.
So now I had to call them again saying I missed their call. Just hire a receptionist ffs, your store is busy enough for it!

The current government. Almost everything I read about them and especially when mininsters comment, I find myself raising an eyebrow too.

Seems to be scandal after scandal and the incompetence really bloody annoys me.

Thanks, never actually ! I like that it's something I'd be able to make myself. I'm going to wash the cover of the wheat bag and I might just do my own thing like that. (it has a zip, and velcros inside to hold little bags of whatever in place)






My TA of the day is that I wasn't able to find SlimFast powder anywhere today ?

I never realized places stopped selling it, but I've done two spots where I used to find it and they don't stock it anymore.

Since I look like a serial killer in my passport I went and bought a passport card. Which doesn't work at the e-gates I've tried in four EU Airports, including bloody Dublin! And I was treated like and arsehole by staff for assuming it should work in our countries main airport. Get rid of the CTA and join Schengen ffs!

Try grounding her, first. Or tell her you'll be using all the ridiculous photos she takes to shame her in front of her friends and relatives for her 21st, or much sooner if needs be. Bound to work.:D

Loved it when the head of Facebook was being questioned and the ministers doing the questioning said, "we cant believe you didn't know" (about the info being harvested) Now we're supposed to believe THEM, when they say "we didn't know"........Do we?:mad:

And the 3 pill size drops of some sauce on the side, and a smear of something green... I can't taste it. The drop size thing. I don't know what it is. Stop doing it.

Another pet hate of mine is food piled on top of each other. Like having for example some mash, then veg on it, then sauce, then your meat/fish. Looks nice, yes but it's so impractical to eat!

I hate having to assemble my meal when the food arrives, something in that bowl, something on that plate, something in that other bowl AND THE TABLE ISN'T BIG ENOUGH FOR ALL THE BOWLS AND PLATES but the server just drops everything somewhere on the table and legs it. Actually that's my biggest hatred, small tables:mad:

Always in Indian restaurants. Rice in one bowl, sauce in another bowl, separate third plate. Am I supposed to pour the sauce into the tiny rice bowl? Or pour the rice on top of the sauce? Or pour both onto the plate? But the sauce bowl is scalding hot and I can't pick it up so I try to spoon the sauce over to the plate. But now sauce is all over the tablecloth and not on the plate and the rice has come out in a clump and half of that has fallen off the plate too. Just :mad:

Where I live is on lockdown because Ed Sheeran is playing in close proximity this weekend.
Had to park the car a 25 minute walk away from our house last night, due to a mixture of all available spaces being gone (people had already started dumping their cars) and the lovely sound guards not believing we're residents, so not allowing us near our house.
Apparently we should have utility bills on hand to prove we live locally but no one told us this. :mad:

Object next time a concert is announced, citing your concerns, make sure your neighbors also do this, see if changes can be applied before the next concert
