Changed queue in Super Valu earlier - always backfires. Got stuck behind a woman who spent a few minutes searching app for voucher points (without success) and then couldn't remember PIN on two cards before paying with cash. The cashier beside me got through five people during the same time I was waiting.

Nothing more annoying.....well actually,as annoying as the people who load up their stuff on to the LiDL trolley belt,are still loading when the cashier starts putting their stuff through the register,and don’t have the niceness (or whatever the word is) to let me(with my three small items) to go ahead of them :mad:

My team is having an SD get together lunch, Mr 'take me as I am, if you have a problem with me, get over it' has walked out bc our hard of hearing colleague is talking/laughing too loudly and is embarrassing him.

TA shes upset and he'll be doing the rounds complaining to others about her.

I got superglue on my fingers when I was fixing something earlier, and now I have to enter the pin to use my phone as it doesn't recognise my fingerprint.

Nevin Maguire again!
He seems incapable of pronouncing anything with a “T” towards the end of the word. The other night he was making some sort of noodle dish which he tried to describe as a broth, but said it with a very soft T, most annoying. Nevin, you’re on Telly, put your phone voice on ffs.

I rarely go into shops.

Is there some event on Friday that make post offices busier than normal? Will try again in the morning but 3 attempt to buy a stamp tells me all I need to know as to why An Post will not be surviving in the long term

In a pub with lax enough rules regarding the need to have food with your pint. Ordered a pizza anyway as I was hungry. GF said she was fine and didn't want anything.

Yet she ate 6/10s of the damn thing. Raging.

Yeah, that’s fine for the “parents only” ones but I’m in a pre-school one where the teachers send photos and important information.

I’ll never understand the need for some to reply to a questions of ‘who’s is this?’ with ‘that’s not little Johnny’s’. There’s no need to reply if the item doesn’t belong to your kid.

Then you get the thumbs up, hearts, smiley face emojis along with inane statements of “hilarity”.

I'm TA'd that more organisations don't use WhatsApp Broadcast rather than Groups. Broadcast prevents getting all the random responses that are generated in Groups.

One of the other kids had a setup like that, they’d open it up for “responses” when they were required.

Managed to avoid the school groups up until this week. Had to “give in” due to one of the parents arranging a present for the teacher. Would have felt a bit bad dodging that.

The Crazy Cat Lady

a service for people with ASD/autism/Asperger's (not naming them), that frequently changes their client's appointment days/times a lot and with short notice. As many people know people on the spectrum hate change and can get upset about it!

I have a friend on Facebook (who's also a client of them), who has had her day changed 3 times, she's doesn't know if she's coming or going so I told her to contact her keyworker on Monday.

The way Irish women pronounce data as "dada" in American accents in multiple radio and TV commercials airing at the moment.

Also, an unintentionally funny moment in the recent Famine doc on RTE where a teenage Irish girl speaks Irish in an American accent had me raising my eyebrows.

When Sunshine FM are playing their sport section there's a recorded introduction from some wan and she says "spaut" - like a stupid fake English accent and the R has just vanished. Why?

Also, the phrase "played a blinder" in particular in an office or other sedentary setting that doesn't involve sports!

People who, when they are shocked by something, instead of being shocked or saying something like "gosh that's shocking" say, "I... Just... can't", or when something is really cute they "cant cope with" the cuteness.

Then the old reliable misuse of the word "literally" - "I literally died laughing" - when it is, literally the only word we have to actually tell us that you are being literal, and that what you are recounting actually took place.

Maybe it's a regional thing where I live but the amount of times I hear people saying see you later pronounced "see you lay-der" is driving me nuts.

American accent has been seeping in here for a good two decades I think. It's rife among the young, especially the ones from more affluent backgrounds.

I find myself removing batteries from any of my kid's toys that have recorded tunes, voices etc because without a doubt they will be some hybrid Chinese/ American accent.

The lowest point was when her keyboard belted out "maybe you, could be-ee a purple monkey in a bubblegum tree-ee" - just don't want her listening to that shíte.

Funnily enough, if that's the same thing I'm thinking of, it's used in a lot of radio stations abroad, too, but not for the sport section, it's used to indicate the start of the ads (spot). Who knows what it was originally supposed to be user for...
