You may have damaged the inside your eye lid with something and the resulting scar tissue feels like grit. If thats the case don't make it worse by trying to get out a piece of non existent grit.

Thick politicians. Latest example your wan who put the illegal posters along the Dublin marathon route. When questioned by the Irish Times she said it was only a local rule and to be illegal it would have to apply all over the country. Duh, "local rules" are by-laws and fully legally binding in the area they apply to. The crazy aspect of this is that she's a barrister!

Seriously, is this a thing?

People actually video themselves in the gym? In front of total strangers?

Sweet lord, that's new levels of narcissism there.

I'm normally off Monday but had to go somewhere.

I opened my window on the way in the car and it blew loads of dust on top of me.

I found it hard to defog the car and turned on the heater.

Then I started sweating.

I put on my coat then to cover the dust and sweat patches.

Now I'm in room full of people and afraid to take off my coat.

Also, I'm parked in a car park which might result in me getting clamped.

I'm hungry.

Had to make a claim against my travel insurance 3 weeks ago and still Chill Insurance are yet to allocate my claim of less than 1K to a handler - pathetic service, so annoyed. Can’t get a response from my business insurance either and now Next dragging their heels on my refund for items sent back almost 3 weeks ago which An Post says they delivered within 2 days of posting.

I love dogs but I hate dog hair.

That actually triggers a vision in me of some sort of headless robot going around cleaning a room :)

Sounds like a scratch on the eye or lid. It heals a bit then that rubs off and starts again. Can take over a week to heal fully. Used to get it a lot when I used a chainsaw full time.

Current eye TA is that I have a "floater" in my right eye and its taken two days for me to stop trying to brush something way that I think is hanging off my glasses. It does seem to be getting a bit smaller. Started one day like a tadpole in my close vision. The really long tail looked like a hair hanging off my glasses.

People who walk their pet cats on a leash

That's not bad going, tbh. I rang my GP on the 27th of August about my infected spider bite and the soonest they could see me was September 9th…

• 1. Eye Floaters - i can see them in my field of vision especially against bright backgrounds. Drives me mad sometimes…

2. D1ckheads "walking" their dogs off the leash - particularly on greenways.

3. Rude and Ignorant Fcukers who do not respond when you say "hello" to them.

4. Tinnitus - my ears are ringing 24/7 and there's nothing i can do about it.

5. Cyclists and E-Scooters riding on footpaths.

6. Drivers who are allergic to the use of indicators - especially at roundabouts.

7. Trad Music and the sudden Gen Z obsession with same.

8. GAA Cliques.

9. 7 ft tall pr1cks standing in front of me at a gig.

10. Gobsh1tes who constantly post status updates on Social media - nobody fcuking cares!

Maybe it's just me being a middle aged cranky git - but i'm sure a lot on here will agree with most of the above.

Our dog sheds loads of long white hairs. Up until quite recently, we did have one of those robot vacuum cleaners we'd been gifted, but it would very quickly get clogged up with all the dogs hair, until one day it just choked altogether and died.

My misses is always slagging me, blaming my ever receding bonce for all the white hairs everywhere and for them being responsible for suffocating the vacuum cleaner 😅

Oh I dunno, is it better if they just let them loose to sh1t all over the neighbourhood? Don't ever go to Finland, cats aren't allowed out loose, so all owners walk their cats same as dogs😁

I don't normally get the bus in the city.

I arrived at the stop just on time and had to ask the driver am I on the correct bus.

A woman then sat behind me with a face mask so I moved up stairs.

I then noticed I left my glasses dow stairs and had to go and ask the driver for them back.

I'm coming across as a real clueless bogger!

Go into recordings, then scroll down to Manage, then down to deleted items. You should see all the things you’ve deleted recently. When you click on that show you’ve deleted you’ll get the option to undelete.

I feel weirdly emotional today - like PMT if I wasn't an aul one. Odd.

Can't wait to go home, been one of them when you just want to cover up with the duvet, stick on crap telly and eat junk.

I know it's the thought that counts and all that, but - someone just brought me some Reese's PB cups. I never had one before, they didn't appeal to me. I thought, I'll give them a try, since I've got them here.

Well, they taste like sweet, rancid untoasted peanuts. If I were to imagine the taste of sweaty, mouldy socks, that would be it.

Absolutely rank.

Never heard of them :-( Looked them up, you should be more TAed because they look like the sort of thing that would be left over after Trick or Treat.

Oh, I don't mind leftovers, be they after Halloween, Valentine's Day, Christmas, Easter, whatever - gimme! Provided they don't taste like sweaty, mouldy socks.

Ordered two CDs from Amazon last week.

Got a dispatch email which I read quickly - looks like only one was sent.

Package arrived Saturday. Large envelope. Ripped open the top and took out the CD that I was expecting. It was in a jewel case.

Didn't check the rest of the envelope and threw it out on Monday morning just before the bin was collected.

Just checked the dispatch email again and see that it included both CDs. Looked up reviews of the second CD which mention that it was packaged in a flimsy cardboard sleeve rather than a jewel case so would have been very light. Ouch!

Feeling like you've a full week's work done already when it's only Tuesday.

I'm on the same emotional rollercoaster today. Started crying when the original Circle of Life was played on the radio earlier for goodness sake.

My TA: the only way I can coax the wife to go to a GAA match with me (has complained that I went out celebrating when my club won county titles over the last two Sundays) is to promise her a night in a hotel afterwards. Never a feckin' run of the mill spot either- most expensive match I'll ever go to.

I work for UK Border Force at "an" airport . . . passengers from Northern Ireland arriving on flights from Dublin arguing that as NI is part of the UK they shouldn't have to present identification - you've from another country within the Common Travel Area, so you need ID. Actually, as this is part of an intergovernmental treaty, it really isn't trivial at all.
