Shops opening on St. Stephen's Day is a disgrace.

Anyone working in retail will have had mad working hours up to Christmas Eve + then expected to be back in St. Stephen's Day.

Its disgraceful, who the hell wants to go shopping when that's all you do in run up to Christmas+ I say that as someone who loves shopping. If people didn't go to the shops then they wouldn't open.

Nowadays shops have sales all the time so no need for this crap.

Rant over!

That means you'll have to cook for yourself.

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.

Urrrgh when picking a bird her family should also be assessed. A rough lass might be a handful in the sack (which is a good thing) but is likely to come with this type of baggage.

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.....

I wouldn't dare. There is no doubt that this was your fault. That's how marriage works. You either persuaded her to buy it/you must have plugged it out/the plug wasn't loose when she checked it or she's come up with something even more inventive. But rest assured, this is definitely your fault.

That, sadly is far more common than you'd expect. Think they released stats on it a while back and by far the highest time for domestic related incidents was around Christmas.

Having worked taking calls from Gardai on Christmas Day the past two Christmases most of our incidents were domestics, and about 99% of them alcohol related

Had one last Christmas with the wife that ended our marriage. To be fair, it was a pattern of behaviour from her but last Christmas was the straw that broke the camel's back. Sadly, we're stuck in a situation where we are still living together and we have young children.

A Happy Christmas indeed.

I wain Iceland the other day and the bloody till operator called someone up to the front as they “only had a few bits” and didn’t even ask the people that they were skipping. I was already through and packing my stuff and I still wanted to beat him with a basket.

greencap · 24-12-2019 07:05PM

Just did the "Christmas shopping" there.

Few token bottles of spirits, box of chocolates, and some personal grooming stuff.

All of 5 mins. Local mini-Market. Had to go get other stuff anyway.

Thats how you do it.

I see you're familiar with the institution of marriage yourself. Unfortunately, I entered this institution both sober and of my own free will. I will play this card very swiftly and very quietly, I've even bought a pair of knee pads to ease the her stress.

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.

On the way home about an hour ago, I made one final stop at the local Centra to piss away more money. I pulled into a parking space parallel to the footpath. About 5 yards down from my car, there was a set of pedestrian traffic lights. Between my car and the lights, you could have easily parked a limousine.

I'm sitting in my car checking Google for a recipe before I head into the shop, and next thing I notice reverse lights going on and off in front of me. It was somebody making a horrendous attempt in a Land Rover to parallel park into that generous spot between my car and the traffic lights. After about 30 seconds of watching this unfold with no success, I switched my car back on and reversed closer to the car behind me to give this troubled Land Rover even more space. As I was doing this, the Land Rover just stopped and abandoned the parking quest. Out of the driver's door came a portly, middle-aged woman, who was more than happy to leave far more of her Land Rover out on the manic road than within the safe, marked parking space along the footpath.

I saw her in the shop, she wasn't even in a rush just to fetch one or two things and nip back to the vehicle which was impeding the road traffic and visibility at a busy pedestrian crossing - there was one of those small trolley-come-baskets employed by her Highness.

Not one fúck given there, nope.

That was the worst I witnessed today, so all in all it wasn't too bad. My heart goes out to anyone who works in retail though.

You can hold a space.

No you can’t, the only situation where a place should be held would be if someone say forgot an item and went off to get it and bring it back... somebody holding a place for someone who hasn’t yet arrived in the first place is not on.

But the other guy up above said you could.

Of course, I have worked xmas day for a few years so not its biggest fan.

I think the annoyance for some is their is always some person who think they are deeply profound when they say "xmas is to commercial these days",,,

no.****. sherlock.

The same people probably think Joe Rogan is an Intellectual Behemoth.

Brother goes to a friend's house and promises to be back for dinner....he never arrives on time, delaying the rest of us, sometimes we go ahead without him.
When he does arrive home with a skinful in him( drink driving) he wolf's down dinner and within 30 mins is vomiting it back up.
Every year.

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.

Wow. The pressure's really on my Secret Santa to come up with the goods now.

Try a sober fight. Yep, had a sibling who started a fight one Christmas, completely sober and has refused to apologize five years later! No drink or competition over board games. Just in a bad mood. Person is full of hatred to be carrying that around 5 years later.

Call the guards and tell them the approximate time he'll be rolling up pissed in his car.

Working in retail over Christmas has its up sides.

I was working in GAME in Derry and got to witness 2 women in their 50s have a fight when one accused the other of queue skipping.

Started out mild enough, then one noted a Donegal accent on the other, called her a fenian bitch and told her to F off back over the border. Punches were then thrown.

Centre security had to turf them both out in the street and neither of them got their shopping.

It was hugely entertaining.
