Or the dog on back seat with head out the window, yes it looks cute but any sudden braking and yikes :(

When you have the letter printed and signed and the envelope addressed, stamped and sealed, and you realise you've forgotten something.

Power up laptop again, edit letter, print, sign, new envelope, new stamp, address and seal again.

If I have forgotten something else now it can stay forgotten.

It's the snail-mail equivalent of this:

Always TAing when you write the envelope and then notice it was the wrong way up. For some reason I manage to do that far more often than random chance would indicate.

TA that my other half is not at home today but only remembered earlier that there is someone coming to work on the broadband today. He rang Vodafone and they said the person would be at the house in the next 20 minutes. That was over an hour ago. I have my neck broke looking out the window for him pulling up instead of looking at my work screen.

I live in a rural area. A narrow bridge over a canal has lights as it can only accommodate 1 way traffic at a time.

The lights operate on a sensor, but loads of clowns stop way too far back from them so the lights just stay red. I've lost count how many times I have had to actually get out of the car to tell someone to move up.

Especially when they all have to congregate at the queue for the till together, making it a very tight area

when you search for text in a page on boards (i.e. vanilla), and it seems to find something, but you can't see it - and then find out it's found the text in a quote, but where the text has been hidden.

There's a bridge like that near Cloghan in Offaly. A few years ago I was behind a French registered car stopped too far back, I got out and pointed the stop line, no real TA.

Of course the lights changed and the fcukers behind nearly drove over me as I was trying to get back in my car grrr…

Ego… if a person asks for a good piece of steak cooked medium, listen to them and cook it that way. That’s all you have to do… making out you are some sort of Gordon Ramsey and having an encyclopaedic knowledge of what’s healthier and insisting that they ‘should have it’ well done because, is pretty annoying, overbearing and makes you look like a control freak psycho….

magicbastarder

surely it's the other way around? usually you hear people saying that the worst way to cook a steak is well done, you're doing the chef a favour etc.

What chef or even person would suggesting cooking a steak well done?

I've never heard anyone with any food knowledge suggest that…

Maybe it wasn't a chef but a family member…

Waiting almost half an hour after my scheduled doctor's appointment, in the hope of getting my bloods done (no real other reason to go), only to be told they don't do it on a Friday evening. Meaning that I had to schedule another seperate appointment for next week.

Surely the receptionist could have told me that when I was booking the first appointment no?

I don't know whether this is a genuine typo or one done deliberately to garner attention, but either way I'd expect so much better from our national broadcaster, especially on a literary matter!

It even appears in the linked article.

€5.50 for a bit of Kerrygold butter. It was three quid a while ago.

magicbastarder

It's been a very long time since a pound of kerrygold was three quid, in my experience!

SuperBowserWorld

You could put a bit of butter on the spuds Andre

URC final tomorrow between Leinster and the Bulls on TG4 - what’s wrong with RTE 2, most of the population does not speak Irish and I like to follow the commentary, no chance now. It’s a fast moving game and by the time I might be able to decipher some of it, the move is over. Well annoyed

Deregos.

Getting back to the car after a descaling and polish at the dental hygienist, only to see in the mirror that i had a big, hard lump of bogy lurking just inside my right nostril. That poor girl had to endure that lovely sight for the last half an hour. Embarrassed isn't the word.
