    I am green with envy at every Facebook/Instagram post I see of people I know getting pregnant yet I know if I fell pregnant I would sh*t myself.
    Im at an awkward stage where I'm broody as hell but know myself it's not the right time so it wouldn't be ideal for me to get pregnant, so I'm happy to wait another couple of years.
    Doesn't stop me from feeling jealous, though. There's no logic to it :o

    Sitting at my desk at 8:40am, headphones in, scrolling through social media, I don't start work till 9.
    Colleague arrives over and starts talking to me about a work thing. I could not possibly look or act less interested. He perseveres until I explain a few things to him regarding our clients. He doesn't understand so I have to pull up an email so he gets it.
    I look at the clock. It's 8:59. I'm so annoyed I lost my free time before work. Didn't even get a chance to make a cuppa before I started!

    This is why I browse social media in the bathroom before 9am, so nobody will try to talk to me :p

    TA'd that my gob****e of a manager didn't tell me that i had sent an email meant for somebody else else to him. The fact that i started off the email by addressing somebody else by name wasn't a clue that it wasnt meant for him.

    I was hoping for a soft friday and a nice ease in to the weekend. But work has been a nightmare so far.

    Calm down everyone FFS!

    I'm on periscope and love the app. but get TA by the sleeze bags


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 147 ✭✭ginger_hammer


    TA'd by bags. backpacks, carry bags, massive handbags - it appears that everyone in town is going on a camping trip with masses of items needed on their person at all times.

    I had similar to this yesterday morning..I was trying to remember a password but the yapper beside me wouldn't shut up so I ended up getting locked out of a system and had to get onto IT and TA them at 8am...I could have throttled her with her inane BS...the day went downhill from there,people should STFU until after the morning break at least.

    When I set up my account about 8 years ago I never put Capital letters for my username now it annoys the **** out of me anytime I post.

    Mods, please help me out, this is one trivial annoyance you can resolve.

    Shopping apps on my phone with random push notifications
    "Hey Gal! Shop up to 70% off"
    "Slay all day babe"
    "Hey you, yes you, you're beautiful"

    **** off will ya be more in your line sending out orders quicker than sending bull**** notifications infuriating people


    I spend a fortune on my dogs.
    Multi vits, cod liver oil, worm doses, their shots, microchip, toys beds treats sprays to keep any fleas getting at them, they go to the doggie spa once a month to be groomed and fluffed up, prescription food and my older dog has artheritis so I ordered a memory foam couch for them because it helps with their joints apparently. It hasn't arrived yet. Then I have people scoffing at me and laughing at me and tagging me in memes on Facebook poking fun at the fact I actually try to take care of my pets to the best of my ability. It's TFA that taking care of animals is seen as abnormal or weird and getting a dog feeding it the cheapest food from Tesco leaving it outside on its own and never walking it is normal behaviour.

    Lazy parents. Leaving your kid in his jammmies all day. Not bothering to change your baby's baby gro from one day to the next. Is there any need for it? God forbid you disturb yourself even though you're a full time mummy but still can't be bothered to dress your child.

    Sorry, the phrase "fall pregnant" it's just wrong and is a major TA for me, i have a vision of a woman tripping and landing on a penis by accident 😂

    Ppl who dont understand that absolute quiet in the am is vital! unless there is a world crisis or house is on fire, DO NOT talk to me till 10.30, unless I speak first!

    That's how I feel in the evening.

    TALKING TIME IS OVER NOW.

    TA at people who do not listen to basic instructions.

    TA'd at my wife who, when I hand her my phone to look at something such as the latest post on the YLYL thread, can't take it from me without hitting the back button, power button or some other part of the screen, taking said post away. She then goes "where is it?" to which I always reply "not again".

    Me too! And it doesn't help that there is such media pressure to procreate! Constant feckin reminders about our diminishing egg resources, as if they will all just up and die the second you hit 35.

    TA I have poisoned myself. Was taking anti-fever meds plus sinutab for a cold, out last night so took some paracetamol for a hangover and then this morning some codeine for period pain. I am glowing (and not in a good way!).

    My mum was 45 when she had me, so I dont give the whole fertility dipping thing so early much credence.
    TA, the lack of speed at which the dunnes chat runs, simple question and its been 10 mins already, all but one of them spent looking at a non responsive screen. The eventually answer was to take it back and no it cant be refunded to alternative means(all of which I could have guessed), so how come staff didn't know?

    Hate it when you're low on deodorant, you spray under one arm, and there's not enough left for the other side. Especially if you then have to use a different brand on the other side. It just feels so WRONG.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,490 ✭✭✭Bredabe


    Contacted various firms/charities on fb today, to get an answer to a fairly basic question. 100% of them tell me to call or email. So the point of having a media team is..............................
    TA'ed, someone has some life or death news I need to hear and hasn't contacted me, even tho they would have known since before lunch. I know its not life and death to them but it is to me..........

    The fact that someone has a mobile phone and a facebook account seems to result in the expectation that they're available at any time of the day 7 days a week now. I didn't reply to a message I got this morning and I've since got two more frantic messages (from someone who said yesterday they don't mind waiting another couple of days for the answer). I didn't reply because I was at an appointment ffs. And now I don't feel well enough to reply, and have thing to be doing. And I object to being harassed like that.

    I missed a text while I was in the feicing operating theatre and the sender got the huff too. Does it ever cross peoples minds that their messages arent read and answered for a good reason!

    Bought a ticket to the Ludivico Einaudi concert in the 3 arena. It's tomorrow night. Bought it months ago for 88 Euro, not cheap but I'm looking forward to it :) Wasnt a VIP or anything, pretty normal seat but not in nosebleeds either

    Ticket sales must not be going well as seeing official ads selling tickets for 49 euro now.

    Most people go to concerts where demand is high. I go to a concert where I find I've overpaid!
