A massive TA in my job: all those European election pamphlets have addresses on them (as opposed to generic publicity post) so we have to ignore 'no junk mail' notices. But every political party has a two-day window to get their candidates' leaflets through the door (FG had Tuesday Wednesday, SD today and tomorrow, we aren't allowed overlap), usually we can spread the junk mail over a week to slowly distribute them.

Which means our post is literally doubled every two days now with these damn leaflets, that are largely ignored or thrown into the bin anyway, and it's going to be relentless until the election on June 7th. It's not if we aren't busy enough with parcels as it is!

AAhhhh, I never realised, I always thought anything without a name could be regarded as junk mail. Jaysis, that's sh1t. I feel bad for ye!

Ronnie O'Sullivan. The biggest whinger and drama queen known to man. Sick of seeing him in the news with his nonsense threatening to quit every two weeks. You'd think it didn't take him a quarter of a century to win 7 world championships against players hugely inferior. Give me Stephen Hendry any day of the week.

Mine too and I’m so TA’d I phoned An Post to be told they are government pamphlets. No they’re not, they are people wanting to get into government, they aren’t in government yet. Going back to the post office today and they can dispose of it.

I also got huskvana pamphlets too in my no junk mail / post box can only be opened by a an post - they are getting them back to - first patient works at an post, she might take them back for me!!

What do you mean strapping? Thanks.

Knots in laces that always appear at the wrong time. The more tired you are, the longer it takes to sort.

Signing up to something and they requiring a utility bill or likewise as proof of address.

This middle aged wan who works in the coffee shop at work. She’s all nice and cheery with me when I’m at the counter getting a coffee . However the masks slips afterwards and she behaves like a complete and utter weapon to the young trainee staff there.

Ok sometimes I post in here late at night but no one is obligated to respond and people don't get binging notifications. I've two WhatsApp groups one professional and one social that seem to think it's acceptable to post **** pre 9am. When did this become acceptable? And also people ringing in the middle of the night like on a school night and not an emergency or unique circumstance...just thought they'd ring for a chat? When did that become a thing?

This x1,000,000. As if there has never, in the history of either sport, been a single instance of crossover between rugby and GAA fans. Or that the 82,000-odd Leinster fans that are going tomorrow are exclusively from D4 and have never set foot north of the Wall Liffey in their lives. Sure how do they think we all get to the airport to go to our villas in Chamonix and Cannes??? 🙄

Where I live gets overrun with day trippers if weather is too nice… I'd settle for dull, dry and not too windy on a bank holiday weekend, but looks like it'll be wetter than that :(

I am finally sitting down on the couch with a cup of tea after an 'epic' day of delivering those pesky things. Added basically three hours to the day. The thing is, the route I am on has over 1300 properties, and consistently has the most parcels every day. So to add election stuff to an already busy duty turns it into a brain melt. Added basically three hours to the day

Even worse, the majority of people on the route are Eastern European so may not even be registered to vote over here. That's not even including those who immediately throw them in the bin (I can't do that unfortunately).

Pain in the hoop.

The Continental Op

Fridge packed up last week (couldn't fix it gas had leaked out) and this week the oven has packed up. Fixable just need to wait for Amazon to deliver a new element at the princely cost of £12.85.

Then wife had to remind me. "Good job my mother isn't still alive, she'd say "things go wrong in three's so now something else will go wrong""

In the year before I moved from apartment to house … the shower, oven, intercom phone and washing machine all went :(

The worst timing.

Just as bad as your condescending, oblivious boss calling you a "good girl", when you're way closer to retirement than to your youth and when said boss is less than 2 years older than you.

Walking boots that are very comfortable and keep the wet out, but are as slippery as ****. Lethal on a wet gently sloping footpath, nevermind rocks. Not sure how they got past QA.

SuperBowserWorld

Penny dropped and I googled ..

Merrell boots

"Many of our styles feature Vibram (which mine do) branded rubber soles, which is an extremely durable material.  The ridges provide added traction - particularly when ascending steep climbs on the trail. The compromise for ensuring the rubber is hardy is that they can be a bit slippery on urban surfaces."

Jasus - so they are good for ascents but screw you anywhere else 😁

I have a pair with Vibram sole... different make... have noticed same issue. Most comfortable pair I have had - once off footpaths.

Basically what amounts to free ads for estate agents on the likes of the Examiner.

Overpriced matchbox of the week feature. "Affordable" houses. Affordable for who? Bill Gates?

When someone repeatedly asks you if you want some food off their plate and you are full up from your own. You politely refuse three times and then have to do a flat no and they get offended. Christ give me strength!

Quiz at work - what is longest day of the year in 2024?

Three multiple choice options - 19, 21, 23 June.

None of them correct as the assumption was made that it's "always" 21 June.

It's the 20th, this year, isn't it? On account of it being a leap year etc.
