Staying in my sister's for a couple of days. Managed to puke all over my clothes, the rug and the bed this morning. Have to try and wash the clothes and get them in the dryer as I didn't bring much with me. I cleaned the rug and the bed as best I could and will put into the wash too but I feel awful that I am puking on her stuff. Stupid bloody acid reflux go and fcuk yourself.

Maybe not today.

But I was able to eat food, yay!
But it's made it worser.

TA'd that my lunchtime nap has left me feeling groggy and more tired.

Honestly, I feel kind of sorry for them. What an incredibly sh1t job. Everyone hates them. Imagine how bad your days would be if you had to try to be friendly to grumpy commuters and get them to agree to give money to some silly charity all day every day. And get paid minimum wage for your troubles. The abuse they must get like. I usually make eye contact and smile at them and say "sorry I'm in a rush" as I know they probably never get friendliness in return. No skin off my nose like.

I have to deal with them (hoards of them) every time I leave the office and run an errand or to another office or out for a coffee etc. it's like running the gauntlet. So, my sympathy levels are zero at this stage. Maybe they go home and cry after their day's work but sure don't we all do that

Just got accosted by the Concern ones by the Stephen's Green shops.

"Do you have time for a chat to save a child's life ?"

No pressure there like.

One evening I was in a bit of a bad humour (sh**e day in work) and one goes "would you have a minute for a chat ?" and I said "Sorry, no" - he carries on "oh go on, you must have a minute ?"

I responded by loudly going "Didn't your mother teach you that NO MEANS NO ???"

Erm, not proud but in my defence he deserved it!

The worst is when you're sauntering out of a shop, arms weighed down with shopping bags, and they ask have you any time for charity today. It makes me feel like a right selfish wagon for ignoring them. But I've already got direct debit to two charities so I don't feel too bad.

I did tell one Amnesty lad that I already donated (been a member since 1987) and he goes "we get that a lot" - fair enough but I do!!!!

Only way to get away from them. They serve a purpose and get people signing up but they need to be told bluntly at times. I've refrained from punching any of them but they have been told to f*ck off when they get too pushy.
I chose my charitable donations I wont be forced or coerced by their tactics.

Robsweezie · 06-10-2017 02:10PM

fridge broke. cue milk gone sour, everything else getting fuucked in the bin and having to fork out a hefty sum for a new one.

Freezing my tits off, brrrrrrrrr.

retro:electro · 06-10-2017 03:15PM

Role reversal and how things change. I'm home for the weekend and making dinner. Mam said she only wants a little bit and I just said the words "you'll get what you're given now and that's that".
:eek:

Same! I give directly to three separate causes - one is an animal rescue in Thailand (I know charity begins at home but a dog is a dog and all are equally important IMO, and the money simply goes further over there and helps a lot more dogs than the same money would here) and then for the human aspect :P I donate to two separate ones - one is my time and food, and the other is my time and my qualifications as I volunteer. So I am ar*ed if I am going to feel bad for not giving money to some hippy dippy student working on commission knowing that probably only 30% of it will actually make it's way to the intended recipients. :mad:

You're dead right!
In fact next time they chug at me when I'm weighted down with bags I'm gonna say "charity starts at home bltch" and flick my hair and swan off.

The next time they ask if I have a minute I will slow down slightly and say, "Yes!....... But not for you b*tch"

TA my productivity has dropped to 10% as we enter the twilight zone of the working week.

Vouchers...I know they're handy to give as a gift when you can't think of(or be arsed to think of)something else but I've 2 here that are ancient that I find from time to time,they're years out of date and it's just such a bloody waste.

I can type at the speed of light when I'm working. Except of course, when the MD is standing behind me while I search for a document for him. 3 goes it took me to type the word into the search bar without making a mistake.

TA i had a big lunch & now have no idea what to eat later.

Our local Tesco has changed its layout and everyone is wandering around like zombies! No system anymore, people appearing round corners and bumping in to each other. Chaos! I wouldn't mind as I don't really shop in there anymore but this evening it was handiest on way home.

I spelled my name wrong twice and the password three times when the boss was looking over my shoulder. I swear I'm not incompetent honestly!!!!

Mine has moved the toilet toll from household goods and it is now by the All Bran.

I suspect for the comedy value only!!

My TA today - working from home was the guy cutting the grass in the apartment next door with one of those lawnmowers you drive. The sound of the grass cutting was fine, that kind of white noise we get used to so quickly. It was the beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep of the thing going into reverse (I suppose). And this guy apparently liked driving backwards a lot.

That sound needs to be banned. We will have to accept the odd reversing accident.

If it's his kid meh. If it's a hedgehog then the noise stays!!!

I watched a few creepy ghost videos on YouTube while drinking my post-work coffee and now I'm all shivery and I've convinced myself that the apartment is haunted.

Ask the ghost to do the dishes and make you a cuppa

The beautiful men thread has roughly only one third of the posts that the beautiful women one has.
