    Couldn't figure out why my face hurt, then realised I was so tense I was holding my jaw in a weird frozen crooked position.

    TAd that I didnt realise before my jaw started aching.

    My neighbours chatty shrill voice in the hallway, talking at the top of her lungs.

    When standing and taking off your shoes, you untie the laces with one hand but a knot forms and jams up. You then need to sit down and unravel it.

    ta'd that you can't cut your hair yourself and it look decent.

    TA'd at the latest update of OneNote! Why'd they have to take a great app and screw it up like that?

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    Hair slides with catchy edges. Try pulling them out , hair caught, can't move the slide forward or back. Of course it's at the back of my head. I have been struggling with my arms behind my head and im probably making it worse . At times like this I'd nearly get back with ex just to have someone to help with these things.

    TA using laptop in bed means nowhere to put mouse so I use the touch thing but it's wobbly and the cursor has a life of its own. clicking on the wrong things .

    Period cramps that make you feel like you're being gutted from the inside out. And forgetting every month that it's actually period cramps and thinking wtf kind of food poisoning / stomach bug / extreme nausea is this??

    Discovered these caramel squares in Aldi in a moment of madness and now I’ve resigned to forever having a muffin top.

    Got home in time to cut the grass for the first time this year, and decided to have a couple of bottles of beer at the same time.

    TA that I don't understand what a "couple" actually means, and that I now have a bit of a hangover. On the plus side, the grass looks great :)

    Slimy bleach on your hand, seems to spread around instead of washing off.

    Bar soap slime.

    Bottle of Swarfega coated in black grease.

    Not understanding half the references people make because I haven't watched whatever programme it's from .

    And the same thing just ****ing happened again yesterday. Including taking €2 for a daily mobile pass hours after i turned of my mobile data.
    Great day for it too.

    Apparently it is my inactive pay as you go plan what is causing this.
    Never mind it has been inactive for 8 months and out of those 8 months, there hasnt been a problem taking €10 for an internet add on for 6 of them.

    17 years i have been with these dildos, i hardly ever use my phone so any effort to switch providers (like there arent glorious stories of the other ones all over this site) is too much.
    But i guess i just might have to.

    And 9 days later i get daily updates via DM in twitter that the tech team is still trying to solve this.

    And i couldnt help myself:
    We are still talking about my mobile phone\addon failure and not the space shuttle, right?

    Imagine i had been so daft to call their helpdesk in India.

    I did, once , for a laptop . The woman told me to find a screwdriver and she'd talk me through fixing it?!

    That would have been a great way to get rid of you. Warranty voided as soon as the screws look damaged.

    When Ticketmaster doesn't list prices for upcoming events and any news article on the gig/performance will list a "Prices from" at best.

    Do you know of an app called FB Purity?
    I use it. It cuts down on some of that

    TA I'm always scared when I see a notification that a moderator has commented :P

    GBX You can also filter out 'content with certain keywords . Eg. mine include Donald Trump, Brexit, and Football .

    I hate when people say, having a cheeky this or sneaky that. How the fuk is it cheeky or sneaky? You're having a beer. You didn't break into fort knox or something.

    Driving 120 miles to a training course over 3 days (40 miles a day) and I'm told after it that I can't claim my mileage back on it coz I don't have 'business use' on my insurance. WTAF. I don't use my car for business, why would I have business use on my insurance? Actually raging.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 22,377 CMod ✭✭✭✭Pawwed Rig


    That is a BS excuse btw. You do not need business use insurance to claim mileage.
    You can claim it yourself if you file tax returns btw. Not as much but still worthwhile.

    Check revenue's guidelines for expenses. As far as I remember you can claim the lower of the distance from your usual place of work or your home address. They say nothing about your insurance policy.

    Just to drive the point home I'd show the guidelines to them and ask for the appropriate daily subsistence allowance on top of travel allowance.

    What's the etiquette for when you are in the toilets taking a code brown and the female cleaner knocks on the door to see if anyone is there.


    "Sorry, I've started so I can't stop this."
    "Just wiping, be out in a minute"
    "You'd better bring the expensive cleaning products....and a semi decent air freshener"

    "Go away, taking a sh*te"


    or



    *sit silently*

    I tend to find a very loud and aggressive "WHAT?" does the trick.

    If you sit silently, she'll think there's no one in there and go in. She could then hear the 'playful splash' :eek:

    Best to let out a few coughs or, worst case scenario, pretend you are talking on the phone.
