I was well away from the main door as I always am. Some people are just thick and ignorant.

Things we try to copy over here but money gouging rip offs or plain disingenuous when we do them:

Christmas markets

Farmers markets

Black Friday

Bit the inside of my cheek earlier. And now because it's swollen, I keep almost biting it again. It's only a matter of time…

Some people just have no consideration about what happens to other peoples property ggrrrr 😡😡

My TA - is how we're all restricted on the amount of Paracetamol you can buy in one purchase, yet I can collect a months prescription of it, 250 tablets , without question. It boggles my mind.

How much advertising influences me . I’m after ordering a spin mop because of an ad . I need one anyway as I can’t get replacement head for my old one . I only have 2 small floors to mop .

And the amount of housewives you see driving those new fangled machines that think their steering the titanic given how long it takes them to maneouver in car parks/on tight town streets, is ridiculous.

My TA: house is inundated by tiny flies. I assume fruit flies. Like something you'd see in sub-Saharan Africa.

I swear I'm gonna invade that building site next door to me and grab one of these digger drivers and place him under his rock breaker and see how he likes getting his skull pounded by his rock breaker.

Agreed, it's just as ridiculous as needing a doctor's prescription to get proper saline (i.e. pure water and salt) or having to pay close to a fiver for a small pack proper gauzes or having to pay close to €150 for a 4-week dose of liquid levothyroxin, whereas in the continent you can get saline and gauzes for cents, liquid levothyroxin for a fiver (for 30 days, not 28) but a 12-pack of paracetamol also costs you a fiver (but you can buy 50 boxes, if you like). One would be forgiven to think it's a cartel, or something.

My father has 3 or 4 steam cleaners for the same reason. And multiple mini-fan heaters (the ones you plug directly into the wall). We should really block all the shopping channels on his telly.

That reminds me of the time in new York and after a few "smokes" we'd order crap off qvc or some channel

Dial Hard

When you order mussels (in Ireland, obvs) and they're those non-native monstrosities. The really big ones give me the ick, and there's absolutely no reason for us to be importing mussels.

Also, nobody (I assume) likes sitting in traffic. So why oh why does it take people so everfucking long to move off from lights, make turns (especially left ones) and generally just react to ANYTHING on the roads???

Having to agree to a mobile phone use policy for a work phone that I was given (against my will) and which I will never use. It's such a massive waste of time, effort and money.

If I was stuck for money ye wouldn't be offering me loans. Feck off with your emails bank, credit union 😝

GAA 'stars' having their retirement announced on the national airwaves - like it's news.

Move on lads. Nobody gives a feck.

Far from trivial - just been informed we're back in the office five days a week from the new year. Nooooooooooooo 😭😭😭

Had to check the name on a polling card earlier. Two identical, non-related surnames with the same address (no defining house name to differentiate), but there was a first name on one of them I hadn't came across before. My assumption was it was a family member abroad still on the register.

Anyway, knocked on the door of one of the two possible houses, only to be informed that I had the right one, but the person it was for had literally died fifteen minutes earlier.

Wanted the ground to swallow me up.

Waiting in a queue at supermarket counter, the one in front of me was bragging about her SIX Christmas trees she had in her mansion of a house to the server.

Absolute notions.

Politicians with all their false promises and lies. They'll say anything to get elected . . I suppose that'll never change.

How perfect would it be if the supermarket in question was one of the discount chains…

I'm imaging a unused Keeping Up Appearances plot where the Waitrose delivery missed an important item for Christmas Dinner and poor old white gloved and hatted Hyacinth and having to queue with the plebs… Richard parked out on double yellows looking mortified.
