My boyfriend is out running around the garden after someone's cat with a rat in its mouth. My nerves! We don't even have a cat and if he touches that rat he will never be allowed near me again

Why is he chasing the rat? I think that cat deserves a reward for keeping the vermin away. My husband is always 'rescuing' rodents from our cats, they're only doing what they were intended to do.

Turning over from a great, high energy, fantastic all-Ireland to to this Ireland match

Missing the All-Ireland because I was out in a mates house putting together their new Windows 8 desktop setup

I was down underneath her desk at one stage and got my clothes covered in dust (I didn't mind), but t'was a bit scary when her mum started smacking my ass to get the dust off (a bit wtf, but said I'd best just pretend not to notice! :pac:).

Trivially annoying that I'm stuffed and barely able to move now as I'm full up on tea and biscuits, fit now to be just rolled out the front door!

You really don't need to worry about rats. It's the potentially fatal diseases they carry, that's what you want to worry about.

People who put a status that's a question every few hours that could be typed into google to find an answer faster and saving yourself from looking stupid.

Since when has it come acceptable to close a work mail with just the first letter of your first name, this is starting to annoy me, how difficult is it to write your full name?


Hi Mary,

Lets meet this afternoon to discuss the weekly sales figures.

It's even worse when your boss does it.

The fact that even though it's early September, Christmas advertising is already creeping in. The tins of biscuits and sweets are already in supermarkets. An post have an advert in their windows that gives the impression of being Christmas baubles with a bead chain. I'm seeing it everywhere and it really annoys me.

Second trivial annoyance, waiting for the builder to show up.

Third annoyance, the horrible abcess under my arm that kept me awake most of the night.

Fourth annoyance is that the painkillers I have give me nightmares so I try to avoid taking them, so I ended up awake most of the night and now I could go back to bed, but I can't since the builer is due at some point.

People who drive fast cars, really really slowly. I was stuck behind a yummy mummy in a Porsche Macan this morning. She was driving at <40km/hr. :mad:

My girlfriend came home with a selection box on Friday. I ate it anyway despite my grumbling about it only being September.

The fact that all this sh´t starts so early makes me really hate Christmas by the time it comes around. And it's a pity because it should be a nice holiday.

There should be a law prohibiting advertising of Christmas stuff until November first.

During the boom a hardware shop near where I live had outdoor Christmas lights up (and lighting, complete with trees) from the first week in OCTOBER! :mad: "Quickly, buy lots of crap you don't need!"

Quite so. It really does knock some of the joy out of it, even for people like me who love that time of year. I'd say ban all that crapola until December 1st, even.

The problem is, selection boxes tend to be such good value that they're hard not to pick up :pac:

Exactly, and the whole 3 month hype often makes it feel anti-climatic. It creates and ideal that most peoples Christmases just don't live up to.

All those happy clappy ads of ice skating, glamorous parties and families conga-ing around the Christmas tree in lovely jumpers...whereas in reality it's a day of falling asleep in front of Home Alone while discharging foul *fowl?* turkey farts into the upholstery.... :pac:

I'd love to go to a glamorous Christmas party. From around October onwards all the clothes shop will have their "add some sparkle to your festive wardrobe" ad campaigns going on and I have nowhere to go that would require anything glittery or sparkly

Out for a family cycle yesterday. I was cycling behind the 6 year old boy, it was his first time cycling on a busy road so I was behind giving direction. I saw a wasp fly towards me, it appeared to fly past me. Negative. It landed behind my ear. I had a decision to make, leae the wasp, or swat him off.
If I swotted him off me, I could then have an angry wasp, get his angry wasp mates and have a free for all on me. I decided to leave him and see if he would fly away, i was too busy anyway looking out for the boy.

But the f*cker stung me. So I mashed the f*cker into the area behind me ear and then he rolled off. All this whilst still cycling and paying attention to the boy ahead. We were also on a flyover bridge, approaching the top. More decisions to make. Do I call for him to stop and ruin the fun of free-wheeling down the other side of the bridge, or continue. There is also a roundabout at the bottom of the bridge, so I decided to continue with the agony behind my ear and on the lookout for f*cker wasp wasp mates.
Like a boss, I sucked it up, we were near our destination anyway, and I would look after myself when I got there.

We arrive at the destination, I leap of the bike, run to the missus who is busy unloading the other child from the bike seat and start roaring 'Squeeze my effin ear, squeeze the pain awaaaaaayyyy'. She looks at me like I'm a lunatic, she didn't see the wasp incident, I thought she had. She was confused, I was in pain and doing a little dance. She squeezed the sting out. The pain remains. Still dodgy today.

TLDR; F*ck wasps

Substitute Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" on Kindle for "Home Alone", and sprouty farts mingled with four-star Tawny Port vapour for turkey farts, and you have it. :pac::pac::pac:

I've got another complaint. Every weekend when my husband is enjoying a few drinks at home he points out that he could never give up booze, he's not a heavy drinker. It really winds me up that he's sympathising with me because I can't drink anymore, but it pisses me off to hear him saying it while he's drinking and I'm sitting there with a glass of pineapple juice. :mad:

Not so trivial. There's a really creepy local guy with a dog who used to try to talk to me on my way to work in the mornings. He has some sort of mental disorder and seems to have trouble identifying social boundaries. I'm not prejudiced against anyone with mental health issues, it's just something about the guy is really off. I had to change the route I took to work.

Anyway, I forgot rice for dinner so I had to go to the corner shop and he was following me back, so I turned around and looked at him and he took himself off in a different direction, he doesn't live around here so there was no reason for him to be behind me all the way from the shop. What annoys me is how people say guys like him are harmless. Yeah, right up until the moment they stop being harmless and attack someone.

On the topic of waiting to hear back about a job, i made it to round two of the interview stages for a job i was going for in the last few weeks, as part of the process i had to create a web page based on a design i was given by the company i was interviewing for.

I sat in and spent the best part of two days working on this to show off my skills. I had to bring this along to the second round of interview and the two people interviewing me both seemed very impressed and i left feelign the interview went really well.

After, as i was leaving i asked when i should expect to hear back. The interview was on a Tuesday and i asked would it be the following week, i was assured i'd hear back by the end of the week.

Come Monday evening still no word, on tuesday i emailed the recruitment agent who put me forward for the position and he said he was having a call with the company and would get back to me that afternoon, he didn't.

Wednesday lunch time I GOT A FUCKING EMAIL, and not even from the guys who interviewed me, from the fucking agent to tell me i was unsuccessful! Now don't get me wrong if there was someone better qualified or suited for the position fair dues, but after taking two days off work, trekking over to the complete other side of the city and spending a weekend stuck in working on something for the guys interviewing me the least the ignorant pricks could have done is had the decency to give me a call themselves to let me know!

I have literally had to use every ounce of restraint in my body to stop myself from sending a highly unprofessional, extremely wordy email to the main guy interviewing me to let him know how i feel.

Job hunting is stressful enough without ignorant fuckers being plain ignorant!

Ughhhhh..... goosfraba!
