    Shower curtains! What the actual ****!

    And hotels that still have them in this day and age!

    The 101 Bus Eireann service has been absolutely appalling this week. I was waiting 40 minutes at Drumcondra Station yesterday eve before a sh!tbox double decker came along. By the time the bus got past the Swords bypass the top deck was packed and honking of BO and condensation. I just had to open a window so I could breathe and prevent myself from getting sick.

    Earlier, I was pulling onto a main road I use almost every day, so know it inside out. Had a good bit of clearance to get out in front of van, something you'd do countless times without even thinking. Said van driver actually sped up extremely close to my back bumper and started to flash his lights and gesticulate at me. The thing is, the general flow of traffic had started to slow due to a fella crawling two cars ahead of me, and we were entering a 50KM zone anyway. He kept up the intimidating driving until I turned off the road (after making sure I crawled).

    Now it annoyed rather than frightened me, but the next time he does it, it could be an elderly person or learner driver behind the wheel. Joke's on him too, as his company's email address was printed on the van, so I sent his employer an email explaining the same during lunch.

    was out walking in my local park last night and I spotted a guy, stop by a rubbish bin and proceed to put his empty wine bottles into it (from his backpack)..

    he knew I saw him but he didn't care..

    the audacity

    Disposable vapes and the rubbish they create. Always teenagers, always f*ck everything they don't need directly on the ground in front of them. These are the same folks who will be out protesting about climate change next chance they get.

    Two things

    Recent trend of adding R and L indicators on socks. F**k sake. What sort of pillock dreamed that up?

    And "easy reseal" wrapping that either never opens without tearing or when it does open won't actually stay sealed.

    Saw a guy today throwing a cigarette butt out the window of his car onto the ground. He was parked beside a litter bin. Dirtbag.

    Those are a god send to some of us who cant tell right from left and children who are learning the differences.

    TA The ppl who share stories about their families members/friends who have dyspraxia, the wonderful support they got and how they got high marks and did well in academic or the arts bc of it! are sooooooooooooo happy now.

    Must have heard this story at least once a day this month, I want to scream that not all dyslexics/dyspraxics/dyscalculics are the same. 😡🙄

    Just got home and wondered about the strange smell in the hallway. Naturally I suspected the dog had done something but I was wrong. It’s my own shoes. The whole lower floor smells like **** feet now.

    Those flimsy pvc ones you still get some places! First it sticks to your leg, then when removing that it sticks to your arm.

    What REALLY gets my goat is when someone asks me what dyspraxia is and I try to explain to them how it effects me, they say stupid schite like "sure we're all like that" No, "we" are not. Recently had a woman march up and down on the spot with eyes closed to demonstrate to me how everyone's balance is a bit wonkey. Yes, says I, but mines like that with my eyes open. Seriously, if you're gonna ask me why I don't drive or have to walk down the stairs pausing with both feet on the same step or can't run at least accept my explanation. It's like they're trying to prove to me I'm making it up, or something. Next time they'll get a sharp "Mind your own fugging business! " If they already think I'm a weirdo for these slight deviations from the norm they can conclude I'm an asshole aswell.

    If you can't tell right from left how does an R or L designation on a sock help?

    Homesickness,normally it was never a problem.But for whatever reason tonight,it decided to rear it's head.So I'm drowning the bastard in bourbon.

    a "large" bottle of coke in us local chippy is now a measly 1L one 😒 FFS! Saw the bottle in t'bag along with me scran, and thought, "she's only after giving me a 500ml one" , but no, on further inspection, 1Litre it was 😄

    can't remember t'last time I got one there (might've been a yr ago) and it was bad enough then, as it was a mere 1.25L 😪



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,092 ✭✭✭Bredabe


    R for right L for left, I know some ppl cant tell if they are wearing socks on the "wrong" foot but I can and with enough exposure it teaches me which is which.

    Pepsi was the last 2ltr hold out but they’ve caved now as well. Funny how the prices haven’t changed too much.

  • Registered Users Posts: 24,357 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    huh? I've only ever worried about socks being a pair and lashing them on whatever foot... Are you saying that socks are like shoes?

    How have I never known this? I thought the R and L were gimmicks

    I mean I'm not going to change now... I've gone 41 years like this



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,092 ✭✭✭Bredabe


    I suppose you could look at it like that, I don't wear socks much but if they are on the wrong feet I can feel the difference(I think its a difference in the seams) or maybe its "another" "gift of dyslexia"

    The letters could well be gimmicks(I know nothing to contradict) but even so that's how I would use them when I wear socks, other ppl will have different approaches. I know that with elderly ppl that is the kind of thing carers dressing them find it useful.

    In terms of your socks, as in all things "you do you".

    Any of my socks seem to be ambidextrous. 😉 In the morning, I don't even try to get a pair of socks that is an actual pair, just two socks that fit my feet. I hate when size 6-11 socks somehow appear...

    Another sock-related trivial annoyance: lads not wearing any (with shoes).

    Fancied a toast ham and cheese. The date on the cheese is the 14th , not to bad …. Of April 😡



  • Registered Users Posts: 16,133 ✭✭✭✭iamwhoiam


    Never in all my many years on this earth did I hear of socks being left or right ? I have washed Multiple pairs for women , men , babies , teens , kids , school socks , work socks and fancy socks and never saw any difference in them ever ?



  • Registered Users Posts: 12,550 ✭✭✭✭bodhrandude


    Why has boards not fixed this yet since the revamp, opening posts of threads, you agree with the poster so you click thanks. Example is the Long-lived standards thread, opening post as 3 thanks, I click thanks and it still stays at 3, I bring cursor over thanks and it doesn't display names. Why is this continuous in opening posts and when is it going to be fixed. A minor gripe I know but have been caught out a few times now and it baffles me.

    I've never heard of left or right socks either, so either I've been unknowingly and randomly putting the correct sock on each foot all my life, or there's no such thing.

    My TA, I'm busy and tired, it's not a good combination.



  • Registered Users Posts: 98 ✭✭Pepsirebel


    I'd be doing well to put the same colour sox on never mind L & R !!!

    My TA is people......just people!!!

    I'm cream crackered. Woke up at 5am and never got back to sleep thanks to my sister's cough, which is made even more irritating by the fact that she won't actually cough, just keeps clearing her throat. How I didn't go in and smother her with her own pillow, I'll never know.



  • Registered Users Posts: 16,133 ✭✭✭✭iamwhoiam


    Apparently you can buy socks for athletic use that are specifically for right and left . Something to do with seams and rubbing . But the normal everyday ordinary socks are not left or right specific


    My TA today is a young women who quite obviously could not handle her big SUV parking in such a way that I couldn’t get my car door open . When I pointed out to her politely that she was well over the dividing line I get a blank stare and a no recognition of her bad parking. .
