    I bought high quality vitamins for someone and he sporadically took them as if honouring humouring me. Today it's " must buy x vitams. They're meant to be good for x problem."

    That's why I got you the best available brand of them ! Why is it only worth listening to when anyone else says it. Oh well you can lead a horse to water.
    I got manuka honey for a honey eater. It cost a few bob. They gave away and then had the cheek to ask where I got it, as in can you get me more. Pity the shop was out it , I'm sure , if I had looked!

    When you get up early to see a movie in the cinema that you know you'll get to enjoy in peace as it will be deserted and will also be finished well before the nearby businesses close, thereby avoiding rush hour traffic, only to discover when you arrive that it's been cancelled.

    Oh dear. I hate ingratiate, it's a nasty characteristic.
    Bit TA that that last bit about where did you get the honey, is like something I'd say in all innocence so I could source and buy it in future. But I wouldn't have given it away like that. And wouldve given something back to you asap. The TA is not understanding that type of thing. .

    Today's TA, I can't get on with any kind of latex rubber or poly gloves. Or any waterproof work gloves. I'm not allergic but my hands hate them. Ive tried every flipping type. My hand has had enough today and cracked open around my knuckles. It's like little mouths opening and closing when I flex my fingers and it's burning hot and my hands useless for work.

    Rub your hands in vaseline before putting gloves on

    I find the orange gripster skins to be great for crappy hands, little pricey though.

    Can't tolerate Vaseline, sadly, but thanks.
    They need to be very light gloves as I use my fingers a lot and I see the orange ones come in powder free (powder also an issue) so I'll try them, thanks :)

    Use coconut oil instead of Vaseline its super for dry skin


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    Never thought of that, before gloves on! Thanks

    TA is my earphones. I always listen to pod casts as I fall asleep but every pair, the right one doesn't work. Always the same one , the right hand one.

    Same here on my iPod.been 2 weeks listening to music in left ear only.
    Feel like my head needs to be rebalanced at this stage.

    Headphones always fall out of my right ear. Every set I get.

    Its a conspiracy I tell you!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    One of your ear canals might be narrower than the other. Quite common, apparently. Same happens to me.

    Are you calling my ear canals oddly shaped?

    :eek:

    have you tried leaning your head slightly to the left?

    God No!

    Deformed would be the technical term!


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,399 ✭✭✭✭cj maxx


    I need to get a set that fit over my ears. That's why I keep pushing wax in further.
    Sorry to gross ye out :)

    People who act shocked at security in airports regarding the liquid requirements, particularly the older people who who then suddenly act like they can barely move, or hear.

    Self service checkouts. I selected the option "I brought my own bag" and was told by the machine to place it in the bagging area. No problem, placed my empty bag in the bagging area to then hear "unexpected item in the bagging area", so I had to remove it and place the bag on the ground.

    Why do those machines tell you to put it there if it's only gonna have canaries two seconds later?

    I hear ya. (See what I did there? :pac:)

    I've ear canals that are perfectly shaped in their own unique way, too, Tedders. ;) I ended up running the wire behind and above my ears, with the ear pieces upside down. It might not be pretty, but it does work.

    what are these wires you speak of?


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    My bras don't fit now.Bras are expensive. You can buy strap extenders but nothing can be done about the cups. I know because I was annoyed enough to think about trying to alter them. Underwear construction is a fine art it seems. (The word lingerie is a TA. Unless you are French. )

    About the uniquely shaped ear canals (mine are irregular, hope I didn't offend anyone) I shove the useless ear thing and its mile of wire into the neck of my top or jumper when I'm walking. Behind the ear is a neater solution!

    Ps. Thanks again for the coconut oil tip, whoever said it. My hand is fully operational today :)

    The last few weeks my neighbour has been leaving out her bin at about 2 in the morning. She works late but Jesus, do it before you go to work not silly hours of the morning. She’s not discreet about it either, I woke last night thinking the house was falling in on top of me until I realised

    The trick is put it up on one wheel, makes it so much quieter. Maybe cut one of her wheels off so she has no choice but to be quiet with it :pac:

    These effing UFO 'experts '
    Bull****ters the load of them. They come out with stuff like "some researchers " or some "experts " think this and that. They're not experts , they're fantasists playing the media game.
