    Inappropriate workwear in the heat...

    One person who is practically in a bikini with flip flops on & another who has black tights, wool skirt, shirt and jumper on!

    Was sitting in St Stephen's green eating ice-cream and enjoying the sun and peace & quite. When a big gang of Spanish students arrived and spent their time screaming and shouting at each other. :mad:

    The much anticipated "Riviera" on SKY....it's like watching Home and Away with more affluent characters.

    When you print out yet another insurance document (I'm worth far more dead than alive at this stage!) from the laptop in the kitchen via the wireless printer upstairs, knowing there are so many pages that they will decorate the study upstairs when they fly out of the machine. No problem there. What you don't count in is that the idiots in the insurance company did not put page numbers on the document. Sure, when so much of their business derives from legal (and other financial, e.g. Mortgage Protection Insurance) requirements that people have that insurance, they've no incentive to be consumer friendly. Handy money.

    Now for this layman to read these 40 pages of arse-covering get-out-of-jail clauses proofread by an army of specialist lawyers. The state wouldn't have enough power to give to a Financial Regulator to keep these guys in check/protect consumer rights against their might.

    people opening windows on a dublin bus in hot weather.

    Now I know it's a sensible thing to do. I know it makes everyone feel better. And I know I'd be a dick if I closed them.

    However it makes my hayfever so much worse. On the way into work today, despite taking extra anti histamine I was crying worse than when my parents brought me to see ET and ET died.

    I walked past someone in work today who smelled like they hadn't showered or changed their clothes since the warm weather started. I passed that way again five minutes later and I could still smell them! Rotten armpit trail...

    I think they should get points in their license for being smelly, the manky bastards.

    This person is well known for being stinky all year round. I think they should have to wear special badges and lanyards with "I STINK" printed on them....

    Just sat behind someone on the bus. Ho-le-fcuk. The actual smell of her. The only way I can describe it is stale period smell and not washed for two years. Unreal. Gag. She had a Brown Thomas bag with her as well mind you. Fcuk your BT's and buy a bar of soap you rotter.

    TA by people who complain about the heat. I understand if you get heat rash or pregnant But regular Joes and Josephines who complain fo for the sake of it

    Just had it again: I neatly folded and sorted all our laundry and want to put them in the wardrobe and drawers. When I open his drawers, all the clothes are thrown around in it, he was obviously digging for the one particular black T-Shirt for work (mind you, he has about 10 identical ones from H&M) and left a mess behind. Same with his pants.
    Drives me mad.

    TA that in this weather you look silly wearing black tights, but I've no nude ones and nude ones rip much more easily than black ones for some reason!
    (Going tightless is a no no, my legs would blind people they're so pale, and also, chub rub :( )

    To prevent 'chub rub' I bought a pair of leggings and cut them up into shorts so my legs don't rub together under my dress/skirt!

    Currently sitting in my office, at my desk in front of a huge window that doesn't open. We have no air conditioning and I'm nowhere near a door/window with fresh air. I feel like I'm in a greenhouse.

    My phone is registering the temperature at 26 degrees. I have a pounding headache and I have sweat dripping down my temples and my back. I'm not a person who sweats easily.

    This is absolute torture, I feel like I'm slowly melting. This weather is only pleasant for sitting in a beer garden or the beach. Impractical for everything else. I'm struggling to get work done because I'm so hot. My hayfever is also at an all time worst.

    TA'd that I'm wishing this nice weather away because it's impossible for me to work in.

    That when you pay by card the money comes out of your account immediately. When they have to refund you the same money, even when they make the mistake, it'll take "between 3 and 5 working days".

    All those free billions, if not trillions, of our money which financial institutions profit from/gamble with as a result of getting away with saying it takes 3-5 days to refund us the same money they can immediately take from our accounts.

    Tv licence is also my TA today. I had collected €120 in stamps so had to put €40 to it.
    Only had my debit card with me. They couldn't split the payment between the stamps and the card.

    So I left. Licenceless. And went to Aldi and spent the €40 on a paddling pool. On my debit card.

    Why didn't you buy another €40 worth of stamps? Paying for TV license is also a TA of mine. And the heat is another TA. I'm too warm. Need to peel my boxers off at night.

    I can't cope I'm literally in a heap, this heat is barbaric. I look like a big red blotchy decrepit looking mess.

    My face is pouring sweat. My head feels dizzy. My body is covered in an itchy rash. I'm getting really warm then so warm I'm feeling shivery. I hate this heat. It's disgusting. Not even cold showers make me feel better. I don't even want it to rain, just cool down a bit with a breeze it's horrible


    TA also my hair is so dark you'd think my skin could take a bit of heat but I can't. It's porcelain pale and I just draw the short straw on everything

    TA'ed One look out the window on Fri and I just knew it, cystitis weather. Have to rethink every item I had packed for work this week.

    Glad that I listened to my mum and keep bread soda/camomile tea/cranberry capsules in the house. Otherwise long hot smelly miserable wait in doctor's office for antibiotics.

    Morticia Addams who sits beside me is keeping her Goth look going despite the bad weather. Multiple layers of black.
    I had hoped she would turn up in a summery flowery frock today..but no.
