    Wearing a onesie to bed is a great idea till you have to get undressed the next morning in a freezing cold bathroom.

    Apparently I was too slow pulling off at the lights early this morning.

    A taxi really close behind me beeped, over took me at the junction and squeezed in on front of me at speed.

    He then jammed on the breaks as he was going too fast to deal with the bend we were on then.

    Did I mention the roads were frosty this morning?

    warm water is fine. boiling hot water is not.

    My phone just rang at my desk. I picked up my bottle of water, and said "Hello, ____ (company name)". Into the water bottle. Rather than pick up the phone. WTF is wrong with me.

    What a complete gobsh1te. I have no time for anyone that behaves like that.

    My TA, first day back at school and the traffic lights / green man not working to cross the road :(

    Oh good one.

    People who use water to defrost cars and leave a nice sheet of black ice for the next person that come along. Spent a few hours in A&E before Christmas for this very reason...

    If it happened at traffic lights, my brother used to hop out of his car, pick up the butt, drop it back into their lap with a 'sorry, I think you dropped something' comment, then hop back into his car and drive off as they flapped around looking for the yoke that is burning their loins.

    Get on to the company involved, or the building owners, or the local litter warden - just not acceptable to let this keep happening.

    Whoever happens to walk on that driveway/road/footpath next.

    We brought little BoBandy up to a playground yesterday (Ardgillan Castle, so it's high up, exposed and close to the sea, so, bit nippy and it was quite windy) (Ardgillan Castle is spectacular by the way).

    Most of the parents were wrapped up like they were preparing for an Arctic expedition*, yet half their kids were running around in t-shirts or jumpers, no hats nothing! All sharing & swapping their respective bugs and infections with each other, just in time for school today!!

    *of course there were a few bearded hipsters wearing shorts, a t-shirt and a hat!!

    The company that one of my girls works for introduced a uniform(for H&S reasons).
    Its a trouser suit as its a better fit for the job.

    TA the staff still "slagging" my girl for being a tomboy, cause she wears trousers all the time anyway.

    My old gripe raises its head again.

    It's a dull, overcast day and IMO all cars should have lights on, especially white and grey cars. I nearly always drive with lights on, I don't need to told. What's the fcuk is wrong with people driving around and seeing all the other cars have lights on....does it not cross their mind to switch on? Or do they just think the rest of us are idiots

    Oh, if you are fortunate enough to have a newer car with daytime running lights...remember .this only applies to the front of your vehicle .

    Just when I think I'm getting over whatever dose I have it hits me again and I feel like I've been ran over. Not sure if this is the same virus reoccurring over and over or several different ones but I'm so over being sick.

    http://vipmagazine.ie/irish-bloggers-vow-to-end-online-bullying/

    So Sue me is apparently sensitive after being called out for editing her photos with seagulls in it....hardly think it's bullying to point out that pics are photoshopped?

    I have yet to come across a blogger that wasn't an self absorbed , complete pain in the hole.
    They aren’t being bullied. Big word to use, belittles people who actually have been seriously bullied in their lives. These influencers never had the initiative to do something like this until they felt their social media platforms being threatened. Too little too late. Grow a pair.

    Like every Z list celebrity on the planet, they're turning a few comments into a "hater campaign" and are going to act like they're "actually really sending out a message to those with no voice that this is not okay" while getting themselves publicity and views and likes and a Late Late Show appearance.

    The metal seats at railway stations. I was in Waterford station earlier, me bum nearly stuck to the seat. I overheard an old fella on the train telling his friend " IT nearly fell off in the station", the two of them roaring laughing.

    He was probably brake checking you, drivers like that seem to think it's a great idea. Imagine if you accidentally drove into the back of one of these eejits and they ended up seriously injured?! It's all fun and games until that happens.

    The self-importance of Hollywood.

    Let's all wear black in "solidarity" (incidentally the most annoying over-used words in recent years) for those who were sexually assaulted/harassed in the industry. Ignore the fact that it was self-inflicted scandal caused by so many people remaining silent for so long out of fear they would be black-listed from the very same industry.

    Last year it was Trump. This year it's Weinstein etc. What's next? Let's make Leitrim great again??

    They should focus on trying to improve the overall quality of their product rather than their "flavour of the month" social justice campaigns

    Drank too much coffee and have the shakes. Lost a sales deal at work that I hoped would've come through today. Straddling two roles in the office at the moment and don't know where to start when I come in each morning. TA TA TA HATE MONDAYS

    I keep reading the title of the "Misuse of Disabled Parking Badges" thread as "Mouse of Disabled Parking Badges". Every. Bloody. Time.
