Now that The Late Late is finished, they are wheeling out Miriam O'Callaghan with no doubt the same jaded RTE "stars" to join her...

TA at my lack of restraint. I don't live anywhere near a Marks & Spencers. So when I am occasionally near one I usually pop in to get some of their delicious biscuits, usually buying about 3 packets. Yesterday I was in a branch and I was starving with the hunger. And I ended up spending €52.50. On biscuits. Delicious chocolately shortcakey melty crumbly buttery creamy biscuits. €52.50.

Be wiser to break up that purchase; spend €10 or €20 (forget how much) and then they give you a coupon for €5 off if you spend €20 (this amount varies; this is the current one) there before a certain date. Repeat as necessary (and keep your eyes peeled for receipts with this offer lying around).

Nearly fainted in the shower. I am a shadow of my former self. I need to paint my toenails but have no energy. Must not succumb.

The best answer I ever received from a consultant was 'Life'. The question was 'What causes this?' (skin issue). €180 for that profound advice. My John McEnroe moment with the medical profession.

My ta: workers in restaurants who don't know that when a knife and fork are together that you're finished your meal, and therefore when they are not together you are obviously unfinished. It would be nice to have a conversation without the repeated interruptions about whether we're finished or not.

Why do people make videos with their phones in portrait orientation? Vertical I mean. Just turn it so its side in landscape mode, like a tv. Like as photo. ffs. I mean you don't watch TV with it turned on it's side.

The bin is out being collected and my wankstain neighbour comes down this morning, sees the bin is out and rather than bring it in like a normal person , he throws his sh!t on the ground for someone else to deal with. Am I his skivvy to pick up his crap. Who does he think he is. Plus the bin collectors had been around already, you couldn't not hear it. I could actually kill someone now, no word of a lie. There are people out there think that other people have to pick up their stuff after them and I'm female and he expects me to do this as I'm on the ground floor. I wish him a bad day on top of his yelping girlfriend I have to listen to every night.

People who use speakerphones on a conference call. Do they not realise that people just stop listening to them because of the terrible sound quality? Or perhaps that is the intentional.

Grown adults, maybe 40 or 50, acting like kids and having a birthday party with a cake, balloons etc.

I blame social media for this.

I'm in my late 40S and haven't had an actual birthday party since I was a teenager. Never felt the need to, or want one.

Seen a man celebrating his 40th all over FB last week, complete with a Liverpool cake whilst he was wearing his Liverpool shirt. Grow up would ye!

nearzero · 27-06-2017 11:29AM

Jobs I'm interested in all based in Dublin City Center.

Are you still barred from Dublin?

How is celebrating bad enough? Most people celebrate the 30/40/50 etc ones and the in-between ones not so much. It's not uncommon to invite friends, but you need to have some first.

I'd lose them pretty quickly if I invited them around to see me blowing out the candles on a Liverpool cake with a Liverpool shirt on.

Reminds me of when I went to a new dr, in a new town, cause I was having digestive tract and shoulder pain constantly. She did the exams and gave me a script, as I was leaving she asked if I did any exercise, I say yes, she says "you have to do more", goes on about 30 mins per day and did I swim? I said "No I dont, too many close calls as a kid, but I walk to work 5 days a week and back around three", she all but rolls her eyes and snaps "how far is your walk to work then", the puss when I said 45+ mins depending on how long it takes at traffic lights each way.
For all her smartness, she missed a heavy chest infection, gall bladder infection(caused by my cystic nature and not cholesterol) and food allergies. Some of them believe too much of their own hype.

Couldn't see properly so took my migraine tablets and thankfully caught in time and I should be grateful but now I'm left with a really ouchie headache. Humph.

Ah sure it's the only thing Liverpool fans have had to celebrate in a while.

notsoyoungwan · 27-06-2017 04:52PM

People chewing gum. They always remind me of cows chewing the cud when I see them.
This TAs me even more cos I quite like chewing gum myself but won't do it in public cos of the above.

My mam has replaced the word "photo" with "selfie". Too often she says "take a selfie of me Anna". She never listens to me when I correct her.
I remember showing her a picture of my new bathroom tiling and she said "is that a selfie?"

That's like a TA of mine - I like coffee, I drink it by the litre but if I was never to get another cup would I walk down the street/in around shops sipping out of a take away cup, really annoys me seeing it.

Another one like that, my flatmate was standing at the front door which faces the path(strangely lol) a girl walking along the path screams at him to stop "stalking her", he said he was just standing there and she starts on about how she is going to call the police about his "stalking", lucky they both spoke Chinese and he was able to correct her use of the word stalking for looking.

Tho honestly I thinks she had more problems that not being taught the correct english for things.

TA'ed that this conversation was had at 6.45AM, when I had just gotten off to sleep from nights.

FOOD NAZI'S
My boss dropped in for a catch up, as she sat down she spotted my almost daily bottle of Dr P, and starts to give out to me cause its not diet(Ive not found it in diet versions outside of London), she on about sugar/weight gain/diabetes, ect. I said the the dietitian I see has said its the better of two evils and sugar is better than the sweeteners they put in to claim something is diet or sugar free,additionally constant eating is a major factor in developing diabetes as well. On and on she goes about how bad full sugar is and how diabetes is no laughing matter etc etc etc. Honestly how can an educated mature woman think that they phychio sciences found in magazines is more reliable that the information a trained dietitian gives?

I get a call from one of the school's I have a charge in, "could I come get her, she's sick and its upsetting the other girls in her class", having spent most of the weekend sourcing and failing to find a receipy for wheat/gluten/nut/egg free cakes that should be low sugar and if possible vegan, as they were having a cake sale today. In the end I spend at least an hours salary buying a cake that hit the criteria. I had an idea that what was wrong was the child had eaten some nuts, so had a rash, and after a while slight breathlessness. Some parent completely disregarded explicate instructions from the school, brought in what was handy for them, careless of the reaction other kids may have to that. So now im stuck in a&e, will be here for a while, cause some ppl only thinK of themselves. TA'edx10000000000000.

Getting to the selfserve check out after queuing for ages. Scan everything in only to realise that I dont have enough cash on me and my cards are at home.
The scouls of those in the queue as I went through the rigmarole of getting some items removed.
TA at myself. Again.
