    That Bruno Mars song "today I don't feel like doing anything " , just what you want to hear when you've dragged yourself into work on a Monday morning, reminds you of some of the wasters out there who take the song as encouragement !
    Nb. I'm not referring to the unemployed

    Productivity at an all time low, progressive hangovers are the devil!

    A curry and a good ride are about the only two things that could salvage this day and i doubt i'll be having either!

    The last time I was at a wedding I had an up do done for it. It was gorgeous looking but it wasn't much fun trying to remove 40 hair pins from my hair at 6am after a day/night of drinking. Also had to shampoo the hair 3 times to make sure all the hairspray was gone. I'm surprised no accident happened as there were lots of shenanigans going on and I was highly flammable :D
    Hee, after my hairdresser sat me down after washing my hair she handed me an enormous glass of wine and a big ashtray while she started to work on my hair. With all the nerves that day and the huge dress with cathedral length train, I'm amazed I didn't set fire to myself with all the ciggys I smoked that day. Haven't smoked for years now.

    While we're on the subject of hairdressers, why after they wash your hair do they leave you sitting in the chair looking like some crazed scientist with your hair all over the place. They always seem to pick that exact moment to go an chat to their mate for a few minutes, don't mind waiting but just give it a little brush so people don't think i've been stranded on desert island for the last 10 years and it's the first time getting my haircut since then.

    I think I may have blocked the toilet:eek: It was a close thing when I flushed it, the water got very close to the rim but the 'stuff' didn't go down the pipe. I'm afraid to go up and flush it again:o but I can't leave it for my husband to sort out, it's his first day back at work and his thumb still hasn't healed since he split it last week. I just haven't the heart to say 'you know how you're having a really crap day sweetie? well I've got more crap for you to deal with when you get home':(

    I just flushed it and well, it's not good. It filled higher than last time, then dropped but didn't clear. I'm really hoping that I'm not going to have to get out the rubber gloves and newspaper:(

    Boil the kettle, literally throw it into the toilet. Not the whole kettle!!

    If you have bleach or drain unblocker throw that in too, wait a couple of hours and flush!

    Pumpkinseeds' predicament reminds me of a story from when I was about 3 or 4.
    I was staying with the woman who used to babysit me in the afternoons. I went for a nº 2 on my own but was still learning the ropes as it were. It was a messy one and I must have used half a roll at least. I remember the fear of seeing the water rise but it subsided and I thought it was ok.

    However further along the pipe got blocked and it stated overflowing out of the drain in the backyard. Needless to say they didn't take long to discover the culprit and to this day I remember vividly what she said when she came out and saw the mess.....
    'well..ye must have a woeful big arse!'

    I think it's always wise to tip the hairdresser, you don't want to be on bad terms with them, who knows what their capible of.

    Get a wire coat hanger, bend it in half so that it forms like a L or a U shape, stick on a pair of rubber gloves, & give it a poke. 9/10 times you'l clear it with 5 seconds of poking. Whatever you do, dont flush it again until the water has gone down or it will overflow.

    Protip. Have a plastic bag ready to receive the coat hanger (& possibly gloves) afterwards. That badboy aint seeing the inside of your closet again.

    Nah, that's the white powder in the clear plastic bag labelled L Lysine powder for cats, no, seriously that is L Lysine for cats, it just looks like cocaine:D

    :( It was a newspaper, rubber gloves and double plastic bag job. I unblocked it and now I'm kinda pleased with myself for unblocking it:) but, I'm going to try to repress the memory now:D

    Plenty of experience with blocked loos - tip down to Tesco hardware and pick up a plunger, when you get home give it a few pumps with a bit of elbow action, rest for a minute, give it another few pumps, then it should free up!

    I don't think there was ever a weekend shift I done in Supermacs where I didn't have to don the marigold gloves and head once more into the breach, black refuse bag in one hand, plunger in the other!

    I've had to scrub a few hotel jacks in my time. You would have to wonder if some people were ever potty trained at all.

    The missus works in a bar and some real atrocities have taken place inside that cubicle. I've seen the seat
    and walls streaked with treacle like shyte at times. It makes me wonder what kind of untrained animals go
    in there. One fella was barred because of the mess he used to make.

    How hard can it be to **** into a hole thats a lot bigger than your arse.

    It's a long time ago, but 1 of the first jobs I had after finishing school was housekeeping in a large hotel. Christ on a bike, the things you'd see in the ensuite don't bear thinking about. That's before you even start on the things that go on in hotel rooms. There's a very good reason for leaving a door wide open when you're cleaning a room on your own:eek:

    The US date format MM/DD/YY.
    If that's the case then why isn't Born on the 4th of July called Born on July 4th?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,341 ✭✭✭czechlin


    When a stapler gets jammed and you decide to investigate the issue and fix it and staple your finger!!! :mad:
    Well I guess I can say I fixed it.

    Also when you open a door and hit your own forehead with it.

    And last but not least when you decide to spin on the chair and bang both your knees off the desk TWICE.

    Bubble wrap anyone? :pac:
