    I went to take clothes out of the wardrobe for this morning when I was brushing my teeth last night - multitasking at it's finest.

    I realised there wasn't any toothpaste on the brush so checked my face, clothes and the floor between the bathroom and wardrobe, no sign of the missing toothpaste.

    I went to put laundry away this evening and found the toothpaste congealed on the sleeve of a black jacket that had been washed after I last wore it.

    I rinsed it off in the sink and have it hanging to dry but I have a feeling I'll either need to wash it again or walk around looking like someone jizzed on my arm.

    Hung out some washing this morning but had to take it in less than 5 minutes later as it was too windy out and two pegs had already come off/broken 🙄

    Toilet roll dispensers that give only one sheet at a time, what use is that to anybody?

    Absolutely this, if that's the way it's dispensed please make it somewhat better than greaseproof paper at least

    Even worse when there’s no hot water and wipes to clean your fingers after it

    It's a sort of phonetic for the name of a recently resigned person from RTE over various disclosures, think it's Siun Ni Reilly, too lazy to search for correct.

    TA despite eff all sleep last night and all of it broken I still can't settle tonight. Up in less than six hours. 🤬🤬💩

    Self proclaimed experts on social media ….it’s flooded with the awful goons..

    one example a fella I just scrolled onto, claiming to be a driving instructor, giving erroneous info on how and when a motorist may proceed to overtake a cyclist. All the while taking one hand off the wheel to point at various issues of interest regarding the overtake… for a second he has both hands off the wheel to dramatically gesture faux frustration and subsequently doesn’t appear to slow down any approaching the speed bumps…..you’ve just failed your test you twat ! 🤪.

    Simple one: a scratch on my hand just above the junction of my thumb and I haven't a clue how I did it 😁

    Was in the waiting room for a doctor and a young couple came in . The receptionist was so rude to them and then proceeded to give wrong information . Seriously some people need to be told how rude they are and now I am annoyed with myself for not saying so



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,053 ✭✭✭Princess Calla


    Going out on a limb here. I suspect the young girl is pregnant and the receptionist does not approve!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,161 ✭✭✭✭iamwhoiam


    No , they were asking about medical cards and she actually gave them wrong information and then blanked them.

    Another couple for my Bad Drivers TAs Collection (TM).

    1. A chap rolling a "cigarette" with both hands while driving hands-free. You can't steer a car by leaning sideways like you do a bike, you nincompoop.
    2. Two lanes at a traffic light, one for going straight or turning left, the other for turning right. A van riding zig zag over the line, undecided, then takes the right lane and proceeds to stop way before the light to let through a car parked on his right which then plonked itself on the left lane cutting me off. I curse and let it drive on, when the fecking van also decides to change lane again, right in front of me - I missed it by a hand width because thank God my reaction times are still acceptable and I braked very hard. Then this chap turned to the right lane again, indicating right.

    FFS, if you don't know the way, park somewhere and check a map, don't drive like a headless chicken.

    Received an email from a tech store where I bought my now retired work laptop. This email gave the "support your local tech store" spiel.

    I checked their website.

    Well, a well known RTE Radio Personality has his own recommended products page on this site..

    Fek Off with ya. Forget about my custom.

    There was a notoriously rude receptionist in my doctor's clinic for years. I used to dread encountering her, and she was inefficient into the bargain.

    Anyway, one fine day as I was standing waiting to check in at the front desk, the woman ahead of me, was tearing into her, over a mistake she had made. All in a very calm, low-key voice which made it all the more effective.

    I don't think anyone else there at the time, either the staff or others like myself, who were waiting for our appointments, had an ounce of sympathy for her.

    Badly chosen stock images of humans put into artists impressions of completed future construction projects.

    There's one in Dublin that features a woman walking through a door. Her expression of shock indicates she was expecting to enter her kitchen, and not an amazing new rooftop terrace with city views.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,049 ✭✭✭NewbridgeIR


    Stock images in general. Especially for problem pages. They should use real ones.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,049 ✭✭✭NewbridgeIR


    Wife was going to the chipper earlier. I texted asking for "Dinner box with breast".

    When I opened the box, no breast. Instead it was a drumstick, and two thighs

    :(



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,198 ✭✭✭ruth...less


    I always ask for two thighs in a snack box lol rather than the breast 😁 hate the drumsticks tho.

    firstly……Sometime between 6.00am and 6.30am there is a fleet of Dublin buses cutting through our residential area to presumably get to their nearby terminus to start their routes . There usually seems to be about 4 or 5 or 6 in a group for the various routes… they probably shave 5 minutes off their trip by doing this and not going around the main road, but in the dead of night that many big vehicles almost one after another, the squeal of them breaking for the ramps, revving to re-accelerate off up the road, seriously noisy…despite being years here this only is happening the last few days….been woken up a handful of times including this morning and the road I live on has no bus stops / route, whatsoever…

    Secondly…. My neighbours little goth freak geek daughter is back living with them, she is in her early 20’s but must be kicked out or anyway moved out of her student digs or whatever. She seems to be despite being an asthmatic who has been hospitalised with the condition, now a total chain smoker that has her every 25 minutes out the front near my bedroom, if she has friends over the shrieking, and oddball noises out of these apparent adults is a thing of absolute mystery, going on now, most people I know go out their back for a fag, but not this little annoying gimp.

    I left my keys in work for the second time this week. They're in the lock of a locker beside my desk. Luckily I have a spare in my backpack (or I wouldn't be in my house) but it's annoying. And it means that anyone in my work area could be rifling through the locker.

    Getting charged a euro for an extra teabag!! I used to regularly go to a cafe for breakfast during the week before work and then every Friday for lunch. Yesterday I thought the pot of tea was a bit weak so i asked the guy behind the counter for an extra bag and he says "oh that will be a euro" and I was surprised so I reply "really? A euro for a tea bag?" And he kinda rolls his eyes and says ah here so go on and gives it to me as if he's doing me this big favour.

    That's the last time I ever darken the doorway. Cheeky hungry little fcuker asking a very regular customer who has handed over hundreds to his business charging a euro for a teabag. For not much more than that I could get a whole box of them in Aldi.

    The 101 bus breaking down on the motorway outside Swords yesterday morning. I didn’t fancy squeezing onto a packed Dublin Bus with the rest of the rabble so I booked myself a cab into work instead although it cost €45 💩



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,682 ✭✭✭Mollyb60


    I use an old fashioned clock radio as my alarm. This morning I was woken by the trumpet part in this already god awful song: (skip to 1:20ish for the delightful trumpets)

    It scared the absolute bejasus out of me. Not a great start to the day. I already hated the song but now I loath it.

    International womens day, a box ticking day for companies to showcase the miserable number of female employees they've managed to hire and pat themselves on the back for being so inclusive.

    Since when did loud, continuous public sniffing become a thing. And not just a little sniff but rip roaring snotty sniffs. It’s feckin disgusting, use a tissue

    Cillian Murphy.

    Don't get me wrong, I like him. Think he's a great actor, and usually enjoy watching him. He also seems like a really decent fella, down to earth.

    But Jesus the Irish media have gone way ott in their love-in for him over the last few months. There's hardly a day when he isn't discussed on the radio. And if it's not him, they spare a bit of time for Mescal or Scott.

    They've taken over the mantle from the rugby players as the nations favourites.

    He will win the Oscar, so I suppose we will have plenty more weeks of wall to wall Cillian.

    The online taxi fare estimator…..You put in lots of very specific information….. origin/destination/rate type, bags etc/number of passengers/day and time of journey.

    yet the estimated quote one way I’m getting is….. €12.00 - €17.40… So I’m paying return anywhere between 24 euros and 34.80 before tips.

    They might as well tell you to go pin a tail on a donkey.

    An estimate is not meant to be accurate but it seriously pointless when the lowest value to the highest is a difference of about 45%….. having been given very detailed info about the trip.

    **** nostalgia getting at me tonight.... remembering one of my childhood friends who I suspect was psychopathicish but I remember her teaching me how to walk high walls. And we used to call it the tests and she was teaching me all these tests I had to complete. I wasn't a climber naturally cause I was the sensible kid...I always meched with the crazys cause I brought them down and they brought me up and we made a happy medium. Anyway I was grand walking the walls ...like high walls...nearly ran it and I loved it but getting down was the problem. I was stuck on the wall and we must have spent an hour one night with her coaxing and encouraging and explaining to me how to do it..there's a technique to slide down... Eventually I just did it and I passed 'the test' and it was the best feeling and we were both delighted with ourselves.

    Id do anything to be stuck on that **** wall right now when that was my biggest problem 😁😁😁

    Neighbours parents are away again, so again she invites friends over.

    at 2.30am they all decamp outside, why exactly I don’t know it’s March ! Presumably to smoke but they are out there about 90 minutes, whooping, hollering, giggling and screeching…. The young neighbour is a melt, a little Chucky style starey eyed weirdo freak, a heavy asthmatic and she is smoking and hacking her lungs up like a 70 year old, no fücks or consideration given by anyone as to them being inches away from multiple residential properties and the time it is….. she has one particular accomplice, some ultra camp head melt drama lama who by the end is just roaring like he’s fit be be sectioned ….

    the property is ex directory, I have no recourse to slyly return the inconvenience, I would if i could…the Gardai on a Saturday morning too I’d imagine are going to be pretty underwhelmed with a noise complaint…..so by the end I sleep at what must have been well after 4am… cünts

    When you get a gift voucher for a place you've never been to (ie not a place you go to on a regular basis or a treat)

    You look at the price list....nice one, I either let the voucher go to waste or I fund 50% myself.

    I'm trapped in the smallest terminal in JFK with the most godawful diddly-eye "Irish" duo playing bowdlerised versions of traditional songs. Like trad music wasn't bad enough to begin with.

    Everything is also set to a waltz, for some reason.
