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???

Rubbish or leaves? Not that it really matters much. I had it happen in my area not too long ago, it was a gardener who did the burning not the home owner.

Didn’t change the fact that the wash I’d put out on the line myself now reeked of smoke. Next time it happens call the fire brigade or the Gards. You can say you thought their house was on fire.

I drive through an area where the speed limit is 40, and they have a few of the displays that show your speed. Up to 39 and your speed comes up grand, nice and green and calm. Once you hit forty, the attitude changes and it starts flashing red and saying SLOW DOWN as if you you just belted through at 90.
40 is the posted max speed, so stop accusingly flashing at me you solar powered robotic bastard!

YouTube adding video recommendations to the end of videos before they finish is worse

People scheduling daily conference calls at 5pm

Lunch meetings are another one. A plate of poxy sandwiches and a few crisps is meant to make up for taking away the only hour of the working day I can half tolerate? One benefit of lockdown is that these have stopped.

Went to the Pavilions shopping center earlier... headed into one of the fashion clothing retailers, picked out four T-shirts, one sweater, two light summer jackets...

I was tired after my exercise class, and with covid and tiredness I didn’t want to try on so just put clothing against my frame and bought what I thought would fit...I was SURE everything fit....but alas no, I’m reasonably tall, but not humongous, sizes purchased were large and aside from one jacket and the sweater everything is too short when I try them.... so need to head back tomorrow to exchange.... not impressed.

People who think a very minor rush-hour bump between two (apparently undamaged) cars requires Garda presence. Not only that, but both cars must remain in the exact location where the collision occurred, and can't possibly be moved onto the hard shoulder. I drove past it a few hours later and they were still there, still waiting for the Gardai, still causing traffic chaos with the scene 'preserved'. Could still be there, for all I know.

I was rear-ended on the M50 last year. Traffic suddenly slowed down and the car behind me didn't manage to stop in time. Rather than blocking the M50 at 5pm because of a small dent in my bumper, I got her to follow me to the next junction and it took less than a minute to swap details and take a couple of quick photos. It never even occurred to me to get the guards.

Emptying the washing machine to hang stuff out, or emptying the dryer to put stuff away, and finding that most of the trousers have one leg inside out. Tops the same, so many have one arm inside out.

There is no point mentioning it to OH and kids, I'll only get an eye roll.

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.

You could try some good internet radio stations such as Bay Radio and also 8 Radio (ran by Simon Maher formerly of Phantom and TXFM)
I stopped listening to the regular Radio over a year ago because of the persistent, repetitive Covid ads.

Anyway my TA is that I ordered two large t-shirts online from Zara. One fits perfectly while the other is like Homer Simpson's fat guy Mumu, a total bag of a thing.

Modern plasters.
Some are like plasters we've all known - they come out of a little packet and have backing in two pieces on the sticky bits. It's pretty obvious how to apply these ones.

But others....
They still have the packet but when you take them out, there's a film over the outside of the plaster, too. Do you take this off first or last?
I usually end up trying to take this pointless film off after applying the plaster but it is then stuck in the overlap or the plaster and wants to pull the plaster off!
Thankfully, I don't use plasters enough to cop on to whatever the correct technique and half the ones you come across aren't these stupid ones, anyway.

Does anyone know how to apply these things without cursing?

On boards: Lazy responses such as "I'd say you're great craic at parties" or else a one word response to the OP, adds nothing to the conversation and it's just rude. On a seperate note, why do so many on this board need to disagree in such a rude way?

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.

Yes but I fell like it tastes better out of the tube than tins, am I the only one?

OP bashing is annoying. Happens a lot where someone who seems to have a genuine issue is examined forensically by some posters in order to turn the blame around on them.

Sometimes it's deserved, though.
The stingiest thread is great for that when posters don't realise that they are the stinge in the story!

I just received a work related email. The person has listed all their credentials under their name and then 'she/her'. I have to pick my eyes out from the back of my head. Stupid pronoun shìte and a list of 'aren't I so greats'

I know! I can't hear "comptroller" without a voice in my head saying "and auditor general"

Another TA I've some maternity tops I got second hand from the recycling group, which is great, except one of them says "it started with a kiss" on it. Even if I could forgive the crass, cheesey slogan, any time I see it I literally spend the rest of the day with that song stuck in my head, but only the part where yer man shrieks, "you don't remember me do you?!" Eugh

Don't mention it in the Unpopular Opinions thread. It's an emotive subject :eek:

Getting diesel earlier. Pump trickled out about 30c worth of fuel before stopping, presumably because it ran out. So I moved to another pump which worked perfectly. When paying, I informed the young lad at the till that pump 1 had stopped working so they were aware of it- he added the 30c to the bill. The ingrate

I've had a migraine since Monday. The painkillers haven't really worked, they've just given me a bellyache.
