    The flight or fight cough.
    Your either walking past someone or someone steps out of a shop door when you are entering and maybe you have to check your stride slightly when they do this unnecessary loud dry cough. Its just the tension of a close encounter no matter how fleeting. Its a kind of posturing cough. You just know if you werent there as they stepped out or walk passed you there would be no cough. It can also be a hoik, where they aggressively snot inwards through their nostrils which is a more elevated version of the cough. The message ''You come at me buddy an im ready for you''. I think they think they are in the C wing of Mountjoy with the tension levels in their head. I call it the flight of fight cough!.

    One more for me tonight and it comes under the umbrella term "bint entitlement"

    This one is mainly prevalent in supermarkets.

    Bint gets to checkout and cashier, as she's swiping through bint's messages states cheerily..... "oh they're two for one"..... and guess what down totters checkout girl to procure for bint that other jar of jam / tub of showergel whatever it may be.

    But turn that coin on an angle and through no fault of mine own a product is placed on escalator and duly goes through scanner and don't scan. It ain't on me - that was how I found it. So 7 or more times out of ten checkout girl sends me down, like a bloody sap to procure another similar item. Checkout bird probably uses the 50 seconds or so to give the "sure ya know yourself" look to, either one of her colleagues or to the next bint in line, who, while appreciative of the acknowledgement remains oblivious that it was often through her very own dodderyness that that some other consumer was oft discommoded likewise.

    So, in supermarkets, the bint privilege allows bint to not have to suffer the ramifications of her own ineptitude, and just waits there at the counter contentedly, while sometimes surprisingly uses the 70 seconds on average to have a root around her purse/ handbag for whatever it is bints do be rooting for with maybe one or two furtive glances in the direction from whence bint came and amiable shop bird went.

    I might write a manifesto yet.

    Would need to do a literary course though first so maybe too much hassle.

    The bint and her enablers have a lot to answer for :(

    I have finished work for the week. 50 hours in 4 days. I decided to eat shíte for dinner instead of the healthy meal I had planned. I went to Tesco and got a pizza, chocolate, and decided fook it and got whiskey too. TA at the paranoid feeling I always get at the checkout that everyone is judging me, they're probably not and I shouldn't care but just a small part of me does and it's a trivial annoyance.

    Anytime I try to fill in my overplucked since the 90s eyebrows I look exactly like one of the angry birds :(

    I have often bought just wine, cat food and a pizza.

    Some day I'll go in and just buy cucumbers and Vaseline....

    That's a mighty peculiar way to make a salad... let alone using the vaseline as dressing...

    It's the type of salad the calls for stick of wet celery to compliment the various components. Judicious use of large salad tongs can also add to the overall enjoyment.

  • Registered Users Posts: 71,799 ✭✭✭✭Ted_YNWA

    I know he was only a teenager but I saw something on TV last night about the young scientist and this lad said. ''Cars in the PARKING LOT''

    Worrying about someone and they didn't pick up when I rang so I know it's going to be a sleepless night. Sigh.

    I always thought it was Original Poster? That's how I use it.

    Anyway, today's TA: people who dawdle up the middle of busy footpaths. I walk from Rathmines to Baggot St Bridge (and back) every day and the amount of people who just meander along. That's their prerogative, fine, but move the fcuk over to the side so people can pass easily, FFS.

    And while I'm at it, move to the left, obvs.

    Same!
    TA just sat through an exam where some idiot just barked and coughed the whole way through. Literally every 20 seconds. People have zero consideration these days .

    When I used to drink wine I'd always have to buy it in a separate shop to where I bought my cat food. I just couldn't queue up with wine and felix together because it was too much crazy spinster night in!

    People saying “super” when they mean very.

    e.g .I was super tired.

    I lent someone a CD in early summer, I told that person I wouldn't need it back immediately and to keep it for a few weeks, but I made it very clear that I did want it back. Late November, and still no sign of my CD back. Asked to have it returned in early December, nothing. I asked again before Christmas, I was promised I'd have it back before then, still nothing. I got it back yesterday. BUT THEY HAD REMOVED THE STICKERS FROM THE COVER. :mad: :mad: :mad:

    I mean, it's not YOURS, what possesses you to do that? If I'd have wanted to remove the stickers, I'd have done it myself a long time ago! Yes, it's trivial, but it annoys me so much. Almost as much as taking so long to return it.

    My taste buds have been shot this past few days. That may be a sign of impending sickness which is ok.
    But if they were permanently shot I would be devastated. And that's my TA...worrying about what will likely not happen.
