    Petrol stations , have a one way system and don’t park at the petrol pumps if you are nipping in for a slice pan. Very frustrating for other drivers waiting for petrol or diesel. Whole place gets clogged up.

    My lovely Spanish friend just sent me a picture of her little girl at a pool party.
    However, it also had her husband in it, wearing only his very tight speedos and ripped six pack.
    Not fair sending that to a single woman :(

    Lack of common courtesy from retail staff.

    There is a new girl that works in the local shop that nearly goes out of her way to make me feel like she's doing me a favour by waiting for here to figure out the change.

    The fact that she's not even Irish is more galling.

    That sleepy yoke wants you to feed and pet him/her (the order in which you do these things is irrelevant). And s/he wants you to make room for him/her on the couch. And if you don't do it, shame on you!

    Casual xenophobia.
    Just don't understand it.

    Sorry ? Why is that more galling ?

    Shouldn't that be "purposely"?
    There’s a subtle difference. But ‘purposefully’ can also mean ‘intentionally’ which is different to the usage Bluewolf is thinking of, the ‘doing something with determination’ usage.


    Is that a recently added definition? I searched it a few times before when i first noticed it and couldn't find anywhere saying intentionally

    A few of the boys are over to watch a recording of the game,
    the one who never ever gets the point of anything thats been said, has attached himself to me.

    I know its partly his condition, but just go away.

    Possibly. I guess language can evolve.

    Exiting the supermarket car park out on to an incredibly busy road and the person behind me decided the second that I reached the front of the queue that by beeping their horn, I'd somehow find a gap in the traffic a bit faster. All thats gonna make me do is be extra extra cautious, no matter how long that takes. And no, I'm not an asshole, there was no one behind him so I wasn't causing a tailback

    Men who wear a tie that matches the colour of their partner's dress.

    A sure sign of being under the thumb.

    When my fella was being measured for a suit for a wedding we were attending, the tailor suggested matching the tie to my dress. I thought it was nice.

    TA'd that I can't taste anything with this awful cold and I lay awake last night for 8 hours because my cough wouldn't let me sleep.

    When you don't allow yourself to get close to anyone romantically for years and years because you're sick of getting hurt, and then you finally allow yourself to and shock horror, get hurt again.

    Do the nuns hire men? I may as well apply at this point.

    Robbie Keane's aul bag. Two newspaper magazine interviews this past weekend alone. Why can't she just go away and never come back?

    Those tiny portions of milk that you get in hotel rooms!:mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,071 ✭✭✭Rosie Rant


    I bought "easy peelers". Not only is peeling them like trying to rip a soccer ball with my bare hands, but they don't break into segments properly. So, I either have to mangle the pieces in order to separate them or shove a good few segments in my gob together and risk choking. And the bloody things are sour.

    Just seeing that the Ryanair flights that I smugly bought for €34 (after being as high as €60) are now €19.

    I forgot something when I left the house this morning so had to go back when I was halfway. It's lashing out and I got soaked!

    Someone told me we were meant to be having a heatwave this week. Where is it?

    Pretzel Stick, why are you so addictive?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,277 ✭✭✭Your Face


    I was in a good mood coming into work this morning.
    Now I'm not, due everyone bitching behind everyone elses back.
    I'm trying to stay out of it but that makes the peasants suspicious of me.
