Shop people asking "Is that everything?"

It isannoying but I think the reasoning behind it is so that if you have something tucked up your jumper you can’t say you simply forgot.
Same every time i go over to the filling station for Monday night’s 8 tins of pringles and get the “any fuel?” Every bloody time.

I do enjoy watching the NFL highlights, but I agree that there seems to be some sort of cult clique of die-hard Irish NFL fans. They get a bit too obsessed imo.

People who call you after you text them - it should be a criminal offence.

Padre_Pio

Theres so many things i want to do but I have no time to do them.

So much so that I can't stop thinking about them and now I can't sleep and am on Boards at 2am.

It's a vicious cycle....

Car broke down, had to get a bus, train, luas, bus to get home.

Garage not open today so said it will probably be Thursday before its fixed.

I will then have to repeat the above in reverse to collect and then drive home.

I have a certain person that does this all the time.
So what i do now is text.... quickly switch to airplane mode OR divert all my calls for the next few hours They will inevitably text when they cant annoy you by calling. I train them:cool:

That's genius. I too have one offender in my contacts. Must start this.

My phone TA is parents who insist on using Whatsapp for calls even though they can just make a normal call for nothing. Why waste your (and my) time with the time delays and bad signals when you can just use your phone for it's intended function?

People who presume to know your mind and finish your sentences getting it shockingly wrong every time.

The worst or best example would be when I was about to describe a racist incident my friend's child experienced so I started by saying "my friend's a bit wary of x city because her chd 'y' is mixed race and..."
The evil minded bast*** the badminded little sh1t cut in with a sneer and said "so 'y' is a negro, is what you're saying"
I was too stunned to take it up with the person. I got the impression he wasn't being racist and calling 'y' a negro, rather he was attempting to portray me as racist and I can only assume they were trying to character assasinate me to make himself feel good. He turned out to be very messed up in the head though.

I saw advertisements this morning from a local reskilling organisation about free Health Care Assistant training, where by the finish you will be qualified Level 5 and can work in hospitals/nursing homes etc.

Only open to women though
🙄

HSE, for the umpteenth occasion. My father booked in for a 2pm appointment with the oncologist, when we arrived a half hour prior the waiting room was rammed like sardines in a tin. Apparently "2pm" is a guideline, with the administrators happy to overbook & keep struggling individuals in various stages of cancer waiting for hours. A simplified approach would be to stagger the appointment times for clients, however changing a lackadaisical culture takes years.

Awful when you already have so much on your plate

Just had another example a few minutes ago. Background- work in UK and 70-80% of the people I deal with are of South Asian origin. English is not their first language and quite often they cannot read English.

So they ring up:-

Mr X: (panic stricken) Oh I need this for blah blah etc etc
Me: We sent that to you weeks ago. Did you not receive it?
Mr X: Oh I get a lot of letters. I have not opened them
Me: Well perhaps you should. All the info you need is contained in that envelope.
Mr X: Which one is from you?
Me: We only sent you one letter and it has our company post mark on the front of it.
Mr X: Oh ok. I will check.

Or another beauty. This guy asked that we email him rather than post him important info because the whole family is called "Mohammed" and others may open his post. Fair enough.

So a few weeks go by he rings up asking why we have not been in touch. Told him that we have emailed him a few times. "Oh right. I don't check my emails very often."

Jesus wept.

How can that be legal? If it said men only there'd be ructions

Probably because they will be required to work with female patients/residents.

Knife lickers.

TA'd at myself for the complete and utter lack of patience I have for everyone today. Had to work long hours over weekend, and I'm absolutely worn out. But that should not mean I take it out on others (within reason, one or two people in work have deserved my wrath today).

iamwhoiam

Brian Dobson interrupting Mary Lou and not letting her finish a sentence

Trigger Happy

This persistent stubborn cold is a TA at the moment.

thomil

TA'd that both the meeting that caused me to come in early today and the meeting that caused me to stay in the office longer tonight were both cancelled without anyone telling me...

Sardonicat

Fecking intermittent car alarm that's been going off all day is going to continue into the night, apparently.

Ol' Donie

Dear Netflix,

Please please please put up the next season or two of Death In Paradise.

And while I'm at it, could you bring back The Long Way Round?

Please?

For the XVIth time, there is nothing wrong with roman numerals!

That shíte rebuttal; "touch a nerve".

Implying the other poster has some sort of agenda, should be banned!

Edit - I'm reporting it in future as an attack on the poster.

Business shows and overused buzz words; mainly "sustainability", "stories" and "journeys".

Waiting in the car at a junction for the lights to change. Just as soon as they go green, a feckin pedestrian will step out!

Waiting to turn left at a junction when there is a cyclist on the inside who is going straight ahead. Allowing time for him/ her to go straight on before I execute the turn and they sit there waiting for me to turn before going straight on.

There is a poster in the TA thread who keeps dropping a maddening phrase at the end of each post. I can't call it out as a TA because it would be mean and not in the spirit of the thread, but I literally have nowhere else to air it! I almost need another TA thread to be TA'd about it in!

Bad hygiene in canteens. Don't ****ing rub your snotty nose and then put your filthy mitts on the coffee machine!! The best one I saw was some troglodyte ahead of me in the pizza queue rubbing the cheese off the pizza cutter with the side of his finger. Me and the lad behind me both commented and the dirty yoke didn't see the problem

In my work it's generally three letter acronyms and I'd say most people who use them don't actually know what they stand for.

I'm genuinely shocked by this. What rock have people been living under to even consider voting for SF?

I've no idea. My mother asked me to check something on their afternoon show on the RTE player yesterday and I had to force myself to endure a few minutes of it, thank goodness for the fast forward button, I could feel my brain cells shutting down.

The headlines this morning saying Sinn Fein are the biggest party in the State.

Pure scaremongering. They are only running 42 candidates. Even if all of those get elected (which they won't) they will not have the most seats of any party in the Dail.

The worrying thing is that too many people are thinking about giving them a vote out of protest. People seem to overlook that they are a mouthpiece and respectable, cough, front for terrorism.

The polls consistently over the years over egg SF's final percentage.

Personally I would take a good 5% off that at least.

Adverts.ie still allowing animals to be sold on the "adoption" part of its site. First ad in the dog section is Presa Canario pups, clearly for sale, price included and all. Its no better than Donedeal.
