    People who look like they want to throw themselves out of a window when you pay them a compliment. Face like a nervous sheep.

    Youd feel like they think youre some kind of creepy sex pest.

    Most people are pleased and like to receive a genuine compliment, I like to say it and mean it and I think I usually hit the mark, but I spoke to such a backward, awkward one a while back. Some kind of emotional cripple-ness.

    I dont mean modesty. I understand self deprecation.

    I know that. I'm fairly accepting but I found it ill mannered. A thanks, or even or pretend not to hear, I could accept...some are just shy...but the absurd reaction. Its hard to describe.

    On 2nd thoughts. Had an odd moment once when someone said certain phrases and only afterward I realised I just sat staring at them. He reminded me of someone and it was startling. Mustve seemed incredibly rude. So I revise my. Ta.

    We all have our moments

    That latest tiktok trend (I don’t have it but see it on other social media p) of people miming over audio from tv shows or movies. Absolutely zero skill or talent yet some folk are taking it very seriously

    Bought a cordless hedge trimmer in Lidl.
    €24.99! How bad or so I thought!
    Got home and discovered it didn't include battery or charger!

    Back to Lidl and paid further €16.99for them! :mad:

    I have a coughing fit in a queue, coughed into a tissue and put it in my pocket to bin when I get home.
    Man in front of me turned and gave out to me for spreading the virus, he walked passed me at the decom station and spat on the car park surface on the way to his expensive car.

    People using the word revert incorrectly. It doesn't mean "get back to you" e.g. "when I get an answer I will revert to you". I just had that from a HR person at my company yesterday, which had me fighting the temptation to start mansplaining. :(

    If anyone is able to revert to me, that means they must have been me at some time in the past, since that's what the word means: to return to a previous state. For example: "when under stress, he would revert to a childish state".

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    The proliferation of quizzes since lockdown began.

    Used to love them, now I couldn't care less.

    What's worse is people, knowing that I am a quiz enthusiast, thinking that I would only LOVE to devise one for them and their own quiz night. At least three people have contacted me wanting to essentially do their work for them. It's not really fair is it? Like I don't know the dynamic of the group, whether its a fun quiz or if there is money riding on it, and even the general intelligence levels of the participants.

    Quiz nights can fook right off.

    I hate that thoughtless "do this for me" with no details.

    I hate that. Demands, without information.
    I tell people to give me my brief. I need to know what Im working with. Hate thoughtlesness.

    People stepping off the footpath without looking behind them. Not much good practicing social distancing if you are going to be run over while doing it!

    The fact that rte shoehorn the the following into all there articles about covid

    "Around 80% of cases of Covid-19 will be a mild to moderate illness, close to 14% have severe disease and around 6% are critical.

    Generally, you need to be 15 minutes or more in the vicinity of an infected person and within 2 metres of them, to be considered at-risk, or a close contact."


    Yes I think we get it already 😠

    I know the one. They leave there house walking with one reasable bag and end up nearly filling a small Trolley. I've no idea how he's going to carry it home.

    The Electric Ireland ad on TV at the moment. Chris Hadfield in the space station going around the earth, looking down on Ireland. Beautiful image etc etc.

    BUT........

    When the camera pans back from the station, the bloody thing is travelling from East to West.:mad:

    Everyone knows it travels from West to East:D:D:D:D

    Grrrr, sooo angry at the director.:(

    (You will all look out for it now...)

    Their front-line staff will continue to serve the public in branches - and put themselves at risk - similar to supermarket and pharmacy workers. Their support staff in call centres will deal with numerous queries from customers seeking assistance. The departmental staff will continue having to work 12 hour+ days to deal with the absolute avalanche of lending requests seeking reduced repayments, increased overdrafts etc.
