    Left a important letter on our kitchen counter as I needed to get a stamp for it.
    Got the stamp yesterday, but wasn't able to find the letter. Looked everywhere, even rooted through our bins with a pair of rubber gloves - which wasn't peasant, but no, it's fcuking dissappeared into thin air.

    The wife's crazy, spoilt 5 year old nephew was running around our house for hours on the evening it went missing, causing mayhem (as usual) and being totally indulged and left unmonitored by his mother (as usual).

    I know the little fcuker went off with it, I fcuking know.

    I just can't prove it.

    Jesus - he drives me ballistic.

    Short bloody notice. I get a text at 8am to ask did I get an email about doing a media presentation at 9am.

    Clearly, I did not.

    Actually more annoying is failures in communication and now I have to wing it as I haven't anything prepared! :mad:

    Now get off the internet and get your head in gear :-)

    How did you get a text at 8am and post about it here at 7:59?
    That's not how time works.

    My little OCD secret is out... :pac:

    I keep my watch, clocks, phones, ten minutes ahead of normal time, so I'm always punctual for appointments :o

    Mrs. _Bap has our clocks set at mad times that only she understands. One is ten minutes ahead, one 15 behind, another 5 minutes out (not sure if ahead or behind).
    God bless my phone and watch and the little clock on the UPC tv box. It's the only thing on the UPC box that is guaranteed to work.

    My annoyance today is that I can feel my gout coming back and there is nothing I can do about it to prevent it now. although, a couple of days on super strong steroids and the couch does sound appealling.

    BoomBap try eating strawberries. My Mum's friend is prone to gout and was told to eat strawberries everyday he hasn't had a flair up for a few years now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,639 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    Ughhhhh, the heating is on on the bus. It's like a frickin Swedish sauna in here, and not even remotely cold outside.

    Disgusting!!

    I do that too, but then I remember that I've done it and make allowances for the difference :( Am I not smart enough to outsmart myself or too smart to be outsmarted by myself? :confused:

    Just back from the toilets.
    Upon entering the cubicle I was greeted by the sight of a ginormous sh;te and copious lengths of sh;t encrusted toiled paper in the cistern.

    Is it that difficult to flush the toilet after you. Is it really that much trouble to push a fcuking button? Is your day going to be massively inconvenienced by the 0.2seconds it will take to flush your sh;t away into the Dublin sewers so that somebody else doesn't have to see and smell your 8 hour bowel-brewed indian takeaway from last night?

    I hate that I have to work with someone so obviously disgusting!

    I don't even know who they are, so I'm going to hate everybody today, just to be on the safe side.

    False hope man, because you know they're all 10 minutes ahead of time so you know you've always got 10 minutes :)

    I hate that I'm knackered during the day and then at night I'm wide awake :(

    Blueberries and Cranberries are supposed to be good as well.
    I just can't stomach berries, i'm a wierdo when it comes to food. Maybe I might just have to blend them up and force them down.

    That is not the most annoying thing about ATMs.....and for a nerd like me, I can know exactly why that happens. The most annoying thing for me about ATMs is that I know too much about them, I know by the noises the devices make what is going to happen next.

    • This coffee is a bit too hot, I'll just leave it cool down for a minute.
    • 10 minutes later: This coffee is going cold, better drink it fast.
    • another 10 minutes later: Damn, I need another coffee, that went too quick.

    And this is how my day goes....

    Do you know what's getting right up my left nostril these days? Poverty Porn. Ooh, we're clever, we are. We sit in nine days a week in our overcoats, eating nothing but hundredweight bags of tofu from Liddlyaldy and commuting to work on a Space-Hopper. We cancelled the telephones and TV and entertain ourselves with ghost stories.

    Do not encourage the Race to the Bottom, people. Rather than encourage the asshole Gummint by happily handing over your hard-earned and then feeling all smug about learning to live on fcuk-all, I swear to fcuk one of these days I'm going to buy a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado and a Stetson the size of a football field, and I'm going to drive that bastard at seven miles per gallon while I munch on baby venison burgers with extra whale-oil, up to Leinster House to hand-deliver my property tax in cash in an envelope lined with cowshít and a big, fat "Fcuk You!!" written on it in crayon! :mad:

    Usually this kind of crap comes out of people with iPhones and full sky packages. You aren't broke, you just spend all your money and stuff you don't need.

    Would you like a receipt for this transaction?

    Are you sure you would like a receipt for this transaction?

    Please think about the environment and dispose of this receipt carefully.

    Oh wait, this machine is actually out of paper so we cannot give you a receipt. Would you like to continue anyway?

    Are you sure? Remember we cant give you a receipt!

    Even worse are people who are too poor to save, but do it anyway!

    "I can't go out this month, I'm so broke after paying bills and putting money in my savings that I might have to borrow some money"

    Wait... you can't afford to save, but do it anyway and then expect people to lend you money even though you have a ton of it in another account? Go fcuk yourself!

    Waving back at someone who wasn't actually waving at you in the first place.

    "Hi, oh, no, wait, just fixing my hair..."

    Full beards.
    Simpletons walking around with full beards. What the actual **** is it about? Is it because Conor McGregor has a full beard? It works for him. He's deadly. He also wears nice clothes, tailored suits, and can pull it off. The full bearded idiots in Portlaoise though? They're walking around in Nike airs and pennies best. seriously. Check yourselves before you wreck yourselves.

    I was crossing the road this morning and I straight up walked into the back of a car that was stopped in traffic. The length of time it takes me to wake up in the morning is annoying.

    I don't know where the trend came from but on most people it just looks stupid. And they do the whole "Real men have beards" thing, which is just as annoying as "Real women have curves".
