Turn off your keyboard sounds when you are in public, especially when you're sitting behind me on a train!

The pain in my neck from arthritis. I should be having physio, but I'm a coward. They'll find knots I never knew existed. Come on Maggie, woman up!

This has probably been said a million times, but I need to vent.

People who when walking from one space to another, usually by means of a doorway, suddenly decide that said doorway is a great place to abruptly stop.

Zero warning, zero ability to maneuver out of the way, just the personification of an artic truck sprawled assways across a motorway exit. Because fuck you, that's why. That's what you get for lapsing into the belief that we have any semblance of a functioning, conscientious society.

No amount of of you exclaiming, "Excuse me", will resolve this situation. You find yourself wedged between an oncoming crowd and the boulder-like embodiment of ignorance that is staring into the distance, unmoving, possibly lost in the questioning of their very own reality, but most likely wondering if they remembered to tell Kevin to pick up some profiteroles for desert.

You wait, feeling your blood pressure rise as you start to agonise over the potential wait that lies ahead, whilst graphically visualising hoofing the object of your hatred into the metaphorical arms of the anterior shop, head first into the beauty therapist armed with a trowel and a painted on smile.

They turn, shock on their face that a line the size of a dole queue is now waiting with baited breath at their next move, and with zero remorse push their way back the way whence they came, without even the shred of humility or self awareness required to muster up a single, "Sorry".

People who don't seem to understand that a car is a fcuking weapon and although you may think it's grand to casually walk out in front of me- there may come a time when I cannot break in time and may hit you. The amount of people who cross the road without looking is baffling. Yet it'll be on me if I hit them- and I'm not saying that's wrong or anything- but Christ would it kill people to have some awareness and factor in how fcuking dangerous it is to cross the road without looking to see what's coming. My nerves.

This is the most beautifully articulated TA I've ever read.
"People who don't move out of the fcuking waaaaaayyyyyyyyy", is how I'd have put it.

and definitely don't look at me like its my fault. I'm on the escalator and am moving towards you. you can move I cant. when I end up shoved into you, your response should be sorry not to complain . its your fault you stupid idiot

what drives me mad is when someone fecks off around the shop and leaves the trolley or pram in the middle of the way.

I just add things to their trolley. The bigger the items, the better, in terms of adding confusion.

"Hmm. I definitely didn't get a bag of spuds and four rolls of kitchen paper. Must not be my trolley".

You can observe their puzzlement from afar with a grin on your face, or even add an extra sprinkle of flavour by going up and throwing another item into their trolley and then wandering away with it, all whilst they look around with a totally bemused look on their face.

I find it hilarious when people say "ah well if they don't stop, it's their fault if they hit me" YEAH BUT YOU'RE ON THE FUCKING ROAD, INJURED OR WORSE!! WHO FUCKING CARES WHO HAS THE MORAL HIGH GROUND!!

I just had a large dominos veggie supreme to myself. I'm swelled. Pretty sure I just saw Jesus

Waiting outside the cinema screen so as to avoid the trailers/spoilers and hoping no one steals my seat

LadyMacBeth_ · 25-10-2017 08:34PM

My lungs bitched and moaned their way to Reading and back today. But what was more annoying than the chest pain and the breathlessness and the moving at granny pace were the people who kept turning around to look at me cough. Staring in blatant curiosity/disgust, like I'm a leper who has dared to come out and infect everyone. I am not contagious and other people are more of a risk to me than I am to them so stop fcuking staring at me!!

FlipperThePriest · 25-10-2017 08:37PM

That awkward moment when you hold a door open for someone coming into a shop after you, totally misjudging the length of time it takes them to follow you.. and to make matters worse he ambles in the door grabbing at his pockets (obviously forgot money/wallet) and mutters 'I'm wasting my f**k!n time here' to himself, I don't even exist.. I mutter back to him 'Me and you both buddy':pac:. He's oblivious as he saunters past me and the held open door.

I don't hold any disdain for the poor ejit, he's totally distracted by the fact that he can't afford his lunch but I like to think in 10 or 20 minutes he remembers the situation and thinks.. oops, ha or even that's the bol!ox! Doubt it though.

rainbow kirby · 25-10-2017 08:40PM

People sitting in priority seats on public transport who pretend to be asleep when someone from one of the categories they are aimed at is around.

TA that I've started to grow a small happy trail between my belly button and down south, and I don't want it to turn stubbly so I wont shave it, so I use tweezers, and it hurts like Fcuk!

Mind yourself LMB. You're a trooper

I know I can't be the first one to mention this old chestnut, but as I was on the receiving end of this TA today (and pretty much every day since I started working in my current job) I want to get it off my chest. People who never shut up about their kids. If you want to tell me about an important milestone in their lives (ie: their first day of school, leaving cert results etc) that's fine. But I don't need to know everything about their day, every single day.

This × 1000. Especially when a few of them get together talking about their babies. And they start comparing their babies nappies. in a previous job I was in, a few of us had a name for those conversations: the three C's ie colour, content and consistency. If you want to discuss dirty nappies please don't do it at work
We don't want to hear it .- end of

there is a woman near me . she calls into another neighbour I'm fairly friendly with so am there regular. she is the type to tell you every detail. instead of I did the shopping today it has to be about the traffic, parking, what shops, why that shop over other shop, finding the coin for the trolley. cost of this or that etc etc

a few weeks ago she announced that she is pregnant.
all iv heard from her is the pains and aches, the appointments, costs of appointments, costs of baby clothes, school costs, collages costs, childminder costs, this sickness , that condition, all kinds of crap.
she is only a few weeks(normal time to tell people )
her husband is still wiping the sweet off his brow from conceiving it and they are concerned about collages costs

he is a teacher on 50,000 and she has a good normal job.
get a grip of your self and shut up about it

LittleMuppet · 26-10-2017 04:02AM

My TA's for today...

1. People who say "Oh you haven't got kids, you wouldn't understand" No, I don't have kids but you don't know the reason why I haven't got kids so just STFU.

2. Same person. "What family? You and your OH? That's not a proper family"

3. Cnuts driving with their full lights on, behind me and towards me.

4. Neighbour on the dole going of to America cos she needs a break. I work full time and can't even afford Wexford for a weekend.

Will this poxy week ever end?

I'm sorry you went through that.
I walk with a bad limp about 50% of the time and the staring really gets to me sometimes.
Last week I was limping into the chemist and this boy, maybe around 10 - 12, stood and stared at me from the minute I walked in the door until I got to the counter (where he was standing beside his mother). I wanted to bring his mother's attention to it so I said "hello there" to him when I got to the counter and they both just ignored me.
Some people have no manners and I FUCKING hate people staring at anyone.

No 1 and 2 really annoy me. Especially No 2 at the moment - "oh where are you spending Christmas?", "oh my husband and I always stay at home for Christmas, we like to be there with the dogs", "oh so you're not going to see your family?" THAT IS MY FUCKING FAMILY!!

Also, people who tell you, upon learning you are trying to lose weight, that "you don't need to lose weight!!" Eh, it's that kind of talk and mindset that had me 30kg heavier than I am now! Mind yo business!!!

ohnonotgmail · 26-10-2017 08:20AM

TA'd that i made the mistake of going to the cinema on bargain wednesday. the place was rammed. I had people either side of me so i had no space to put my legs. wont be going on a wednesday again.

LadyMacBeth_ · 26-10-2017 10:07AM

I had a really weird dream last night. I was on a bus and at a party with loads of boardsies and Anna080 kept kissing me on the lips to ''see what it was like'' :pac: then we were kissing and fell off a chair because we were sh1tfaced. I'm not trivially annoyed by the way (it was quite nice

), I just wasn't sure where to post this nugget of information

I really need to get out more when I start dreaming of parties with boardsies.
