I've never understood the people from China and Japan and further afield who travel to Britain to buy luxury designer handbags in the sales, even though they still have a 4 figure price tag, the flights and accommodation can't be cheap.

I'm calling BS on you working in retail for years if you don't understand this

How is availability of cheap booze at any hour of the day a measure of progress?

Missus switched on a glowing santa she bought last week, it was working fine up to last night but today santa lost his glow.

I listened to 2 hours of stringing together words that never fit in the same sentence before all to the detriment of commercial enterprises focusing on the christmas market and the loss of €18....

I went to get the offending santa only to find the plug was loose (probably unplugged earlier to charge a phone and not replaced properly) and when pushed in properly the glow returned to santa's cheeks, not sure if it was all electricity or some of the effects of the blue air in the room!

I'm not sure what form of humble pie to administer.....

Feel free, I'm not really bothered about what a random stranger on the internet thinks.

A type of Zombie madness seizes drivers. Cars and SUVs particularly are abandoned at strange angles to the kerb. Box junctions become parking spaces. Disabled spaces are made available for Yummy mummies. Cars shoot across in any gap in traffic. It’s madness out there Joe.

The middle lane parade down the N7 of all the Avoca/Kildare Village/Whitewater shītcūnts is unreal.

My partner's family are quite common. They arrived over for a party last night in a dischevelled state, they had evidently been drinking at a public house before their arrival. They smelled of fags and cheap deodorant. On entering my home they began chugging cans of Carlsberg and were using course language in the presence of my young son.

Once the meal was served my partner's brother began protesting that the chicken was overcooked, (which it was, the woman is a diaster in the kitchen). He was quite vocal in his criticism and this ultimately created an unpleasant atmosphere in the room.

Afterwards we retired to the family room and they proceeded to play ungodly music into the early hours. DJ Tiesto anyone?

House is in a state today after it. Smells like a working mans club and my Armitage Shanks pull chain toilet has been damaged.

People feeling the need to inform everyone that will stop to listen that “they don’t like Christmas” and revel in pretending to be like a “Scrooge” type character when they are not.

I don’t really give a **** if you like it or not.

People not respecting an opt out. I certainly don’t wish to ruin anybody else’s nonsense, but I don’t partake to the extent that it can be avoided. Bought presents for family, and will drop them down later. That’s me done with it though. Pizza and Netflix, and a walk somewhere for me tomorrow. Hope everybody else enjoys whatever they get up to.

Not liking it doesn’t make anybody a ‘scrooge’. There are lots of reasons people might not want to be involved.

Actually I feel homeless right now. Being a single male and a **** property market means I'm finding it difficult to get my own place.

That’s very sad. Would yourself and your siblings not consider meeting up for Xmas elsewhere? I’d cut her out of my life altogether.

Is it wrong to be delighted I'm single and have no kids, so I don't have to rush around buying presents and visiting in-laws etc.
I can do what I want, when I want for the next two weeks.

More shi**y attitude than behaviour perhaps!

shesty · 24-12-2019 04:21PM

Nuts.Just had experience of a road rage incident from an individual in front of me that has left me somewhere between wanting to find a desert island somewhere and wishing I had a rocket to put under him and his car.Unbelievable behaviour.I will be glad when the evening comes a some sort of peace descends.(ie...the shops close).
I mean what's wrong with people??The shops are only shut for barely 2 days and they are behaving like it is some sort of Armageddon

Driving the wrong way up one way car parking roads in Dundrum attempting to nip into a space someone is reversing out of.. someone who needs to drive down to road they are now blocking.

A "My needs are so great they trump yours" bumper sticker would be a great stocking filler for them.

Fiery mutant · 24-12-2019 04:25PM

I agree Fr Dougal. Bring some Joy back into your life at this time of year, tell her the effect she is having in the family and start to enjoy yourselves elsewhere.

This boils my piss. I don’t know about anyone else but it seems to be a more regular occurrence, supermarket and airport check in/security Qs being terrible for it.

Grown adults saturating their social media with pictures of their present hauls, accompanied by long winded emotional speeches thanking their mam for the boxset & aftershave, their gran for the new socks, etc.
It genuinely makes me cringe. Gloating about all the presents you were given beyond the age of about 5 years old is absolutely pathetic.
Unless you were given a brand new Range Rover, I don’t want to hear about it.

Same problem as wall to wall newsTV had when it arrived on the scene. There's space to fill and not enough content to fill it. Ergo, quality must go down and any old shyte will have to do.

This. Exactly this & people have forgotten who has right of way on roundabouts. My new dash Cam has recorded lots of these idiots in the past week.

You can hold a space.

Not for multiple different shoppers. Well you can, because people never have the balls to pull them up on it, but anyone doing it should have their tyres slashed and shopping burnt.

I arrived early to a restaurant recently, long queue, I took a place in the queue while my sister was on the way. She arrived and joined me in the queue.

Is this against the rules?

Don’t see the problem with this kind of thing. Two people will be dealt with as quickly as one.

That's heartbreaking to read. Hope you get through the Christmas OK.

When people bring giant shopping trolleys into pound shops with tiny aisles, double buggys too. Assholes, leave your stupid kids at home

They don’t have an extra trolley full of stuff though.

To be honest, hard to have any sympathy for anyone who goes out buying useless tat in a pound shop.

I didn't realise anyone was in there in search of a 'shopping experience'

Sunrise_Sunset · 24-12-2019 06:03PM

People with Christmas Day/Eve birthdays who let it be known every year that they don't really get a birthday and everyone forgets about them. Feck off, it's Christmas

Man Oh Man, Big hugs going you way my friend. this is not what it is meant to be. You come home (as I have) to be part of a family warmth. Mum needs to be sectioned for the Christmas and then have some fun with the siblings. Try and make it fun for all... I know it is hard.. you sound like a person who just needs a big hug at the moment. Grab your siblings and go enjoy Christmas yourselves... They are the most important people here...

Females should not be let anywhere near anything electrical, mechanical, mathematical or scientific. It could cause injury to themselves or others.
