..and with the most obnoxious voices too, insisting you MUST do [whatever they are selling] - I can't click "skip this ad" quick enough.

"Fcuk off" is the appropriate response.

I see what you did, there.* 😂

My TA is the Holland and Barrett's website. The last time I was on it, it added spurious items to my basket just because I looked at them (but didn't click on "Add"); I immediately contacted Customer Svce who told me the order couldn't be amended after payment but could be cancelled before shipping. I asked them how to do that seeing as there was no option to do so on the website - they replied 3 days after ALL of the items had been delivered, so I ended up having to drive to the shop to return them. Tonight I've items in my basket again, I go to pay, put in all my details (including a card I had previously used), but no joy "This payment couldn't be completed, please try again later or with another card". Tried both, no joy at all. The two-layer approval thingy didn't register any pending transactions waiting for approval. I ring CS at the number given on the rejection, 20mins + on hold, no reply (nor any indication that they were closed). Plus, the holding song was very irritating, not even half a sentence of the song would complete, with the voiceover apologising for the delay coming on every 20 sec, or so. I only went online to buy stuff because they were out of stock in the shops! Grrrr.

It's all about subtlety. 😉 Or something.

Cracked a bad egg into a hot frying pan. Horrendous stink.

Revenue!! Im a sub teacher and because I worked one day covering for a primary teacher and was paid on the primary teacher payroll for that one day, I was flagged as having two jobs so I was emergency taxed on all my wages and ive now got 1000 euro to last me 6 weeks, get me through Christmas and pay for my transport to work until my next pay day! Revenue dont answer the phones, take forever to respond to 'enquires' and it could be months before im put back on the right tax bracket! And they wonder why no one wants to work as a sub teacher!

You must've been very unlucky (or I'm particularly lucky, but knowing me you wouldn't say so), every time I ring Revenue I manage to speak with someone and they're usually very helpful!

New Home · 23-12-2022 1:44am

Another TA: fingers fissures, usually caused by the cold weather. Especially those on your thumb, which you need to use all the time and regardless, but by Jove are they agony!

Gremlinertia · 23-12-2022 2:11am

Finger fissures.... Well now, new one on me, they've been called cracks in my family on both sides since fado fado, a sore, bleeding irritation of an affliction every winter

New Home · 23-12-2022 4:24am

They sound more evil when you call them fissures, Gremmy.😁

BTW, since I couldn't get through to them over 5 hours ago, I pressed 1 and requested a callback from Holland and Barrett. They've just rang me... to tell me to speak with Sales tomorrow.

Why the f#©% would you put a phone number on an error message if that was the wrong one?
Why the f#©% would you ring someone at this ungodly hour, only to tell them "Talk to Sales tomorrow"?

I've a f#©%ing crazy day ahead of me tomorow (today) at work, good luck to me trying to get enough sleep now...

Bah Humbug, etc.

Oh, and tinnitus. Like having a "concert", live in your ears, at all times.

Gremlinertia · 23-12-2022 4:40am

See there's only one type of fissures i can think of now, TA thanks Newie!

Since we are coming into the main bit of the Christmas period. And it is a time of people being nicer to their fellow man and all that jazz.

I realised there are people who do that all the time. Looking out for others before themselves. Seemingly always of a happy disposition.

The type of person who is invariably good looking and charismatic. The type who light up a room when they enter it.

These type of people are invariably intelligent, well read on many subjects. Sporty, musical, funny as well. But somehow never seem like ‘know it all’s’.

Such a person/people are always willing to learn and better themselves and the lives of others.

While most average people would be doing well to be one of the Donkeys in the manger. Doing the solid occasional job. Have their odd bit of charity etc

But the people I am on about appear to give Jesus a run for his ‘gold, frankincense and myrrh’.

Such people well…. they kinda annoy me!

The whiff of a breakfast roll off someone else's breath 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Strumms · 23-12-2022 12:20pm

Waking up to find….

the weather is absolutely shîte

nothing on TV

the neighbours despite it being Christmas getting more work done at 30,672 decibels which started at 7.40am, but stopped with the workers leaving at 10.25am… so why the bastarding fück do they need to be there ’that’ early !? Be a bit considerate maybe and start at 8.30-9.00am and finish at about 11.35am ? still home to in time to baste the other half and kiss the turkey.

freshpopcorn · 23-12-2022 1:25pm

I went to purchase a local club raffle ticket as a gift and was expecting it be €25 and it ended up being €50 and felt like I couldn't say no!

blade1 · 23-12-2022 1:40pm

Work were adamant last week that there would be no work this Christmas Eve and now they've have asked me can I come in.

I don't mind doing it but make up your mind ffs!

Out here we get three An Post deliveries a week, weather permitting. And couriers refuse to come out here. sometimes the website does not bother to you that it is a courier delivery. And the couriers arrive at the quay and get.... So parcels end up in strange places.. An Post is brilliant. As I am not always up and about I signed a waiver that they can sign for any deliveries needing a signature and tht works fine. Given how few we are here. I think the world of An Post. Of course the Postmistress is the real force behind An Post! If there is a parcel there is a special deivery. Oh and he takes outgoing post. Excellentl. The couriers do not know every place and when I lived mainland things would get left in strange places..

Did a pick up from a maternity hospital earlier. In the 30 mins I was waiting there I saw so many women who were evidently heavily pregnant go outside to smoke a fag.

Honestly pissed me off.

AckwelFoley · 23-12-2022 1:59pm

6pm yesterday passed a woman in slow moving traffic with not as much as a park light on in her car. I turned my lights kn and off to alert her that she was driving around with no lights.

Alas, a wasted effort. She was too busy nailed to her phone and driving to pay attention to me of the fact theory light on in her car was off her phone screen

Bredabe · 23-12-2022 2:14pm

There is a long back story behind this, but today I was buttonholed in a supermarket queue by a sometimes colleague, who wanted to trap me into "teaching" her the material from the recent IT course.

Not only am I weeks' behind on the material myself but I'm so not the person to teach anyone memory based material. So I told her that the written notes(I wrangled out of the unwilling trainer) would be online on the 25th. Which she complained to me was christmas day and too late for her to catch up for the assessment.

THIS is the one who complained long and loudly because I was taking up too much of the trainers time trying to find out IF written notes were going to be available during the break!

Gremlinertia · 23-12-2022 2:21pm

Minor but... People making plurals where they don't exist. Easons and stephenses recent examples

New Home · 23-12-2022 2:24pm

With Easons I think they just missed the apostrophe (Eason's).

Gremlinertia · 23-12-2022 2:40pm

Nope Eason is a singular I walk by one frequently

Also apostropbe needs to be a word
