We were supposed to have a large group in for dinner at work at around 8:00. They arrived at quarter to 11. we literally had everything prepared and had to wait and do nothing until they arrived. At least they were good fun and no hassle.

Stupid spelling mistakes that totally undermine whatever is being written about.

To paraphrase the BBC: It's better to be second and correct than be first and wrong.

Heartburn, I'm 99% sure I'm turning into a fire breathing dragon.

Garages and their gangster ways ...and my inability to stand up to them.

Had to get my rear light replaced this morning after a minor accident yesterday. Quoted €35 beforehand, grand so I said take it in now and sort it. Handed back the keys..that's €50 so please. Grrr!

When people don't say "I love you" back. My family members only say it back once in a blue moon. I still feel all rejected when they don't say it, even though it's always been this way. We're not exactly lovey dovey. Well, I am but they're not .

"Good luck today, mam. Love you x."
"OK."

"Happy birthday bro, I love you."
"Thanks sis."

GRR!

Nobody ever seems to say I love you too or even goodbye on TV shows or in films either. It's usually just one person who says it and the person they're talking to completely blanks them and ends the coversation. It's really annoying. I feel like shouting "Say it back!!" at the screen .

Having to repeatedly get out of bed to stop the kitten from rooting through the bin. As soon as she knows I'm coming over, she strolls away pretending she wasn't doing anything. Grrrrrr she knows not to be in the bin but does it anyway!

I feel your pain, cats! They are a law unto themselves. My cat keeps waking us every couple of hours, he is worse during the summer because it gets bright outside so early, we let him out but then he just comes back in and decides he wants to play with us/ have a cuddle/ wants something to eat at 4am

Then when we get up in the morning he is straight into the bed and he naps for most of the day. :rolleyes:

Irish people in General are not great at that, unless we have a few on board.

I've been working from home that past couple of mornings.

Yesterday I heard a ruffling in the post box flap yoke and seen that someone just posted something for John Lyons TD in my letter box.
I have a clear sign on it that says 'No Junk Mail'.
I grabbed the flyer for John Lyons TD and opened the door and returned it to the leaflet delivery guy and noted there was a No Junk Mail sign. The guy couldn't give a flying f*ck.

Today, just 10 minutes ago, another leaflet came in. Something for a painter.
I again opened the door and returned it. This time the guy (different to yesterday) tried to argue that 80% of the jobs he gets are from houses with the 'no Junk Mail' signs which he chooses to ignore and post in anyway. A$shole, I think he realised what an as$hole like statement he made and walked away.

Trivially annoyed that it's my birthday and I ate so much food that I feel sick now, and it's not even half one

I'm supposed to be going out for dinner this evening so I'll have to lay off the food until then!

The car park charges at hospitals. My dad is in hospital and under infection control measures. Only myself and my mother can visit and I think I've spent over €40 so far on car park charges (not including today) since Friday. Extortion!

Some hospitals offer a discount for relatives of patients, try talking to the head nurse of the ward to see if you can get one. I hope your dad gets better soon, the car park charges really are extortionate.

When you are just about to step out of the shower and you realise you have forgotten to bring a towel. Cue a cold wet run to get one!

When you get a sandwich at the deli counter with tomato inside and they have not removed the core of the tomato; the really hard bit in the middle.

I just emailed telecom with a complaint.

They will respond within ten working days....with a case number!!

Wtf? It could take up to two weeks for a telephone company to get me to acknowledge my complaint ?

Imagine if you recieved a payment demand from them, and replied in a similar fashion.

"Dear Telecom, yeah I know I owe you money, let me think about that for ten days or so, and then I will let you know whether I intend to pay or not"

I'm still on 'holidays' at the minute while my phone is out of action (yes, I depend that much on my phone, but that's a whole other story), and between the going stir crazy with having not planned for this little holiday, and the staring at the walls (that thankfully are not leopard print) and the humidity, I was dozing off here, and just at that point where I was half asleep but I thought someone was talking to me, and I'm chatting away, was conscious I was doing it, but thinking in my head "stop talking, stop, talking", took me a minute or two to wake up and actually stop talking!

Sooner I'm back to my normal routine, the better, this is just too weird and I don't like it

Back from a long holiday and feeling so sluggish and tired at work that I need another holiday!

There's one lecturer at college who I only see once in a while. I always seem to be wearing the same trousers/top combination on these occasions. TA she probably thinks I wear the same thing all the time.

Sometimes I don't understand what the words mean on "Write the first word that comes to mind..." thread so I can't join in.

Also when I say sometimes, I mean a lot of the time. It makes me feel so stupid!

Whenever one of those words come up I usually just reply with 'Dictionary'!

Just write the first word that enters your mind. For example, if I posted 'beans' you could probably reply with 'nourishing', 'snack' or even 'fart'. It's up to yourself really.

I procrastinate way too much! It's really getting out of hand. Take today's shopping trip for instance. I decided to use this free day to prepare and cook a really nice meal for my OH. I needed to go out and get ingredients.

This is what I wanted to do :

Get up, dress immediately.
Go out and get the shopping done.
Come back and get all of the prep work done for the meal.

This is what I've actually done :

Got up, stayed in pink spotty pyjamas and slippers.
Arsed around on Boards for a bit.
Read a bit of my book.
Decided to give my face a really good cleanse and put on moisturiser.
Checked Facebook.
Muttered angrily about two eejits who were shouting on the street.
Hunted for paper and a pen to make a shopping list (when I could easily have made a list on my phone) .
Found pen and paper, checked Boards.
Picked out what I wanted to wear and got dressed.
Wrote shopping list.
Arsed around on my phone for a bit.
Doodled hearts and flowers on the shopping list.
Went out, did shopping.
Came back, did half the prep work.
Made a late lunch.
Ate lunch while reading my book. Drank coffee while writing this unnecessarily long post.

Making constant eye contact with the same person every 5 minutes.... Awkward

This is my day if you substitute a few things. Free day so planned to be productive a get a good days study in for an exam in September.

Sub deep cleansing face mask for good cleanse.
Sub muttered angrily about noisy kids outside instead of 2 eejits.
Went to shop to buy new stationary. .absolutely no need.
Decided the current selection of coffee at home wasn't fit for study purpose so drove to supermarket to buy new jar.
I am now going to knuckle down.😯
