    1 of our cats is cheating on us with at least 1 neighbour. He's only just showed up after being gone since 6am and isn't hungry enough to eat the food with his medication in it.:mad:

    I hate to break it to ya, but all Cats are the sluts of the animal world.

    Our 4 were all abandoned and 3 just showed up in our garden 1 by one over the years, 1 was left in the car park of an apartment complex when her humans moved away and didn't want her anymore. I think once they've been let down by humans once they like to have a back up home waiting. :D

    TA that when I'm trying to read important emails on my work iPhone, I can read the first sentence in the inbox (preview) view, but when I actually go into the email to read it, it can take minutes for the email to load up to read!!! And rather than displaying what text is available, I get to look at a spinning loading icon!

    It's only a bloody 2 sentence email (response to a previous email anyway)!!

    Still trying to figure out why I was placed where I am. I've no head for this area, no head for it. I said in the interview I don't have experience.
    My name took 6-days to fix and with no apology either! They messed up the spelling on my name ; I then get told, yes told, "sur it's only two letters swapped around, won't that be okay!" How many ways is there to say 'NO!'? How many ways is there to say 'Only one way to spell me name and that's the way I completed my application form and the contract forms'. No you don't get to start making up names because you screwed up when copying over. No apology and 6-days to fix <- sounds more deliberate than accidental to me right now.

    I despair at times,

    Surely I can't be alone in thinking Bloomsday is a load of old horse sh*t? I can't decide which is worse, the dreary poetry reading for Yeats' anniversary last week or the ridiculous dramatics of Bloomsday.

    When you have to sign something in a shop and the girl takes a pen out of her ponytail or bun. I feel weird holding the pen. I know it's a great place to put it and it never gets lost, but meh

    Doomsday keeps senator Norris out of politics for a day. That can't be bad!

    The type of twat who dresses up for Bloomsday is one of the same types of people who drove Joyce to leave the country permanently. What they really want is to have an Edwardian fancy dress party in the style of Brideshead Revisited for which this (non) occasion gives them an excuse.

    So true. The ultimate manipulators. I remember in my Leaving Cert year chilling out one Saturday in an old flames gaff. The family cat was friendly enough when it suited of course. Anyway, the Dad of the house comes home at lunchtime. The cat hops of the couch pleading for food and promptly gets feed.

    To make a long story short, over the next 4-5 hours, the Mum, brother and younger sister all came home and ended up feeding the cat. Because on every occasion, the cat leapt from the couch pleading to be fed.

    That afternoon, that sneaky manipulator of a cat, dined on a selection of cat food, freshly caught trout and salmon. So when he finished stuffing down his last feed, I gave him an appropriate look. Of course being a cat, he returned the compliment and left the room. It was a fatal mistake on my part. Because when I went to collect my jacket from my girlfriends room, it was drenched in cat piss.

    It's important to ensure from the start that you know that the feline overlords are in charge. Pissing on your coat is his way of marking you as his bitch letting you know he considers you part of his family.:D

    2 things
    walked into work without make up just looking like ****.

    "are you ok? Are you ill? You look very sick"

    No I'm just not wearing makeup.

    Then the CEO walks in. "Hi Pew how are you?"

    Every time he sees me he catches me on a day where I have no makeup, dress casually and look like I haven't showered for days.

    Every time he has ****ing seen me.

    **** sake

    Chatty taxi drivers.
    Got in to the airport last night after a long day. Wrecked tired.
    Taxi driver decides to try to convert me to his Marxist ways....it was a long 40 minute journey.

    The way Carzone always sorts search results "By Description (A-Z)". Why would I want my results in alphabetical order? Am I a big fan of the letter A or something??
    Sort the result by price you idiots.

    There are fewer things I hate more than making small talk, it is just painful and you know that the other person is as disinterested as you are. I despise going to the hairdresser because I'm usually there for at least two hours getting my hair dyed and I know that it is going to be two hours of tedious conversations about nothing, that's why I buy 'Take a Break' (there's no chance I'm looking at fashion magazines for two hours) before I go in to the salon and I try to bury my nose in it before anyone can strike up a conversation.

    :confused:

    you can tweak your search. for example to look for Toyota only...or even further specify "Corolla", then price, mileage etc.

    If I see one more "Find out if you are an introvert or an extrovert!" quiz online, I swear to god!!

    Newsflash: NO ONE CARES!

    People trying to define themselves using an internet quiz, jesus wept.

    That's my TA.

    I'll tell you something better, I saved that feckers life. A neighbour down my road, had planned on drowning their six kittens. I couldn't stomach such cruelty, so I found a home for all six kittens.

    I'm not even a cat fan, I'm a dog man. And that's the gratitude I got, him píssing on my jacket months later :(. Now if my Germans Shepherds could read (and I suspect they can), I'd probably be looked on with contempt, stripped of pack leader status and cast out.

    This new thing on Facebook and Instagram where everyone now thinks they are some kind of style icon/fashion blogger and post pics of their outfits all the time. I really do not care about your €13.99 New Look skirt please spare me.

    Doctor's waiting rooms, hate them! The most anxiety producing and impatience-filled places in the world. Everyone has to pick a spot on the wall to stare at so that they can avoid awkward eye contact - or flick through the out-dated magazines or look at their phones. People cough and tut and twitch their legs abd tap their fingers and toes. The doctors and receptionists can be heard talking in the hallway and everyone is dying for someone to come in and call their name. The room is stuffy beyond belief and claustrophobic and when the door is finally opened everyone leans forward to gulp for the fresh air that comes in. They glare jealously at the people who get called. It's actually a relief to get out of there and make small talk with the doctor :) .

    Trying to watch a show online only the player keeps halting and doing the annoying circle of insanity thing in the middle of the picture. If this doesn't stop then I'm just not going to watch Humans after all :( I've tried reloading and pausing it for a few minutes but the same sh1te keeps happening. I just shouted aloud at the screen, I rarely do that! And I live alone and haven't spoken to anyone else yet today so the sound of my own shouty voice just shocked me.

    T to the m-f'in A!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,073 ✭✭✭Rubberlegs


    I hate stupid articles like 100 Books you must read, or such like. Fair enough I may have read some, but I'll pick the books I want to read thanks, and if I read the article it would only make me not want to read any of them just to be awkward. I'm not going to feel devastated if I don't read them! It's the same with stupid videos on Facebook "guaranteed to make you smile / cry/ whatever". I won't watch them because I won't feel something because I'm told I will. I'm feeling fierce stubborn today :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,434 ✭✭✭Robsweezie


    Heinz beans snap pots. love the beans out the tin, but these snap pots never have enough sauce inside meaning the beans are often dry, hard and bland, even after the microwave. tins all the way. TA further that someone brought them home today instead of the tinned beans I like. im not even properly annoyed, just like 'meh, don't like them, prefer the other ones''.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,341 ✭✭✭miezekatze


    It's been mentioned before, but those ads on spotify sure are annoying! I used to listen to the 'radio' on it but they never seem to change the songs on the channels I used. I don't want to listen to the same songs over and over again.

    I've run out of bananas so I have to go shopping tonight :( I'm in a really bad mood today and just want to go to bed, but I'd be even more annoyed about not having any bananas tomorrow! I may just have to check out the dessert aisle too while I'm there.

    The fact that Ireland (the south) is the only country in the world where Heineken is sold on tap and in cans/bottles and it's only 4.3%,
    And everywhere else it's 5% and doesn't actually taste too bad, in Ireland it (the 4.3%) tastes like pi$$.
    There are a few places that sell 5%, but they are in the minute minority.

    What was the logic at Heineken with that one?

    "We must produce a weaker version of our lager for those Irish, cos we know they aren't big drinkers".
