I hate this. Always reminds me of Fr Larry Duff off Father Ted, I wonder have I caused them to fall off a ladder or something when I ring back

I'd say they were just busy.

aw that's awful LMB. Standing in the cold and rain is horrible.
I'm TA'd for you

Queuing up at pay parking machine to pay for ticket. Was in for less than hour so had my ticket and my Euro in my hand ready.
There was a large Q, Black Friday and all!
Each time somebody got to the machine. They start routing through wallets looking for tickets and money as if their shocked they have to pay. Have your money and ticket ready people FFS.

Then in car park , literally put car in reverse ready to exit my parking place, and I get beeped at. Calm down love, I seen you I was not gonna reverse out infront of you.

Traffic today was torture.

THe big poxy Jobbio ad can't scroll past without hitting it

Not sure if this is a T.A or a T.H, depends which side you were on I suppose...

As everyone knows Topaz were doing 99c petrol/diesel for an hour today around the place...well, down on the N11 in Cabinteely there are 2 stations across the road from each other, and as people do they Q for hours and miles to get the cheap stuff....

So there ya are all filled up and go in to pay for your 20 litres with your e20 and the man behind the counter says that's not enough, it's 27.80....and the person argues the toss with the cashier, about the 99c offer and he says.......

That's the station ACROSS THE ROAD with the big Q....

I nearly wet myself, the guy said she wasn't the first and two more did it while I was there, to hear the crap they were giving to the cashier and the prices were clearly marked on both stations and one had a huge Q and one didn't, bloody obvious really.

As I said, T.A or T.H, depends where you were..

Was standing at the bus stop this evening after work, on my way to town for a bit of Black Friday shopping.
I was standing there minding my own business, on my phone. I was leaning against the wall and it was a wide footpath, about 5 people abreast could walk on it at once.

Next thing a man in his 50s came along and literally started roaring at me to get the fcuk out of the way, that I was taking up the whole footpath, who the fcuk do I think I am and it was public property so get a move on.
I told him I was waiting for the bus and he just spat on the ground while looking at me and kept walking.
Next thing the bus pulls up and he turns around and follows me on. He was behind me but he pushed me out of the way as I was walking to the seats so he got one first.
I didn't mind standing anyway but it was so rude.
He started talking about me really loudly to the person next to him saying 'She thinks she owns the place she's so up her own hole, what a stupid bitch'. The woman just ignored him but I was so uncomfortable.
I got off the bus in town and he followed me off, the faster I walked the faster he followed. By the time I got inside the shopping centre he was shouting at me again, lucky a security guard saw. I told him I had no idea who the man was or what his problem is.
The man told the security guard I needed to be taught a lesson cos he thinks I'm a selfish stupid bitch.
The security guard threatened to call the guards and after a few more insults he went away.

Apparently he's mentally unwell and is known for doing things like that to the unsuspecting public. He gave me such a fright I burst into tears when he walked away and had to ring my dad to collect me and go home no shopping for me but he genuinely frightened the life out of me.

TA that I had a crap, stressful week at work and shopping was the only thing getting me through the day. That was just the icing on the cake!

Jesus that's shocking. Hope you're alright now.

ta weird taste in my mouth and can't type capital letters for some reason

Debating whether to go to a get together tonight as I haven't seen a lot of these people in years and I feel like a whale

Class Reunion
It was my class reunion, and all through the house
I checked in each mirror and begged my poor spouse
To say I looked great, that my chin wasn’t double
And he lied through his teeth , just to stay out of trouble .
He said that neath my glasses , my eyes hadn’t changed .
And I had the same figure , just a mite rearranged .
My skin was still silky , although looser in drape.
Not so much like smooth satin, but more like silk crepe .
I swallowed his words , hook sinker and line .
Entered the banquet feeling just fine
Somehow I had expected my classmates to stay
As young as they were on schools last day .
We’d hugged farewell hugs,but like me through the years
They’d added grey to their hairs and pounds to their rears .
But as we shared a few memories and retold some class jokes ,
We were eighteen in spirit , though we looked like our folks .
We turned up the hearing aid volume . and dimmed down the light .
Rolled back the years , and were YOUNG for that night .
