I could write a gazillion comments on flying but I'm gonna keep it to one

People putting their jackets/handbags/bags etc under their seat so me behind them loses legroom. Oh they won't put these in front of them as they are supposed to as then they lose their space

While I'm here this craic goes on inter city Irish rail. There is a massive luggage rack overhead and also at the end of carriages but again they take my legroom

On the train I always put my stuff either under my own feet (not under my seat but my actual feet space) or under the seat in front of me, simply so I can see it at all times. I'd be really paranoid about someone nicking stuff out of my bag or just nicking the bag altogether if it was under my own seat and out of sight. I would have thought everyone has that paranoia?

Walking through the office to go to the bathroom with a tampon stuffed up my sleeve.

Get to the bathroom, realise the tampon is not there.

Panic ensues, I decide I must have left it at my desk.

Walking back to my desk, I see it. Lying there in its bright yellow wrapper in the middle of the floor.

I'm now sitting down again and I don't know how I can casually retrieve it without attracting attention. I realise I sound like an immature 12 year old but I'm the only female in my department. HELLLLLLP.

If you're the only female in your dept they know it's yours already, so you might as well go and pick it up before someone steps on it. I do empathise, thought - the same thing happened to me in class when I was 15, but there were 5 other girls in the class so it wasn't as obvious that it was mine.

It is ok to fail your leaving cert, not everyone is going to go to college, would a mechanic need maths or Irish? Would a Hairdresser need geography or german/french? Telling kids and do remember they are still kids that its not ok to fail a subject or 2 is putting way too much pressure on them at such a young age, and as for your "mental health problems blah blah blah" you really need to educate yourself on mental health.....ironic considering the topic.

This is after hours so I wasn't expecting everyone to get so serious.

But in my opinion, everyone throws this mental health bulk**** around the place so much that if you don't have some mental health issue there's something wrong with you.

I despair for the younger generation who have their head stuck in a phone or tablet and don't know how to do some of life's simple tasks because they can't find the app for it!!!

If you don't put the work in, it's ok because someone will give you a like on Facebook and you can wait for the state to give you a handout.

Study. Get the results. Go to college. Get good job. Have the nice things in life.

Don't study. Don't go to college. Become some blue collar slob. Lose your **** when your new car costs €2000.

Your choice!!!

"General compliance training" at work which involves watching a 76 minute video and answering a quiz at the end. You can't get to the quiz without watching the video. 76 minutes of pure and utter bullshyte. Seventy-six. FML

Oh my god sorry but this is the funniest thing I have heard all day

My TA was going for lunch and the place was packed so everyone was forced to interact with strangers as there was shared seating. Then of course some random guy sitting in front of me decided that he wanted to engage and the questions started. It was really awkward but then I realized he was cute so I decided to engage back but there was another loner at the same table listening in and I was morto so figured I'd give the talking guy the chill till the loner left. Well he took a fookin age to leave and then eventually did so I could have the bants with talking guy. Then realized that since I was lunching alone, I hadn't bothered with makeup and I was wearing my flats

Now I am panicking about seeing him again because I have no idea what height he is! I only saw him sitting down. Why was lunch such a production?

TA'ed that a perfect steak went to waste.
Brown = matured meat = can be very yummy.
And the date on the package is not a "definitely will get food poisoning if you eat it past this date" stamp.

The steak was off, it smelled rancid.

Why can't people just say what they mean? Instead of dropping hints, which make your mind go into overdrive, and you arrive at a conclusion much worse than the actual truth.

Attention seekers.

Sun shining in the window on the bus or luas.

That it is still only day 4 and not even 10am yet.

Two weeks to pay day.

People who think they're great because they put f*cking berries on their porridge. "Doesn't matter about the daily bottle of shiraz and deep fried mars bar, if I put these here berries on my porridge I'll be cleansed and healthy."

The kid has lost another tooth. This is the fourth. Tooth fairy has come and done her business.

I suppose I have to throw the tooth out but it seems so wrong to be throwing away a piece of him.

When the sense of complete irony is lost on people.
People that aren't self aware.
Starting a new skincare regime and having an angry sore spot on my chin

A few years ago I was helping my mother looking for something, and I found mine and my brother's incisors at the bottom of the drawer of my mother's bedside table. I thought it was very sweet that she had kept them all those years.

Also, when he's being a brat you can show him the teeth and tell him you're going to use the DNA to clone a better behaved version to replace him.

Mwhahahaha!

TA: washing my hair.
I HATE washing my hair. Detest it.

TA: being so lazy and indulging my laziness by booking in for a wash and blowdry because I CBA to wash my own

Sales assistants.
I don't like talking to people at the best of times, but I was browsing products in a health and beauty section the other day.
I had earphones in and a cap on, so my eyes were barely visible as I looked down at items. Was this enough of a hint that I didn't want to be bothered? Apparently not. Assistant approaches, saying something that I can't hear, I studiously ignore, but she moves around toward my eyeline still talking. I walked away and made a purchase elsewhere.

Leave me alone, if I want help I will ask, or I will stand there looking around with an air of stupefaction.
I realise that others will see my "rudeness" as a TA, but I have learned from years of experience not to give an inch

You can blame management for that. The assistants get in trouble if they don't harass offer assistance. There is an accessories store which is particularly bad for this. They are so pushy they put me off going in there.

I have my nieces bday present in a bag at the end of my bed. At about 3am last night it decided to pipe up. I was woken by it singing "I'm a soft and fluffy cow, hug me love me all day long". To say I almost had a sh!t attack is an understatement.

Twice in the last couple of days I have pulled my purse out of my bag to pay for something and have managed to pull out a tampon at the same time! Damn tampons

Robsweezie · 17-08-2017 12:04PM

got a pizza from a new italian style place that wasnt my usual, a meat pizza, opened it up and found the ''sausage'' was some weird shiit that looked undercooked and pinkish, like random animal innards/intestines (could argue thats prob what regular sausies are anyway). smelled iffy too. went to share it but they insisted they wouldn't eat it. picked it all off in the end. just not appetising.

i guess i was just expecting something like the typical irish sausage they put on most pizzas, even if it was an italian joint.
