I was slightly impressed because An Post seem to have started their own courier company, which I'd never heard of until I saw it on my AddressPal email (so they take shipments as well as deliver the ones from the UK forwarding address. No, I don't work for them.) Then I had to go through the verification process to track my consignment.
Tap the centre of the street sign.
Tap the squares with bridges. (Is that a bridge?)
Tap the mailboxes. (Does the post the mailbox is mounted on count? That's in another square)
Tap the squares with a car. (Wait, is that car slightly extending into the next square..should I tap that?)
Is that a bridge?

I still had to click 'I'm not a robot' and then it told me there was no consignment information.

I woz cozed major iritance last night. It never occurred to me before to look back at old threads I would have posted in 7/8 years ago. Jesus I was cringing at myself, they read as so creepy, but I couldn't stop. Almost as bad at looking at my debs photos. I like to think I have a refined and polished posting style these days:)

On my old account it is disgraceful to read.

it wud read lik dis sumtimes

As a guy... when you're peeing. And then you go to wash your hands and, suddenly, water somehow manages to land on to your pants leg without your realising.

If the water got there without you knowing, how do you know it isn't slash?

That add on tv, I kept on hearing it from another room and I would think one of my cats was being attacked outside but then would realize that they were both fast asleep. The second time I heard it I thought some seagull was being tortured to death. The next time I hear it I realize that the sound is coming from the TV in the other room but I'm wondering what could be making that horrendous sound, I narrow it down in my head to it being some advert for animal cruelty. Finally I manage to be in the TV room when the advert is on, turns out that it isn't some animal being tortured to death but it is in fact some excited child opening a present! I didn't get to see what kind of context the advert is in so maybe the child is special needs or something so if that is the case I'm sorry but Jesus christ is it annoying, it is also one of those adverts that seems to be much louder in volume than the other adverts which is also really annoying.

TA that I have no idea what the advert is for so I can't complain on their facebook page

TA The male doctors assuming my surgeon is female. It's bad enough that the lay people always assume. I know very few of them here are female but they do exist. And then one doctor keeps saying ''he..'' even when he's reminded.

Eugh, I had a Monday morning from hell. Realised I had left my wallet at home (having driven 30 minutes to the bus stop) so no travel card, no cash, no I.D to get into work. Managed to get to work only by visiting a friend's parents near the bus with my cap in hand to beg a fiver off them. Then they asked if I wanted money for lunch and their faces when I said "no thanks I have lunch with me, I'm very organized"- so organized that I have to beg at 8 30 in the morning! Got to work, late of course - no shoes to change out of my runners. Nail polish chipped to death and my boss comes straight over to hand me something and sees it of course. I had to get emergency cash from an ATM. I've been evicted from my own life and it's not even midday yet.

Got my hair cut now there are lil hairs on my tshirt making me itchy while in work

Also ran out of deodorant and had to use one that must have been sitting there for a while......I honest to god smell like toilet duck!

In the usual course of events people tend to TA me with positive action i.e. it is things they say or do that annoy me however, and this might warrant a pedantry award, I realized today that people who do nothing also TA me! Not people doing nothing in general, but those weird individuals who sit beside (or worse, in front of) you on a bus or tram and do nothing. Like, they don't listen to music. They don't read a book or newspaper. They don't mess with their phones. They just sit idly, watching other people. Eugh. Go away.

So I had dinner with my parents and the mother in law last night (and the missus of course). The mother in law is wondering what the mushy peas are and I am trying to translate so I say "umm mushy erbsen". Well, erbsen means peas alright in German but muschi means pussy so I basically said to her "these are pussy peas". At least she and my missus started roaring laughing

That's me!

Sometimes I look at my phone and I might bring a book on a long journey but not often. I don't ogle people though. It's hard to say what I do. Sit there appreciating the thinking time.

TA ran out of materials for a project.

You win the monday morning kick in the groin competition. TA at that. But on the plus side the week can only get better from here.

And that's just sh*t that I brought on myself. It's one thing if the rest of the world TA's you, but managing that level of destruction all on one's own

TA waiting to be hungry for lunch.

People who try to tell you that a Majool Date is barely distinguishable from chocolate or caramel and insist on cooking things that with them that would otherwise be lovely if they'd just used the damn chocolate or caramel.
No healthy people, you've just made me eat something that tasted like old grapes and boot leather, it was penance, it was nothing approaching delicious.
It's a form of cruelty that frankly should be punished.

I agree, I'm also TAd at dates, I don't like them either - and they looked like squashed cockroaches, too!

Perhaps you need to stay off Tinder.

My ''pure fuc*in anarchist'' friend going full fruitloop on Facebook again. She's like a Madonna impersonator. Her latest photos are pornographic (literally) and nobody can say anything because she posts several updates to say ''shove your judgement up your a**'' just in case anyone was thinking of it (well I just did anyway).
She's doing it for attention and it's not a good kind of attention to seek.

Bredabe · 04-09-2017 01:28PM

Am working in my sleep today, TA'ed ppl keep talking to me and expecting a response!

OldNotWIse · 04-09-2017 01:47PM

Perhaps not trivial but people being drunk on planes really annoys me. I mean nobody cares if you have a few and you're in good spirits because you're off on holidays or whatever but increasingly over the past year or two I have seen more and more people really drunk waiting to board. The fact that they are allowed keep drinking on board is so annoying. What if a fight kicks off? Where are the rest of us meant to go? Gobsh*tes drinking in the airport and all the way to the boarding gate as if there will be no more drink tomorrow. Idiots.

schizo1014 · 04-09-2017 01:55PM

TA'd that the phone rings at work. I know it's my job and all to answer it but still, they could just not ring it.

Widdershins · 04-09-2017 01:57PM

Really TA with the expressed very strong opinion of my (naked) friend on the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. The DSM IV Is ''Pure evil' and they lock people who are ''just different'' up and they abuse them and electrocute them just to make them conform. Ffffffs! Naive at best. Could people just kindly not expound on serious issues without having experienced them? 'Tis close to the bone for me and my blood is at a rolling simmer now.
