    People who put all the dirty dishes and cups etc to the FRONT of the dishwasher when the bloody thing is empty. Start at the back !!!

    I will go to my grave still puzzled at how so many people fail to grasp the fundamental physics of dishwasher loading.

    Colleagues who don't come out of a shared file when they go for tea/lunch/chats/the jack's, meaning no one else can go in and edit the file until that asshole comes out of it :mad:

    In cases too where they do that, fûck off home on a Friday for the weekend still logged in and any of the rest of their colleagues who need those files to edit on Saturday are screwed.... last job there was one auld fella, late 50s who’s was a fûcker for this... my idea was to log the info on a separate spreadsheet and have him do it on Monday....of course I got...” ahhh he’s not very computer savvy, not his fault “. My reply... “well why did you fûckin hire him ???” :confused:

    The use of Xmas instead of Christmas.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Christmas freaks that call you Grinch or Scrooge and act like you hate Christmas just because you don’t think the run-up should begin until early December at least.

    I absolutely love Christmas, but the law of diminishing marginal utility quite clearly dictates that if we begin in early November we’ll have expended all of our Christmasiness and be sick of it come the actual day.
    So it is because I love Christmas that preparations ought not begin till the 8th, regardless of what the nuts would say.

    I do that, I must admit. Its because I'm not religious and also incredibly lazy :pac:

    "X" is a valid way of abbreviating "Christ".

    So yeah, you're using religious terminology.

    Well, I'm using a letter, if we want to be pedantic about it. I mean, its also an acceptable signature but I'm not using it as short for 'Big Joe Joyce' or anything.

    Driving in to my driveway this evening and I can see my neighbour putting up a Christmas tree in her living room. It’s NOVEMBER!

    Moochers who don't pay their turn in our euromillions syndicate

    That’s crap, people who are like that are always the very first to be messaging shît like... “ohhh great, how much did we win ? When is the payout?” If you get a few numbers up..

    People who leave 2 spaces after a full stop. What is that all about and why oh why were you the one that did all of our template letters?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭madmaggie


    I got a text from an insurance company. "Dear First name here...…" I like their attention to detail.

    It’s a style choice and perfectly valid. I do it in formal written communications.

    Listening to In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins in the car this morning and not being able to do air drums when the drum bit comes in because I was driving. A little part of me dies every time I don't mime the drums to that song.


    Also TA at being laughed at by a pretty lady when our cars were beside each other in stopped traffic and she saw me belting out Sussudio with all the passion I could muster.....:o:(


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


    Oh my god I love In the air tonight.


    TA when my tone of voice inexplicable comes off wrong. I sounded like I was cruelly complaining about my rescued, elderly dog when I meant it in a sympathetic way. Not helped by the wrong choice of word. I meant to say that the dog is suffering from canine dementia but instead I called her demented which doesn't sound great! Wouldnt have taken the dog in if I was like that would I?!

    And bigger TA is that some kinds of people are all too quick to see you in the worst possible light no matter how much you gave them the benefit of the doubt when you could have judged them harshly.

    People will let you down more often than not I find. There's plenty of great decent people in this world but unfortunately in day to day life you're going to run into or have to deal with some untrustworthy ones.

    In a way it's a TH because I've been spoilt with good people so I'm not equipped for that kind of thing. True though, part and parcel of life

    Spilling tea down my shirt. I’m old enough, and experienced enough, to know how to drink tea, this shouldn’t happen.

    People who take too long at the sugar and condiments section in a coffee shop. And they take up the entire area, completely oblivious to the fact that other people are waiting for them to stop their selfish dithering and GTFO
