Someone stole the seat you paid good money for and expects you to stand instead? Fooooooooook that for a game of soldiers. Seriously! Toughen up woman! All you do is hover over their seat and say "excuse me, that's my seat" and rinse and repeat if they start with the excuses. "OK. That's still my seat."

If it's just some randomer chancing their arm then they will be having a nice standing journey but when it's a family and I get the sob story with it, I just can't do it.

TA I'm not as cut throat as erica74

Oh I'm very cut throat!
2 notable incidents is when I booted 2 nuns out of my pre-booked seats and a mother and child out of my pre-booked seats. The nuns were a bit arsey but the mother was absolutely psychotic.
She was in a big group, about 10 of them, and the rest of the group were also in pre-booked seats but the people who booked those seats didn't move the others in the group so the mother and one child had to stand. She spent the first 15 minutes of the journey complaining loudly and some fool gave up their seat to her and her child. The mother was roaring at my husband and I about how we should have more respect for the youth! Eh, it's the other way around - respect your elders! My husband had to go off and get a staff member and she quietened down then.
The nuns were arsey and didn't want to move at first but eventually they got up without much argument.
And I'm sure someone will be along to tell me how terrible I am but it's very simple, if you need a seat, book one. If you don't like how Irish Rail operate then take it up with them, not other passengers.

I have seen discussions about pre-booked seats turn into arguments, screaming matches and fisty cuffs.
And people who try to rob seats always act like they just landed on earth and don't know anything about the world of public transport.

Agree 100%. If having a child means that you will be in dire straits without a seat then f*cking book one. The world doesn't owe you and your sprog anything.

Happened me on a plane a while ago. Got on last as I don't wish to be one of those plebs who queues for an hour at the gate as if the plane is a bus that will fill up/ take off without me. Tagged on the queue as it neared the end. Got on and there was this fella in my seat. I did the usual polite thing, excuse me I think there has been a mixup etc, and he sat smirking and ignoring me. He was surrounded by all his mates and crazy girlfriend who either had booked seats or stolen seats and bullied people who had them booked into submission. Anyway he just ignored me. So I called an air steward and explained, and he was quick enough to move then. Crazy gf started shouting, "yeah well he was just about to move anyway!" when he clearly wasn't. What is wrong with people??

TA my lunch ranked zero for satisfaction.

TA Friday afternoon meetings. It's Friday, I don't even want to adult today never mind bring my brain to the meeting and be innovative.

Just TA adulting in general. The only time I like being an adult is when I get paid, am allowed to drink, drive and go on dates. The rest of the time I want Saturday morning cartoons and a big bowl of sugary cereal and for my biggest problem to be deciding whether to swap fancy paper or stickers with my best friend next door.

Is it Groundhog Day for you? I'm sure you complained about this before because I remember thinking who in their right mind would buy a buttered roll from a deli

My TA: People leaving you voice mails that sound important but you only understand one third of what they're saying because they a) sound so muffled they seem to be calling from Antarctica and b) talk way too fast, as if trying to break a speed record. Speak loud and clearly or STFU!

retro:electro · 18-08-2017 01:17PM

TA that my feet are cold and I forgot to bring socks home with me.

Also was just walking my dog there and passed an older man and he did the biggest fcuking spit right in front of me. One of those spits where you hawk up the contents of your throat first. Mank.

eisenberg1 · 18-08-2017 01:17PM

Once and for all...it's ALDI and LIDL!

There is no such place as Aldi's or Lidl's.

You don't refer to Dunnes as Dunnes's, do you?

Don't even start me on Dealz&#55357;&#56842;

Went to the shop for a roll from the deli as a treat for lunch and it was really gross. Also cost €4.20 even though I only had 2 fillings. Such a disappointment in terms of cost and taste.

At least it wasn't a plain roll with butter only :pac:

TA waiting for the world day to end....

OldNotWIse · 18-08-2017 03:21PM

TA that ad for the tiny nappies for premies. Every. Single. Time. Who put a bowl of onions here? :mad: The teeny little mite, and the way she closes her eyes at the end when she is snuggling up to someone. I could watch any amount of weepy films and scoff at the sentiment but show me that premature baby and the tiny nappies and I am gone.

Agreed.

I saw a young couple asking an older couple very politely to move from their (young couple's) booked seats, a few years ago. Well such huffing and puffing by the pair who had helped themselves to the seats. Lots of passive aggressive 'enjoy your seats' comments as they took their time about moving to spare seats.

And the way she raises her arms up like she is a little superhero which I guess she is!

TA having to go out on a Friday when pj's, shiraz and good book are preferable!

Winterlong · 18-08-2017 04:44PM

I was at the Happy Mondays gig last night.

I saw them once before when I was 18. On that night we went to an all night party in a warehouse after the gig. Chemical help of all sorts. Limbs were sore for a week from the dancing.
Last night I had 2 pints before the gig and was home in bed by 10:45.

TA at my own tameness.

Such entitlement like! It's hilarious. It infuriates me that people feel they have to pander to these types or be apologetic about the fact that they forked out a good few extra quid because they have their lives in order and aren't leaving the fact of getting a seat to chance. Feck off like!

I've got London tube rage though so quite enjoy being assertive with arrogant arseholes on public transport.

If I might ask is there something on train seats to show it's reserved ? (sorry no TA but I haven't been on a train in decades)

Robsweezie · 18-08-2017 06:05PM

the price of stuff in garages, got a 4 pack of milky bars in pound shop for 1.50, single bar in the petrol station for 1.05. didnt buy, just compared.

likewise for bag of sweets, 1.50 in pound shop and 3.30 in the petrol station.

understandable, you're paying more for convenience. but i'll stick to the eurogiant.

18-08-2017 06:12PM

I'm in the train. Why can't they all just go away. With their burger eating and their shíte talk and their "what will we have for dinner" and their seat hogging.

I don't like these people.

I recently bought a Fry's Turkish delight in a petrol station for 1.03, to then discover you can buy 3 for 1.50 in eurogiant so I too will be sticking will the euro shop the savings are def worth it.

Not eating for hours and hours and then overeating. I feel sick

zcorpian88 · 18-08-2017 09:26PM

This amazing looking waitress, great personality too, who I've been sort of friends with for a while but I've had a crush on her for ages, always a bit of flirting in passing (she became single back in February) waited a little while before asking her out...asked her out in April, turned me down.

I go on Facebook today to see she's with a new guy, and he dresses like a f**king a hardcore rapper and takes a load of ridiculous selfies of himself, have actually seen this gobeen in passing in a restaurant recently too sitting at a table on his own, taking selfies of himself, moving his stupid Dr Dre looking hat all over the place trying to get the perfect shot.

Him....she wants to go out with him! FFS (hits head off wall)

I touched a slug!

(Not a euphemism - I am not zcorpian's waitress and the slug is not the rapper eejit boyfriend...)

A slug made his way into the bathroom and hid behind my washbag. When I went to move it I felt his soft sliminess! (Seriously, this is not a euphemism...). He stuck to my hand

I'm not scared of creepy crawlies, but Ewwwww!

Was in Tallaght yesterday. Round the square and village.

Sweet Jesus do they like their traffic controls in that place.

Tallaght is to parking what a scared woman with a baby in a dark alley, is to the silhouette of a random man approaching.

aaahhh ahhhh he's going to park, don't you park here, you keep away from me, you stay away from my parking.

If you could look down from a plane you'd see yellow lines on the rooftops.

In bed all comfy then remembered I forgot to wash my face
