Another Monday morning feeling fantastic in the office...:pac:

Why i keep doing this to myself i'll never know, and clearly never learn! I'm actually too fragile to be aggressively annoyed at much today but i will say that driving on the m50 in this state is a traumatic experience. Seriously cannot be dealing with dickheads flying in and out of lanes around me with no proper warning.

Read this and got an image in my head, of a winged person, with a penis for a head, flying up and down the M50, and not indicating:D

Don't ya just hate when you choose the wrong checkout to queue at thinking it'll be faster because the person in front of you only has a basket and the person at the other checkout has a trolley?

I thought I was going to be through in a few minutes but she upturned the basket on the conveyor belt and then went off to do a bit more shopping while the checkout operator was sorting out the til, sigh. It was just one of those mornings, also found out that I'm menopausal, I'm only 41. I shouldn't really be surprised, life seems to have well and truly fcuked me over in the health department all my life, why not this:mad:

The single worst thing you can do in the super market is stand behind a little aul one, generally they pay for things with shrapnel and take the best part of 10 minutes counting coppers on the counter and muttering to the girl at the till! The amount of times i've felt like throwing a tenner at the cashier just to get some biddy the fuark out of my way so i can get the hell out of there!

I'm forever getting in the wrong queue, aul ones are usually the worst offenders but kids can be just as bad with 'have I got enough for this, what about this...'

Speaking of queuing I hate whenever I'm In a busy shop and I can literally smell someone breathing down the back of my neck and stepping on the back of my heels

I work in an office with a woman who is constantly clearing her throat, ok so to be fair it could be a medical thing but it doesn't stop it grinding on my brain

I hate when I go to the bank where they have double security doors and just as the door behind you is closing so you can open the other one someone comes in behind you and presses the button and another one and another one until were like sardines in a tin

I hate when I'm in work and a customer rings with a complaint or query, I listen intently and wait for them to finish and as soon as I begin to respond I get 'your not listening' I've been fnuckin listening to your tripe let me speak - really boils my piss

Recruitnent Agencies who hide behind 'Private Number' when cold calling you. And no, in general it is never a good time to ring me at my desk during work hours. You have my email address so learn how to be discreet and use it.

I don't answer the phone when whoever it is doesn't show their number. No exceptions, and if I had my way that would be illegal.

Yea, but there's always the chance it could be an important call from the bank or something. This particular agency (Morgan McKinley) are clowns - was talking to one lad in there a few months ago and he was telling me how active the market was, then he put his colleague on the phone and she was telling me things are quiet.

If they would have business with me, then they may identify themselves. This applies to everyone from my mother to J.P. Morgan's leathery ould arse himself.

If it's an "important" call from a bank, you would probably be better off not to take the call.

Ok, by Bank i meant FAI ticket office...

CrowdedHouse

I owed a company in the UK €480, but they inadvertently charged me 480 GB pounds - in fairness they copped this before I did, they worked it out and decided to refund the difference in GB P-between the toing and froing with exchange rates etc it has cost me about €7 more than it should and it annoyed me !

Hope it's okay to start the new thread (not sure if mods have to do it).

I posted this right at the end of the last thread so just carrying it over as it has me driven demented.

I have a question on this subject.

I work with 2 women who eat their food like toddlers. I mean eating with their mouth wide open, jiggling hot food around in their mouth, talking and laughing with their mouth full of food.

It makes my skin crawl! I actually had to leave my lunch without finishing it and leave the office because I just couldn't sit there listening to them.

Would it be rude of me to say something to them? They both sit next to each other and are quite friendly so I was thinking of saying something to them together. Can I?

(my first thread on boards :cool: )

that would make me sick too.

I have a question. HOW CAN ONE BECOME A FETAC EXTERNAL AUTHENTICATOR. WHAT QUALIFICATIONS DOES ONE NEED AND HOW DO WE GET THEM. I AM AN IT TUTOR, AND HAVE EXPERIENCE AS AN INTERNAL VERIFIER.

I have a question about FETAC too. Why are morons being given places on courses that they don't have the ability to do? I know of 2 people doing Communication courses, neither can actually spell communication. It's a ploy by the under 21's(some of them) to get 188 euro a week and it's a bloody disgrace.

It makes far more sense to put them on literacy and numeracy courses so that they might actually develop some skills that would make them employable.

They don't get 188 for going on course anymore. They might get an increase but not to 188 AFAIK and they dropped the "Book Allowance". It does nothing for Live Register figures to have people on Back to Education.

Advantages of Back to Education:-

1. You can work for 20hours
2. You get a free course
3. You see an increase in your Jobseeker's Allowance.
4. Your money goes into the bank
5. You don't have to sign on

Though I agree, people should be put on suitable course. DSP are to busy trying to change things but have failed to make changes so that they can advise people as to what they should do in terms of work and education.

when you go toilet, number 1s or 2s and there's no toilet paper.

When you produce a number 2 that just won't flush away,particularly in a relative's house, and you have to make a 'firemans blanket', folded sheets of toilet paper, and gently lay it over the faecal

Get a clean knife, take some butter, spread it on the toast. Instead of rub the knife in butter, rub it on toast, realise you don't have enough and repeat.

Lies, some roundabouts are treacherous! There is one up by me and there is forever accidents on it! 3 lane roundabout, best thing they ever done was put lights on it and its still dodgey!
