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

Exactly. If we believe polls then Hillary is the US president, David Cameron never won his last election as leader and Brexit never happened.

Pat Kenny's insistence on pronouncing Greta Thunberg's surname as "Thunberry". Yes Pat, maybe it is how they pronounce it in Sweden, but you're supposed to be communicating in English, not showing off your knowledge.

TA'd by Pat Kenny in general actually. Not for the first time.

When your waiting for somebody to call and you've to use the toilet as soon as your in there. You fear somebody outside.

Have a course to do for work over the next six Tuesdays, starting today. Handy enough and counts as a work day on the roster.

Only there is a woman on it who has the most annoying, drawn-out smoker's laugh of all-time. She seems to laugh at everything too, so it is so, so grating on the ears.

Jesus give me strength.

Maybe take a short break and go for a walk. Sometimes the best thing is just to walk away from it for a bit, get some air and clear your head then come back to it with a fresh mind.

Same. He is such a dry sh*te, I don't know how he passes off as a TV "personality".

When you are dining with someone and obviously aren't meant to talk with your mouth full but also you're not both going to sit there in silence eating. So, the appropriate etiquette might be to say something while your mouth is empty and then place a forkful of food in your mouth. TA people who wait until just after you've put the fork of food in and then say, "what?" - it actually enrages as opposed to TAs me. Especially (and I can't believe how often this happens) people who have actually heard you, but just say "what" out of habit, followed a few seconds later by their response. or, the ones who keep saying, "what?" even though you are waiting until you've finished that mouthful before repeating yourself. Oh my God it just drives me insane!

Forgive me, but does that mean all xxxxbergs are pronounced xxxxberry ?
In Sweden that is😊

As for Kenny...he should be pushed out to sea, naked.....on an iceberry

Mary Lou McDonald, I'm sick to death of seeing her ugly mush everywhere. How people are even considering voting for SF is a mystery to me. It's like they are suffering from collective amnesia.

Crappy wine glasses in restaurants. I know I sound like a knob but I love a really big, but thin glass that has been chilling for a few minutes. I hate when you get given some short stemmed yoke that’s like something they rooted out from the 1950s with room temp warm served

Suffering from something of a moral dilemma.

Was in Lidl earlier picking up a roll for my lunch tomorrow, when I spotted a fella flagrantly stuff a bottle of spirits up his jacket, skip along the side of a busy queue at the till, and slip out the door undetected. Now I assumed the alarm would sound, but it didn't and none of the staff were aware of what happened as they were swamped by the evening rush.

Didn't want to cause a scene either as it's none of my business and I'm not one for vigilante justice, but it has been playing on my mind ever since that I should have at least reported it, or popped into the garda station on the way passed. I recognised someone outside waiting for the thief as a known junkie in town, but wouldn't be confident of identifying the culprit.

TA: beating myself up over something beyond my control.

Worse still is ordering a gin and tonic and being handed a ridiculous stemmed glass with have a garden allotment of stuff floating in it. Why is it so hard to just serve it in a tumbler with a slice of lemon, lime for preference?

It could have been worse, last year I held a door open for a lad who had a case of beer in his arms. He politely thanked me, before I noticed the security guard legging it towards the door. The shop got the beer back, but yer man got away

You could go back and tell the manager. They might be able to look at CCTV and see who it is. The most they will probably do is bar them from the shop.

For someone who is obsessed about another user's posting style, you should be able to post better than that.

There is no need to resort to that level either.

The legs of my pyjamas are a bit long and wide, so when I’m legging it up the stairs I often fall on my face.

99% of the time I serve a G&T in a tumbler glass I’m asked “oh, have you none of the fancy glasses?”

TA’d at that actually now that I think of it. Who cares what kind of glass it’s in?

My entire mouth is still aching from the dentist yesterday. On the plus side my teeth are lovely and shiny now. I don't know if it's worth the pain though.

Businesses that had great customer service during the downturn who have crap service now that they're booming. Looking at you, car dealerships.

Had to sit in a completely different area of the canteen this morning because there was a woman ploughing noisily into her breakfast near where I normally sit. The noises were vile, worse than pigs!

Washing my hands after going to the toilet in many restaurants. The water is usually ice cold (why is hot water still such a luxury in Ireland these days???) and the hand dryers don't work at all or stop every few seconds. So lovely to walk around with freezing wet hands in February!

A toilet I regularly use has separate hot and cold taps from back in the day. Cold as Jean Claude Van Damme's nipples from the Coors ad off one and Satan's scalding hot piss from the other. Good luck and have fun.

Ta my fixated brain feeding my inner teenage girl.

Mr he who gives me butterflies and I have finished out mutual project, as I sent back my final amendments I asked if he wanted to hear any feedback to the presentation once it was finished?
He responded 'let me know how you get on'

A common phrase ,but strange use from him, but my brain is fixated on how it seems personal.

I like it in a tumbler, at home I'll always put it in a tumbler but I have actually seen someone order it in a bar and when it was brought in a normal glass say that they didn't want it because they wanted a stemmed glass and they'd run out of them. A good gin doesn't need anything but a decent tonic and a wedge of citrus fruit, all the other nonsense that's served with it just kills the flavour of the gin imho.

Gamer Bhoy 89

Sitting having my lunch in a chipper/restaurant and I've spotted a child watching me while I eat. How about you learn manners? It's rude to stare.

I figured if I catch his eye he might get a red neck and stop looking...... nope. Eyes are gawked onto me. Parent doesn't give a shíte.

I hate people watching me when I'm eating, working or having a coffee. It happens a lot.

Maybe I look funny.

Eflow threatening legal action for 4.90 arrears. Are they having a f*cking laugh. An old tag on an old car I no longer drive. It's just so daft to threaten legal action (which would cost hundreds) for such an amount

A quick call to them to pay over the phone and undertake to return said feckin tag sorted it. Why didnt they pick up the phone instead of jumping straight on the legal bandwagon...

"Oh, your procedure didn't work!"
"How is that possible? Did you follow my instructions?"
"Of course we did, to the letter... except for this bit, and that part, and this thing here, and this looked like too much effort, and this 'cause we've never done it before and the other bit that we've always done differently... but we did follow your instructions, to the letter!"
