    Didn't rinse the lid of my flask properly and now my coffee tastes slightly of washing-up liquid.

    Not enough to stop me drinking it though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,926 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    Actually, it was bad enough to stop me drinking it.

    I'm allergic to myself.
    Got a new glue in work and I have really bad allergies with it.
    Sneezing, eyes running, my perfume is irritating me. The fabric softener off my clothes irritating me. I'm going around work with a dust mask on to try stop the fumes getting in on me but I can't even enjoy my sneezes because my eyes are sore.

    Whenever I go to the barbers these days I have to wait as half of the staff are busy trimming guys beards.

    I am tortured.
    My Sky isn't working so rang Sky, they said they couldn't fix it and sent me to an engineers. The engineers said it had nothing to do with them. Rang back Sky THREE times to try and work it out. They said ring your landlord to get it fixed?? It literally took hours on the phone for them to arrange for a Sky engineer to come to me. I dread my phone bill. Have their brains been replaced by bubble wrap, because I think they have. All they had to fkcing do from day one was send the engineer out and this has been going since June. One of them was humming and hawing on the phone and hadn't a clue. Who trains these people? Jesus wept.

    Some filthy beast has spilt coffee all over the inside of the work fridge and just left it there.

    I don't think there is a more annoying customer service system out there than Sky. The way they get you to speak into the automated machine to describe your problem, and then it can't recognise what you're saying! Ahh!! My voice gets more stressed and louder each time. I just want to shout "the fcuking tv isn't working you fcuking dumb fcuk!!!!!" "Sorry, we are having difficulty understanding your problem- please try again". Deep breaths.

    This! I actually think eir must have a warning in my account. *physco alert*
    I'm actually usually ready to rip off their heads and **** down their throats by the time I get to talk to a live person. One particular time about four years ago I was transferred about 9 times between different people/departments. The final person I got talking to tried to transfer me elsewhere and I'm actually losing my sh1t like a sh1t collector with amnesia ranting down the phone telling them they had riding customers down to such a fine art did they have lab rats to practice on and he's like "please Alex I'm trying to help you here". Lord I was only fit for the Valium by the end of it.

    Actually annoyed me again thinking about it

    Long term illnessðŸ˜I'd be in there with you..the "I can't cope with BS "thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,900 ✭✭✭InTheTrees


    You're in a line of cars and you come to a traffic light that goes red so traffic stops. Except the car in front of you keeps creeping creeping forward... so you have to keep creeping forward behind or you'll leave a huge gap.
    Grr.

    Personal issues :D
    You do realise the majority of them a written by a troll (I know who he is) and some people spend their lives just replying to threads written by the same person. What gullible fools but he's a man child with the mental age of a 7 year old and Boards just allows him to to carry on deceiving everyone, the same troll who was the escort in the AMA escort thread and has thousands of accounts on here.

    My TA when you get out of the shower, dry yourself vigorously and forget you have a foot blister.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,572 ✭✭✭Colser


    When you're exhausted and get into bed but you know you need to go to the loo and just haven't the energy..I'm going to try and sleep through it.

    Or the same when you wake at early o'clock. If I get up & go, I'll be fully awake. Will only have a broken snooze if I stay in bed.

    And another thing, saw a chap wearing 2 baseball caps yesterday. Thought initially was a double peaked one, but was 2 separate ones on top of each other.

    Waking up after a good night out and on looking at receipts seeing that I was spending €11 on some mad variety Gin and Tonics at one stage. Must have had money to burn.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 23,190 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how


    When you get up in the morning, strip the bed clothes off the bad and put on a wash but 5 minutes later walk in to the bedroom and see a pillowcase on the floor. :(

    The word "punter" so beloved by tabloids - lucky punter wins lotto! Punters stranded by airline strike etc

    A taximan was telling me once he gets punters around my area

    I corrected him, excuse me I'm not a punter. Im the customer or I am your fare.That sorted that

    This is my TA


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,062 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    One of my neighbours has acquired a few terrier-type dogs. They yap-yap-yap when they see you, as if you're invading their territory. I'VE LIVED HERE FOR OVER 40 YEARS! YOU'RE HERE 6 MONTHS!!!!

    Would a cannabis-type drug help for chilling out? (For either me or the dogs...)

    I have a viral ulcer on my felt eye. If feels like there are shards of glass stuck in it and I have turned into a vampire and cannot stand any light at all :(

    On the plus side I have to wear an eye patch and look like a pirate with my parrot on my shoulder :pac:
