    Just join in the conversation and offer your thoughts and ideas on the topic.Makes it more entertaining.

    I have done that before.

    "So anyway, Natasha, did your mate ever find out what that weird rash was?"

    "I'd definitely go for the blue jumper, yeah, white shows up every stain and mark"

    They did shut up at the time but they still do this every single night. I don't know if they're just a bit thick or what. They have a living room they sit in every night until gone 11pm. I have no idea why they feel the need to go to bed and then chat for hours. It's infuriating.

    You could always put on a porno and turn the volume up during their conversations as well.

    If you watch a program about a murderer. They are often expert psychologists.
    If the killer is quiet and a loner. It's the reason why they did it.
    If the killer is loud and have loads of friends. They did it because they've to be the center of attention or something along those lines.

    Real butter non spreadable. Hate the stuff because it ruins making a sandwich. Always have to leave it in clumps. Plus then when try and spread the butter does not work. Worst case scenario a hole in the bread.
    Plus any likes on this post are going to annoy me as well. Only trying to butter me up!

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Are you not worried about what they can hear from your room?!

    The worst one in your doll Elizabeth Yardley. Every sign whether he's quiet or loud is a fcucking red flag as a murderer/ rapist etc. Pure bluffer dodging out of a real job imo

    I just remembered one from the other day! In the supermarket I spotted something that made me do a double take. More, even, I went back at least three times to re-read the label. The product in question was a bag. The large writing on the bag read "100% peanut butter". The bags were partially see-through, I could clearly see the contents. No, you lying, misleading shysters. What you have there isn't "100% peanut butter". That's a bag of nuts. Whole. Shelled, but whole. Nothing "butter" about it. :mad:

    Something that is equally annoying is when wraps get stuck to each other in the packet, usually in clammy weather. And no matter how careful you are separating them, a hole or two always appears, making them structurally inadequate.

    My TA is the fact my feet still feel wet some four hours after going for my walk, admittedly in the rain :D

    Freeze the bread. Butter it straight from freezer, won't make a hole in it then.

    Alternatively melt the butter and pour it onto the bread, so many solutions. 😂

    I know, but it still annoys me.

    TA I bought something for a neighbour with my card and he paid me with cash which I feel is essentially obsolete at this stage. I might keep it under the bed in case of a second surge anarchy scenario.

    There's a parent group I'm in and the thinly veiled competitiveness and one-upmanship is astounding and really annoying! The latest was someone saying they don't buy their kid "whole toys" instead they will just give them a paintbrush or a roll of tape or some other random object, to encourage them to create their own toy. Ok fair enough, but then it had to be qualified with "and I know this works because my child is smarter and more creative than anyone else in the world etc." Or someone will ask for a recommendation for bottles and be told they should be breastfeeding, or a recommendation for ear piercing and be told they are mutilating their child. It's endless.

    TA the world of parenting appears to be a dark place full of weirdos trying to prove themselves and outdo others. I'm just here like, I kept my baby alive today and managed to wash myself yay ��

    You should leave that group. Doesn't sound like you're getting much out of it except annoyance. I haven't had that experience with other parents at all to be honest. I've found the exact opposite in that others parents were really encouraging, particularly with our first child. But then again I never joined a parenting group so maybe that's where the demons doth dwell :D

    I think the HR people in my place of work are conspiring to drive me demented. I'm engaged with three people from three different HR departments at the moment (because God forbid there'd be a centralised HR system) about various issues. Every single time I ask a question, no matter what about, the response is to copy and paste a link to a page from my workplace website. This is despite
    a) the page only containing general information and not addressing my questions and
    b) me already pointing out in the initial email that that particular webpage does not actually address my concerns.
    I'm fairly sure at this point that they're getting some sort of commission from whoever designed the webpage based on the number of copy and pastes they do in a week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,558 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    As on off-shoot to Antares35's post, my TA is that despite social media making us more connected than ever before, it has DEFINITELY reduced the intelligence levels of some people.

    How did our parents raise us at all without the need to constantly ask for recommendations from strangers off the internet for everything, every single day (example: does anyone know what time the chemist opens today at? TIA x. Its not that hard to check yourself). Those mammy groups and buy and sell pages are eye-openers. It sseems a lot of people have lost the concept of figuring things out by themselves, or indeed live off the validation of social media 'popularity'.

    Its a wonder how we survived without social media at all.

    I forgot to put eyeliner on today.

    Cos the village was strong :)

    The majority of mothers would have stayed at home so there would be plenty of other mums in the locality, out for walks /shops etc so would share tips in person.

    Families were bigger so eldest sisters would have reared the younger ones, so already trained as mothers. Then the younger kids would be close in age to their niece /nephews so would also be half rearing them, again getting training on how to look after children.

    Everything was also alot more "local", often people bought houses close to either their parents, other siblings or some relation.

    But yeah social media gives a platform to certain individuals to announce how fantastic they are rearing their children (obviously one handed as the phone must be glued to the other) when the majority of us are just happy that the kids are alive, fed, clean, clothed and we've had a shower :)

    Though I do appreciate your qs was probably rhetoric :D

    I was in a parent group and the judgyness was horrifying. I left it only yesterday after mentioning I felt like giving up feeding because my little guy was trying out his new teeth on me and I was accused of selfishly deciding to permanently damage his health, intelligence and security, all with an undertone of how bad a parent I obviously was compared to them. I wasn't even serious, just sore! I can imagine the impact that sort of pile on would have on someone feeling a bit vulnerable, it's just a horrible way to behave and I don't want any part of it.

    You get through the day and if the baby is happy then you're winning. The only opinions that matter is the babys and yours. :) Congratulations, btw!

    Finally, finally, got an answer this week.
