My ex had a lung condition..I used to thump her back to try to bring the mucus up. I hope you stay as well as possible x

That's actually how they used to do physio on kids with CF for years! I do breathing exercises (physio) in the mornings and evenings to bring up the mucus so it won't stay down there and get infected but it's kind of never ending, I could spend all day doing physio and probably still not clear everything out. Ladies and gentlemen, form an orderly queue now :pac:

LMB - I'm available for a reasonable rate for frontal chestal massages that will probably not help your lungs at all.

TA that I have a terrible business model.

Well actually the physios often press down on my chest when I do my breathing exercises when I'm in hospital, they are usually pretty ladies doing it too

So now you just found yourself a new job, giving me daily chest massages :pac:

Ah heooorr.
A woman today in Aldi while at the till with a big queue behind her decided she forgot to get milk. She walks off and comes back after what seemed like 5 minutes while everyone had to wait including the cashier.
Very selfish I thought. She could have paid for what she had, put it in her car and then came back for her milk. But NO, she had to inconvenience everyone else.

TA'd by there ALWAYS being a bunch of people hanging around the coffee dock so I can never just make my coffee in peace. TA'd by the ensuing small talk "it's gotten pretty cold out there" "oh it has, that's the end of summer now"....blah blah blah JUST LET ME MAKE MY COFFEE IN PEACE

I find lately that this happens to me on an ongoing basis, literally all day every day. I am a natural introvert and generally find interacting with others takes a little out of me. I constantly worry about what to say, how it will be perceived etc. and so any interaction is torture even on a microscopic level - but all the interactions add up and at the end of the day all I want is a glass of wine and to sit on the couch with my dog, whom I can interact freely with.

The day is filled with miniscule, painful interactions - going to the photocopier and someone else is there waiting for their job and you have to talk sh*te about the paper trays while not knowing what to do with your arms. You can't just let them hang at your sides like a pleb. Then there's the weird dance when someone holds a door when they are coming the other way - who goes in/ out first? When you are walking towards someone in the office but they are too far away to say hi to so for two seconds you need to pretend not to see them until you are just passing and can say hi. Extra agony if they ask how you are and keep walking. Do you stop and tell them? Kitchen is a nightmare - people standing in front of fridges and presses that you need to access. Waiting for something to heat in the microwave and just standing there like an idiot holding a spoon for three minutes. Boss asking you questions and you turning into a blathering, incompetent idiot. People asking what your plans are for the weekend and in your head you're like, "being alone in the forest then getting annihilated on white wine after" but that is socially unacceptable so you just say "nothing" and they think you're boring. People asking you questions about something when your boss is in earshot and your response has to be really polished and perfect otherwise they will think you don't know what you're talking about.

On and f*cking on and on.

Sometimes I think I am on something like the Truman show and all these people are not really real, they are just placed here to deliberately make me feel awkward.

Would standing on your hands and letting gravity do the work help?

I don't press down, it's more of a circular motion with some squeezing that I specialise in.
But now that I hear that there are already hot ladies in hospital doing this, I'm going to see if I can become the patient and scrap the business.

Bloody ATMs.

Specifically the BOI ATM.

Why give me the option of 20/40/60/80 if you only have 50s????

Why do you have to eject my card instead of letting me go back to pick a multiple of 50????

Then all the tutting from the people behind me.

TAd

AndyBoBandy · 21-09-2017 02:19PM

When your in an airport waiting for your gate number to display, and the board says “Gate open in 5mins”

But it’s been saying that for 25 minutes!!

This.

I had to buy a lab manual in college yesterday for 4 euro and has nothing on me, went to the ATM and all they had was 50s. Had to take out 50 to buy a 4 euro manual

I have a lung condition so I basically just fill right up with mucus, it's very sexy :pac:

thank you for the suggestion though

My nephew had chest issues for years, so i know that hitting on the back/chest combo.
Head full of Khol today and forgot your CF when I responded. Fingers crossed you catch it on time.

Ta, I have a head full of Khol and cant spell it.

Bredabe · 21-09-2017 02:40PM

I start a thread to help classmates,
ppl asking for help on the wrong thread, where I'll never see it, which I'm sure will cause a row in some way.

Glib comments in passing.

I basically cover the GAA championships part-time for the local paper. Can be slightly anti-social in terms of spanning an entire weekend and thus missing out on stuff, but love it nonetheless as I get paid to follow the sport and be involved in some way. Would be generally well-thought of within the community too, and have made loads of acquaintances over time.

So then, it is more than TA'ing when someone says "what sort of hack are you?" when I can't automatically give them a score update from a game that is running concurrently with the one I happen to be at. I mean, I would have to use my smart-phone to find it out, surely the "enquirer" could do same? All other results don't concern me until later on when I compiling the report. I don't pass remarks to you about your "job performance", I would appreciate if you did similar.

EDIT: Just remembered a couple more annoying comments: "you better give me a good write-up" or the week after a match is published: "you haven't a clue/talk some lies...."

ohnonotgmail · 21-09-2017 04:22PM

TA'd at plucking nose hairs. Its always only the right nostril for some reason.

retro:electro · 21-09-2017 04:29PM

Seeing people cry, and being the awkward toad that I am I just sit there staring at them not knowing what to do

Haha! This is just the worst. I have literally made the decision not to bring lunch to work on several occasions based on the fact that I'll be hanging around the kitchen waiting for use of the microwave while Debbie from Accounts heats up her tuna salad (which smells up the whole kitchen) and gossips about last week's work drinks and I have to stand there and pretend I'm not listening and wait for the line of Tupperware-clutchers to dissipate so I can stand for another three minutes and pretend I'm reading the posters on the wall about rooftop yoga or someone's missing cat.

It's the bloody worst! The kitchenette is never, ever empty either. Don't these people have jobs to do?

Widdershins · 21-09-2017 06:28PM

TA I tried about six numbers for taxi companies, after Googling their numbers, and the last one despite being in the profile picture on the driver's Facebook page, doesn't work, the one before that had a recorded message with that driver's new number but the new one doesn't work either. A man in the village sort of has a taxi but he's aggressive and either drunk or hungover whenever I see him. How are they operating a taxi business without working numbers?

castletownman · 21-09-2017 07:01PM

Out for my walk,headphones in and ready to listen to part 3 of an unbelievably good podcast I have become addicted to.

And HGV's and tractors seem to be favouring the exact same route I am walking on. Can barely hear a thing with the noise pollution.

Iseedeadpixels · 22-09-2017 07:51AM

At the cinema, can I have a small popcorn and large drink

Oh you can get a large popcorn and drink for cheaper

No thanks I wont eat it all.

But its cheaper.

It will go to waste and I hate wasting things.

But but but

Listen I dont want a large popcorn, I dont wanna waste it and make your job harder when it naturally spills everywhere and you have to clean it up.

Ok I'll just charge you for a large anyway and give you the small one.

Why cant they just do that rather than argue with me :P

jimgoose · 22-09-2017 09:58AM

So today I finish up at the office for a well-deserved three-week vacation. I haven't had any proper time off all year and I am shit-sick of meetings, problems, more meetings, status updates, sync-ups and of generally being too busy to get a sodding haircut. So to say I am looking forward to doing my own thing for a while, catching up on house/car jobs, getting away from the city for a little while with Woman, maybe driving down to Antibes for a few days, would be an understatement. So far, so good.

So I was having a pint down t'Woolpack yesterday evening and casually mentioned this, as you do. Immediately, it's "Where are you going? Where? Where??". "Well," says I, "wherever the Hell I like, basically - no great big Battle-Plan, just being like water my friend, as Mr. Lee put it." Well the disappointed, puppy-dog faces on a couple of my mates. Apparently you're supposed to paratrooper-roll out of the office at 4pm on Friday straight into some blasted aeroplane to the Costa Del-Boy, and fly back three weeks later at 3am to be dropped out of the cargo-hold like a Tallboy back into your office chair. Well FUCK that. Leave me alone!!

Bredabe · 22-09-2017 10:08AM

Woke up with the PERFECT conclusion to my blog for "school"
Ta.1 I cant remember what it is now.
Ta.2 being stuck in too close confines with someone who has a crush on Leo Varadkar and no way to alter the environment, so I can tune out the endless, Leo thinks this and Leo thinks that.:mad::rolleyes:

PS, This is soooo not the job to be bigging up Leo in.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 22-09-2017 10:09AM

TA I'd give Leo a Lash as well. Too bad he prefers pipe

where your enjoying hitting a few balls in peace and quiet at the driving range then a group of loud idiots arrive in at the bay beside you.

Robsweezie · 22-09-2017 12:05PM

when stuff goes missing and its like it fell into the void, because its nowhere near where you usually put it.

Aglomerado · 22-09-2017 12:06PM

I just went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I have no idea how that coffee stain got on my shirt COLLAR

:o

I should not be allowed out of the house without a bib

bnt · 22-09-2017 12:21PM

The Luas Cross-City line in Dublin will be helpful for me - saving me a 20 min walk across the city to get to and from my office. It was supposed to open in "September 2017", and it appears to be nearly complete. Test trams are running all day, the signs are up, I see techs installing the Leap card sensors this week ... but now I hear that it's not going to carry passengers until December 15th? What on earth do they need an extra three months for? :mad:

dee_mc · 22-09-2017 12:34PM

Got in to work this morning and marvelled that my colleague had, for once, taken the rubbish out when she left yesterday evening. Nice not to have to start the day with that job!

Five minutes later I'm serving a customer, put my hand under the counter to grab a jewellery box to put his purchase in, hand connects with something cold and *shudder* moist. Then i get the smell: she's left a cardboard takeaway box of fish and chips under the counter, the dirty cow.
Last week I found a nibbled piece of chocolate under the credit card machine.
People are disgusting.
