Or leave it beside a bin. Saw this near Kimmage recently.

My parents going visiting relatives tomorrow just because they've had the vaccine. A real "I'm alright Jack" attitude. I've tried to explain several times about the recent disclosure about stillbirths linked to placentitis, and they just don't care. They're vaccinated and my unborn child can become a statistic for all they care. TA people acting the maggot just cause they're vaccinated.

I hate how phone/application companies passively force their consumers to upgrade to the latest tech.

I've had the same phone for about 2 and a half years now and it has been perfect. It's the best phone I've ever had and I've had little-to-no issues with it. I use the AIB app on it religiously for sending money to people - it's just so convenient to use.

Well, AIB forced me to update their app to the latest version, and now it's telling me the app is no longer compatible on my phone. It's telling me that I need to get Android version 8 or above.

So I can't use the last compatible version of the app. I'll have to buy a new phone if I want to use the app again. This is why I hate buying phones. They're far too expensive in my books. I do not use my phone for anything fancy - I use it for social media, checking my emails, using my banking app keeping in contact with my family and occasionally recording videos/taking photos. That's all I need. But that's not enough for some reason.

It feels like I'm content with my phone but the phone companies are not happy with that. They want to see me use the latest shíte.

Absolute bullshít, I'm so annoyed at this. I thought I'd be able to use this phone for a good while. I've got no issues with it apart from this, and it looks like it'll start happening with the rest of the apps I use. Fúck smartphones.

Keep an eye here for some cheap deals on phones.

The phrase "court of law" just irritates me.

People use it "oh if you were in a court of law", just say "court". I hear the word court, and I know there are two more completely unnecessary and pretentious words coming.
The context is more than enough that people know you're not talking about tennis.

People who say "I, for one". Why not just "I". We know you are one person, we haven't assumed you have a split personality, are speaking on behalf of a group, or are hiding a person under your coat.

Flickr just won't let me log in on my Windows laptop. Tried every browser, clearing cache and cookies. Restarting. Double, triple, quadruple checked my email address and password.

I can log in fine on my MacBook and phone. Chrome on the windows machine is using the saved password feature that works fine on the other two devices, but sill Flickr says the password is wrong on the Win laptop, but accepts it fine everywhere else.

I'm the same with Ticketmaster. Painful. Especially when Electric Picnic tickets are released

When you ask a simple question and get sent a spreadsheet in response

My own TA is the almost exact opposite to this.......asking detailed questions and getting simple answers, or better yet.........getting a partial reply.

"Dear Mr Crap-at-your-job,

I note from your website that blah blah blah.....I'm emailing to request the following information:

1) can it be thrown from a moving helicopter without damaging the mechanism?
2) can it fit in a microwave oven?
2)(a) how about a built-in microwave?
3) Is it available in black?

If you answer yes to these questions I'd like to purchase 40,00 units please.

yours etc,

$hifty"

Dear $hifty,

No, it isn't available in black.
Sincerely,

Some woman on a group i moderate looking for an argument. She asked a question without tagging us so I didn't see it until tonight. Then I answered and she started on about a post being taken down. I checked and the post was still there.
I pointed all this out to her and told her to relax but she kept on bitching. Some fcking people
Also it took me 5 tries on my phone to type bitching.

We got one a month ago. Definitely worth it. Chips are lovely.
Also handy for baking bread rolls - previously I was pre-heating the oven (which took 30 minutes, air-fryer takes just 5)

When I push the lever on my toaster far enough that the mechanism doesn't pop the bread back up, so I think the toasting has started, but in reality I haven't pushed the lever far enough and I return a couple of minutes later to find the bread, still sitting there, untoasted.

How I'm lost really is.

We don't have a dishwasher and I'm wonder about cleaning it.

Also is it worth getting and expensive one or a cheaper one. I've read so many mixed reviews about them.

You didn’t tell a woman to relax did you

I had a fellow walk up to me in Aldi today, about mid 40s, and he had a list in his hand. He says to me "Excuse me whats pasta?". I scanned for signs of mental illness or drugs but found none. He genuinely never heard of pasta. So i showed him the section with all the pasta types and he then says "and what about pasta sauce where would i get that?". I showed him and he thanked me, adding "See what happens when she sends me out shopping!".
And there you have it. There are some very very strange people in this world.

Some rough looking middle aged wan was passing the front of my house just as I was opening the blinds in my bedroom. She makes eye contact with me just after I had opened the blinds and then just stops walking and continues to stare at me. She was obviously thinking in her paranoid mind that I was peeping at her from my bedroom window.

Did my good deed for the year yesterday and painted my in-law's fence. My thighs and calves are in bits today.

(Perhaps thinly veiled) I have a new car, it will take me a month to get the drivers seat set right. Forward/back up/down again and again :mad:

I remember walking past a house where the occupant opened the binds just as I happened to be idly looking at the window, and we made very awkward eye contact. For some reason I instinctively waved. He waved back. Then both of us realised that we're not supposed to be waving at total strangers from inside/outside a house, and very embarrassedly hurried on.

Little one has decided that today (public health nurse checkup) is the day she has bruises on her shins from crawling. At least if they confiscate her I'll get a night's sleep
