Bank machines, why are you giving me the option to take 70 out if you don't have any 20 notes. When the machine is out of 20s that option should disappear from the screen.

Feeling migrainey today, uggggghhhhh:(

TA at getting excited when I see a TV series has been made of a book I really enjoyed (NOS4A2, Joe Hill) and getting bored on episode 2. Sometimes stories are best left at the book.

Oh no I loved that book. Didn't realise they were making a show of it. Thats disappointing.

Not a small TA at all for today. **** Cancer. She was only 33.

I had the full house of TAs yesterday in a local Costa:-

1. Walked up the counter and BANG..."What can I get you?". Jesus Christ I am literally still walking up the counter. Give me a ****ing chance.

2. Ordered a Cheese Toastie. Why oh why do you insist on putting the paper napkin on the plate first and then putting the toastie (or cake) on the napkin. It is now ruined with juice/grease.

3. Elderly lady behind blabbering away on her mobile making calls. She made at least 3 different phone call to various medical centers re her infirm aunt and then repeated it all back in another call to a friend/family member.

I can now tell you:-

a. Her full name
b. The name of her sick elderly aunt
c. All the medical conditions afflicting the said aunt
d. The name of the aunt's carer and doctor

Oh the lady is off to have a bunion removed over the coming days.

Sitting at your desk in work, call someone over to discuss something and they're pointing stuff out on your screen....except they're actually stabbing your screen and smudging it with their dirty, scabby fingers.

Had something similar in Brown Thomas recently. This wan came in and ordered a coffee and was specific in wanting a plain scone, when it arrived she decided that she wanted a fruit one instead, when that arrived she said she'd asked for it hot, she hadn't. Then she said she'd ordered coffee when she'd ordered tea. The poor waitress was running around like a blue arsed fly. The whole time she was on the phone to someone bitching about her ex boyfriend and about how at least now he's being honest with her about the breakup.
She was so rude to staff that when I was standing behind her waiting to pay, while she was still on her phone, I felt like saying to her that it's obvious that the reason he's broken up with her is because she's a cnut, he can't stand her his friends probably can't stand her etc etc and he's well rid of her. Hate people like that, they just enjoy treating hospitality staff like servants.

Yes, the book was great. I may give it another go and hope I was too hasty:)

TA, **** cancer too. Too many people have it. An old friend was buried last week, only in her 50s. 33 is way too young, sorry to hear that.

Yet again, TA at small, yapping rats of dogs that think they are Rottweilers. My dog plods along contentedly till a ratdog loose on the estate goes for her bald headed, chasing us down the road. This sets her off barking and my fingers were purple gripping her lead. Honest to God it would be like me trying to have a go at John Cena, I don't understand it!!

'so to start with BB, your age......IF you get your finals, you maybe too old to get the jobs you want in the field.'(how did he think that was going to end well?)

'So you should read this book, it will help you disclose at work' (current jobs knows, so he must mean the new job he says I'm not going to get cause I'm too old)

The randomness of An Post delivery notification texts. Got one yesterday telling me that something would be delivered the next working day, well it's the next working day and no delivery. Whenever I get a notification from them it's guesswork as to whether they mean the next day or the day after that. Sometimes they don't even bother with a text at all.

Running on footpaths against oncoming walkers walking a breast just refuse to go move single file to let people past- had a few times this week and it is always middle aged women blabbering away to each other totally unaware that other people might use the footpath.

Funnily enough teenagers are more than polite and go single file.

I once ate in a restaurant in Dollymount and as we were asking for the bill, one of the waitresses called to the table beside ours with the starters for two ladies seated there. The queen bee obviously hadn't realised that the Caesar salad came with paresan shavings on it, and made a big song and dance about how she couldn't eat cheese and they'd have to bring it back. Her friend told her to just eat around it, but she insisted she was "blacktose intolerant" and had to have a fresh one. Cheese was "simply a no no".

The waitress made zero attempt to hide the inner fury bubbling behind her eyes. She was fit to burst her. I remember thinking "it's fairly obvious your wan is making it up but you can't mess around with allergies and food requirements, just be a bit more professional about your obvious disgust".

We finished out coffee, paid up and as I walked out I said thanks to the waitress who was standing near the tills. It didn't even register with her. She was too busy throwing filthy looks at the queen bee on table 4, who'd just had her main course delivered and was tucking into her main course.

I thought it very unprofessional, until I looked over and saw she was slaughtering her first slice of pizza. So much for cheese being a 'no no'.

I once had that.
Two joggers running abreast on a small footpath in the rain with mad traffic in the road.

I slowed down and tried to shift sideways but no, yer man didn't deviate from his course.

He bounced off me.

Wanker. You get that at running events also- Joan and Mary set off jogging for charity in a zone which they are too slow for and running abreast blocking the entire path. TBH they are told pretty damn quick by other runners to get out of the way and the language will be colorful.

Dog walkers at night time can also be a nightmare. The thing is the dog may be 8-9 feet away from the owner on a leash but if it is dark you will not see the leash stretched across the path and about 18 inches off the ground- you can imagine how that will end running into that.

Cyclists on the footpath are another one. Last night turning down a side road on the footpath but with high bushes so no way of seeing around the corner a middle aged guy on a bicycle coming against me- no light, no helmet, no reflective gear whatsoever. It was just pure luck that we missed each other. If I was pushing a pram he had nowhere to go. At least I could bounce out of the way quickly.

At least wannabe Chris Froome Lycra Louts stick to the road.

It's almost always the same type. They'll order the cheapest things on the menu but run you around like a dog getting things for them. This wan didn't get off the phone while the waitress took her order or during any of the conversations where she kept getting her to go and change the things that she'd ordered. We were sitting right beside her and had no interest in her conversation anyway but had our meal having to put up with her nonsense. Silly cow. They usually never tip and then bitch about poor service. It was obvious she was only doing it to be annoying because she could get away with it.

Funnily enough a few months back my wife was driving and she insisted we go to McDonalds knowing full well I wouldn't dream of it. Rather than a 'Drive Thru' we actually went in and sat down. This was in a pretty 'urban' part of London. Please don't judge me.

Naturally it was full of hoards of teenagers with attitude and they were absolutely vile to the staff. In fact I have never seen or heard anything like it before. Calling them over saying that their 'McFlurry' etc was not cold enough or tasted weird. At least 2 girls (no more than 15-16) sent their food back laced with attitude demanding it to be recooked.

Then there was this couple with their 2 kids next to us and then they were clicking for the staff complaining about the food and sending stuff back.

I repeat- this was McDonalds the fast food joint.

I don't care how unPC this is but it's a fact that all the perpetrators above were black.

The staff who had to put with this was clearly a Muslim girl as she wore a head scarf. They were messing around knocking food on the ground and asking for someone to come over and sweep in up.

I bet she was thinking: "I am going to a doctor in a few years and all you losers will be either pushing a pram or in jail or dead."

Got the dog a new bowl and there’s a big sticker stuck right in the middle of it. Peeled it off but, of course, it didn’t come “clean”.

Just spent about 20 minutes scrubbing off the “peely” bits and gum.

I always keep poo bags in my car but got it serviced the other day and took everything out when I cleaned it beforehand. Was on my way to the beach with the dogs this evening when I realised I had none. I was going to turn back but then I remembered they have a dispenser of them at the beach. Was TA to discover they aren't biodegradable. That really irritates me. Anyway, it was so windy that a little while after I'd used one it blew out of my hand and I had to take off after it. Bad enough picking up sh!te but having to run around after a bag full of it is really humiliating!

Early morning Ryanair flight, they do the safety bit then tell you to sit back, relax and enjoy your flight. You close your eyes to get an hours sleep and immediately they start screaming at you to buy coffee, and perfume, and scratch cards, and sandwiches. It's also really nice that they seem to have fitted the cheapest speakers on earth on the plane so you cant actually make out much other than deafening static, high pitched noise and the words scratch cards.hey Ryanair, how's about you shut the f**k up for a while and let people sleep. Grrrrr.

Calling females in the acting business "actors".

I just find it weird. I don't see for example the French avoiding the use of feminine forms because of pc hangups, e.g. actrice, comédienne, serveuse.

Guaranteed when I mention my surgeon by surname, people assume my surgeon is male. Or any doctor, come to think of it.

Whiskey, the feminine forms also sound much nicer, I'm sure that sounds airheaded but it's true.

TA when you end up walking along someone who happens to walk at the same pace as yourself. Gets strange as it seems you are walking with a complete stranger. I either fall back to a slow pace or put on the afterburners to get back walking alone.
