    I'll will see your cold coffee and sour milk and raise you salt in tea instead of sugar. It took days for the the taste to shift and I still shudder just thinking about it.

    Reminds me of the opportunity that presented itself the other day after I made a cup of tea and the GF said there's a doughnut left there if you want it.

    "Doughnut mind if I do" says I. I love cheesy puns :D

    TA'd now that I have not even a rudimentary biscuit to go with my tea at home.

    Happened to me one time. I'd had an operation but just a day procedure, was still anaesthetised for it though. So I was still half out of it when they brought me tea and toast, there were packets of salt and sugar on the tray, idiot here adds the salt to my tea and only realises after I'd had a nice big gulp, urrgh.

    Easily solved. Send your daughter to the shops, ask her to get 2 quid from her purse. :cool:

    What could possibly go wrong?

    The half awake half asleep place when ppl coming off nights and will be on days at weekend.
    Newsletter in post box(god knows how long it's been there) from local cllr, saying its his "summer update", fairly sure there haven't been other seasonal updates from him.
    Doing the across the pond thing next week, so have to do all kinds of cosmetic things to banish the appearance of cave woman I've become since my last visit, so much work to visit O/H.
    Local cllr taking down my fb comment when I asked what traffic/front line rules will be in place for the big concert he is claiming credit for.

    I'm going to fcuk this phone out the window,it's driving me mad as it keeps freezing and I have to back out of the page to fix it every single time.

    Finished work until Monday and had great plans to do a big clear out in the house but I'm on the couch feeling tired ,unmotivated and generally in shocking form.

    My ex is doing work for a work colleague and she is totally besotted with him...been singing his praises to everybody in work even in the tea room (she seems to think that it should be some kind of compliment for me)...I'm biting my tongue but a few of my friends are finding it hilarious and imitating her to me constantly...they're pushing it now though and I will snap.(I'd do the same to them but that's irrelevant imo ðŸ˜)


    TLDR..I need a new phone and new friends.

    Have you tried (not joking) turning it off and back on again?


    TA I have eaten my way through today.

    Still can't properly zip up a dress I bought for a wedding next week because of pizza and zero willpower. I swear the second my brain thinks "diet" I'm suddenly seven pounds heavier :mad::mad:

    I'm useless with phones but I'm thinking it might be a storage problem but it only happens on board's and sorts itself after I've been on here for a while..very annoying.

    Raging period pain all morning, never get it, and feel wiped out now. I had myself convinced I was actually dying, that there was a big massive something or other inside me that was going to explode and poison me :(

    I found a cheaper car insurance quote cheaper than the broker I have been with the last two years. Jumped in feet first and bought it without doing any thinking. I'm such a dope, didn't realise no windscreen cover on it. It is all conducted online so waiting around for reply to a query I have. I blame it all on stupid fcukin hormones, not thinking straight lately at all.

    The stupid guilt I felt at ringing the broker and telling them I had switched to someone else. It is like buying meat at the supermarket when I usually get it at the butchers, makes me feel like a traitorous hoor :(

    Had my bi-weekly one-to-one with my director. Said the exact same thing and told me the exact same story as our last meeting. Bit pointless. Has no new work for me. Boards it is.
    TA'd at his maybe "too relaxed" approach to management!

    Craving all kinds of naughty foods/drink that would never normally cross my mind, brain obsessed by every single sugary/salty/fatty morsel.
    Have bloods on tue so I cant even think of them, in case it sends my levels up.

    Are the postman and your courier two different people? Cos Asos come by Fasttrack/Parcel connect who tbh deserve a TA thread of their own.
    Yes they are dpd people. Post man came at 11am so I only had to wait 2.5hrs to pace the place waiting.

    List of TAs today.

    - Fidgety people. Trying to do a very precise job today, the lady kept opening her eyes, whipping her head around, nodding her head. I swear to god at one stage I put my fist in my mouth to stop me from shouting.

    - poorly stocked shops. You advertise yourself as selling xyz but yet anytime I go in there you never have xyz but plenty of sh1te that I font need

    - pushy sales people. Missed call after missed call after missed call, an email to tell me there's a missed call, then calling my workphone. Jesus Christ **** off already.

    - so now we're back to me being impatient. I see all these missed calls and instantly I'm furious, don't ask me why, who knows. I ring back one number that I've 8 missed calls from, it's eir and an automated message saying they'll call me back. I'm practically waiting with my finger hovering on my phone to answer and lose my sh1t with whoever spends their working day harassing those who have to go to work.
    Then I call the other number, it's the bank. Do you think I get through? Nah son.
    "Hi we're phone banking" I don't care who you are stop calling me if you've nothing important to talk to me about. He keeps interrupting me to tell me he'll have to put a callback request in for me, I was brimming by now. I don't want a call back I want youse to stop ringing me. Did I win the euro millions?! Are you ringing to tell me the euromullions is in my account? "I don't know I'm not from the branch" I swear to god his smug calm voice was raising my blood pressure quick smart. He passed me over to his manager who I am pretty sure is certain I'm not playing with the full deck but stop ****ing calling me don't put a callback request in for them to call me for me to tell them to **** off.

    - absolute morons texting me asking me stupid questions. Does google not work on their internet hmm?

    Outlet stores. Yay. Super cheap prices.

    But wait... where are the Medium sizes? Why is everything (everything) f'ing XXXL or XXXS????


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,373 ✭✭✭selous


    Whizzed around Dunnes today in 25min all the shopping got, up to the till with 2 people ahead of me, on person had 3 items, grand stuff, 20 minutes later I had finished my transaction.. :mad:

    The one with 3 items had eaten the item she was checking out from the deli so had the wrapper to scan and the coffee needed to be done too, and she queried the price of the last item, it was cheaper than scanned, person celled and checked it, she had the large one, the small one was the cheap one, duh.

    the next person had everything ready to go, but the one on the checkout looked at everything, read the back of everything, chatted away, looked at everything, talked to the one in the other checkout,

    I lost the will to live, she asked me what was up, I said theres 15minutes of my life i'll never get back, she checked me out slower, f**kin furious I was.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,585 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    Keeping to the annoying customers ahead of you in queue theme, I was in Aldi earlier picking up three items I needed for dinner and there's were two people ahead of me in the queue. The fella at the top of the queue (with a trolley load of goods of course) had his card declined and must have stood there for what felt like eternity wondering why it had happened rather than stumping up the cash he had on him. Take your time there fella, we aren't in a hurry here at all.

    He was a forty-ish year old man with a spider-man wallet so I assume his OH usually does the shopping.

    People who go to aldi always seem to get trolley loads! I always buy about 4 things, and stand behind the trolley folks looking pitiful and they generally wave me through.

    On the TA phone front, my iphone 6 keeps pressing mute or loudspeaker or facetime when I'm on calls. I've tried the reset buttons. And before you all say that'll be your chubby cheeks, my cheek size hasnt changed since my iphone 5c prior to this.

    Which relates to the next TA, my new gym routine. I'm on a12 day kickstart ketosis type thing eating loads of fat and doing loads of weights from Monday on. AND NO BOOZE. Horrific.
