    Squirl, I can honestly say you don't look a day older than 97 and ¾ :pac:

    You're not as ruthless as you'd like to appear, so. 😁

    I'd have zero qualms about asking for my leftovers. 1. It's food I've paid for; 2. Waste not, want not. 3. It's a valid reason for carrying a canvas shopper with you (or having a large handbag).

    My local LIDL never has baskets available. They must have at most 6 for the whole store. I ended up buy a lot less than I planned today because I couldn't carry everything in my arms.

    Half of the baskets missing the pull handle in the LIDLs I go to so everyone ignores them on way in and goes to the checkouts for a proper one.

    Also smaller size trollies disappeared across multiple stores in Dublin including new one in Clonshaugh.

    This one didn't even have the broken ones. None available at the checkouts.

    My local Lidl seems to have about 2 or 3 small trolleys which are usually in use. The big trolleys are too big for me (as somebody who lives alone) and the baskets are sometimes too restrictive (I mightn't buy something physically big if I use one) and because of my height, the handle is too short, meaning I have to drag it around doing a wheelie or I have to carry it with the handle off the ground.

    Anyway, a trivial annoyance today in Aldi was that somebody had tied their two dogs between the trolleys and the wall of the building. The dogs were brown and white border collies (I think, with my limited knowledge of dogs) so they were big enough, and one of them was barking constantly, probably because people were coming and going, rattling trolleys beside them. Basically, the people were upsetting the dogs, and the dogs were upsetting people with the noise, while the owner sauntered around the shop oblivious. 🙄

    The bus driver blaring 2FM through every single speaker on the bus so there’s no escape from it. A total and utter lack of cop on from the driver for him to be doing this, especially at this time of morning.

    That's been happening for months, now.

    Does my head in, it's happened twice while typing this post now. I even started a thread on it, which was ignored.

    TA that Boards essentially suffered a heart-attack when they moved the site a few years ago, and has never fully recovered. Like watching a once-great footballer hobbling around the pitch in his 40s. Unbelievable that it has been allowed to be suffocated slowly like this.

    The only thing I can think of is to disable Java Script in Chrome or whatever browser settings you are using which might remove the ads for you.

    That and doany things drive me insane about this and various other journal/news sites in an ad-heavy platform. The eagerness to get you to see ads actually defeats the purpose simply because the ad is viewed as an annoyance rather than a draw-in.

    The slow speed of some of the online financial transfers I make.

    On a bank holiday weekend, if I move money using BOI after Friday 430pm, it doesn't appear until the Tuesday!

    And on the 3rd June I loaded some money from my BOI current account into my PayPal, it arrived today 10th June.

    So much for modern technology.

    one of my favourite tiktokers has started doing paid promotions…. 🤌🏻

    Video starts with her entering a business, ohhh, look it’s Starbucks and she’s going about endorsing the fûck out of them, I then notice the ‘paid promotion’ tag….

    According to Glassdoor her featured day job which she includes as part of her videos occasionally, is paying about $180,000 - $190,000 annually…… so why she wants to go sniffing after tatty endorsements…. Which she can’t be needing…..Deleted…

    Customers who try and grab their purchase off you, before their card payment has gone through.

    Do you think I'm holding onto the item for my own good?

    I will hand the item to you, once the payment has completed, stop trying to reach over the counter and snatch the item out of my hand.

    Same people:

    "Oh sorry, I could have sworn I put money in my revolute, hold on while I transfer money into it"

    "Oh sorry, I must have tapped too many times already today, I'll have to insert my card"

    "Oh sorry, that was the wrong card, I ment to use my other card"

    Shout out to anybody who enjoys the sound of a knife being scraped across a plate. Ever heard a rake being scraped down a steel lamp post?

    Dude taking down election posters with no ladder and was using a rake to drag the poster down to a reachable level so he could snip them. Honestly felt like somebody was dragging a broken bottle down the inside of the back of my skull :(

    Late at night (just after midnight) I spotted a guy with a slash hook over his shoulder wandering down the side of the road.

    Took me a moment or two to guess (maybe I was wrong) that he was out taking down election posters. The cutting blade would be good to cut the ties on the posters and the handle would give you a reach up to about 10 feet or more.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    When you're at a bus stop and the display says your bus is due. Yet it never arrives. WTF!!!
