    Calling a notable shop that sells fragrances to ask the staff member if they have my favourite aftershave in stock…which I’ve bought there before..

    ”no, haven’t heard of it, what does the bottle look like ? errr nahhh we’ve nothing like that sorry”

    firstly, would you not have a fûcking computer you could look up to ascertain if you have it in stock without me going and trying to describe… a 5 inch tall, oblique, see through glass bottle, silver flip top, label and brand in big gold letters on the side….?

    only released 27 years ago, yet the ‘assistant’ seemingly without a notion as to what I’m discussing…

    I’ve even seen people put bacon and carrots in. 😂

    Unfortunately, even "non-instant" coffee can taste like burnt dregs.

    If they're chopped finely, carrots are fine when you fry them with onions and celery to start the sauce; bacon, at a push, could pass if minced (pork is used in the mince, too), but peas? I shudder.

    Us office drones who commuted into the office for 2 years were allowed to park underground. Yaaaaay

    Now this is ending and is there any recognition for our commuting? Maybe the 30/40 of us out of 300 may keep parking spaces?

    Nope, the Vice Presidents and above who were never to be seen anywhere still rank higher in the hierarchy so get parking spaces immediately.

    I know it's little to complain about. A parking space when others lost jobs. My TA is more some people commuted in to cover essential tasks while the with top bosses with company cars will instantly get parking spaces.

    A business, that offers a very specific sports injury physio service yet on their website not a single fûckin piece of information as to what they charge…

    it seems to be a modern business concept so that you’ll visit, call, email, tweet or contact them directly in some regard as to enquiring as to their services and pricing and they can give you their sales pitch…. ‘sell’…

    Why not ? …FSM Micro-current treatment … 50 minutes, 80 euros…Myofacial release… 50 minutes, 70 euros

    Local physio has everything listed but she doesn’t have this specific specialist equipment / treatment, she lists prices too but this lot.

    Work up with a twinge in my back. Can't get comfortable on the couch now. Sleeping when you're older is apparently a dangerous sport.



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,597 ✭✭✭Mollyb60


    Just realised why my back is actually sore. Its the 6kg cat who has decided that my lap is the most comfy place in the world to sleep. So I'm twisting myself sideways to try continue working. It's pretty obvious when I think about it.

    Is he really complaining that he had to stay an hour outside dublin? does he not know that some people commute much further distances on a daily basis?

    Headed out for the afternoon with some of the family, before we headed out I asked one if he had his keys,phone,glasses and debit card. One of the boys told me to "let the man alone and not be telling him what to do". we arrive at the venue and you guessed it, no card to pay in with ("I didn't know I would need it") and no glasses to see the attractions.So ppl had to break out of the schedule to check on him.


    *But yea I'm the one with the problem.

    More than trivial - human behaviour creates a massive problem that affects nature and it's the animals that have to suffer the consequences and have to be euthanised.

    Non Irish actors complete inability to do an irish accent. Is our accent that hard to copy?

    I pass a house everyday where someone has installed one of those cheapo faux Victorian lanterns as a light outside their door.

    They managed to install it upside down...

    I spent the morning driving around 2 local towns ,each about 15 miles from me to get forms for renewal of my driver licences. I need to get a medical cert for them. Only to get a text that my appointment is cancelled. Ah well.

    Just pigs in work, what’s the point in a dishwasher when people fail to use it or even clean up after themselves. Dropping deuces that are still visible, a large gathering of pubes gathered around the bowl.

    A pig man who constantly clears his fupping throat all frigging day (maybe pubes lodged in his throat). I truly despise working in an office.

    I'm meeting a gentleman friend I think I'm starting to really like after work. Wearing a white top, so it's only a matter of time before I spill coffee on it, or someone bumps into me while carrying, like, an open tin of red paint or something. Quite frankly it's a miracle I've made it this far into the day without incident. Still plenty of time, though. What was I thinking???

    I was thru driving town earlier - the light was green for me but nevertheless, a woman proceeded to cross the road in front of me, while PUSHING A PRAM????!!! 😡



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,135 ✭✭✭oneweb


    Oh, there's a house near me that has one lantern either side of the door - uʍop-ǝpᴉsdn ɥʇoq, looks like mini spaceships ffs 🤦🏻‍♂️ (I think it's 'cos the holes for the wires were too low). I think the electrics may not tolerate the situation for long.

    It is what it's.

    Not exactly a TA but one of the lads I know in work (who is pale and ginger) posted a pic of himself on Instagram in Death Valley USA in 45 degree heat wearing all black clothes. He might as well be trapped inside an oven!

    I thought I would do the environmental thing and get a bus to Kilkenny instead of driving. Finished up my work at 6pm and went to the bustop 10 mins before the bus was due.

    Standing there for 40+ minutes until the bus finally trundled along. No apology from driver an company doesn't give a crap either.

    Will be bringing the car next time

    Have been flirty chatting with a newer member of staff for a few months, I've been too shy to go down the four floors with an excuse to chat in person,

    resident "matchmaker"(busybody😫) found a way to place us in the same place on different parts of a mutual tasks, turns out we have a shared interest in the baked goods of a german multinational supermarket and what they have on display at different times of the day.

    OMFG he picked up and handled each item of interest in the section with his bare hands, even when I showed him where the bags were. I nearly threw up on the spot, I get ppl don't realise they are doing this but when they keep doing it when they are aware.....................................................................*insert a million vomit emojis.

    Ta, a non existent romance thwarted by bread mauling.

    You got “the ick” early there, B. Much better to have it happen now that further on down the road.

    Have been feeling very overwhelmed by all the life organisation I have to do now that I've finished uni, plus a lot of other dependant matters, the other day I found I have been sleeping 12 hours a night for ages even tho Ive been on days for months and months and my bloods are fine.

    I watched my patterns and I could see I was slipping into a slight depression but too foggy brained and anxious to figure out what to do about it.

    Yesterday we had to put the dog down(he was at the very end of his life) while today Im feeling teary and sad I also feel much less overwhelmed.

    Ta that's what it took to move my life on.

    This feels very petty compared to some but the dishwasher cracked one of my favourite glasses. I no longer have a full set.

    The fuss about the Ukraine refugees kids in Ireland being good at chess when it's because Irish kids are too dumbed down to be good at chess.

    I use and am a member of a gym on a university campus…the campus accommodation is home to our Ukrainian guests during the summer….

    i was passing a staff member on my exit just brief conversation ‘how,did it go ?, great, ok goodbye and thanks’ when she was approached by a large group of lads in their 20/30’s…about 10 of them…

    They explained that they were wanting to use the gym… she said ok but they will need to become members and explained the cost and what they will get in return for membership… free pool access, free classes, and they they will only be charged the student rate… which is a significant discount… they would only need to pay about 25% compared to the price us, the general public pay.

    the reaction from the lead individual who had proffered the query was nothing short of pig ignorant… I won’t repeat it verbatim but fûck… talk about ungrateful… I’d walked away but the conversation ended when the employee in question had to raise her voice to basically put an end to them badgering her and arguing with her….they thought free accommodation, free money, free healthcare, free transport would extend to free gym membership…

    im all for chancing one’s arm for a bargain but when someone says NO yet attempts to engage with you professionally and courteously as to what discount they would get, if you are going to become shîtty with them when you are just asked to pay 25% of the cost of the services…. GOBSMACKED….
