These "Have you ever been to......" threads! Just fúck off and use the Travel forum or something

Stupid questions, people who play dumb, and anyone who baby talks to another adult. It's not endearing or cute, it's annoying as fcuk.

Mollyb60 · 16-12-2016 05:39PM

Not having enough superlatives when making small talk with people. I'm not good at small talk.

TA'd that I feel guilty whenever Surreptitious posts about not smoking cos I'm still smoking even though I said I'd give up.
Fair play though..you''re doing great!

TA'd that I thought I was finished my Christmas shopping but other half reminded me I had one more present to get for a friend and I'd completely forgotten!

What the hell has happened banks in the past three months?! (my last time in one)

I just walked into the Bank of Ireland in Montrose/UCD and it was all upside down, full of machines and snugs of various sort where customers sat on their own. I looked for the cashier and not a sign of him/her. Two auld fellas were there and they were both fiercely bemused at the comings and goings of this "bank". They were looking under the enclosed things to see if they could see human feet and if they belonged to a BofI official. We had no queue; the three of us were down the back at the wall standing up chatting and looking around as if it was 1980 and we were at mass. I then noticed a BofI official walking around and going into the people in said snugs.

Finally, one of these elusive BofI people approached me and I explained my atm card was missing and I just wanted to withdraw cash the old-fashioned way. She looked at me pitifully and explained that they don't deal with actual cash in the bank anymore. And that this is the new Bank of Ireland way since last month. This was 15:50 and she said I had 10 minutes to find another bank that is old-fashioned enough to deal with actual money as we used to understand it.

I drove up to Blackrock, made it in the door at 15:59 and was delighted with myself to have made it just before the weekend closing. To my horror that branch, too, was taken over by machines. A man appeared and explained, again with kindness, that what I was looking for belonged to an old time - yes, a definite Oisín i ndiaidh na féinne moment! - and I would now have to wait until next Monday to find a bank branch which actually gives people cash.

Time to raid my coin jar this weekend!

The woman that was talking to or explaining something to Sean O'Rourke this morning and "you know" was said after every 4 words, I hope she listens back to it and notices it herself, bloody irritating,

And the Australian one that squawks the news at you on Radio Nova, good Chr!st tone it down, read the news to me please, not squawk it at me......am I getting irritable now..

Thanks

The main reason was I was living somewhere I couldn't smoke. I'm able to smoke again so we will see how long I last! Here's hoping.

My whole body aches from hauling stuff and the kitchen is a mess but I've work to do so will have to wait until tomorrow. It's a tough life. My screen is filthy as well, can't see the words I'm typing.

Everytime I light the stove recently there seems to be a down draught..the whole house fills with smoke and it stinks the place,we'll be carted off with smoke inhalation shortly .

Truck drivers who park in quiet areas but leave their engines running for no reason. Now, I know some trucks need the engine running to power refrigeration or cranes - that's not what I'm talking about. Today we had atruck parked near our house, in a residential area, delivering a sofa to neighbours. Half an hour of loud idling and fumes, and for what? They didn't even use a lift on the back.

When you start to eat a bag of Doritos (or the equivalent Aldi brand for the peasants among us), the length of each crisp is directly proportional to the amount of dip that is available within the upper half of the jar.

As you make headway into the bag, the fully formed crisps in the upper half are replaced by the broken excuses for 'Doritos' in the lower half. These half sized crisps are now also directly proportional to the amount of dip that is left in the jar.

This causes me to rub my fingers against the inner sections of the jar while trying to reach the fruitful bottom, which leaves an unavoidable mess.

Sigh. My life is a joke.

Feckin houses on Grand Designs House of the Year. They all look like barns on the outside, and unlived in on the inside. Clinical boxes.

A spinner yoke for the chimney, worked for my next door neighbours.

TA'd at myself.

Why oh why did I watch Zoolander 2?!

Idiot.

This really used to annoy my father too. We lived at the bottom of a cul de sac, and every weekend the lead singer in a local band used to park his van outside our house for an hour or so (around 3am or 4am), with the engine running. After a few weeks my father got pissed off and went out to tell him to eff off home with himself, only to discover that lead singer was banging the arse off one of his backing singers, which lead singer's wife would not have been happy about.

in movies when theres like -10 degrees snow everywhere and they are speaking with no white breath clouds :rolleyes:

Scented candles that may as well just be called candles because I certainly can't smell them.

I wouldn't mind but it's a Yankee one!

gossamer · 18-12-2016 08:04PM

Teenagers.

I almost forgot how much I hated the little sh1tbags.

Rogueish · 18-12-2016 08:12PM

We forgot to leave the bins out on Thursday night for collection on Friday. They are 90% full and won't be collected again 'til the 30th. Crappity Crap!

Cortina_MK_IV · 18-12-2016 09:10PM

"And now on UTV, Midsomer Murders where you can expect scenes of violence." On a series with murders in the title? Getaway! As opposed to those non-violent murders. :rolleyes:

Articles on Facebook seemingly offering nutritional or medical advice, only to plug their products/business way down in the blurb.

Notsomindful · 19-12-2016 12:58AM

People who remain seated in a buggy area of the bus when a buggy gets on.

People who nearly knock people on.crutches over ...due to rushing.

There was a fella on Joe Duffy a week or two ago and he kept saying 'You know'. I was gonna smash the radio off the wall!

You might be able to bring it back to them. I read about Yankee recalling some candles due to glass shattering.

TA at having a sore throat for about 6 weeks, a mild dose of the sniffles this weekend which I took Sinutab for. Taste buds still not 100% but that doesn't stop me eating crisps.

I have it now. Throat feels like there's lava in it. My own fault really, too much beer and rich food yesterday.

You can sense the pace has slowed at work, yet I don't finish till Friday......

A guy I'm friends with copies nearly everything i do for his girlfriend.

He asked me "about those dangly yokes" I wear. I tell him my Alex and ani bracelets. Next thing I'm inundated with snapchats from him of ones he's buying her.

Brought her to my fav hotel after I mentioned being there and how good the bridal suite was. Requested the suite.

I mentioned how much I loved a certain set of body products, guess what? He bought her lots of it for Xmas.

I wouldn't mind so much if we had similar styles. We don't. She's hoodies, runners and jeans. I'm dresses/skirts and heels. She prefers cross body bags, I love big huge fit the kitchen sink into them handbags. For her birthday, guess what he ordered? A huge bag from river island after I said it was nice.

It's so annoying, it's really bothering me but i know it shouldn't.
