    A small retail outlet that I've taken to buying the odd thing in. There's a very friendly young woman working there.
    Her line with customers (well, me, anyway) is, "are you up to much today?"

    I absolutely hate being asked this. I know she's just being friendly and probably doesn't even require an answer but some day I'm afraid I'll blurt out that it's none of her business what I'm doing with my day!
    I usually mumble," not much " or something but that feels slightly rude.

    I really hate it.
    There's a fella like that in an Indian takeaway I go to sometimes. "Working away ?" etc any time i go in , even i have never spoken to him on to give him my order.

    Dropping a blueberry this morning which hits off my leg and disappears into another dimension. I'm 100% sure it will magically materialise later on for me to step on it.


    I just had to move my fridge and found a blueberry under it, so clearly there is a portal between your kitchen and under my fridge.


    Next time kindly drop money instead of soft fruit.

    I really hate this too and im not even sure why. I don't know if its the futility the question, the forced need to then answer when I dont feel like it or just the sheer nosiness or over familiarity.
    TA I'm irritated by your TA as if your shopkeeper had asked me :p

    There's a Chinese market near me and the woman always said, "you're busy?" to me whenever I shopped . Turned out after a few years of this that she thought I was running a restaurant!

    I think my sugar hangover might be worse than my whiskey hangover. I'm so old.

    My taxi driver decided to try and skip the long queue of traffic by going down the wrong side of the road only to be met with an oncoming car and having to reverse all the way back again. People were justifiably beeping and giving dirty looks. What an total clown! I didn't even say I was in a hurry and the meter was running, so just sit back and earn the fare ffs.

    What the hell is going on in Salthill, Galway today, is it Boy Racers Day or something, the sound of engines roaring all around the place.

    That so many people seem to think that wealth protects you from depression and mental illness.

    But wait, they can use money for goods and services, including health services, they dont have to wait in line like Joe Schmoe.

    Money takes the sting out of being poor.

    "Always up to 60% off"

    - you mean always at least 0% off?

    Whatever sadistic bastard decided that a metal tube was the best way to convey tomato paste. You can never get all the paste out of the tube and it feels like such a waste. You can also cut your finger on the damn metal trying to squeeze out the last dregs.

    Information leaflets in antibiotics boxes. I don't know why I read the bloody thing. Now I'm convinced I'm going to get pericarditis or have a heart attack or something!

    My child has started to talk with an American accent and saying stuff like "oh my gawd, I did not know that"

    yeah... it doesn't protect one from becoming mentally unwell.. but its definitely helps if unwell.. the public mental health care system is dire... at least if you have money you can pay to go private (therapy, private in patient care etc)..

    I've run out of bookshelf space again. I literally have nowhere else in my sitting room to put more shelves. Going to have to start colonising the rest of the house.

    Does she watch Fair City by any chance...if so, I’d blame it
    On that young one....the wannabe influencer. I don’t know if she puts it on
    For the part or if she really speaks like that, but Christ it’s very grating on the
    Ears.

    House is so quiet now that life is back to normalish, for my stress levels I need to avoid the news.
    TA I can't find a middle of the road radio station that isn't annoying, plays the wrong music, has news bulletins or whose DJ talks too much or has an irritating accent.

    A person who knows nothing about my life and its complexity, arguing with me on what I did to have the life they consider to be
    "wrong".

    TA you can't put someone on ignore on the touch site.

    My TA inniú is that any handsoap with Moisturising schlapped on it inevitably ends up drying my hands out as much as white spirit :facepalm:

    New next door neighbours have moved in beside my house since I've been here. Tenner says they get themselves a Jack Russell within a week or so of me going home.

    So the new neighbours burn rubbish in their back garden.

    They paid over 400 grand for that house, but apparently bin charges are beyond them.

    Fcuk sake. Why are people such dicks???
