    People in jobs that can't speak English.
    Now this is not a racist bloody foreigners rant. I don't care who they are or where they're from, I don't care if they're white black or green. Once I can converse with, be understood and understand what I'm being told.

    Arseholes who whinge and moan and scream for an appointment and then don't show up. No phone call, no carrier pigeon, no smoke signal, just an empty fucking slot that could have been filled by one of the thousands waiting on appointments, who also whinge and moan and scream at me.

    What you need is a spray bottle of BogeyMan Repellent. It works for Monsters, too.

    Not sure if it was a serious question or not, but you can get it at the chemist's, or off the web for something like $25 (which is ridiculous). Or you can make your own with an empty spray bottle, water, a couple of drops of food colouring, maybe a couple of drops of essential oil/food flavouring, and some stickers or a marker to label the bottle. The children would spray it under their beds, inside the wardrobes, and any place where monsters, ghosts, witches and bogeymen may hide.

    My TA: Still trying to teach that polar bear to play solitaire on a tablet. I found the screen was utterly gross, with various bits stuck to it. I asked why it was in that state, and I was informed that since polar bear couldn't get a grip on the cards, he licked his fingerprints to wet them. :mad: I was close to puking!! Cue washing my hands with abundant soap and hot water, handing a wet wipe to the polar bear, and proceeding to thoroughly disinfect the tablet. The blood vessels in my temples were throbbing. :mad:

    I occasionally have conversations that go something like this:

    Him: What are you listening to?
    Me: I'm listening to <band>.
    Him: Do you always listen to <band>?

    I've been trying to figure out why I find this question so annoying. The main thing seems to be that the question is belittling: the questioner is implying that I have a narrow mind, am a creature of habit with no imagination.

    I mean, does anyone always do anything? Listen to the same band, eat the same food, take the same route, and so on? If you don't, why would you think that of someone else, unless you somehow think you're "more interesting"? :mad:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Retailers ............ PUT A FUKING NUMBER ON YOUR SHOP.


    full streets of you pricks, with not a number among any of them.

    flashing neon signs about how fuking wonderful your crap is, and how theres a 10% sale til Tuesday.
    Hilarious cuddly adverts, captions, slogans, sexy lettering.


    But not the most basic of fuking numbers.

    And you want crap delivered how?

    'Oh don't you know where the sock emporium is on Georges street, I was sure you'd know - I mean I work at the sock emporium so therefore everyone knows'

    There look it says it right on the outside of my 'far end of the road tucked behind a bus shelter looking like every other fcking shop shopfront'.

    Well no, no I don't know where on a mile long road of carbon copy cnts with 1000 neon signs where your shtty run of the mill un-numbered shop is.

    Spent the day clearing a garden for my neighbours daughter just outside Cork city. Filled an 8x4 trailer with green waste and a dismantled timber shed. Checked the kinsale rd civic amenity website for charges. 70 Euro. Fair enough. Then down farther i see they operate a height restriction preventing vehicles over 2 M from entering. Jeep is about 2.3M .
    Thanks Cork Corporation. Drove back home to Bandon to be greeted by the same restrictions. Thanks Cork Co Council. Now I must dispose of the waste in an "alternative " manner.

    Real anger there, and rightly so.

    Interviewees on the radio or tv, usually in current affairs programmes but can be on sports shows or even light entertainment like Sean Moncrieff type stuff, who don't say "thanks" at the end of their segment.

    I always think it's a little ignorant. It's such a simple courtesy.

    Just get an empty spray bottle, rinse it out well, fill with water and food colouring of choice and then stick a plain label over the original and write and decorate whatever you want on it.

    I did the same thing to make "Quiet Spray" when I was teaching the most energetic infants ever. Kids fall for it hook line and sinker.

    My dog was lying on my bed most of the day and so now I have dog hairs in my eye balls up my nose and one in my mouth. When I got the little bastard they told me he didn't shed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    Speaking of dogs, my eldest is very soft and sensitive. If he gets anyway upset lately he'll dirty the floor. If I'm late home from work, and we don't get to spend time together, if I'm away for the night, if he's put in the shower, if there's no treats etc, he'll poo on the floor that night. He knows what he does is bold and won't make eye contact with me in the mornings if he dirties the floor but I can't give out to him because if I make him sad he'll do it again. So I've been trying positive rewards and clapping for him on days with no poo, and ignore the urge to shout when there is poo but my heads wrecked

    Sorry.

    flashback to a time i was against the clock delivering something in an industrial park. not a single unit number.

    40 minutes walking around like mr bean on something that should take 40 seconds, because of this conspiracy against sense.

    When we lost our electricity for 2 days during Hurricane Ophelia, we were using our battery pack to keep everything charged etc. When the electricity came back on, I said to my husband "make sure you charge that up, it's probably dead", "yeah, yeah" he said.
    THIS MORNING MY BIKE WOULDN'T START SO I GRABBED THE BATTERY PACK TO GET IT GOING, IT STILL WOULDN'T START, OH NO, I THOUGHT, AND STARTED PULLING APART THE BIKE, ONLY TO REALISE A HALF HOUR LATER THAT IT WASN'T FUCKING CHARGED. FUCKING FUCKING FUCK FUCK!!!!!!

    And even more annoying is that there is only one indicator light on the battery pack so when I connected it to my bike, it flashed green so I presumed it was charged (my first time using it) as, according to my husband, it's supposed to flash red if it's dead, but you have to press another FUCKING button to check if it's charged. My husband only thought to tell me that AFTER I STARTED PULLING THE BIKE APART!!!!

    Requiring a 16 character long password for work, containing no words

    Typing out that password multiple times a day

    Typing an incorrect letter somewhere near the end of the password and having to start it again

    Being too lazy to properly set up a password manager

    I'm in London at the moment and I was meeting someone in Leicster Sq at 14:00. They were delayed so I started watching a street entertainer who are usually quite good in london.

    He was at the stage were he was asking for money which is fair enough. He then sees me, comes over to me and says "you look lonely. If you give me 10 pounds I promise to hang out with you this evening" Then he kissed my forehead.

    He was wearing a mic so cue laughter from the crowd.

    Oh f*ck the hell off you f*cking creep!!! :mad: :mad: For f*ck sake!!!
