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.

I think there is a formal cooling off period with most insurance products bought online. Check the small print.

People who Snapchat you from concerts. It never sounds good. I don't care. It's pissing rain. Piss off.
Also TA'd at unexplained bruises on my legs.

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?

Wow that's a very, very bad day :pac:

Tried to do a good deed and ended up morto.

Was in Dunnes getting "the few bits" earlier, and there was a woman ahead of me with a big trolley of shopping. The cashier asked if she had one of those €10 off when you spend €50 vouchers. She hadn't one.
I knew I had one in my bag going out of date in a few days, and I wouldn't use it by then, so I fished it out and threw it over to her.
What did she do then only take out a tenner and INSIST I take it. Like, roared the shop down when I protested.

So I ended up selling someone a voucher and she got no benefit from it and I looked like a scabby weirdo

That must have been especially embarrassing, she really should have just taken the voucher and said 'thanks'. The odd time the cashier has given me one that's lying around and I'm always grateful.

TA can't sleep.

Very awkward!
I had an experience which was the kind of the opposite on Monday.

I had 2 of those 10 euro vouchers and my shopping only came to 60, so I asked the lady behind me did she want a voucher as I wasn't going to use it.

The look she gave me.

"I have my own thank you very much" she says in a very snotty manner, as in, I don't accept charity.

Fair enough, I gave it to the cashier and said can you give that to the next nice person who doesn't have a voucher!

TA'd at being looked down on for trying to do a nice thing

Also TA'd at the winter-like weather

Getting given out sh*te to over a parking fine.

I paid for 1 hour 30 minutes parking, for what was meant to be a 15 minute job. Ended up being 1 hour 40 minutes, and got the €40 fine in those 10 minutes. Ball of crap.

I was driving my dad's car at the time.

Now both my parents are absolutely up in arms over it, because they will not transfer it into my name. I've repeatedly asked them to transfer it into my name, and they won't, and I don't have a copy of the fine (as it went to my dad.) And now my dad is being brought to court, and is guilt-tripping me that he'll end up in jail over it.

Just tell them. To put. The f*cking fine. In my f*cking name. I was driving the f*cking car. It's my responsibility.

Is what I'm telling them. Without the curses.

It's just ridiculous. It's not going to just go away unless they either transfer it into my name, or pay it. I want them to give them my name. They won't. No reason not to, I'm insured as a driver on the car, it was fully taxed etc, all grand. But they won't.

So I'm being roared at for something I can actually do nothing about. I'm 31. It was a once-off that I borrowed their car, usually it's actually the other way around, them borrowing mine.

Just let me sort it out and be done with it. My god. If they knew the few days I've after being through. It's not been at all easy. A parking fine I can deal with. This Cold War/WW3, at a flick of a switch, is not easy at all.

I'm actually at breaking point, and have been through serious sh*t personally in the last week and they know it, and they're flipping out over a parking fine. Really. Really?

I know it was all my fault, but I can't fix it if they won't let me!

I'll raise you to people who go to a concert and then upload 156 blurry, unfocused photos into an album called 'Rihanna 2017' of the stage from the very back of crowd.

SusieBlue · 30-06-2017 10:57AM

When the phones in work are busy, and I answer, and it turns out the client has of me straight on hold. So so rude.
5 minutes later and the annoying on hold music is still going strong along with a helpful message that someone will be with me shortly. These people rang me, not the other way around!!!!

Iseedeadpixels · 30-06-2017 11:19AM

Long moany list....

Crap sleep.
Broken phone.
Upset stomach.
Annoyingly loud Brother who doesn't stop shouting.
Monthly reports with slow internet speed.
No idea whats happening with my contract in work.
Stupid ex.

But its the weekend...
I love this thread.
You guys are awesome.

If I wasput straight on hold I'd hang up...if they ask to put me on hold I'd give it 1 min or 2 on a good day...if I feel that I was put on hold for no good reason or to make them look important my tone will indicate my annoyance and they won't get the usual Colser attention to detail.On the other hand if I can hear children in the background going into meltdown and I'm put on hold then I'll wait all day and thank god that I'm in work and not minding small children.

The post office when they don't push your stuff under the glass and you have to wedge your hand underneath

I do it back to them now when I sign something.I leave it on my side of the window

Bredabe · 30-06-2017 12:36PM

Trying to give my newly moved out of the ex marital home a few bits he's short of, we have a cupboard full of bedding which has been there since we used £, put what he needs in for a wash when I came in and just hung them out now, still smelling of damp, stuppppppppppid energy/water saving washing machines.

Ppl who use the word chat when they mean talk.

What a stroke of luck, you turned next to useless vouchers with an expiration date on them into real money.

One thing that annoys me more than it probably should is when they raise the volume of the ad breaks on radio and TV. It's downright scummy hard selling behaviour and as if that's not bad enough the 4OD service has taken it to new lows by doing it with just one ad that 3 times the volume of all the rest.

I see any station or company that uses that tactic as scum that will do anything to sell their crap and they go on my boycott list.

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.

I do my weekly shop in Lidl as it is so cheap and actually a lot of their food is nicer than what you find elsewhere. I will always let people ahead if they have only a few bits.

TA the weather this morning. Has Ireland even heard of summer? I spent an age perfecting my hair only for it to fall flat when the feckin damp hit.

Also TA how everyone seems to manage to skive off on a Friday afternoon but there is some shít guaranteed to hit the fan with me every Friday.

What a stupid aul bat. It's so nice when people offer nice things like that, god some people are morons. Wouldn't mind she was probably all fur coat and no knickers. It wasn't even charity, it was just discounting! And even if she was up on her high horse about using a voucher - she feckin had one herself?! TA that this post TA's me probably much more than the event TA'd you lol

InTheTrees · 30-06-2017 01:42PM

When you have to toot your car horn at someone doing something stupid and they feel the need to honk back at you. Why? Are they saying "oops sorry" or "fcuk you"?
No idea.

I hate that ad volume sh*t.

Always the case on Moncrieff. Happily going about my business on a Friday afternoon and I have to stop what I'm doing to turn down yet another f*ckin Lotto ad.

I know the f*cking Lotto is on today. What the f*ck makes you think intruding into my afternoon is gonna make me want to stop what I'm doing to nip to Spar and give you my Euros for a one in a billion chance of getting anything back??

My TA catching up on housework as I'm off.

Getting an itch on my face when I'm doing the washing-up.

Meeting people I know in the gym.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a really friendly person. I will talk to anyone, but not in the gym.

Sorry but I'm not one of those giggly girls who spend their hour gossiping by the water fountain, neither am I a middle aged woman who uses the gym as her local cafe, chatting to everyone about everything.

If I get talking to you, it's taking away from my workout and I take my work-out seriously.
I'm paying enough money to be there; I want to exercise.
I'll talk to you later!

Incidentally, I saw a girl in the weights area today and she spent about twenty minutes texting, sitting on the floor.
Why bother coming to the gym at all?

TA'd by the length of time it takes for my oven to bake a bloody potato.
Jesus it's no wonder I don't cook them often; it takes AGES.

TA'd that I asked my fella to get a bottle of wine for tonight while he was in Tesco.
He comes home with a bag of food but no wine.
He forgot the wine.

Miaireland · 30-06-2017 05:36PM

TA. At work in a town where there is a major power cut. Every single customer has come and asked me why I am sitting in the dark with alarms beeping. This is despite them passing 30 other businesses in the darkness and alarms beeping!

Colser · 30-06-2017 06:05PM

I've about 20 pairs of black boots of every style/height but none of them are exactly what I need tonight..I'm ready now but not going out for another half hour and I know I'm going to go back upstairs and try them all again before I leave the house..TA at being so indecisive.

Was in tesco last week and saw two women having words. Met one of them in the basket checkout afterwards and she said she had asked the woman ahead of her in the queue for one of the main checkouts (with a massive, full trolley) if she could skip ahead as she only had 4 items.

Yer wan told her to go down to the basket checkout! Couldn't believe it - wagon!
