    Lady, we have 10k+ homeless (how do you not know this) tell me exactly the coordinates to where there is an available, affordable and liveable flat in the Dublin area.

    So many ta's I can't even start. But I will, I have a thumping headache dealing with ppl like this.

    I hear ya, albeit with a slightly tilted head, i too suffer wonky ear syndrome.

    I don't wear glasses, so not too noticable, and i dont wear sunglasses for this reason, it becomes very obvious if i do.

    My TA that since the elections became live in recent weeks, ive contacted four seperate local candidates to ask their thoughts on certain local issues. Not one of them has replied.

    What is the point of sticking a massive picture of yourself to a lamppost in every possible public place if you don't want to engage?

    The sheer number of candidate leaflets I've put straight into the recycling bin.

    Has anyone, in the history of democracy, ever looked at one of these and thought, "Yes, this is exactly the type of gombeen I want representing me in Europe/on the council!"?

    I also had a shinner try to corner me as I was leaving the house on bank holiday Monday ffs.

    There should be a sticker sent out to every house or something you could print off that you stick on your door or front window and canvasers then have to stay away from your house. I did a home made sign once, but as the elections got nearer the politicians just ignored it

    Or if they must deliver door-to-door, just produce a booklet with ALL the candidates, one drop would suffice then.

    My TA: averaging well over 20K steps a day in work because of those bastarding election leaflets (three lots to do in two days straight after a bank holiday), and my long-term hip complaint is starting to flare up again.

    On public competitions there used to be a big notice at the bottom of the application form that read "Canvassing will disqualify". I can't see why this should be any different.

    Fcuking doctors faffing about for 2 solid weeks on an operation on my 94 yr old grandmother. I understand the caution, she's incredibly high risk. But fcuk me, she's been left dosed up on high levels of pain medication for too long now. Just do the operation, we all know the risks.

    Cornered last night by some leaflet droppers who had the candidate with them, candidate asked me if I could vote in the area(I cant) and if there were any outstanding issues about the community they should be aware of.

    So I list off the domestic concerns ppl in the immediate area have told me about, these issues were brushed off as having been addressed in the "well-attended community meeting", the not at all ta is that the area is known for having elderly and hearing impaired individuals.

    So solution to the problems in the area is to attend /speak at a meeting they wouldn't hear a word of, got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    At 7.55, a very peaceful, sedate, quiet and relaxing morning is interrupted by a large furniture delivery vehicle pulling up outside my neighbours. The little noisy melt of a weirdo answers the door, instead of going to meet the lads delivering or waiting for them to approach, she proceeds to roar from her door out to them on the street whatever information or instructions she has for them..in as usual her most comedic faux posho affectations.( she’s originally from finglas )

    There are multiple vehicles passing, and the delivery fellas are operating a tail lift on the truck so the chance of them hearing her is absolutely ZERO but the taxpayers paying for her college education didn’t get her over the line in certain base levels of intelligence….so she keeps roaring, ever louder. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 just feet away from my room. 🤌🏻

    I'm on a walk in the woods and I don't know if I'm on the loop around path or the dead end one.

    So, I'm a little lost.

    When a body is discovered and they say on the news it was found by a dog walker. Stop taking the credit walker, the dog found it, you just called the police.

    Two:

    When your phone automatically updates and there is a change, however miniscule (the font may have ever so slightly reduced in height or tone), but noticeable enough for it to be annoying.

    There has been a cow, or more than one cow, bellowing in the field adjacent to me for at least two nights now. Shut the eff up.
