The office is freezing because Mr Open All the Windows has, shockingly, decided to open all the windows.

Some new guy has just started in the office and he is Mr Open All the Windows 2.0 :(:(

I'm going to have to start brining a hot water bottle to work at this rate.

Restaurants that don't set out a vegetarian option (and no stir fry veg as a f*cking afterthough don't count). Are we living in the dark ages? The last time it happened I asked what the veg option was and the response was, "we can make something up for you" - make something up? Listen here you little backward f*cktards, its not up to me to invent something for you to make. You should have thought about this beforehand. Secondly, please don't treat me like I have some kind of handicap because of my dietary preference. I am not something to just accommodate.

And then to add to the TA people are constantly accusing vegetarians of making a scene or announcing their vegetarianism wherever they dine - well guess what sailor, if you don't have anything suitable on your menu you leave me with no choice but to mention it!

It also gets me worried about cross contamination, if there are no provisions made for us except on demand, then how do I know you don't use the same utensils/ oils etc when cooking a meat free dish.

It's easier to stay at home or just have the salad and a bottle of shiraz.

Surprised that you wouldn't always check the menu beforehand.

I do everywhere I go and I'm an omnivore.

I suggest a flamethrower - you'd kill two birds with one stone.

I'm having such an unproductive day in work!

The shoulder strap snapped on my ancient and very heavy strimmer while I was using it. Massive bruise on my leg where it walloped me. Fecked the whole lot into the garage in a rage!

Zero choice in this instance as it is in the bog hole of nowhere and it was a family do. I could hardly tell everyone to pick somewhere else with ninety year old Gran in tow.

Should have packed an egg sandwich

Missing my train by 1 minute this morning so I had to wait 1 hour for the next one!!!

Some woman decides to watch a stupid basketball match on her phone without headphones but with sound!!!!

retro:electro

Made meatballs for dinner, got sauce everywhere- in my hair, on my slippers and on the dog.

Ol' Donie

Went for a walk in the woods with the dog, and got lost.

I wasn't finding new route through an unexplored forest, I was walking along a marked trail, only a couple of kms long, having looked at the map before I started. And it was a f*ckin loop back to my car.

And I got f*ckin lost. How is that even possible?

(On the plus side jesus, there are some lovely, lovely places in the Dublin mountains. Only discovered this recently.)

Loafing Oaf

Our water is out all day, there's dirty dishes strewn around the kitchen. The kind of TA that could get nontrivial very fast...

Rubberlegs

The tongue on my runner keeps going to one side.
It is hammering down rain on what was my nearly dry washing, and I"m just watching, no intentions of getting soaked.

Oranage2

Washed clothes but there must have been a little tissue in a picket, now all my washed clothes have white fluff everywhere !!!

I hope it wasn't a dark wash :rolleyes:

Gave up on strimming (see earlier post) and decided to use the mower instead seeing as it's still sunny and dry up here. All going great until I was turning the mower around and backed up to a bush. Well, I thought it was just a bush but there was loads of nettles at the bottom.......and I was wearing shorts. Now I have a bruise on the front of one leg and nettle stings on the back of both legs. It's just not my day :mad:

I thought we had cornflakes but when I went to get them we have none and I had to have weetabix.

Can someone tell Joe Duffy and other RTE presenters they work for a national station

Caller I was getting the bus to town, da airport, mugging on Mary street, taxi man picked up a fare on Parnell st bla bla

My TA is RTE and callers list off a place and immediately assume everyone knows it's Dublin. And anyway it's not a Dublin only program!

CrowdedHouse

I got out a new facecloth this morning. The label was attached with one of those plastic 'wires', taking the label off I pulled a thread out of the facecloth. It's only a cheap one but I'm irrationally annoyed!

Loafing Oaf

My ears keep blocking up with wax.:mad: I know chronic medical issues don't come much more benign but I wish there was something I could do preventively. My Dad had to get out of bed to answer the door to the postman this morning even though I was already up because I couldn't hear the doorbell.

Ah you had the misfortune to listen to it on a bad day. Yesterday, for example, we had a caller whose cat had all its teeth extracted while on a stay in boarding kennels as its owner holidayed abroad. Now I'm not saying it's trivial, but it's hardly a matter of national interest.

TA I'm having an item collected by courier sometime today except I don't know what time and I'll have to stay in for the day until they ring - and there's no excuse for me not to do that pile of ironing in the corner

Let my brows grow out and now they are messy

I have a blister on one of my fingers and somehow, every single thing I do throughout the day results in something smacking off that one tiny 5cm area

The hipster woman in Lidl the other day with her two sprogs and suffering husband, announcing to everyone in the store that their kids are on a healthy diet. "Did you get the blue berries? Also the raspberries? Did you make sure you put in strawberries? What's that sweetie? Oh Fintan wants extra blueberries this week. Keano do you want extra berries too?" - all this shouted at her husband from a distance of twenty feet so that we could all see her giving her kids f*cking berries.

TA'd at spice quantities in recipes given in teaspoons, and spices that come in jars you can't get a teaspoon into.

I went to breakfast with a pessimist,
Apart from trivially annoying me with his doom and gloom he has left me with a dose of the blues.

Boom_Bap

Arrived to the car in the car park after work yesterday and there was some pr*ck parked right up beside my car on the driver side so I couldn't get into the car the traditional way.
I had many rage filled thoughts of what I was going to do to the car or owner whilst I was climbing into the driver seat from the passenger seat. But then I realised that they probably knew they were a w@nker anyway and done nothing.

I have to work with one of these people .. he is so wrapped up in negativity. :mad:

People who get in the way because they are walking slowly, in the middle of the footpath, while looking at their phones.
