Things That Trialvilly Annoy You.

I lent €5 to a guy in work and still no mention of paying me back despite asking a few times

Maybe I’m the fool for being trusting in the first place

Leo Varadkar's pre-budget comments about the first time buyers scheme:
Apparently it's official government policy that only couples (and young couples at that) deserve to be able to buy a home. Single people can just, I dunno, squat in a hovel until they die, or something.

I'm not looking to turn this into a debate but this week I will be moving into the apartment I recently bought by myself as a single man. I don't earn great money but I still managed to do it. It can be done.

Living Off The Splash

At this time of the year I let some of my vegetable and flower plants go to seed. I then collect this seed and use them next year for "free" plants.
For some reason I just can't be arsed to do it at the moment.....

Fair play, and I know it can be done - but that's totally not the point. The point is that Leo Varadkar and his government are tone deaf to the fact that people other than couples deserve to be able to buy their own homes. It suits the government to have two-income households be the yardstick by which everything is measured, and if you're not a two-income household, then tough.

Anyway, back on topic. I'm trying to make payments to my PRSA before the tax deadline and the insurance company have been messing me around for over a month. I'm trying to give them my money, and they're making it almost impossible! What's wrong with them!!!

My TA is those plastic bags that sweets are sold in, and some cereals. Unless you've a scissors to open them, you risk tearing the bag from top to almost bottom and all the contents spilling over the place, when you try to tear the bag open with your hands or even your teeth!!:mad:

And the 'resealable' pasta bags that come with the sticky label. Instead of using it to reseal the bag you end up using it to try and patch the massive rip all down the side of the bag :mad:

Yeah I agree on that. It's worse than tone deaf imo, they don't care at all.

I've two related ones.

I asked for a white chocolate éclair but the guy gave me a regular éclair and I didn't notice until I opened the box. Such a 1st world problem - I got the wrong sort of chocolate on my cream bun! My browser even puts the accent on the e for me.....

While eating it a bit of chocolate fell on my office chair. I didn't want chocolate on the back of my pants, so I stood up to look for it. I couldn't find it but brushed off the chair anyway. Somehow still ended up with chocolate on my pants!

The amount of lads sitting down as pregnant women stand in a waiting room of the hospital, totally unaware (you’d hope), that they’re being selfish assholes.

I pulled up a dickhead up on that a few years in a maternity clinic. Waiting with pregnant wife and this dickhead was actually slouched across two seats and a pregnant women came in. He didnt even look up but he knew well she was standing there.

After a minute or so, I tapped him on the shoulder and signaled for him to move his ass. He did reluctantly.

I am more annoyed that nobody else would have said anything if was not there.

Why did you not say anything?

Every so often the nurses in the Coombe clinic come out and announce that any man sitting should stand up and allow their patients sit .I have actually seen women in early pregnancy stand for women who are further on before some men stood

I am happy to offer a seat to an elderly person, pregnant lady, disabled or maybe an harassed mother with shopping and kids hanging off her but that is it.


Like foook I am offering up a seat to a women just because she is a woman. Why should I?
