    Hugs.
    Hope the Glenroe's settle for ya soon.

    I am more than TA'd at how stressors turn me into a person I don't like. relatable

    I've new neighbours and was on edge all weekend listening to their noise.

    I hope to god they realise how loud they're being, TA at living somewhere I hate with all the fibre of my being, ok, more than trivial, but still…

    A certain in-law whose favourite pastime is talking trash about members of my family and disguising it behind it being 'just a bit of fun, ha ha' God forbid anyone ever said a word about any of their oh so perfect family. There would be murder.

    Opened the boot of my car and a light plastic bag blew out in a gust of wind. Not wanting to litter I followed it. Just as I was about to pounce another gust blew it in under a car 😁

    I could see it inside near the front wheel but didn't want to go after it in case the owner came along and thought I was interfering with their car.

    I had to stand around and act casual waiting for another gust to blow it out again, probably took a minute, seemed longer, felt like an eejit

    Got it in one. How did they ever lower themselves to marrying into us riff-raff I will never know 😂

    There must be an awful lack of earphones/ earbuds in London, the amount of people with loud speakers on their phones..

    People like that just need to be called out on their nonsense. Pussy-footing around them just enables the behaviour.

    My TA: Took a precious WFH day today and my laptop is on the slowest go-slow ever the past hour or so. Have tried restarting to no avail, and if it doesn't sort itself out sharpish my boss will 100% expect me to go into the office to finish out the day.

    You need to get yourself an electric blanket or a hot water bottle at least.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,555 ✭✭✭✭cj maxx


    Nah , cold makes me sleep. A woman in the bed would help though

    Inflatable doll full of hot water? Two birds, one stone. 😁

    Worse still, those people who "dont smoke" until they're out for a drink so bum one off you.

    F*** off and buy a packet and bring it out on those nights!

    The type of AH that when you are looking for a parking space in an unfamiliar car park…insists on putting his bonnet up your exhaust !

    Glad I left the 12 bore in the gun cabinet !

    TA that I read that AH as After Hours… I'm spending too much time around here.

    TV shows and films that show a text message or email for a very brief time onscreen which is impossible to read unless you pause it, you don't know if it's super important to the storyline or not.

    It's the obvious thing to assume. This is the real world, right? 🤨

    My TA is people using initialisms/acronyms when some of the letters stand for syllables within a word. People in work regularly mention TULs, which are tray unloaders. No, they should be TUs. 'Unloaders' is one word.

    ” god strumms, it’s freezing in here “… said after I’m in a room about 20 minutes, by a person who has been there over an hour. Yes, it’s cold, it’s February, in Ireland. Perhaps if you want to negate the coldness…..on arrival, turn the fûcking heating on yourself. 🤡 You had to walk past the wall mounted control several times including just now, again, to tell me what we both already know. That it’s seriously cold…. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    My cinema annoyance is extra scenes after the credits. I don't mind if they show it a minute or two after the end but I am not going to sit there like a ninny watching 10 minutes of credits on the off chance I get to see something extra, especially when everyone else has already left.

    TA that the TA thread is borked 🤬



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 78,090 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    The glitch has hit this thread, I repeat the glitch has hit this thread!



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 78,090 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    Whew! That fixeded it! From now on I'm going to post that siren on every borked thread I come across.

    Kids wearing their football boots in shops. FFS.

    Are there no changing rooms at the pitch? Your parents are bigger fools for letting you in their car in those things. And they're ignorant fú€ks for letting you go into someone's shop like that! Someone has to sweep up after you, it doesn't magically disappear.

    Was in a Costa recently and one of these kids, about 11, walking out, mud flicking off his boots as he went and holding on to his parents arm for balance so he doesn't faceplant. What in the name of god is going on??

    Why are the toilets in a lot of Dublin City Centre pubs down the stairs?

    Was it a war time thing that developers couldn't get rid of ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,548 ✭✭✭jacool


    P**s flows down. Might be a good thing. Its a fair test of inebriation too! Send your kid down there in his football boots!

    Sorry, I'm sure conflation annoys people too.

    Quiz shows with incorrect answers. Just watching House of Games. The category was 80s Band's. The answer was Hot Chocolate. Hot Chocolate were a 70s band who were still recording in 80s but that does not make them an 80s band.

    The constant "Everyone's just watching Netflix" narrative from the anti-WFH brigade. Who the fcuk do they think is doing this? I'm busier than a one-legged man in an arse-kicking contest whether I'm in the office or at home.

    The only person I can think of who might actually be in a position to do this does as little work in the office as she does at home, and tbh it's a massive failing on the part of the company she works for (I used to work there too) that they haven't realised that her job is very much a part-time one and they've just been paying her a full-time salary for it for years.
