Grown ups who call holidays ‘holibobs’ or ‘holipops’- fffs your not 6 years old

SHÍT SHÍT SHÍT.
A friend gave me a present a few weeks back, and I left it on the living room windowsill. She was here for coffee yesterday and I just copped she would have definitely seen said present still 'cast aside' on the windowsill, not even taken out of the gift bag. How ungrateful do I look now :rolleyes:

One of my colleagues ha just said "74 sleeps to Santy".

She's 34 and has a PhD.

Dropped my phone and smashed the screen this morning.

Why do bad things happen to good people?

I did once ask why bad things could only happen to bad people and was told "it's not nice to wish harm on anyone".

Yeah kinda is to some people!!!!!

Mortified.

People darting around whilst looking at their feet , then get surprised when they either bump into something or someone. Really grinds my gears !!

And people (and they seem to be increasing in number) who walk head down and look at their phone.

Ta that people just wander aimlessly around shops not looking where they are going. It's always worse when youre having a very bad day its like they can smell it.

And when you get the sick person behind you in a que that doesn't cover their mouth when coughing....people.

Do you want me to fill it?

I'd say her box is being flooded as we speak. :P

Widdershins · 12-10-2017 11:48AM

Someone posted a picture of a halloween costume, a man dressed as a giant sanitary towel. I genuinely feel sick after that.

Online Dating, a f**king minefield.

Messaged this woman the other night on POF, a nice message, wasn't just the generic "hi" it was something nice and inquisitive related to her very short about me section, wasn't heavily expecting a reply as it's hard in general to get a reply. But I was delighted to get a reply. I think "Awesome, a reply! And it's someone local for a change, even better" always these ones from miles away that might message once in every blue moon. Did the long distance dating/relationships before and they are too much hassle.

Anyway, so I write back another nice message to this woman anyway, I'll put a bit more effort in being it's great to have gotten a reply just before. And nothing. Would put ya in fierce bad form.

I'd put online dating in the same category as sending in a job application. You know?

Like getting nothing back is a pain, but receiving some sort of feedback, and then bouncing something back and then getting no feedback is really disheartening.

I have forgotten how much I hate dating sites yet I'll go back to them out of loneliness/boredom and frustration from the pub scene.

True Movies has now become True Christmas for the next 2 months

retro:electro · 12-10-2017 11:54AM

^^^ women don't owe you a response. You shouldn't personalise it so much and be bitter about it. Maybe she'll reply later, or tomorrow, or not at all.
It shouldn't really matter to you all that much, since you don't even know her.

I was on Tinder for about a year. Sometimes it knocks your self esteem when you get a rapport going with someone and they ghost you.

You just have to move on. I know a good few people who have found genuine relationships through online dating. I'm with my bf 2 years now and it started on Tinder too.

Don't lose hope.

Banks.

I need not elaborate, but I will.

The fact that they screwed the entire country is not my annoyance (that's so 2007!).

It is the fact that they are closing branches. They are reducing staff at branches. They are doing this to cut costs (it has been a while since banks didn't make a yearly profit). They say it's for efficiency as they have now placed machines in most branches and closed hatches instead, but whenever i am in there the sole member of staff there to assist people with those machines are run off their feet trying to help people use them.

You can't even ring a branch anymore.

A customer today in UlsterBank was told they couldn't set up a direct debit in the bank. They needed to go online to do it!

It sucks ass for me and I'm tech savvy - I can only imagine how dreadful it is for someone in their 60's or older.

It's not about efficiency - it's about ringing the last cent of profit out of us.

**** 'em all

I hate online dating, I met my ex on a chatroom 10 years ago, months of chatting back and forward before agreeing to meet, nowadays its hi...hey lets meet and shag!! Maybe Im old lol

MuffinTop86 · 12-10-2017 12:24PM

The new iOs update is horrible. I know it’s my messages there’s no need to shout MESSAGES in block letters at me.
I only did it because my home button has stopped working on my phone. It didn’t even fix it.

I know they/she don't owe me a response, but at least keep the ball rolling, at the end of her message she asked me how I was, that would give someone the idea that they might engage further beyond the first two opening messages after she replied to the lighthearted question I gave her.

I replied said I was doing good, said I was studying for a tough exam I've coming up, but steered the conversation towards herself and wanted to get to know her and then lead up to a bit of banter, I was still on what she did for work and she was just starting to sound interesting being her job sounded like she does a lot of good for vulnerable people and it sounded morally rewarding.

That's when it fell off a cliff.....well in my mind anyway.

And I'm wondering then "WTF?" for a few days afterward.

retro:electro · 12-10-2017 12:35PM

You seem to come across these problems a lot though. Maybe online dating ain't for you.

Only had one class today and when I got to college, I checked my emails to see class was cancelled :rolleyes:

Haha, I met my last two partners online, first one I met after about a week and a half, long distance relationship, ended pretty badly, and the second one I met on another site, total rebound, totally wasn't ready to be with anyone, plus I couldn't relate to her at all. Was lying to myself thinking I was ready to be with anyone then after the mess with the previous person. I don't think I could do the whole "hook up" thing. Can't say it's happened me, I'm not a one night stand kind of person, I'm actually kind of shy in person, anyone I was with, I slept with them because I'm into them and after dating for a while first, better to really gel with a person, and work for it if you get me.

Yep, story of my life, maybe I need a wingman and a different pub to head to.

MuffinTop86 · 12-10-2017 12:56PM

Maybe she read morally rewarding as being condescending. Or maybe you put so much thought into the reply you came across as wooden (i.e. a bit of a bore).
Or maybe she went on a date with someone and decided to see how that plays out.
