The “piped in” crowd noises for live matches. It’s fine for soccer as it serves as an “alert” to look up from your phone but in other sports it’s just a pain.

Bit odd having a stadium “announcer” too. Just seems, wholly, unnecessary.

It’s better than hearing the odd F word and followed by a groveling apology!!!

Random voice mails that just say ring back but no details given as to what for.. I have a feeling I actually don't want to ring this number back..

HeyV · 13-11-2020 11:22PM

Calls from Vodafone....

Christ, does the fact that I’ve not answered ye the odd 20 times or so ye have rang the last ten days not give ye the smallest clue at all?!? Grr!

Bought a second hand iphone 6s because I needed to work an authenticator bank app - which is a crap app anyway.

Phone is in great nick etc.
But I hate it feels so unnecessary (except the app)

Previous phone I had was a nokia 215 great battery life non smart phone - limited internet.
I bought that Nokia because I was fed up recharging a blackview smartphone (Chinese iphone knock off)

Now I nearly went into convulsions, when I learnt all the hassle it is to change a battery on an iphone 6s.
You tube comments said it was much easier than iphone 7!
Far as I am concerned seems far too unnecessarily difficult.

Another thing that really annoys me.I can't just download a random mp3 file I have and make it into a ringtone.
Have to jump through hoops loading apps and all sorts. Unless you buy one from itunes.
That fecking Steve Jobs fella was genius - genius at making money and making things awkward on purpose - right to repair etc

TLDR - I bought a second hand iphone for the sake of a bank app. I hate it, and feel like part of me has died inside. And I have lost respect for myself for giving in, and buying it. An annoying phone.

I'm the same, obsessive date checker and will always root around for the best one - but don't mess up the shelves in the process. My wife isn't bothered about dates though.

Anytime I'd to get milk for my mother she'd warm me about getting a carton with furthest best before date, even though the carton of milk would be empty within a hour or two

I need to leave this stupid mother's group I'm in online. At least once a week, someone will ask what to put in their kids "Christmas Eve box", specifying they want original ideas etc. There will literally be about 200 comments from people ALL saying the same things - "jammies", hot chocolate, Christmas movie, socks, reindeer food etc. Hey, she asked for some original ideas! But no, she gets 200 people saying the same thing. I'm gonna give my six month old a cheeseboard. Humbug.

Also TA, my Bible bashing neighbour left me in a letter while I was out. Came home and the OH handed it to me, saying the preacher left this for you. She's basically trying to force me to baptise my child. All this shíte about how she is the "Christmas miracle" notwithstanding that she's a girl, was born in May and I can attest there was nothing immaculate about that conception. She asked me to take her words into my heart and do the right thing. I'm going to return to sender saying she's fed and loved, end of. She doesn't need her head watered down to cleanse her of a sin she hasn't committed by an institution that defends people who abuse children her age. Ok, I'll remind myself she's a benign old woman and not do that and just be TAd

But why can't people just accept that their god might not be the same as everyone else's? What's this arrogance?

Repetitive ads on Newstalk especially quotedevil one every 10 minutes

Leave the muppet a letter back replying...

“ thanks for dropping the letter. Despite your intentions being good I am asking you to immediately stop this behavior. DO NOT send letters to me regarding my children, family, religion or any similar personal matter, in fact NO letters full stop, I wish to receive no further correspondence from you, regardless of the subject your feelings or your concerns. Failure to adhere to this request will leave me no other option than to go the legal route”

I'd love to do that to be honest. I'm sick of her meddling.

Never ever stop posting!!!!

That avantcard ad with "Dermot" doing up his home office.
While there's a constant stream of really unfunny, conversational ads on the radio, this one is special!

whisky_galore · 14-11-2020 11:44AM

Public hand sanitising stations.

The mix of press button and sensor types.

They're either empty, deliver a tiny wren-shyte sized droplet, or ejaculate gi normous greasy splodges.

Sky are the same. I recently answered after about 10 days of repeated call attempts and politely said "Whatever you're trying to sell me, I'm not interested" and the guy acted all butthurt as if I was a complete asshole.

14-11-2020 02:08PM

Even 'BC' I used to buy a lot of them hand sanitizer things. My 'go-to' ones were the ones that released foam - until they didn't seem to be as available, so I had to opt for those 'vaseline lite'

type ones :pac:

Don't know how to describe them any better, but they're very messy

TA in shops if too much comes out - like a thimbleful, or more - then I'm standing there seemingly like a Spare Prik while I take about 15 secs at least to rub an excessive amount of the stuff in until it; well until it's gone. And then about another at least 5 secs to rub away the oily residue at the end :mad:

If I'm in some places where I don't feel 'too many eyes' on me, and too much 'gunk' is dispersed I usually 'shake it off' (the excess ) onto ground

Fukkem - aint nobody got the time, or nerve to be static in a shop 'rubbing their hands'.

I can see this being a 'topic of conversation' on phone in radio shows, or TV magazine shows "going forward"

TLDR The awkwardness of rubbing in hand sanitizer, when too much is dispensed :mad:

I live in a normal, nice quiet neighborhood, never any trouble. But last night... about 03.50 I’m awakened by the motherfuçker of all screaming matches out on the road.. AT my gate which for some reason was smacked open too... a guy and a girl literally roaring at each other... after 10 minutes he goes to walk away, she follows him... she walks away, he follows her... both ROARING and I mean roaring their business from their evening all over what was previously deathly quiet and peaceful morning, ... she says to him not to follow her as he’s scaring her, when he walks away she instead instantly starts following him, roaring her head of like a fûckin banshee, ROARING .... then they end up back outside, it starts again...

Many of the places here now have been bought by landlords with a college 15 minutes walk away, and what’s been a nice, sleepy old nice area is slowly becoming pain in the assville.

I think it was after 4 am when I got back to sleep... nice way to start the weekend.

How come the generation NOW in their early 20’s are well a lot of them are such fûcking self entitled pain in the hole tosspot muppets, all of a sudden... it just seems to be a problem now, is it pandemic fever ? The stress ? The uncertainties of life, future, opportunities ?

Mollyb60, sorry to hear about your kitty. Face leaking is a great expression for the emotion you are feeling.

TA I started off with great plans but seem to have wasted the day

The phrase 'If X is Y, then I'm a monkey's uncle'.

I mean, that's hardly funny!

Work phone going mental in my laptop bag there. I'm not technically on call or anything like that but I do work in client services and we're expected to be available out of hours, so when it rang for the third time I was like, right, better answer it, it's clearly not some scam sh*te from Mauritius.

It was some Chinese takeaway telling me my order is ready. I was like sorry, you have the wrong number and yer woman got SO snotty with me - "I absolutely do not have the wrong number, you need to collect your food before I throw it away" - and I was like "Fire away, love, cause I've just finished the pizza I actually ordered". Eff off with yer pissy attitude and making me answer my work phone on a Saturday evening. Geebag.
