I shouldnt have went out this morning.Went for teh bus to go to Aldi,my wheel fell off my trolley.
The bus i was getting on to town was due in 2 minutes,then went to 12 minutes.The other bus was stopped like it was broke down.

Ended up going the opposite direction on another bus.Fine.

Coming out of Aldi i seen the bus pulling away for going home.
15 minutes later a bus flies past,saying out of service.

Waited for the next bus that never came.An hour later the other bus turned up.My feet are like blocks of ice.

I wouldnt mind i would have been home quicker walking.

Im home now with my fluffy socks and my dressing gown on me.Im going no where.

For me it's the sound of cracking fingers and knuckles. I used to sit next to a guy in work who would constantly do that and it would really get to me.

Vodafone customer service. What an absolute shower of incompetents. First off they argue with me about how much i am currently paying. I'm pretty sure i know how much that is as i pay it every month. and then when she actually looks at a bill and realises she is wrong proceeds to ask me if i wanted to sign up to a new 12 month contract at the rate i am already on. Get up to ****.

Every year what I presume is a Christmas card comes to our house for the old lady over the road, so every year I drop it over. Could she not tell whoever sends it the correct house number? Bah humbug!

Got an email earlier about the conferring ceremonies for January in college. Among the courses listed for a January graduation is mine which means I most likely won’t graduate officially until 2021 and it being January of course the weather will be shíte so there goes any chance of getting decent pictures

I got some gallium for a child one Christmas. He might like that too. Bit of kitchen science...

No TA really apart from weird deflated feeling and my lacy crochet shrug/cardi catching on everything.

Bus home was absolutely rammed, I was literally standing beside the driver. He stopped in Rathmines to let someone off and a woman with a buggy tried to get on, then went absolutely MENTAL when he told her there was no room. I know I’ve given out before about people standing when there’s seats and not moving all the way back but it was like frickin sardines the whole length of the bus. She told him he should have put people off to let her on.

This time of the year there seems to be a lot of charties/causes leaning on people.
Passing through a local very small village today, I saw 3 posters for 3 separate fundraisers coming up over Christmas all in the same area.
I know all causes are deserving etc but it does get tiring trying to decide which is most deserving and appropriate to me to support.
I was asked directly recently to sponsor a non registered charity (ie a fundraiser someone was doing privately for a cause). I was really annoyed by the direct approach and I think people should just advertise their cause generally on a poster or social media page and not push a sponsorship card or book of tickets at someone directly.
I remember as kids in primary school, there were always charities using school kids to go door to door to get sponsorship for them. Thankfully those are outlawed now.

In the wake of the exit polls, sterling has now soared and I'm going to the UK next week. I knew I should have bought some before now.
On the plus side though, I'm enjoying John Bercow on Sky news, in more ways than one

There's a woman living in my home area. She always looks glamorous but elegant. Saw her the last day I was in town and someone remarked "I'd say he (her partner, older gentleman) makes her dress like that. "
Like what? Nicely? You would see past it if she went shopping in a catsuit and thigh boots. I can't exactly pinpoint what feels so wrong about his mentality but it got my blood up.

Good election results in NI but very very disappointed for the overall UK results. I despair.

TA being the responsible grown up child in my family. Dad's car broke down this morning so I helped him out with some cash to get it sorted. Meanwhile there's my 40 year old man child brother living in their converted attic for f*ck all rent, with a 171 Audi to drive himself. I feel sorry for Dad having so little at his stage in life but also annoyed because if he demanded decent rent from his waster son he would be ok. Of course, man child can't help them out (not that they would ask) because he is paying off all his loans to fund the cars, holidays and general lifestyle that he simply cannot afford. I know I should take a hard line but my parents are old and I feel it falls to me to help them. TA I have no spine when it comes to family! :mad:

You're not alone,my parents are in their 70's and dealing with a 41 year old man child who also has an alcohol addiction and is nasty to my parents .

I paid €8 for next day delivery on an order I placed on the 4th of this month, its still not here and they're blaming the storm. I've asked for a refund on the delivery charge and they're refusing, saying its only a guide, not a guarantee.

TA'd I have two parties this weeked and nothing to wear, and I've paid €8 more than I should have for the privilege of being inconvenienced.

Is it a parent/ son thing? I know if I behaved the way he did they would have something to say about it. He literally takes responsibility for nothing, and could not care less about his family. All he cares about is his stupid car that he changes every year and his holidays. The house could be falling down around my parents and he wouldn't even see it. God I hate him :(:(

Same feeling towards my brother , he's caused so much heartache 😔

The custom of handshaking needs to die out.
I don't do it, ever since my girlfriend had leukaemia and had to be protected from cold and flu germs.
We all pick up germs on our hands in between washing.

It clearly offends some people if their outstretched hand is ignored, but I can't be dealing with justifying myself on this.

Personal space invaders

I was waiting at the bus stop for my bus which was late, oh well

While I was standing still a chap with a backpack stood in front of me and back up touching off me. Why?? A withering look from me had him step forward a little and that was all that was required

I don't expect metres of space at a bus stop, just don't back up into me and look like I did something wrong. Not just a bus stop issue, can happen in Spar, Tesco, chipper, etc

I've never gotten this. If you wanted something why didn't you just ask for it?

It's weirdly passive aggressive and feeds into the whole "Wimmins, wha?" narrative that I absolutely loathe.

People who grew up in the country but can't and won't shoot, sail, ride or ramble.

Newbridge, the constant handshaking would give anyone a p.i.t.a!

To me though there's also an element of all these gestures becoming devoid of meaning. The same with the continental cheek kiss and the English hug...etiquette's much like any rules, if it doesn't have a sensible purpose, why would I adhere blindly to it? There's no refinement to that.And no warmth.
