    The dangly earring in my right ear often hurts my earlobe but the one in my right ear is fine. My skin heals fast so I don't often take them out except to change to another pair, as I'd have to poke the piercing open in the morning so inevitably I sleep on my sore ear at night.

    Parents who are constantly moaning about how hard it is. We get it, it’s not the easiest of jobs, but guess who else has children? Lots of people!
    Was out with a mixed group last week and one woman was constantly picking up everything others said and bringing it back to how she couldn’t do that because she had kids.
    Someone said they read something in the paper., oh I wish I had time to read the paper, someone else mentioned a new coffee machine they bought and were enjoying a cup before going to work, oh I wish I could get to finish a cup without it going cold.
    I suppose now that I think about it, it’s not parents, it’s this particular parent! :o

    People like that love attention "Oh I wish I had time to watch a film"

    You have time to watch fookin' 40 hours of soaps a night though.

    For the past few weeks I've been midering over the timing of a particularly scary life move, so I've put it off, even tho I was told that for best results it should be done by x time.
    I'm now able to creep up on the prep for this event, as a result of this I decided to disregard the advice and delay a bit longer to get a particular component finished. I feel sooooo much better, a real weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

    Ta that my inner voice keeps reminding me of what the the timing was and still manipulating options to get it done on time but less well.

    I used to share a house with someone like this, I tackled her on it regularly(as she would have if it was in reverse) and she told me the I had to remember that these were like the NEWS programmes to her. :eek::eek::eek:

    What age was she, approximately?

    Old enough to know better. Late 20s, I'd say.

    Then Sylvester Stallone and DeNiro talking like they know what it's like to be in a fight like that. They're actors , not real boxers!!!
    I know both played boxers in film, and are big boxing fans, so that's why their opinion was sought?

    Fun fact, I read that De Niro was so good at boxing when he was training to play Raging Bull, that he was in the top 20 in the US at that weight.

    News stories about Greta and the comments people leave from the ones mocking her to the prim and proper people saying. " I'm getting ready for the middle aged men mocking a teenage girl".

    Jaysus! I see teenagers do constant selfies and I judge them less because all teenagers are hideously self-absorbed. Late 20s! :eek:

    The 40th Christmas I've been on this planet and the first time I went to see It's A Wonderful Life, some absolute shîtehawk starts cutting onions nearby. Prick.

    People giving advice they wouldn't want to follow themself, as it wouldn't be good enough for them.

    Seeing a young couple huddled from the vicious wind sitting outside a chipper . This country is a scandal leaving young people in a vulnerable position and not one person in our Government giving a toss . It will be up to volunteers to help them and save them from the bitter winter wind . People coming out of the chipper all stopped to say a kind word or throw a euro in a tin but that not good enough for human beings in our land
    It angers me to see the waste and our Government throwing money at everything and getting their priorities all wrong

    We have roundabouts being replanted for the umpteenth time while young people sit and freeze in a huddle on our paths . I could cry

    Even if it's one of my favourite people saying it I still feel a wash of irritation when he says "sorce" for sauce, and "sort" for sought.

    I also hate "whilst"

    Every basic bitch on Instagram using “Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas” song to showcase their basic bitch Christmas decorations in their basic bitch house. Sorry now but I’m in no mood for any of them

    Those that say ‘crikey’ or ‘wow’ in posts. It’s usually followed by a passive-aggressive put down of someone.

    That everyone is now called they ...either we all have multiple personalities or... we don't know our own genders :rolleyes:

    and theybies ? :confused: what is so wrong with the word babies?

    They was always used to convey unknown gender.

    I used to work with a girl that would say LOL instead of actually laughing.

    On one particular day someone cracked a very funny joke and her response was "LOL. That's so funny it deserves a second LOL, LOL." I had to get up and walk away.

    There was an update on my phone this morning and the text app has changed appearance, I imagine it's slower to open too - it's annoying me :P

    Yes, what is with that? It is like walking into a nightclub! I don't know should I be ordering a drink or a pair of shoes!!

    "

    But the word baby is gender neutral???

    I just try to tune out when this kind of nonsense arises


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    Why is it about my face that makes people think I'm not at all bothered about any given bothersome issue. Someone said to me as if I was a cheeky 12 year old "you seem to find this funny." We can't all sit brooding or run around in a flap. Bitchy resting face, I think it's called.

    Im hearing impaired and it was awful.I know im probably too old for the shop but at least have crap Christmas music on like everywhere else.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    People bragging about money or generally bringing something up without being asked when it's of no relevance or interest to the other person. Crass and tacky and telling. Insecurity running through them like a stick of rock.
    If it's a regular thing or particularly tactless moment anyway.

    I don't get why they do it. Other places do it also and it almost confuses me and I leave without buying anything.
    What's worse is when there's loud music and very dim lights and you can barely see the products.

    Hollister /abercrombie??

    I think it's to weed out people who are not their target audience..... ie too old :)
