Couples dressing the same !

Myself and the OH were on a break in Westport a couple of years ago, we inadvertently (honest!) and unnoticed by use both had a red jumper and jeans on, the barman in the hotel gave us a fair slaggin' over it

When you're walking straight down a street and somebody walks out of a shop or something, doesn't look around at all and cut right across you...making you having to put the brakes on to avoid a collision...and they stroll off oblivious to what they did.

Also, when walking behind somebody/a group of people, and they suddenly stop and block the footpath...making you having to take action to avoid a collision.

People who think whatever you bought is not up-to-scratch and make it known. e.g.

I bought a new printer, was a bargain and a good name!
Is it laser or inkjet?
Inkjet...
Oh, laser are much better.

I got a new desktop!
Core i7?
No Core i3, more than enough for me.
Oh, I'd've got an i7.

I got a new tablet, love it!
iPad?
No, it's a Samsung.
They're alright, but you can't beat an iPad really.

:rolleyes:

:eek: That's a horrible way to talk about any child. Ffs, Don't they get enough abuse without adults throwing personal insults around?
That comment made me feel a bit sick.

PACKING.

I am excited about going away.
And it doesn't take much time but I am just not a fan of it. Hello procrastination... :mad:

Ridiculous price hikes. I used to go to Debenhams for threading. In December it cost me 50 euro or so. Today when I looked at the price it was 75 euro. Needless to say I didn't pay it. I looked around Limerick and found a salon that did exactly the same thing for 36 euro.

75 yoyo's for threading. :eek: Get the fcuk outta here. :eek:

I thought forking out 20 yoyos was a lot.

Unless I was getting my hoo-hah threaded, I wouldn't pay that much money! And let's face it, no one is going to get their hoo-hah threaded EVER!!

Fecking hell, didn't they get the memo that the celtic tiger is long over?!:eek:

BO again. I passed a young lad this morning and the stench of it turned my stomach. He must have been aware of it as he was flapping his jacket open. Jesus, have a wash already.

2nd gripe is touch screens. I hate them with a vengence. I had to pick up a parcel from the local Parcel Motel earlier on and I had to enter the information about 6 times, as it(not me) was either not registering the digits or was entering the digits twice. My husband keeps trying to persuade me that I need a touch screeen phone, no way in Hell I'm getting one of those. I need a new one this week and I think it'll be a Nokia 300 or whatever the number is. I don't have the patience for touch screens.

Totally agree about touch phones, I can't handle them at all I think I suffer from 'fat finger syndrome' I remember borrowing my mates touch screen phone to write a text and for some idiotic reason I was stuck with the numbers menu and couldn't get into the letters menu. I handed it back to him frothing and saying, "Please take this from me before I embed it into a wall."

€75??? What are you threading, your head? That's mental!

I bought an epilator, I epilate everything except my eyebrows. It is unbelievably painful.

Unpacking is even worse.

Shops that try to push some crap on you that you dont need when you are at the till.

Every time I go to Maplin they try to sell you some crappy screwdriver for €1 that looks like it will dissolve in the fresh air. Or the petrol station that always asks you if you want 2 snickers bars for €1.20

Yes, or barging along the footpath with no thought of the fact that others are actually entitled to use it. No we must all jump out of the barger's way!
I was walking down Grafton St one evening ages ago, when someone barged out of a shop and barged into me. Instead of saying sorry, she muttered something like 'oh for God's sake '... I said 'exactly'. I think she is looking at me yet.

When there are loads of people waiting to get off the bus and there is one fuucking slow idiot at the bottom of the stairs. So everone inches along the top of the bus for ages and then all of a sudden, they all have to start hurrying up and there are big gaps in the alighting times, resulting in the bus having to spend an extra ten seconds at a stop. Was trying to figure it out this morning and I think the likely explanation is that nobody on the lower deck will let anyone from the stairs out. Fuuckers. The two lanes should merge imo.

Your Hoo-hah:D a new one

On TV, Robbie Williams told the story of his wife giving birth, he was observing at "the business end". He said prior to the birth, his wife had "a lovely foo", but when watching her have the baby, it was like watching his favourite pub burn down:D

IT consultants who come into a busy workplace where people are doing various things and fcuking take over; shouting into mobile phones out on the corridors, talking at the tops of their voices in shared offices etc etc. There's one in the room next door at the moment and he hasn't shut up for the last hour.

Over-filling my Zippo. The facial gardening aspect is however, non-deliberate.

Next time I must remember to have a few large drinks and half a dozen soluble solpadeine before I go in. I always forget just how painful it is. I recommended it to someone last year and she texted me the day after she'd had it done to ask me what she'd done to make me hate her so much:D

The term "Non Nationals"

There is no such thing as a non-national. Everybody has nationality for somewhere.

The correct term is either Non Irish Nationals or Foreign Nationals.

Indeed. I love being asked if I'm an Illegal Alien by serious-looking Americans in uniforms at airports. One of these days I'll go, "Silence, Terran! You won't be so haughty when you're labouring in the Tylium mines 14 miles below the surface, being slowly digested by the Sarlaac! <To travelling companion> Come along, Ryvvtr - already these cattle have witnessed more than is prescribed for them!"
