    My friend being an unbelievable flake and regurgitating every single conspiracy theory going. He just goes on..and on..and on. If anyone disputes it he gets huffy and rants about ''the man''.

    Here's a spider story from my bedroom 2014. Laying in bed minding my own business when I feel a sharp pain in my ear, then a pinching sensation and I can feel something moving inside my head, furiously trying to escape as it danced along my eardrum. I was freaking out and my housemate had to pour olive oil in my ear to drown it to stop the fluttering then I had to go to the out of hours dr to have the corpse removed from my ear. I'm terrified of them ever since and make no apology for killing them. When those people start up "oh how could you? It's so cruel!" I tell them come back to me when you have experienced having one trapped inside your head feeling it fluttering around and then we'll talk.

    TA accidently standing on one in my bare feet
    I feel you.

    I bought a jacket in another town an hours drive away a couple of weeks back. The first time I wore it I noticed a tiny scuff mark on the sleeve. I wasn't arsed to drive back with it, but it is all I can see when I put it on :(

    OK, this one has been grating my balls recently.

    Bad-asses who comment stuff like 'you better light a candle' or 'change your facebook' in reference to terror attacks.

    First, that joke is tired, very tired. Lets just get that out of the way. Its all over the place, for a long time. Nothing original whatsoever.

    Second, you don't have some kind of ownership of frustration or anger towards such events. A lot of people are rightly angry, frustrated, upset, searching for an answer. Who the fck elected you as chief over-tolerant-type-teller-offer.

    Third, its basically a global accusation that announces 'anyone who isn't me is an apologist for this....but not me, ooooh no I know exactly what to do'.

    Its basically like if the price of petrol went up, and somebody came up to you on the street, pointed to a newspaper headline and said 'well I suppose you better vote for the govt again genius'.

    Or someone walking into a room and announcing 'hey everybody you know its wrong to steal, just sayin', and then leaving.

    Its dweebs casting everybody else in the role of police chief, and themselves as dirty harry, in a movie that you don't get a choice to be in.

    Basically it just says 'Hi you're a limp wristed apologist and I'm the only one on the planet with opinions grounded in reality, that is all, goodbye'.

    Earphones constantly getting tangled in my bag. Annoying as fcuk.

    Want to pick up a good few of the same thing in Woodies.

    Check website for my local store, all page says for Stock Availability is "available".

    Yeah, but how many?

    1 is no good, 2 borderline, 3 acceptable, 4+ even better.

    "available" doesn't really help me.

    TA that I get a breakout after my time of the month. Why can't they both just come together so I can looked like a bloated teen and be done with it.
    TA that my mum rings me, says what did you do today, I said I lay in bed watching the full replay of the Manchester gig. She's audibly horrified and says sure go for a swim. Why did I tell anyone I joined a gym. And I was out last night ffs!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,194 ✭✭✭foxy farmer

    It's BIG BROTHER.

    Why do people not die any more?

    Everyone has to 'pass away'.

    That is TAing alright. It's not like passing away is any less final than dying:)
    On my Grandad's gravestone from what I can remember it says he "fell asleep". Asleep now almost 40 yrs and still hasn't woken up!

    Minorly TAed that I :o really must drag myself up, get dressed, go out into the world and be sociable tonite, when I much prefer to stay in my warm cozy bed.

    ah well :) such is life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,718 ✭✭✭Iseedeadpixels


    Ta'd that I have the most boring life ever, 7 pm last night I decide to go to bed early because I couldnt think of anything to do and the gym was closed :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,759 ✭✭✭Winterlong


    My taste buds seem to be broken.
    Things that should taste fantastic (Coffee and donut breakfast) just taste bland.

    Annoyed that my 16 year old sister is unable to mind my relatively well-behaved 3 year old son for ten minutes while I have a shower. The pair of them were whingeing and pawing at the bathroom door the whole time. What are teenagers coming to? I'd have been babysitting most nights of the week at her age. She's terrified to be left alone with him for any length of time!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,468 ✭✭✭✭OldNotWIse


    This is difficult to explain but I will try. You know the terms "push back" and "bring forward" - I know what they mean but I always think that they are the wrong way around. If you consider that we are standing at a point in time now, and the future is stretching in front of us from this time. If you want to move an event further into the future (along the line) from where you are (the point in time), then it should be pushing it forward (because it is forward relative to where you are) and likewise if you want to make something happen sooner along the line than planned, then you should "pull it back" because it is not going to be as far along the line as planned. Shouldn't it be pushed forward for postponing and pulled back for having it earlier? The terminology "push back" and "bring forward" suggests that the point in time we are standing at is in the future. Every time I hear or use these terms I have this same, frustrating thought pattern.

    And I am still like oh ...no wait it's a living creature ..let it live ..imma vegetarian...then when i see it my endocrine system will make me scream kill run or jump out of the window...but when i kill you i will feel i lost a special thing ..in my heart of myself ...my light :(

    I HATE YOU...

    Also when I was ten i was staying in a caravan you crawled on me in the night ...i think we should start a thread to share our spider stories.

    Yes this is a great idea ;)

    I am trivially annoyed at the local petrol station having a "sale"'on petrol and I couldn't avail of it, simply because a couple of years ago I swore I would never again darken the door of such a robbing shower of bastards.

    The texaco facing my local topaz did it too, for 99.8 cent!

    TA'd our tea/coffee dock in work is ordered in a bad way.

    It's just one long counter that should go
    1) Cups 2) Tea bags/Coffee 3)Hot water 4) Bin 5) Fridge for milk
    but it goes
    1)Bin 2)Hot water 3) Tea bags 4) Fridge for milk 5) Coffee

    Lots of people in the way, all the time.

    TA I was at a function a few weeks ago and there were crowds around the sandwiches and hot food, nobody knew whether they were queueing or just grabbing for their lives, small unbelievably squashed section of the room. You were always in the way.

    I wanted to leave shortly after, nice day but can't be doing with insane crowds just for nuggets, sambos and sausages.

    If the sale was big enough then they could have been losing a few cent per litre.

    What better way to get them back than to only buy petrol from them when they are making a loss on it?!!

    My eye is crustated and burning. The most sensitive part of my booty.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,506 ✭✭✭Doctor Nick


    TA that I'm a very punctual person but none of my friends or acquaintances seem to be. When I say I'll meet somebody at 12 I'll arrive at 11.50 or thereabouts. Like today. But person I'm meeting won't be here for another half hour at least. I have to stop being so punctual as I just end up being pissed off.

    TA my perfume reminds me of a funeral. I must have been standing next to someone wearing the same scent

    "Eau de Cortège" ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,506 ✭✭✭Doctor Nick


    I waited for 45 minutes and still no show so left in the height of it. Now I'm TA'd that I feel guilty for leaving when I shouldn't feel a thing, it should be my mate who didn't bother his hole turning up who feels guilty.

    You did the right thing, should've left sooner.
    TA the shops who only do 99s on hot days. Every day is a good day for a cone!

    People not taking responsibility for things they have done or failed to do. Someone actively asking me to take responsibility for something that has nothing to do with me. Someone actively trying to prevent me from acting to take responsibility for myself if i have the right to or should have. Someone mistaking honestly for malice. People lacking sympathy.

    People wanting your companionship or friendship but with unreasonable stipulations or conditions.

    People not accepting generosity or feeling guilty for the things they should not.

    I think they need to recite this:

    I confess to almighty God, and to you, my brothers and sisters,
    that I have sinned through my own fault, in my thoughts and in my words,
    in what I have done, and in what I have failed to do; and I ask blessed Mary,
    ever virgin, all the angels and saints, and you, my brothers and sisters,
    to pray for me to the Lord our God.
