    Unless you have a bathroom of palatial proportions or lots of small mosaics a retiling job should be done in a week max.

    You would think! Just a standard size bathroom. In fairness the place was completely gutted and needed re-plumbing but the plumber had that all done on the first day. I don’t even mind the longevity of the job it’s just the fact there’s more absent days than present at this stage.

    Getting our bathroom re-tiled and adjustments made. So far a job that was supposed to take 10 days is now entering its fourth week. These things happen and that is grand but so far this fella has spent more time in his van downing bottles of coke and leaving for “half an hour” and not returning for days than doing any work. It’s all tiled now so to my eyes the lot has the potential to be finished by Friday but of course, he didn’t turn up again today. Nice man and all but I’m beyond impatient now, he’s also a friend of a friend of a friend so I can’t exactly tell him to stick it either. I’ve been scabbing showers off friends and family for the last month and I’m just dying to have a shower in my own home again. He’s partial to an out of tune duet with the blaring radio too.

    Unless he is giving you a very special mates rate this is no reason to put up with his ****. If he is disappearing it is because he has another job on and he has prioritised it over yours precisely because he thinks you wont complain.

    Shop Assistant forgetting to take the security tag off an expensive dress I had bought. Cue alarm going off as I leave. Cue slight red face

    That happened to me when I was buying condoms in Boots a few months ago. It was a brand that have a security tag thing in it that needs to be taken out. The shop assistant forgot and I set off the alarm walking out. Had to retreat back to the counter red faced. That’s what I got for being a responsible woman!

    TA got my car washed and within 5 minutes a bird shat all over it.

    Another pet peeve of mine. When you ask someone a specific question, and not only do they NOT answer, but they tell you something entirely different to what you needed to know.

    For instance:
    "Is there a reception in the building? E. asked me to find out."
    "What you do is, you go over to the right near the car park where the thingy* is, you go in, and just before that place*, what's it called*, you turn right and you go as far as the other yoke*, and you know the room on the side? That's where you are."
    "Is that where the reception is? That's odd!"
    "What reception? God no. Sure how would I know?"
    "Uh, I dunno, 'cause you've been there a million times, the last time was two days ago."

    *actual words used.

    Or when they shout directions at you in the car "TURN THERE!" "Where?" (I'm at a crossroad/junction/roundabout). "THERE, NEXT TO THAT BUILDING!"
    Ah, it's so clear now, why didn't you say that before? :mad:

    People so pissed off about Black and Tans you would swear they fought them themselves.

    TA people who still use archaic terms like; Free Stater, West Brit, etc. esp when they weren't even a twinkle in their Daddy's eye when the Troubles were in full swing.

    "It happened in the past so it's not important/relevant to our problems today."

    Seriously?

    Does it not depend on the work?

    I'm TA that I swore I was going to do nothing for the next few days I'm off, but I was up early scrubbing the house and doing things in the garden and now I've pulled a muscle in my left arm.

    Well, one way to look at it is this: the bird shïting on the car is a sign of good luck, apparently...

    Surely you meant 'if you have a child please raise it as an independent reasonable being' rather than just the boys?

    TA how sexism is perfectly acceptable when aimed at men.

    In this case I was talking about my dad who was raised in the worst possible way to become the way it is. Absolutely not aimed at men or boys in general. Am I not allowed to post my annoyance here?

    TA: I have to say it again, no 8y/o needs a scrambler. That stupid thing is loud, the whole estate smells like petrol and it goes really crazy fast for something that's aimed at kids.

    TA'd that my FIL is such a thick honk sometimes.
    He is the most boring eater, not adventurous with food, basically the grumpy retired chicken casserole and spuds kinda guy.
    It's my MILs birthday later this week and she gave out to him in the past that he never takes her out for a nice dinner. And I can confirm he never does. So he decides to take her out - to the only place he really knows, a Gastropub style place. Not bad but whenever they go out (once every century) he always presses for that place.

    So I said to the husband of he can talk to him and suggest a few places (they live in D9 ffs) to take her because I feel so sorry for her.

    Listening to the lead item on the 7 am news headlines about yet another survey "revealing" that 1 in 5 Irish drink too much and some percentage binge drink (2 and a half pints or more ) on a regular basis. Its like a weekly survey at this stage.

    TA'd with myself for not smashing the wing mirror of the BMW this morning, the pr*ck driving obviously doesn't use it so I'd be doing him a favour removing an object that is weighing down his precious car.
