The feeling you've made a terrible mistake and it'll haunt you forever. When you'd give your left arm for another chance.
And when people don't bother to turn up on time to remove their laundry from the outdoor giant washing machine & dryer in the petrol station forecourt. It's
bad enough waiting 45 minutes for my own laundry without waiting 20 just for the machine to be emptied.
Also TA my own washing machine died a second time and I use 12kg machines for work so it has to wait a week or two until I get paid for orders I've made people seem to derive some sense of extra value for money by witholding payment for a while.

I think if everyone was brutally honest, you'd find we all have at least one of those to carry around.

I have an absolutely monumental one I've had for several years and there's is absolutely no hope of second chances or redemption. If I can be so bold to impart a nugget of hard won wisdom, what I took from it is to make sure if you're gonna have a regret it's for something you have done rather than something you didn't do. And bugger what people think of you .

Good advice. It's hard and I hope you feel some peace about it nowadays, or will soon.It is my one and only regret! My only hope is reincarnation, lol.

I think Oscar Wilde had famous quote along the same lines

Definitely. You can't get away from it now.

TA when you are waiting for an important message and your phone vibrates... and it's a facebook notification telling you it is the birthday/ 1 year "friendversary" with someone you don't care about and didn't even realise you were "friends" with. Note to self, carry out purge to get rid of all those lurkers who remain friends but never interact with you! Or just get rid of the whole thing

You’ll find my granny was saying that decades before he was even born! Also Nick Cave had it in one of his darker songs a few decades back... complete with epic bell ringing tomes in the background..

Generally an excellent rule to live by, Beer, but when it's 3am and you've got a UTI and things are rather urgent and usually no one else uses that particular pot but yourself, these things can happen. ..

I like your suggestion but can no longer have baths because they give me - a UTI. That's a major TA.

I suppose I could be like the French Revolutionary, Marat, and spend all my time in my bath drawing get up lists of people I don't agree with for an appointment with Madame Guillotine, or in my case, the report button.

what a dose!

My other half has suffered a lot over the years. I (kindof) understand.
The warm bath was once resorted to - she got a couple of hours sleep;)

Ta, that people who are not me and only have a vague idea of my schedule( as in if I'm home I'm not working, which isn't true a lot of the time) who schedule appointments and tell ppl to call in or ring me there.

Means that I can't order my work day the way I want and inevitably, this impacts more harshly on me than them!

And young ones talking in American accents - that's been going on for decades as well.

I would beg to differ. decades ago you would have the had slapped off you ( By your friends) for some put on American accent.

People who alter the spelling of well established christian names eg Karen to Caron, Karron etc. I really don't get why they do this or why it's necessary.

I am one of those people! With the American accent. Have had it for decades. Nobody has ever slapped anything off me for it.

I am not American. Never lived in America. Did move from place to place a bit as a child so maybe I never got a chance to form a regional accent. Maybe even American tv was my only constant.

Or maybe it's because I did elocution lessons as a child and that sort of knocked a 'normal' accent out of me. I'm not sure really. Of course to an American and indeed to myself I don't sound remotely american, I just don't always sound completely Irish.

Three types of people mention my way of speaking to me:

1.People whose first language is not English. They've said I'm easier to understand than most other people they meet.

2.Elderly or other hard of hearing people who have said I enunciate better.

And of course..
3. Other Irish people, just here and there, who in an accusatory fashion point out my 'american accent' and try to embarrass me.

Fortunately I'm long past being embarrassed about it. I would like to know what other people hear though. If I record myself I think I sound like a big bogger but hey others say different.

Are your parents American? Was the elocution teacher American? Or were you reared in a country like Holland, where a lot of people speak English with an American accent?

If none of the above applies, then strange to have an American accent...that doesn’t sound American to an American...remotely.

I myself, would have been reared on American and UK TV programs, but I do
Not have the slightest US or UK accent.

My TA is listening to people on TV fawning over the Royals, some are only short
Of touching a forelock.

Yep sure is strange. I can't fathom it myself but lots and lots of people have said it to me and nobody has said it kindly. As I say I don't get embarrassed. I can sometimes feel bad if I think maybe its irritating for people or people might just not like me because of it.

I thought I had moved past it as I hadn't had it in a long time but it was said to me recently

My sister's gets it from people too. She gets mortified though.

When it gets close enough to the end of the day that you feel its pointless starting a new task. But its also not close enough to the end that you can pack up and leave.

I use that time to go to the tea room and rinse my coffee cup very slowly, put my phone etc. in my handbag and clear my desk ,then clock watch impatiently.

Just curious, but do a lot of folks here in certain areas really speak with an American accent? I haven't come across it in in all my years in Limerick, I usually need an interpretor,heh.Just curious is it more the East than the West that adopts that linguistics.
