    I think this may be the most trivial of all the TAs I've ever seen :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,204 ✭✭✭Kitty6277


    How someone can say and act like they love you, and yet turn around and treat you like shít behind your back. A bit more than a TA, but yeah.

    When you’re going to bed and one falls out of your pocket onto the hollow floor. Rolls around for what seems like an eternity and then agonisingly does a couple of pirouettes, waking up the whole house in the process

    Some people are so disgusting. :mad:
    It's plain as day that people are just dumping stuff at the recycling banks at a local shopping centre.

    This morning there's a heap of black bags there and crows have them ripped apart and are partying. Ugh.
    Council will clear it up, and the dumpers will be back again with more. :mad:

    DIY

    Estimated time - 30 mins
    Actual time - 4 f$%#@n hours.

    I would pay someone to do it only the going rate seems to be hundreds of euro an hour now.

    Weekend ruined

    People who say things like, "I'd never trust someone who doesn't like dogs."

    So, the dog is your favourite animal and your choice of pet. Okay.

    But imagine if people went around not trusting people who don't like chinchillas or parrots??

    I like dogs, btw, and cats.

    On a similar note, I regularly bring the bottles to the bottle bank in large quantities. After a BBQ or whatever it's easier to just throw them back into the box they came out of, instead of the plastic one I have for pasta sauce jars etc. TA that there is never anywhere to recycle the cardboard boxes at the bottle banks. I s'pose the real TA is that people cannot be trusted enough not to fill a cardboard recycling station with nappies and other household rubbish, so the council don't provide one.

    I don't trust people who aren't interested in football or drinking. Something a bit off about them :D

    Absolutely.

    What was dumped there this morning was obviously household rubbish. And the crows were certainly enjoying it. :(

    This shopping centre got rid of clothes recycling banks presumably to try to lessen the dumping because there were often bags of clothes pulled open and thrown about.
    I have seen the council regularly do a clean up, and the next day it can be as bad as ever again.
    Ugh.

    I got everything ready today to paint the kitchen. I went up the ladder and the legs turned to jelly. Time to call in a professional painter, and learn to age gracefully.

    I'm the same, have never had a problem with heights, but ladders now bring me to a blind panic. Even a step or two up. And this is from someone who once stood on the top step, with nothing to hold on to, and reached up to change lighting in a restaurant I worked in


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,709 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    I bought a shed a while ago but didn't get a chance to assemble it until today (usually because of the weather). There's a good bit of tedious work in it (including about 200 screws!) but I was eventually putting a bit of shape to it when my neighbour decided to come see what I was at, pretending that he had to paint the wall between out backgardens, 3 metres from where I was working. :mad:

    He's a head-wrecker! This is the man who, when he heard anyone outside talking or getting out of a car, would open the front door to let his yappy dog out and immediately call the dog in, as if it wasn't him who had just released him, all the while having a nose at whoever was outside.

    Have a mini skip out the front to declutter abit. Now I am quite happy for anyone to have a rummage or take whatever they want but one arse decides to dig something out and then leaves all the items he moved beside the skip for me to pick up.

    Now, wouldn't it be a nice neighbourly gesture if you were to invite the neighbours to use the skip as well to do their own decluttering?:D:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 250 ✭✭MastiffMrs


    TA at people wearing backpacks on the train, for the entire journey. They are the people who have no idea about space and bang into everybody while totally oblivious to others pain. Why would they not just take them off as soon as they're on public transport?! So rude.

    I wish! I actually don't mind Lyons. It was Twinings, but it tasted like the dregs of last month's tea (well, what I assume they'd taste like...).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,975 ✭✭✭✭Mam of 4


    TA at liars , who embellish the truth . We all know the type , Have a cold ? No , it's the flu , have the flu , it's pneumonia , so sick blah blah . Feck off , suck it up and get on with it .

    And breathe :D

    On the subject of ignorant people in queue at Aldi...
    TA at people who don't wait for the person in front of them to finish unloading their trolley onto the belt before they start loading their stuff on. Happened to me twice in the last month and I found it so stupid!
    Making me pile my stuff on top of each other while they still had to wait anyway. Makes no sense.

    Michael D. And I doubt I am the only one he annoys. This week the little fellow is in Germany pontificating against austerity and rehashing the sort of stuff Yanis Faroufakis goes on about.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,709 ✭✭✭Feisar


    Not something that annoys me but something I don't like is a black tie wedding dress code.
    Mainly because I think it looks like a debs!

    Annoys me as black tie is evening wear.

    First they came for the socialists...

    Just ate my body weight in basil & Parmesan flavored hummus and crackers and I’m genuinely struggling to breathe, I feel so full.

    Tomorrow I’ll be moaning that my jeans are still tight and then I’ll go home and do the same thing again. TA at my inability to resist delicious savory snacks.

    Or the people with 2 items that hold on to them for dear life.When my stuff moves up to be next,they nearly have a heart attack to give them to the person on the checkout.Put the divider down and put them on the belt.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,536 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    People who start IM conversations with hello. A strange TA you might think. But not so strange when you have to wait 5 minutes for them to then fingerpeck the question they actually want to ask. Just ask the question straight off

    I was behind someone doing that recently in Aldi. He clutched the stuff in his arms instead of putting it on the belt. It puzzled me, tbh. :D

    Why is it that hair still on the head is perfectly fine and we can touch it and comb it . But as soon as it leaves the head and long black hairs appear on the floor we are disgusted by the very sight of one strand .Two seconds ago it was still on a head and was grand .

    I love stroking Mrs Ragnar's hair. It's very long and silky. But I'd get the gawks if I found one in my food.

    I would swear on my life that I put a pair of socks in the wash but only one came out. I went back to the machine and felt all around the inside of the drum and shrieked because I felt something squishy. I'd forgotten I'd put in the washing capsule for the next wash :)
