    I left vodafone years ago as they are the single worst company I ever had to deal with. Surprised that they are still so popular.

    The vodafone issue was with their dns. If it happens again, changing your dns to cloudflare (1.1.1.1) fixes it.

    The time wasted doing dry rolls with a rollerball deodorant, waiting for the actual deodorant to come out.

    I hate inequality of shopping trolley lines.

    Then seeing somebody return a trolley to the big line that's sticking out into the car park.

    One of these days I'm going to take a euro coin and fix them myself. Take a trolley and even the groups up a bit. I know I'll look like a freak but do it anyway.

    I always thought that trolley phenomenon was really indicative of how many people live their lives without a care for how their actions impact on others or the planet. It's like they all say "oh sure what difference will just one more make, sure it isn't what I do that will change the world". And in a way they're right because there isn't just one trolley that blocks up the carpark but because they've all taken the "not my problem" position, it becomes a big thing.

    TA I despair for mankind :D

    Or putting your basket on the stack of baskets but leaving the handles in the centre so the next person can't put their basket in without rearranging the previous shoppers basket.
    Death sentence!

    Went to my local small supermarket on Saturday. Just after sanitising my hands, I went to grab a basket from the stack right beside me, when this woman came over who was already inside the shop to take one. No problem there; except she didn't take one. She just held the handles of it while it was still in the stack and there staring into space. 10 seconds pass, and I'm standing there waiting for her to take the basket, but she doesn't - it's like she's frozen. So I politely say "Excuse me, I just want to take a basket...", and she snaps out of it, gives me a filthy look, and walks off without the basket.

    10 minutes later I see her in the biscuit isle, with her arms laden down with all kinds of groceries she can barely carry. Weird.

    As I was off work today, my wife suggested we take the recycling to the dump. Great idea, I thiught.
    She had all the stuff bagged and ready to put in the car when it dawned on me....
    I was off work because I was getting the car serviced - I had just walked back from the garage after dropping it off.
    We only have one car.

    People having full fledged conversations on A Facebook post via the comments section.
    Example, I post a photo of a bridge.
    Person A comments “lovely photo”
    Person B comments “yeah, Marie was on that bridge in 2007”
    Person A. ...” was that the years John was in France”
    Person B. “No, it was the year Cathy got engaged”
    Blah blah blah
    I’m sorry I posted it now.

    A new girl moved in upstairs. The postman gave her my package last Thursday as she answered the door. She fcked off to her flat and kept it! I didn't know what had happened, I was onto An Post to find out, eventually today the postman called, a fine looking guy btw, and he told me what happened.
    He went up to her and knocked on the door and she never answered. I had to ring the landlady and then we found out she had basically stolen my post. The cheek of her. I'm pretty sure that's illegal.

    I was a passenger earlier in a new, brand new eight day old car owned and being driven by my Dad, a gorgeous motor.... car in the lane beside us, a work vehicle about to turn right , instead performs a 3 point turn, over a solid white line apparently having received a call for a job...but reverses back too far and back into our lane, hitting the door of my Dads brand new car... all be it not too hard...Guy was nice enough, very apologetic etc... but fûck, not needed covid time or any time... it was a very busy road and completely ridiculous and unsafe trying to make a three point turn but professional drivers being professional drivers know best right ! Our car was stationary the entire time as the lights were red so they obviously didn’t check their mirrors when performing the maneuver or misjudged the space...if there had been a cyclist between our car and the reversing car they were hospital bound.

    There are two scratches or marks, quite long , that will require fixing, so during a fûckin pandemic it means my Dad is going to be off in contact with more people to get this sorted...

    Too much to think that the driver would just have taken the turn right safely and come around again... added another two minutes to the journey for him max.

    ^^
    If it's any consolation, I'd saw the van driver feels far worse and is kicking himself for making that stupid decision.

    Probably, just annoyed that my Dad had his new pride and joy damaged, a seriously nice car, was good enough to take me to a medical appointment today so I’m feeling partly responsible...

    Funny on meeting him I commented jokingly about the state of the car, a load more of that Sahara dust came down overnight and covered it, making it filthy, then some outright carelessness by a fellow motorist and scratch city...

    Hopefully that's the "Car Christening" scratch, may it be the first and the last.

    Is she one of the noise makers? That’d be strike two.

    It’s illegal to open someone’s post. If it’s still unopened she can plead laziness.

    TA that I can't watch Great British Bake off tonight because Russell Brand is on it and he gives me the heebie-jeebies.

    Didn't get out for a run yesterday because the heavens opened every time I went to head out. Didn't get out today because I didn't finish work til after 7 and was just too hungry and knackered.

    My TA is that I've become the sort of person who a) is disappointed at not getting out for a run and b) feels the need to tell strangers on the internet about it.

    I work in the office every day. Hey someone has to do it as we have to download a file from a specific computer so I do it and I'm walking distance away, no probs.

    I walk 5km every lunch and I walk it hard to clear the head and play music . I do enjoy my lunchtime walks.

    My TA is I have a nemesis. There is a middle aged guy who jogs, fair play. First day I was walking on the very left of the footpath and he jogs towards me playing chicken and at the last second goes around me. Close enough to breath on me

    Another day he came up behind me and far too closely skirted around me.

    Today again I was walking and he comes towards me and brushes my shoulder though the path was easily 2 metres wide.

    What gives?? Sometimes I walk on the left, sometimes the centre, sometimes the right as I am relaxed and do not care and I never had an issue with another walker or cyclist. The person at highest speed adjusts, it works well.

    Why can't we all get along?

    I was going to suggest "fart", but this is better.

    He sounds a bit creepy.
    Carry a big umbrella, preferably one that can snap out quickly when you open it. :P

    I'm watching Supergarden and I'm thinking, all those poor plants condemned to certain death by being planted in thick, soggy clay. North facing, too. The only thing that you could grow in there are golems. But hey, as long as it looks nice until we go away, who cares...
