    Seing other people's shopping and thinking it is much healthier than mine. They're loading up the conveyor belt with bananas, low fat milk, wholegrain bread, low fat yoghurts, leaves, tomatoes etc


    ...I'm there - merlot.... and 12 cans of sardines for the cats. :(

    People (usually women) holding up the check out counter with multiple credit/debit cards, fecking loyalty cards, tokens/collecting cards for kitchen knifes, luggage or whatever sh*te the supermarket is doing.

    TA'd when my labello/chapstick gets kind of warm from being in my pocket or a warm room. I go to apply some and the majority of the balm stick breaks right off as it's lost it's solidity from the heat!

    Does anybody else find Labello a really odd brand name for a chapstick? To me it kind of suggests that it's not the lips on your face you should be using it on :o

    I don't know about Labello, but the word "chapstick" makes me snort into my Horlicks! :pac::pac::pac:

    I always think immediately that Labello is the Italian word for Labia.

    Tesco

    Trip to Tesco yesterday evening. Went to self service check outs. One of the six had shopping in the baggage area, nobody at it. Another one was tied up with people doing I don't know what, so the queues were long.
    Eventually get to my turn, pay up, about to leave, and I spot a woman coming back to the area with baggage in it. She had gone back to the fúcking deepest part of the shop for something she "forgot". I had queued, scanned, and paid for my shopping while she was gone and taking up one of the scanners. I REALLY felt like having a go, I'm too timid though. :o

    Well thanks for making me see my much needed lip balm in a whole other light! A TA!

    People obsessed with having the latest phone, Galaxy S6, M9, Iphone whatever. Some of them wouldn't have a pot to piss in, the phone is worth more than their car, and they're still living at home. A fella made a derogatory remark about my Galaxy S2 on Sunday night in the pub. This lad is 32, lives at home, and drives a piece of crap car, but he has the newest HTC phone, to look at porn and PaddyPower.com on. I just smiled, and asked him what time mammy would have his dinner ready.

    My neighbours cat.
    It hangs around outside my door when it wants to be let in. Wrong door idiot cat.
    After a while of it sitting outside, if I don't open the door to tell it what an idiot it is being, he'll then jump up onto the fromt window sill and sit there like an idiot me-owing and wanting to get in.

    I'm an easy going type overall but I have to say that that kind of rubbish really tries my patience. Five transactions?!

    Same here.
    I was queueing one day, and a guy used numerous cards, and didn't get any money. Wtf was he doing! On second thoughts, maybe I don't want to know. :pac:

    Similarly, when I used to get the bus, (I don't know if the prepay cards still exist, or is it all on Leapcard now) but people getting on, trying various cards which were obviously used up, before hitting on the working one. Then replacing the lot carefully in their wallet for a repeat performance the next morning...

    Eugh, I've a friend who does that. We'll be heading to the shops and she'll say, "Oh I've just to nip to the ATM" - "nip" as in "wont take long" I think..... B*llox. Ten minutes later she is still standing there kerfuffling with various cards. She's one of these real sensible sallys. Post office savings, prize bonds, bought a house with her brother to get onto the property ladder. Claims to be down to her last fiver even though she has thousands saved. I don't know what the hell she's doing with all those cards. Maybe having a quick play on the stockmarket while everyone else waits on the ATM? :(

    Neighbours who don't secure their green bins, so when there is a bit of wind like last night, the roads and gardens are covered in rubbish


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,763 ✭✭✭Aglomerado


    The local scobes were out in force yesterday evening. I was walking down the street and four of these hoodies and tucked in tracksuit bottoms wearing gentlemen walking abreast were coming towards me.

    Too much traffic to be able to cross the street, so I put my hands in my pockets to protect my valuables and braced myself... then....

    .... one of them sang at me when I was going past!! :D

    People who wear their dressing gowns during the day to the shops/supermarket/post office,etc. Don't get me wrong, wearing your pyjamas is not acceptable either way, but, at least if there's a coat or jacket over the pyjamas, it makes them look slightly less bedroom attire (but not much). The pyjamas teamed with a dressing gown in public is a step too far, too far. It is basically the scenario that they have gotten out of bed and haven't made any attempt to put normal, day time clothes on. These folk are only short of wearing their slippers out to show complete disregard for what is acceptable human behaviour.

    People who stand just outside hospital entrances smoking. Hello??? What happens if someone wants to bring a sick relative out for some fresh air? They'll get poisoned, that's what! :(

    It's disgusting. It's actually against HSE policy to smoke anywhere on the grounds of a HSE site so if that was a HSE you are referring to, then there shouldn't be smoking permitted at the front door.

    As I was passing through an apartment complex yesterday I saw one of our settled nomadic brethren out in the piddling rain and gale force winds, washing her windows wearing her pajamas and dressing gown.:D

    I've now adjusted my thinking that such people wear their finest business / formal attire to bed, and simply have some kind of 'dressing chromosome' issue.


    TA: Was lovely and sunny, and now when I'm ready for a walk it's started to pee again...

    Speaking of atms, these small ones are weird the Bank of Ireland ones you see in the shops sometimes. Last Friday I stuck my card in and tried to withdraw 20, it spat my card out again, so had to go through the process of reinserting, pin number and this time I selected 50 which worked, why can it not just take me back to cash selection rather than when it has no twenties spit my card out cancelling the transaction. Stupid system.

    I would find that to be a more acceptable excuse than just being lazy, disrespectful individuals.

    TA that since I have started running, I've lost just enough weight for my running shorts to be not quite tight enough but not enough weight to justify buying a new pair :( Horrible in betweeny stage :(

    I don't understand how people can go out wearing pajamas. I just couldn't do it, I'd feel skanky. Mr Pumpkinseeds occasionally has to answer the door to the postman wearing his dressing gown if he's on nights and I'm out and he hates it, he always feels he has to make a point of telling the postman that he's working nights, in case he thinks he's just too lazy to get dressed.:)

    I'm going to be honest ONW, it is a TA for me (but nothing personal though, ok?) when people lose weight and then get annoyed that their old clothes don't fit. Now, that's only assuming that people are exercising to get fit and to lose weight. If the weight is dropping off and you don't want it to, then it's fair enough to give out about having to buy new clothes in a smaller size.

    No no! I know where you're coming from and I despise such individuals too, especially when they do it for a reaction :P

    Obviously I'm glad the weight's going the right way, but I had told myself I'd buy new clothes when I reach my target, I just hadn't thought about clothes for the inbetween stage :P
