It's like couples holding hands walking towards you on a narrow footpath. They want you to go onto the road so that they don't have to break their "chain".

That is classic spousal abuse actually. Cutting off a person from friends and family is common in abusive relationships. I've had a friend suffer the same controlling behaviour from his spouse, so much so that his three best friends weren't invited to the wedding and once married none of us saw him again.

Why do you some RTE news reporters from around the country often stand in front of a very busy road when giving their live news reports?Saw Samantha Libreri do it in Cork on the 6 o clock news. Struggled to hear the report. Ciaran Mulooley sometimes likes to stand at a traffic junction in Longford town.
Find a quiet spot folks and l promise to give full attention.

Sorry about that

One of the housemates is back after the Christmas holidays and he keeps.slamming.doors.

I was asleep as I’ve been up since the crack of dawn for work and I’m absolutely wrecked after my shift, a busy week and a charity event yesterday. He woke me up and now I’m wide awake. Slamming doors is so inconsiderate.

I know it's been said by people here before but nonetheless...

Was at a kid's birthday party yesterday involving the GF's side of the family. Cake and a few sweets sort of set-up- nothing major. A few cousins running around and playing as is expected at such a thing. But there was one kid there who was a brute. Refusing to share any toys or sweets with anyone else, and getting visibly aggressive to the resident three-year old who owned them in the first place. Actually swung back an elbow at one stage.

Yet there was his mother (aunt of the birthday girl) without a care in the world sitting in the kitchen regaling the other adults about how she drank an entire bottle of gin a few days earlier and couldn't drive for 22 hours the next day. On the journey home when I remarked at how blasé she was about keeping her eye on her children, I got more details. Her two kids are from two different fathers (neither of whom have anything to do with her or them), and she essentially spends her weekends still partying while her dad minds the kids (he had a far better control on them when he arrived). Seemingly, the older child was snapped at by a pitbull a couple of years ago while she wasn't keeping an eye on the chap, and both kids have been in and out of A&E with fractures etc. from various falls as well.

She just came across as a lot rougher than the rest of what is a middle-class family, and I aware that it does happen unfortunately, but her lack of parenting skills really astounded me. I know too that it's quite a sad case, but it is still a TA to say the least.

''are you annoyed,angry?''

''no...i just think its funny how... i just thought you wouldve made more of an effort to.... i just think its ridiculous that you.....thats all...but anyway, we'll say no more about it...

My neighbour insists on throwing rubbish in his wheelie bin at all hours during the day/early morning/evening. He lets the lid of the bin fall back against the side of the bin making this awful slapping noise. Right outside our bedroom window.

In between he gets coal/logs from his garage for his fire. Slamming his garage door every time he closes it rather than use the door handle to gently close the door.

I guess he must use one piece of coal at a time. Probably has a spread sheet.

yea he was a really quite chap and i know he was embarrassed by the way she carried on in public, having to hold her hand etc, but i'm sure he did love her but he maybe like a lot of men did'nt feel need to show it in public. talking to her one day and told her i hated carnivals so the next time we visited them we went in their car for a drive and she made him drive to where their was a carnival she thought it was very funny[screw loose or something]

Watching a film and someone comes in half way through and starts asking loads of questions about who everyone is. Worse is at the start and you get hit with twenty questions about who characters are. It's a wee bit of suspense, we'll find out!

Our neighbours start slamming doors early every single morning. I can hear them again over the TV on the other side of the house slamming doors one after the other when they come in from work. Slam, slam, stomp stomp upstairs, slam slam, stomp stomp downstairs. Sometimes I wonder if it's a weird kind of game they are playing, maybe they are chasing each other around the house nekkid. That's a horrible thought . Even their front path paving slabs are noisy and they stomp over and back on them going in and out. Dopes.

Up Donegal

Narrators on tv shows (particularly American ones), describing things in small units to spectacularise the description of something. I.e. "it weighs twenty thousand kilos" instead of "it weighs twenty tonnes". Or "the wall is three thousand feet long" when saying that "the wall is one thousand yards long" would be sufficient. Or "the distance from point A to point B is thirty-five hundred miles" instead of "the distance from point A to point B is three thousand, five hundred miles".

I had a dream last night that I was back at school just after Christmas.
The teacher started saying they'd be keeping an eye on me this term.
I opened my school bag and all I had in it was a maths book, newspapers that were in the way at home and the bag to put the Christmas tree in.
I had left all my books in my locker over Christmas and I was in 6th year.
Things then got a bit heated.
It really unsettled me.

Sometimes a bit of return door slamming works.
Not always though.

I don't know if some people genuinely don't realise how loud they are, or are they just born inconsiderate arseholes.

On the subject of loudness, more than once lately, I have been in a situation where an adult was speaking to a child/ children at top volume, even though the child was right beside them, in one case seated at the same table.
Seriously, nobody else wants to know what your little dears are ordering to eat or that 'YOU REALLY LIKED THE CHIPS THE LAST TIME, DIDNT YOU.'

Shush!

Decided to do a hike today and omg am in need of a defibrillator after it. I’m useless at incline. People double and treble my age passing me out and here’s me trying to pretend I’m not out of breath. Think my organs are in shock. Need to get fit.

I've left the "leaving cert" dreams behind and started on college ones....where I'm a week away from exams, with no notes, no class attendance, I'm not sure if I'm even aware what subjects I'm supposed to be studying.... It's all abit mad.

The most recent one was a few nights ago....like you it was a maths exam....I had my friends notes.... I can still "see" her writing on an a4 page... Think it was calculus as the equation was going the length of the page. ( I did actually study calculus in college but that was 20 yrs ago haven't looked at that type of maths since)

I was really unsettled too!

We're obviously stressing about something freshpopcorn or else we're a bit bonkers

The strange thing is in Secondary school I didn't have much bother (maybe the odd thing) because I didn't cause much hassle.
In college tough a lecturer threatened to go out of his way to fail me and other things happened also. So, I don't want to move onto college nightmares.

I just love being asked to go to weight watchers with my mother. Subtle, so subtle.
