    I was standing in the entrance to my apartment building's car park waiting for a plumber to arrive. I saw a car that was driving along the road slow down to a crawl so I moved out of the way assuming that the car wanted to enter the car park. But no, the driver just slowed down so he could pick up his phone and start to text. Looked like he was young enough to have only recently passed his test too. Idiot. Doesn't deserve to be allowed on the road.

    People getting scammed on FB and then complaining.I mean who hands over 800 euro to a stranger and expects them to get the toyOr they use Paypal and use friends and family.

    Like i do feel sorry for them,nobody deserves that but use a bit of common sense.

    People who don't quite finish the toilet roll before they start a new one.

    I got a phone call today from the one of the community nurses, on behalf of the Public Health Nurse. They are reaching out to see if we need anything. We have been on lockdown since March. It is now late November. And only now are they making contact to see how Dad is and how he's coping. Also, they have moved offices, changed phone number and we now have a new Public Health Nurse, since last year in fact. None if this was communicated to us. I'd have been out of luck if we needed them wouldn't I? TA the way older people and carer's are treated in this country by the very agencies charged with their care. To think there are older folk living alone and this is the kind if support they get.

    Cf also women who get one photograph from a Nigerian scammer and send fortunes.

    Elderly people alone scammed I have every sympathy for.

    Sad women my age desperate for any man’s attention that they’ll pony up thousands - not so much.

    ....or worse, they leave one square only, so they don't have to replace the roll.

    You would have to assume there is an extra layer of vulnerability there. Like a mental health issue or a low IQ. The people who scam know what to look for and how to milk it. Pure scum.

    Or even worse still, they replace the roll but have the paper spooling wall side in.

    I was going to say it's shocking but it's absolutely disgraceful. :mad:

    So, so, so much wrong with this post *shakes head sadly*

    I'm engaged in ongoing silent warfare with my housemate on this very matter. Every time either of us uses the bathroom, we change the way the roll hangs. I, obviously correct, hang it over; she, clearly working for the forces of chaos and evil, hangs it under.

    Can we just agree that making a point in it like they do it hotels is just wrong ??!!

    she is most definitely a witch and should be treated accordingly.

    You know not how wrong you are.

    El Cheapo industrial bog roll... When it's just loaded (full roll) it's a job to get a 'one handed bit of purchase' on the bloody thing; let alone to be able to pull a few sheets out without the one ply rubbish breaking off :mad:

    One handed because; if one were to try to use both while still 'seated' to better grasp a few sheets ; well, the shifting of the body position with that approach does tend to lend certain areas coming into 'commodial contact' :(

    Hotels put the pointy bit on the loo roll to signify that it’s a fresh roll installed by housekeeping, and no one has used the toilet since they’ve been in.

    My bag of sweet potatoes, small banana sized potatoes or small turnip sized ones in it.
    My baked beans and pouched eggs aren't the same with a potato that small.


    The underlayer of scallon and salad cream taste yummy on it still.

    Zero problem with people announcing their new arrivals on Facebook, sure we all do it. But lately I've noticed the thinly veiled "I'm already such a good mother" brags creeping in. For example, "such and such born at 8am, 8lbs, gas and air only" - what? Why is it relevant that you had gas and air only? Your kid is like an hour old and you're already trying to trump other mother's who used an epidural? Would you ever GTF, I don't brag on social media about getting a filling without anaesthetic. Don't be a hero, medicine is there for a reason. Or do be a hero but stop the incessant competition with other parents.

    Don't even get me started on "exclusively breast fed".

    Mine is "fed", or on a bad day "alive and accounted for" :D

    Probably the same ones make a cup of tea and leave a drop of milk in the carton and put it back in the fridge.

    People with christmas trees up already. i saw two on my walk to the shops

    when you're in a argument with someone, making your points to them and all you get is ''yeah but...yeah but...i understand where you're coming from, but'' and it becomes a thing where they're not really understanding where you're coming from at all, they're not even listening, just waiting for their turn to speak and ''win'' the argument.

    theres a game of thrones quote that goes ''Everything before the word 'but' is horse shiit'' and it shows.
