So what karma caused the ebola virus, hiv, small pox, etc

There's a case of rubella in Cork at the moment, that could have serious consequences what's the karma there??

Karma doesn't exist. It's make believe.

I'm not awash with expensive jewellery. That was the most expensive. It waschosen for me instead of an engagement ring, because I don't like to wear rings. I wouldn't have spent that much.

It's not that I wasn't taking care of it. Clasps come undone by themselves, on my jewellery. Seriously.

How much was that necklace worth??

Not quite.

But yes I have lost several pieces of jewellery and left behind various items at friends houses even after scanning the room as I pack.

Ive had plenty of stress to blame it on...

TA when someones whole identity is about their past.
So who and what are you now?
Just a frizen in time broody whinger with no interests apart from raking over your really quite average boring life.

Gamer Bhoy 89

TA at attempted hacks of my online accounts.

I wish there was a way I could track trace and easily find individuals who try to hack into my email or any account in general, forcing me to change my password each time.

Every time I receive a notification about it, I always imagine finding the prick and beating the ever living hell out of them for thinking they just get to go into my emails without my permission and have a great craic while they're at it.

I cannot stand clowns like this. Who the hell are you like?? Mind your own fúcking business and get a job ya robbin wee bawbag.....

JanaMay

TA at parents who send their kids to school sick. Even more TA (less T and more A) with the lack of entitlements for parents who have to work when their kids are sick. One sick child can and probably will infect a whole class: 20 - 25 children, their siblings, teachers and parents. One of the mothers in my child's class is undergoing chemo and a virus could be fatal for her.

(Don't start with the parent bashing, yeah yeah no one forced us to have children etc etc)

That fcucking monstrosity ? ( I can't think of the word) of a programme, There's no place like Tyrone, is back on . BBC 2 nNI. Holy fcuk it's either total cringe or a brilliant (?) comedy.
It is a ''constructed reality program'

A co-worker who goes on and on (and on) about random documentaries he had seen. Not interested.

Purple Mountain

The self flagellating types who go on and on about what they are giving up for Lent and how they will stick to it religiously for the 40 days of depravation.
I just say openly 'I've never given anything up, nor do I intend to' while gorging on some high calorie sugar laden goodie.

Noise from next door neighbours, loud music all day every day, tv blaring night after night. My husband goes to bed at 10, has to be up at 5am for work, and their tv is so loud I can't hear ours. They don't get up until 11am, none of them work.

We've sought advice, but basically been told 'nothing can be done'
I'm on the verge of cracking up now. :mad:

I believe HIV originated from the butchering etc..of monkeys for their meat? Though I could be wrong.

I don't believe in karma but I like the concept.

Oh get a grip. Lets talk about Ebola, the people in the countries affected by it refused to be vaccinated because they believe that it's not real and only a lie made up by NGO's so they are a big part of the problem. HIV, came about as a result of unprotected sex, it wasn't foreseen and I think very few people would ever say that it was karma.
The modern day problem with HIV/AIDS is in African countries where little girls are still cut and married off to infected men much older than them and who have babies year after year after year. The men refuse to wear condoms so the women and babies are infected and die.

We have gay men coming to Ireland from as far away as Brazil and being given Prep which costs a fortune while kids with twisted spines wait years for spinal surgery. As for the Rubella, possibly a result of anti vax nonsense or someone from a backward country that doesn't do vaccinations, there's been a lot of diseases that were either eradicated here many decades ago or which never existed here until the floodgates of illegal migrants started arriving from Africa and the Middle East, honestly some of you have a serious detachment from reality.

Dog owners!

20 minute walk with the toddler.

10 different turds on the footpath we had to avoid... And the subsequent mess caused by someone walking through said turd.

Get to the shop and a dog is tied to the railings of the only path. The lead is long enough for the dog to cover the entire distance of the path.... Just because he's your furbaby doesn't mean everyone likes an unknown dog coming near them with no owner in sight to command them away.

The phrase "keeping my options open" translates to "Im greedy and have grass is always greener syndrome, a childish fantasist and dreamer"
Theyll sit and moan and dream and never have anything good for long because they always lose it due to always wanting something else.

People that rob stuff that is lying around in public places annoy me. Especially the trivial stuff. Example my swimming hat and googles were left behind on a bench in public swimming pool. They vanished!
So give that biro back if you took it. It is not yours to take!

Compulsive stealing. Kleptomaniacs. It's quite common.

People who claim they have "no filter". Just shut up, if you've nothing good to say about someone or something, just keep your mouth shut.
"Oh I just say it as I see". Yeah, we all know that. Opinion on everything.

At least they are honest, would much rather that then fake pálmás which is meaningless. People with 'no filter' as you describe might not necessarily only say negative things either it can be a mixed bag. It is just you remember the negative comments more, as they stand out in a world that is afraid to offend.

TA'ed that your husband has to get up for work at 5 am in order to pay for the bums next door to live a work-free life.
And more TA'ed that there is no recourse for the contributors in our society in situations like this.

In every webpage I open I get an Alibaba ad for a "female genital model".
Basically a model of a woman's midriff.
I'd prefer it that didn't appear on my screen at work.

The perils of simply trying to enjoy tea and toast.

First, actually making the tea and toast. No matter what time you use the work kitchen, someone will appear - "oh that smells delicious" / "Oh I would love to but I am trying to be good" etc. It's bread - have a feckin slice if you want one that badly. Then the merry dance of trying to pour the tea, access the fridge to take the butter out, take a plate from the press etc. while there is someone standing in your way and all the while you need to make small talk.

Finally get to bring said tea and toast to desk and someone else proceeds to talk at me for 10 minutes about non work stuff while it all goes cold.

God I really wish people would practice silence a bit more.

:(:(

At last. I have a TA.

Me feet are freezing!

People who arrange meetings just to validate their own existence. Feckin meeting after meeting talking about things and assigning actions and monitoring progress etc. instead of just doing the work.

People calling a meeting to discuss "X, Y and Z" but won't actually specify what they want to discuss. It is usually just a chance for them to flex their muscles.

It's the start of Lent, I'm in no way religious but the Irish Independent have a story about fasting and Lent and are using a photo of a Muslim woman in a hijab to sideline it to Ramadan. Firstly, Lent is an optional thing that most Christians don't do any more and secondly Ramadan is not optional Muslims have no choice in doing it.

Pulling in to the side of the road to let people easily pass on narrow roads - when they don't acknowledge the act I feel like ripping their teeth out with a shovel
Same as obviously holding a door open for somebody and no thank you.

Sounds like you need to work in a cave (with tea and roast making facilities) or get a new job.

People trying to politicise everything.

I read the papers too thank you.

Just opened the press to be assaulted by falling cups and mugs because some lazy eejit played jenga with the crockery rather than putting it away properly.

This cracked my favourite mug - 15 years I've had that mug; it faithfully conveyed literally thousands of litres of tea to my lips over those years.

Uni are suspending my IT/Email privileges until I return and pay next september, all good not expecting something for nothing. There are emails I want to keep from that email and my usual way of moving things like this doesn't work(commands aren't there)

So I email x dept where the message came from, they refer me to y dept, they send me an auto message and a few days after, tell me that they have closed the query. NOT that they have told me how to do what I asked.

Yesterday I resubmit the questions, and I get a response that basically says, 'you've not paid your fee's and that's why', my response to this email was bounced back to me!

So many ta's about this.

I worked in a place where constantly did that.
They had meetings about when to hold the next meeting.
They were experts at making things sound important.
One fella clearly used to get a kick out of them, 'that was enjoyable meeting' etc.
Very little actual work was done in the place.

I bought myself a new year's present on amazon, it wasnt right and I, after a lot of running around from the seller, returned it to the address supplied.

I messaged them to say I had sent it and expected my refund to cycle through in 10 working days, when it didnt I messaged them to ask what the issue was.

They want me to send proof of delivery! and are saying the proof of postage isn't good enough, and on and on for over a month.

Having been asked again for the proof of delivery I wrote this info on their review and got a demand from the company to remove the review(even if I would, I can't find it on the review page) and then a lot of poor me and they were only asking for proof of delivery.

Of course they say the parcel has not arrived to their eu address.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO annoying and I have no idea what else to do, but now they've made me dig my heels in!!!!!!
