    Being questioned by esteemed members of the Gardaí on way home from pub. "Where are you going". "Home, as it happens. Do you want ID to verify that". "Go on your way". "Why, thank you". Go out and catch the real criminals you lazy scrotes.

    Define a "real criminal"?

    Co worker who literally never stops talking. It is actually affecting my productivity at this stage. Come in early to get a head start on work, co-worker thinks this is a bonus hour to chat even more before the boss gets here. Shut up! :mad:

    That and every so often there is a video or photo that I "have to see" so I am told "come over here and look at this" which I ignore. Then thirty seconds later, "are you coming over to look at this?". F*ck off Dorris, I am not coming over to look at whatever silly meme you want to show me.

    There's also a running commentary on everything she does.

    I really think so many people have lost the art of being in comfortable silence. They cannot go more than 2 minutes without interrupting the peace.

    Finally someone seen him , sitting on the other side of the room. Hence, I could overhear them .she looked petrified . If only he had sneezed !!

    Why so?


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    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.

    Not many...It's a south county Dublin thing.
    I'm in Clare not far from Limerick and I am used to their accents but it's certainly a strong one! I have heard there are 7 variations of Limerick accent.

    Doctors, specialists and health workers offices with the waiting area outside where the people waiting can clearly hear the private conversations through the door.


    When I went to a chiropractor for the first time I was treated to the sounds of an old woman screaming and howling like a banshee for about ten minutes while I sat in the waiting room :eek:. The stone-faced receptionist typed away pretending not to hear a thing. I was on the verge of doing a runner and calling the guards to report a murder.

    Our neighbour is like that. Bin overflowing and lid cannot shut properly.



    What really pisses me off is that most of it can go in the recycling bin but they don't bother. Paper, cardboard etc just sticking out.

    Badly designed or just too small banks, post offices, public offices etc where the queues or seats are close enough to the counter that everyone can listen in on your business.

    Then if they have the glass divider with the tiny gap, you have to shout anyway because the member of staff can never blooming hear you.:mad:

    Drivers not turning on their lights in the fog. While new cars may turn on low beams at the front, the rear lights do not come on automatically. It was like Cars in the Mist this morning.

    Try to drive on a clear night then and you're blinded by all the front fog lights.

    Are you a worm or so you drive a very very very low vehicle? How can lights down that low "blind" you.
    Fog lights don't dazzle people anymore, but they do allow people give out about them claiming they couldn't see due to them

    I bashed the top of my head on the underneath of a church altar last week. I just tied my hair up and the pulling on the roots hurt the bashed area. I touched it and it feels weird.

    In lidl earlier, the woman behind me started to put her shopping on the conveyor belt before I got all mine out....I had one item out...... Mrs if you don't leave me enough room to get everything on the belt I will take every item out of my bag and hand it to the cashier really really slowly....

    I obviously didn't say that.

    I would have told you to hurry the phuck up. People have things to be doing other than watching you take your time at the check out, get on with it, enough of your faffing around please.:P

    The reason she got to the conveyor belt before me is because there was items stuck at the end, which I thought belonged to the woman in front as she had a trolley load of items. I was going to put them on if they were hers, before I started loading mine. She didn't hear my question so I walked down to register and repeated it.

    In the meantime the woman behind me was firing all her shopping onto the belt.

    I was able to stack all my shopping in the little bit of space she had left, I don't do a weekly shop in lidl. Everything was on the conveyor belt before the lady in front paid, so I delayed no one.

    The lady behind was being cheeky I suspect hoping I'd tell her to go before me, as I wouldn't be able to get my shopping on the belt... Yeah not going to happen.

    The length of this post is now another trivial annoyance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,997 ✭✭✭Princess Calla


    well obviously you didnt say that but did you do it?

    No, I could stack it all in the little bit of space I was left., see above post :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,845 ✭✭✭Antares35


    Queuing in the shop at lunch time and a happy f*cker behind me kept whistling inane tunes into my f*cking ear. I tried moving away from him but he kept moving closer. Zero sense of personal space.

    TA whistlers.

    TA people who stand too close behind in queues.

    Another Aldi/ Lidl one, when there is a long queue for one cashier and they announce that a second till is opening. Everyone will run over to the newly opened one and just form a long queue there instead. I generally just stay put and that queue ends up the shorter one anyway. Some people just treat it like an Olympic sport :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    Ta, my facebook feed is awful...there's barely an interesting or funny post once a month. Believe it or not FB can be really amusing...mine used to be. The good ones mostly stopped using it when the memes took over.

    I’ve had it up to here!! (I know you can’t see but I’m pointing to the top of my head)
    I’ve just been stuck in a long line of traffic, maybe 20 cars long, all following one car who decided they were going to drive no faster than 65kph on a 100kph road.
    Nobody could get past, nobody could drive at any other speed other than what the car in front was dictating to the people behind.
    What the hell is wrong with these people, for gods sake if you can’t drive at a decent speed then either pull over and let us busy people get past or get off the road.
    Selfish bleep heads, the whole lot of ya.

    Was at the shop short time ago.
    Car parked up outside door, two very small kids and a baby in a car seat inside.
    Mam was inside in shop gassing to people and one child was hopping in and out of the driver seat.
    Then the 2 older children (no more than 5 years old) arrive into the shop looking for her.
    The shop is right on top of a busy main road and it was pitch dark.
    Sick stuff.
