I have bought antihistamines several times in various chemists, trying different makes of them to see what works best. I would have told them I have tried such and such, not so good and then they recommended another one to me. So why da fuq have I ended up with 3 boxes of them , all ceterizine dihydrochloride ? They are all the same damn thing and I still turn into a vegetable when I take one

There are loads of new "coffee shops" popping up here in South Dublin lately. All such establishments allude to the supposed great coffee served up by them with a nice pastry to go.
My last few first experiences of such places is average / weak coffee, bland pan au chocolat and dull listless scripted conversation with the counter staff

Boys who don't text back :mad: I find it difficult to accept rejection without a detailed feedback/ Gap analysis. How can someone just, not like you for no reason? Asking a male friend why said boy hasn't texted back and him getting grumpy because "there isn't just a singular male conscience you know" :rolleyes:

I'm afraid you were ghosted Missus, never nice, I know a good few women where it's happened to them, I never understand anyone that would do that.

TA just as soon as I strengthen my resolve, delete his number and erase him from my mind, he sends me loads of messages telling me how much he likes me. Too late - you snooze you lose!

Lifts, sweet mother of divine is there another single item that brings with it SO many TA's?

- waiting for a lift. Always takes an age to arrive even though there doesn't appear to be anyone using it.

- waiting for a lift and feeling relieved that there is nobody waiting with you so you can finish listening to that song on the way to your desk. Lift takes so long to arrive that some happy, chirpy talkative f*cker turns up and ruins the journey.

- Waiting for the lift and seeing that it is stuck on the floor above and hearing the chatter from overhead - stop holding the f*cking doors. have your conversation elsewhere!

- Hearing someone coming behind you and jumping into the lift hoping that they wont make it, but somehow the doors that usually close in 2 seconds pause for several seconds allowing the person behind you to jump in also.

- When the doors just close and then someone outside hits the button and opens them again.

- The ridiculous small talk about the weather/ weekend etc on a journey that takes forever

- people stopping the lift and asking if you are going up or down, then declining to come on board as they are going the other way. Why did you press the up AND down buttons??!

- when the lift is really crowded and there is literally NOWHERE socially acceptable to rest your gaze

- how other people in a crowded lift never talk and I feel (and act on) a compulsion to break the silence with an inappropriate comment that makes them think I'm on the spectrum.

- When the lift stops, not knowing whether to alight first or let the other person alight

- When the doors open and someone tries to get in before you get out (?!)

- Waiting for a lift and when the doors open someone is standing there but waits a few seconds before leaving - what are you waiting for?

Still, it's better than taking the stairs.

TA that I can't eat magnum or a shed load of other things, or use skincare products because I'm allergic to flaming coconut oil.

breadcrumbed is the worst! Just fcuk off forever or be consistently in contact. The false hope of a breadcrumb is too cruel.

Been there, it's an absolute b*****d, really hate my time being wasted, actually it's sort of happening to me at the moment, this date I had in f**king June, she doesn't live as near to me as I'd like and she lets on she's into me but she's making it impossible to meet up, making it very easy for her where I'll go down to her but every weekend there is an excuse. Has my head completely melted. Have had a number of arguments with her over it, never had I had an argument over getting a 2nd date.

Ball buster isn't the word. Super disheartening all this waiting around, feeling led on. And to top it off she gets pissed at me if I go back on Plenty Of Fish which was where I met her! Get off the fence and I won't feel the need to then!!

Men/boys who dont have the bol*x to say, "its not working for me" or "The timing is wrong" isn't the sort you want a relationship with, you would never know what was happening.

Ta'ed this kind of behavior is still happening.

retro:electro · 28-08-2017 11:25AM

Deja vu.
The feeling you've read the same thing somewhere a million times before. It's odd. V annoying.

Ta'ed I dont have anna80's memory, unless its about something I already know its always news, no matter how many times I read it.
Ta2, the million phone calls I got this am to tell me something I already knew AND to seek out info that made the caller look good to a colleague. Sometimes working from home just isn't worth it.

Boom_Bap · 28-08-2017 11:35AM

In the local shop yesterday, standing over the ice cream freezer and I address Mrs Bap and Daughter Bap

Boom_Bap: Do either of you want an ice cream.
Both: No thanks.
Boom_Bap: *picks out an Oreo Ice Cream and pays for that and the other stuff *

Go Outside

Mrs Bap: Can I have a bite?
Boom: Sure
Daughter: Oh, can I have a bite too
Boom: Sure

I get handed back a penny sized piece of the Oreo Ice Cream.

Both of them are being written out of the will.

Did you post this before?

On ONW's post about lifts. My TA is whenever I enter a lift and some asks "are you going down?"

My mind immediately delves to the sewer and I have to bite my tongue.

hairyslug · 28-08-2017 11:42AM

This has been bugging me for to long.

To turn off my phone:

Hold down on a button for 3sec.

Confirm that I have pressed that button, incase it was a mistake.

Confirm again, if I pressed the 2nd button by mistake which I had to press to confirm that the 1st button wasn't a mistake.

TA that it's a bank holiday in UK

Dramatik · 28-08-2017 12:08PM

Whenever I buy a cappuccino, the barista asks me if I want chocolate on top? Of course I want chocolate on top! What kind of sicko wouldn't want chocolate on top? What? Are you trying to say I'm fat or something?

Sometimes I jokingly fantasize whilst in the queue about recreating that famous scene from pulp fiction, the ' if any of you mother ****ers move, I'm gonna execute every last one of you ' scene and while everyone else cowers under desks etc. I ask for cappuccino and when the barista asks if I want chocolate on top, I instantly kneecap them before they get to finish the sentence.

Potential employers claiming they will negotiate pay, when in fact they can't/won't.

I know, i want to do all my usual internetting but have to be super careful!

I'm TA that a man just shouted at me in the street for no reason. I was walking along and noticed a man coming towards me, walking his bike along on the footpath with shopping bags hanging off both sides. It's a narrow footpath but I scooted over as much as possible so I didn't get a whack of his shopping. As he passed me he shouted "maybe if you took your fucking head out of your phone!" and I've no idea why?!

My other TA is that it seems to be acceptable for drivers to no longer stop at pedestrian walkways in supermarket car parks. I'm talking about when you're actually standing at the walkway trying to cross and cars just keep driving through. And not just one car, I'm talking about a line of cars. It annoys me because these people have obviously had to use these walkways when attempting to get to and from the entrance to the shop.

Your daughter did it as a revenge for how you treated her teddy bear in the buggy that time. Not sure about your wife, you'll have to think about that.

Or when someone asks if you want to 'come over'....eh yeah..but no...but...

TA is having a salad for lunch and feeling all healthy and saintlike but then the voices in my head are telling me that I need a Yorkie bar.
