    TA People so hungry for excitement they're excited about the prospect of WW3.

    TA on Boards, people making statements that sound great and high and mighty but give no thought to peoples circumstances.

    TA that my boyfriend has taken to sleeping in the middle of the bed with his head on the mattress in between our two pillows. Wtf. Piss off to your own side Hun, we don't have a king size bed for nothing.

    People who stop dead in the middle of Penneys on a busy Saturday to inspect some jumper and end up causing a human pile up. Also the woman who parked her buggy across one of only two doors to Penneys to sheild her little precious from the rain, despite the fact the buggy had full rain gear on.

    TA that I feel like a pensioner and I only just turned 26!

    Last night I had to go to a funeral. A girl I work with, her grandad died so I said I'd show my face. I pulled up to the funeral home and there was another bloody funeral home across the road. So two funerals going on and I didn't know a sinner or which one to go into.
    I did eeny meeny miny moe and picked the right one

    Tags on clothes (not price tags but the actual tags inside the clothes) made out of horrible scratchy, stick in you, irritating material.

    Small tables in restaurants. My husband and I went into a restaurant earlier, seated at a table for 2 and the table was absolutely tiny. We asked for a bigger table but there was nothing else available so we ended up leaving. I honestly don't know where they thought we were going to put our food. There was no other table in the restaurant that was the same size as this table so it's obviously one they squeeze in just to get another 2 people in the door.

    So we left that place and went to another place. Waited 25 minutes for our food. Eventually a waitress came over and looked at our empty table and asked "oh, you didn't get your food yet?" Yes, we got our invisible food, which we ate with invisible cutlery and the invisible plates are here waiting to be cleared away!
    Then when we got our food, mine was brought separately to my husband's food. We're having a meal together, not him watching me eat my food and then I watch him eat his food!!!
    And then when we were leaving, the person at the till asked was everything okay and when we explained the above, they just kind of shrugged their shoulders and didn't care. DON'T FUCKING BOTHER ASKING IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED.

    I have a complete phobia of the dentist and haven't been in over 3 years :eek:
    I haven't been for longer, but think I may need a filling, so I did a bit of Googling and found one near me. Managed to get their website enquiry form to work, left a message that included something like "please don't call me during office hours, email is fine". You can guess what happened the next day: got a call, during office hours, from a receptionist who had been "passed a message to contact me". Chinese whispers, she didn't actually *have* the message I sent, just my number. It's 2017, FFS, there are less invasive ways of communicating than making a phone call and interrupting my work whenever you feel like it - especially when specifically asked to not do that. No business for you.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    The most boring and yet stressful weekend just waiting for a lift to an out of hours medical centre. So many things I'd love to be doing this weekend. Not sure of the situation r.e driving under the 'influence' of strong pain medication, and do not want to fail a roadside drugs test!

    I bought beautiful tan, leather shoes in Dune this summer but every time I wear them my feet and toenails get absolutely destroyed in the tan colour. For what I thought was a good brand it's TA tbh.

    I hope you can get a lift. It's bad enough needing medical attention without it being a pain in the arse to get transport. Feel better soon.

    The waste of food TA's me. Please take what you are going to eat , you can always go back for more. Don't pile your plate and leave half of it only fit for the brown bin. The OH has the stomach bug today. I asked him half a dozen times was he sure he wanted dinner. He said yes, he had to eat something, yet has not surfaced to eat it. It is back in the grill congealing on the plate. I am twitching at the thoughts of it going to waste. I swear if I did past life regression I'd find out I was a famine victim :(

    Thanks LMB. TBH I'm not alert enough to drive safely. My car battery's flat anyway. TA miss driving so much.

    I saw the most gorgeous winter coat, it was love at first sight. €265, oh well, I can dream.

    TA
    Friend came for coffee and scandal. Didn't want to discuss a serious subject in front of her small person. Made a ''tell you later'' kind of face. ''Wha? What's wrong? Tell me!'' and on and on ..

    I do not understand and will never understand why when residing in a rented apartment where there is a common entrance for all the apartments in the block that ppl don't dump mail that is not for them but has their apartment number on it ie mail for the previous vacated tenant(s). It drives me nuts having to check the mail every day to see if it's new mail only to see it's the same mail that has been sitting there for feckin months.

    I can recommend Mango in Arnotts (Mango probably have their own website). I recently bought 2 gorgeous winter coats in there, one full price at €90 and the other with a % off at €60, both wool coats. The second is just a plain black coat (always good to have a "good" black coat in your wardrobe) but the first is a grey coat with a hood, with a fluffy thing around the hood, beautiful fastenings, it fits perfectly and is warm and comfortable.
    I had been hanging on for my size to come in on a website I was stalking but I'm so happy I just happened to be in Arnotts by chance. It was meant to be!

    Oh and TK Maxx, I bought a beautiful green coat in there yesterday, originally €120, bought it for €40.

    I have a seriously upset stomach and can't figure out why.
    I want my dogs to comfort me but they're more interested in their toys.

    I'm sitting in my car at work, having a smoke and flicking through my phone.... It's completely pitch black dark except for the light of my phone. I see movement on my chest by the glow of the phone, so I shine it more directly to see was it a shadow or what?... Nope nope nope nope.... Big fûck off spider the size of a small dog... Hopped out the car like a daftie beating my chest and jumping up and down. Thank feck nobody saw me... I have a reputation to uphold.
    Now I keep getting the feeling like there's another one crawling on me.... Uuuuggghh!!!!

    Do you have sensitive teeth?

    If so, I understand your fear. Get anastethic for everything, my friend, even scales & polishes. If you don't have sensitive teeth, you're grand.

    No reason to feel pain. Go.

    TA'd that I just ran out of toilet roll and hope I don't need the loo til the morning. Oh wait, I think I might have a packet of Kleenex in my bag!!!

    It's not pain really, I think just fear for no reason :o

    Sunday night blues, I'll be like a dog in the morning. Waving goodbye to the bed, blowing kisses at it.
    Why do I feel hungover when I wasn't even drinking?
    Being good all week, lots of exercise, eating well. Then the weekend comes and I eat like a pig. McDonald's, Pizza, crisps, big fry, chocolate. Was deadly though.

    I don't get it, people keep complaining about poor internet connection, and when they have web access right there, they freak out. Go figure! :pac:

    I have a complete phobia of the dentist and haven't been in over 3 years :eek:

    Sit down and have a chat, tell them your fears. Good dental health is important for heart and digestive health too. TA I neglected my teeth and it cost me in time and money.

    Walk into somewhere, today it happened to be my local, carrying my baby, and get completely ignored by someone. Its an almost daily occurrence
    Today's was....

    Me: "Hiya Mary, how's things?"
    Mary: "Oooohhhh hiiiiiii gorgeous (obv to the baby, I haven't been called gorgeous in years), then she spends ten minutes talking bollocks to the baby and poking it and completely ignoring me. Not even a hello. Nothing. I eventually just walked away. Arsehole.
