Drivers with complete disregard for residents when parking around beaches.

Yes I understand that the weather is finally good. But that doesn't give you the right to block someones drive-way, or essentially abandon your car along the road which causes traffic jams. Or to park up at the access point for the lifeboat.

A very popular cliff-walk and pier nearby was thronged yesterday with idiots like that. Even heard stories of lads wrecklessly flying about on their jetskis among swimmers and a couple of close-calls. I was in the same place over a month ago, and it was bad that day too, but it was at least two-fold worse yesterday.

Very few native accents or local number-plates among the crowd too I would guess. Like a mini-Finglas.

This is why, as someone who has lived near beaches all my life, I find them the most over-rated thing to do on a warm day.

Same here. We are mountain based and I actively avoid the "beauty spots" like the plague at weekends, bank holidays, warm days etc. It just isn't worth it. Much prefer to take a day off midweek and go then with the dog. As well as littering and illegal parking, there also seems to be no regard for the fact that there are people living and working in the area. That there is livestock about, or that people living here might actually have kids too. Yet everywhere else you see "slow down, kids at play" signs, and speed reducers etc.

Businesses that only exist on Instagram.
I put an order in for a cake last week,no phone number is given.They only take orders through Instagram, and yet not one person has answered my DM.
Either to say they take the order or they are full.

Whats the point of having an online business if you dont answer the messages.

Babybel cheese.

The cheese is covered by wax so why does it also need a plastic wrapper?

My ex going to the supermarket with a shopping list and coming home with half the items but no alternatives.

" I couldn't find the honey or lemons so i just left it"

Oh that's cool, i only put those on the list for a laugh, it's not because im making honey lemon chicken for dinner.

Why couldn't he ask a shop assistant for, you know, assistance or call me and ask where he'd find honey or use logic and think it's probably beside the sugar and jams or find an alternative.

I appreciate him doing the shopping but every time he comes home with nothing that i asked for. Im also paying for the shopping and doing the cooking so its a double TA.
I would go myself but im on bedrest at the moment.

I never thought of that but true

My kids insisted on me getting some Babybel cheese a couple of years ago.

Turns out they hated the cheese and didn't eat it, but opened them all and then rolled the wax up up into balls and left them all around the place to be walked into the floor and stuck to stuff gathering dust. The plastic wrapper is probably the best part of it.

I'm hooked on 'the chase' . I've applied, a 3 year wait for an interview seemingly, and I'm not as good as I imagine going by my guesses

Having to accept cookies on Boards EVERY time I open it for the last week. What's going on??

Sand.
Especially wet sand.

Was never a fan of the beach but can live with it dry.

Kids went to the beach last night. Landed back covered in it. It was everywhere.

So now I have to try to get it out of wetsuits, socks, bath, shower, car.........

This is the third or fourth group I have read an article about who were 'worst' affected by the pandemic.

There was me thinking that the people who died were the worst affected.

That song that's used in 95% of memes.

"Oh no...Oh no, oh no, no, no."

Nails on a chalkboard. Can't fúcking stand it. If someone sends me something like that and that song plays it instantly gets closed and I think less of them.

When you are in the car leaving and someone insists standing at the front door to wave you off.

I have to get my sh!t together before I drive away.
Plug in my phone to charger, sort out snacks and drinks etc..

All the time they are standing there waving.. talk about pressure!

if its 5 mins or less id probably leave them off, bit of leeway from me since i dont have wired earphones anymore myself and alot of desktops mightnt have BT.

however, have a colleague who doesnt turn off his radio when he leaves despite repeatedly being asked to turn it off. in fairness, its genuine forgetfulness rather than malice, but its a pain in the hole either way

A few years ago, we had a person who began taking calls on speakerphone at their desk in an open-plan office. Despite the fact that their phone had both a regular handset and a headset.

We started joining in the calls, shouting out responses and comments from across the floor. The guy soon got the message.

Nuisance callers in work.

One fella rang before lunch-time (answered by colleague) asking a question that a) is outside our area of expertise and b) we have no information on anyway. Kept my colleague on the phone for a good twenty minutes.

Same lad rang again after lunch with a different variation to the same question, with my colleague showing great patience towards him.

In the meantime, my supervisor had emailed him providing him an answer to the question but basically saying that the staff don't have time to be answering questions that aren't specific to our remit, and any external research incurs a fee.

Didn't the fella only ring again for a third time, with me answering. He said he was "astounded" by the email and kept pestering about the same damn question. In his defence, he didn't realise that the database we have is only specific to our area, and his question falls out of that range entirely. It did seem to calm him down and as of 4PM, he hasn't rang back since.

Now I would deduce that he isn't the full-shilling the poor man, but still, one of those days.

Flying ants, they're here again. I know they're food for birds & aerate the soil but just wish they'd fly off somewhere else.

I wonder what her reaction would be if someone laid a big curly one on her doorstep?
She'd be cool with it?

Had a customer in work who would only call us on the local office number.... the conversation about 10 times a year....

“ I know you are not customer service but I need you to help me and I’ll be on hold on that 1850 number for 25 minutes, they’ll listen and promise to call me back but they never do and you need to...”

“ sir, it’s 16.45, it’s a busy time for them, despite this, I can see from their stats on the dashboard the average hold time over the last 15 minutes is 2 minutes 37 seconds... I think you’d be better off holding for 3 minutes to speak to someone that can help you, as opposed to spending 3 minutes talking to me who cannot “

But the same thing over and over... :eek:

"Oh, good evening, it's you again, Sir - we've missed you. Please hold while I transfer your call."

Coming home from a walk with the dog and what do I see? A teenager with his phone in one hand and using his other hand to whip out his dick so that he can publicly urinate in a green area in the middle of a housing estate. Not a hint of shame in what he had done when he spotted people out walking. I hope to God that none of the little kids about the place were looking out their windows.

More than trivially annoyed at myself. Just realised that I did a 40 degree wash at 60 degrees. :(:(

So mad at myself. There was nothing REALLY delicate in there but there was a pair of jeans and a jumper that I’ll have to wait and see on. Just glad I don’t boil wash the towels anymore. The machine was set at 60 degrees after a towel wash. If if was 90 degrees there’d be no saving those clothes.
