    When two people are arguing a point on here and one usually roles out the whole “I studied this for a while, I should know” line as a trump card, when it’s totally obvious they studied naaa’tn.

    Huh?

    It was a few years ago on a Cork to Dublin bus.
    A man well into his fifties brought a toilet bowl in a bag onto the bus and sat at the back.
    The bag was clear and it looked wet inside.


    I hope that makes sense!

    "It's my not-at-all transparent attempt to legitimise opinions I'm blatantly pulling out of my hole."

    It's almost, I dunno, philosophical...

    An attempt to legitimize an ignorant stance, usually.

    I should know, I've studied these things.

    When one asks one's chap to pick up some nice bikkies on the way home, and after stewing in a soup of anticipation for an hour one is presented with two packets of Oreos.

    Bloody Oreos.

    I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed.

    When I work nowhere near a shop and am mad for crisps.

    I knew my wife was out yesterday and today but I get texts to say I have to be home as early as possible so no time for shops.

    I have the kids but its too close to bedtime to get to shops and back.

    I will be in Tesco before they open at this rate!!

    Air conditioning. The library is at an ok temperature, not too warm, and not too cold. Nobody trying to strip off layers of clothing, or trying to put on jackets. Then, all of a sudden, a draught hits you. A draught that seems to come from a graveyard, as if an army of ghosts walked in and through you. I hate it!!! :mad: And a guy has put his hat on. So it's not only me.

    Why can't they leave it well alone?!?

    That I paid almost 5e for a tub of ice cream, cause the young fella on the floor explaining the flavours reminded me of my nephew.

    When I arrive in good time for an appointment and I'm still sitting almost twenty minutes later with nothing done and no apology. Grr.

    I do a lot of walking tours. Great way to get your bearings around a city and learn the hidden gems. IMO much better than hop on hop off buses

    Anyway for this particular tour we were given headphones and little receiver things and the guide talks through his microphone

    Of course people can leave anytime but they walked off with the equipment That’s not forgetfulness, it’s thieving. They are only worth a few euro but the guide needs them

    ta’d for the tour guide

    The fact that Kerry will more than likely give Cork another hiding!


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,447 ✭✭✭✭Deja Boo


    Made plans yesterday for an outing today, come today and I wasn't up for it. Happens too much lately.


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,211 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    When you can't find the sellotape and scissors.

    Also when your wrapping a present and they are both on the table in front of you and they get lost several times.

    Also when you can't find the start of the sellotape.

    If you're late, you are liable to get charged for wasting their time, but if you have to wait, no discount for wasting your time.

    After weeks of being automatically logged into Boards on my phone, I am now forced to input user name and password each time. What is the reason for this inconsistency?

    I'm in the market for a hedge trimmer and I'm currently torturing myself with reviews. Somebody has started off a review with...'Hedges have been with us for thousands of years'. There follows a (very amateurish) history of hedges in an article which purports to be surveying the best on the market in 2019.

    Jesus. This waffle style annoys me so much. It's everywhere. What's wrong with short, sharp, concise, laconic sentences full of relevant facts?

    Give the pros and cons of the product in a lucid, succinct, structured manner. State what the consumer should be looking for, and whatever else is relevant to a purchase. So many YouTube reviews are a crime against consumerism, taking 5 or 10 minutes of, like, you know, "Have a Nice Day" cringe-inducing mortification before they get into the, like, you know, substance. Waffling eejits.

    So you'd prefer not to beat around the bush?
