Things that you would be too proud to do

bobbyss

What things are people too proud to do? Pride being a vey deadly sin!

Would you apply for a better paid job knowing your new boss would be your next door, much younger neighbour? Knowing that this new boss would be very much on your case as it were. A big pay increase mind?

Look for a reference from a specific person in a company having left on very bad terms with that individual?

Dress up for a fancy dress party and feeling like a .......idiot.

Pride can make fools of us all.

Does it make you feel better spending twice the money in dunnes or supervalu for the same thing?

Get a cleaner. I know a lazy fu.ck who pays some Polish one to clean their house. I'd sooner sit in filth than have someone clean up after me.

Needless to say I usually am surrounded by filth.

You'd be surprised why you may do if you have to.

There are things you wouldn't do today, however you dont know what you are capable of doing given the right circumstances

Supervalu price match a few core own brand items that people pay attention to the prices of

Otherwise they are tortuously expensive, far and away dearer than any other store.

Many people had that opinion in the first few years when they came to Ireland. They (Aldi & Lidl) have totally transformed since then....)

I pay a cleaner to clean my apartment. She's brilliant. Place looks like a show-house after 3 hours and the paltry cost of 36 euros.

They also don't compare like for like.

They had an adverts comparing blueberrie punnet prices with those in Tesco on a bus stop last week. They compared their cheapest with Tesco's most expensive ignoring that you can in fact get a punnet cheaper than they themselves sell. It's misleading

I used to make spaghetti bolognese with the sauce from a jar.


Never again. I didn't know any better until I was shown how to do it with regular tomatoes.

Not a million years would I take a job in this scenario. It wouldn't be due to pride. I have no interest in seeing more of the people I work with than I have to...

This is such an Irish attitude haha. God forbid we'd pay someone to make our lives a little easier. That might be too pretentious!

"Paltry" is relative. Also, daily, monthly?
Honestly, not knocking, but just curious.

I always thought that if someone mugged me that I'd just hand over my wallet just to avoid conflict.

A while back it actually happened and I didnt hand over my wallet, the red mist descended and I was going to kill the guy that did it.

What I meant was you dont know how you would react to a situation until it happens.

I shop in my local one because it's absolutely spotless and they stock a lot of local suppliers in the fruit/veg/bakery and it's all fresh and great quality.
That's one thing I hate about Tesco- less Irish brands stocked.
