I've ended up in bed after work trying to catch up on some sleep since I only got 6 hours last night. Had just got cosy, heating on, snuggled up in bed, just about to turn off the laptop and have a nap, and your man comes home and immediately starts talking on the phone.

I feel like I'm turning into a terrible person, the thoughts I have when I hear his stupid nasally Manchester accent, just droning on about absolute sh1te. What kind of person lives like this? It's like he can't ever just sit there and be quiet, read a book, whatever normal people do. If he's not rabbiting on to his girlfriend, he's on the phone. Morning, noon and night.

You're not turning into a terrible person Lainey. I was the exact same with my Spanish flatmate. I absolutely hated him by the end. He'd shuffle into the room and my chest would tighten. This was back in March and neither of us was working during lockdown so that intensified it even more. He'd be innocently washing dishes at the sink and I'd be sitting there picturing whacking him over the head with a vase

His voice used to make my skin crawl and he never got dressed, ever. I know we were in lockdown but I still showered and put clothes on. He used to wear the same batman pjamas every single day. He was in his 30s ðŸ™„

As a pedestrian I've had that done for me and I personally don't feel comfortable with it. I often wave them to continue driving and they look at me like I shat in their kettle. YOU'RE NOT MEANT TO DO THAT.

Some drivers don't seem to understand that they're behind the wheel of more than a ton of steel. Where at all possible, I walk behind a car, rather than in front. When a driver waves you in front and sits there, obviously impatient, revving the engine, it's like staring down the barrel of a loaded gun. I expect some driver, some day, to think "stuff this" and mash his or her foot down on the go pedal.

I saw lots of gangs of young ones hanging around together with no masks during the first lockdown (even passing round a joint on one occasion :eek:) and now I'm seeing it again during this one.
About 14 to 18 y olds are the worst. Stupid teens :mad: Stupid parents for not keeping tabs on them :mad:

You can't blame the teens too much, I read in the paper they did a big study, mapping brains and and found out that, in laymans terms, their brains aren't wired correctly.
They are more pre-disposed to do stupid and dangerous things and take more risks than most adults would. Especially when they are together in groups.

If I had a housemate with those standards, I would be sent to prison for murder!lol.

My TA is this lockdown and now on reduced hours. I understand the reasons but I don't like having empty time on my hands, if that makes sense.

Work phone starts buzzing, "we need you, it's an emergency".
"No worries, i'm just going to finish this slice of pizza and go to my computer"
*finishes slice of pizza in 1.47 seconds*
*logs in to work machine in 27.23 seconds*
"It's alright, it's sorted"

Should I claim that as overtime?

A month ago, the managers in office gave everyone a Starbucks gift card as a little thank you, they said. I don't normally go to Starbucks, but today I had a little time and was near one, so I ordered a fancy coffee. Go to pay for it with the card ... the card was brand new, no credit on it at all. The level of incompetence in my office is stag-ger-ring. The coffee wasn't that great either, after I paid for it with my own money. :rolleyes:

Must've been your boss's way of saying "Thanks for nothing!".

Mapping brains and all that, but there's a difference between making some allowances, mollycoddling them, and letting them get away with murder. "Boys will be boys" doesn't cut it, why should "teens will be teens?". It wasn't THAT long ago that teenagers (and younger kids) knew how to keep a house, work, maybe look after their younger siblings and generally be responsible. But they were taught, and that takes time and effort, and these days lots of parents aren't arsed.

Overtime, and a call-out charge. At weekend rates. And petrol.

also TA Eir are getting rid of webtext soon which was handy for when im too lazy/impatient to text with the phone. more quicker/satisfying to type at the speed of a laptop keyboard and you dont have fuucking autocorrect to deal with.

Is autocorrect mandatory? I never use it. Much easier to type the word I want.

the purple tin · 23-10-2020 11:24PM

I was on the humour thread looking back at the old jokes posted 20 years ago.
:eek: Some of them would make Bernard Manning and Roy Chubby Brown blush!

joeguevara · 24-10-2020 06:14AM

Very little really annoys me. But now and again something happens that makes nails down a blackboard or biting into cotton wool seem like heaven. I will try and explain it.

I have stopped really listening to anything to do with Covid for the Last number of months. That decision was gold stamped when the last time I found myself posting on the subject was to someone who copy and pasted a website that espoused that vaccines were akin to cannibalism.

Neither here nor there. But the subject of the annoyance was when the current lockdown was published with a timeline of Wednesday midnight. Interestingly I didn’t see the live footage of Leo being confused and only saw it after.

I said it to my mate, ‘Wednesday midnight means going out to a pub on a Tuesday Night and when it hits 12, it’s midnight and it’s 12. He said ‘ no it’s when you go out To a pub on a wednesday Night and it hits 12.

Google shows that my mate is correct. This has caused my annoyance.

Let’s say Christmas Day is a Wednesday. This means New Year’s Day is Wednesday too. New Year’s Eve is therefore a Tuesday.

So let’s say you head out to your local on NYE. Tuesday nights. Dancing away, pouring shots into you but don’t want to miss the countdown.

When does the countdown start. Obviously it starts just before .......yes you got it ‘midnight’...why. Because at midnight it is the New Year. But hold on a second, New Year’s Day (jan 1) is Wednesday...but according to this fcucking lockdown Wednesday midnight isn’t until 24 hours later.

So the annoyance is either NYE countdown shouldn’t happen until a minute later than it has always been done or they couldn’t even describe when lockdown should have started.

Add extra annoyance when several people have said that a day can have two midnights.

Above post reminds me of 12 Days Of Christmas.
If Christmas Day is the first then 6 January is the 13th day.

Also annoying - people who insist that the clocks go back next Saturday night (31st)

"It's always the last Saturday in October"

But they always go back on the last Sunday morning - at 2.00am - which is 25 October.

the purple tin · 24-10-2020 10:49AM

Return of the glitch. Ain't that a bitch?

No that is why it is annoying me because it is nothing to do with what you said. It is nothing to do with hours going forward as that is always 2am and we know it is before Sunday morning. One more hour sleep or one hour less.

12 days of Christmas... Who the fcucing hell counts them?

Actually that's annoyed me more as. Joking

Just took a big gulp of cold coffee.

Antares35 · 24-10-2020 02:42PM

My OH talks way too much in the morning. I like to relax for an hour - feed the baby then stick on some live jazz while I sip a coffee and she plays on the bed beside me. I don't so much wake up as... emerge, I suppose. Then he comes in all sunshine and full of the joys of spring, bleating on about stocks and shares and tech stuff I just don't understand!

I know I'm so blessed with him really, but just in the morning I wish he had a volume button!

It should be the 12 weeks of Christmas at this stage, people start so early!

TA that you can't go buy a pair of socks or coat or any clothing but you can go buy as much alcohol as you wish ....

madmaggie · 24-10-2020 04:00PM

Mam, obviously clothes aren't essential. Drink enough and you won't notice.

Deja Boo · 24-10-2020 07:43PM

I do not like how weekends go by so quickly, yet weekdays drag on and on...

...there's a glitch in the time warp somewhere

Americanisms · 24-10-2020 08:04PM

Get really annoyed with people (with the exception of strangers) who leave glasses or mugs right next to the edge of counters or tables.

Why can't you leave the damn thing closer to the centre so there is 0% chance of someone accidentally knocking it to the floor!

the purple tin · 24-10-2020 08:07PM

I fell asleep funny last night and I woke up early with my neck and shoulder paining me.

Be right back · 24-10-2020 08:20PM

On nights tonight and having to work 13 hours instead the usual 12! The joys of shift work.

castletownman · 24-10-2020 08:21PM

Stopping at a pedestrian cross to let a couple of walkers across, but the momentum knocked my takeaway bag over and sauce spilled all over the footwell. Grrrrr

dubstarr · 24-10-2020 11:16PM

Got a chinese last night. It was so disappointing. Was like they boiled everything and it was tasteless.

We where waiting so long for it as well,we just ate it.

Antares35 · 25-10-2020 02:31AM

TA I've no idea what time it is. Clocks "go back at 2am" but my clock days 01:34. Has it already gone 2am and gone back to 1am 34 minutes ago? Or will it go back in 26 minutes?

Tescos sell socks and you can pick them up on your way to the alcohol section or not.

Also you can buy clothes from feet to head online. There is no embargo on drapery in order to pump alcohol.
