Fair enough, and I probs should stop derailing.

But I was burned too many times in school by the whole "I don't know Glen, can you go to the toilet?" thing

And it's broken my brain as an adult.

You mean you weren't saying 'an bhfuil cead agam dul amach go dtí an leithreas mas e do thoil é?'

"Forward me the invite!"

No, I will not forward you the "invite", you unlettered, buck-toothed gobadaw. I shall forward you the invitation, which will serve to invite you. Now go away, before I replace you with a very small shell-script.

My daughter gave me a bollicking in the school yard this morning. It was deserved in fairness, but have a 6 year old diva put me in my place was annoying.

I folded up her toy buggy with a teddy bear in it intead of taking the bear out first.

My ex said something similar when he 'held up' the shop with a monster baguette/french stick. Gas lad, glad I'm still friends with him

TA Smirking teenagers in the 3mobile store the other day, sniggering at a friend with dyslexia who asked for assistance with the top-up machine. ''It's self explanatory'' He says ''You just press the buttons right in front of you''. If I'd been there...grrrrr

And you're the worst in the World apparently if you come out with something like "What are you sniggering at, you pimply, gangly, weird-smelling little shit??" :pac:

Yup, cliques belong in the playground, not a professional workplace environment. It happens on Boards too. Some people never grow up.

Aaaand they've all gone out for coffee... Lucky to see them again before 12 when it'll be almost lunchtime.. :pac:

I know. I'd have pointed out that the instructions on a bottle of Clearasil are also self-explanatory but they apparently haven't mastered that yet.

Fee paying Dublin school.

Speaking Irish would have gotten you kicked off the rugby team.

2 kids pissed themselves in junior/senior infants because they couldn't remember how to ask in Irish.
Wish I could remember some of the important stuff that happened in school...like the lessons.

Not always, but often.

My irish boss starts most orders with "you may" makes me want to punch her harder, I dont need her permission to do my job, even variations on that job. SHE is not the queen!

But that's different! Her telling you 'You may' makes her sound like she has a severe superiority complex (I got a mental image of her making a sweeping hand gesture, 'Let them eat cake', kind of thing).

Asking someone 'May I have' is showing respect for the person you're addressing and not taking his/her work for granted.

That's how it sounds to me, anyway.

MEN(well one in particular) who complain that the distance caused by my job are impacting negatively on our "relationship", then lose their mind when they see the credit card bill for victoria's secret purchases, to offset said such issues.

**** Especially as MY part of that bill was already paid by the time it got to him.
