    Some journalists that a few months ago talked about Leo like the sun shone out of his backside, now having picked up on the public mood toward him are suddenly acting like they never liked him at all

    Something that trivially annoys me 1: going to fill my car up but all the pay-at-pump spots are occupied by cars with no drivers, because they've gone into the shop.

    Something that trivially annoys me 2: Getting a medium fries at a McDonalds drive-thru, and they don't put salt in the bag.

    Both of which happened to me today.

    When you wake up to a glug glug sound and you realise the dog is drinking out of the toilet.

    I am going to get up soon.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,741 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    I trivially annoys me to see people letting their dogs slobber all over their face, knowing that dogs do that toilet thing (and probably worse!).

    Amazon US not doing returnless refunds when it's their mistake - they sent the wrong item.

    Searching for pre-Vanilla posts, even with Google, is a waste of time.

    I thought google would save me when I was looking for a post the other day. Could hardly believe it when it failed.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    • The doorbell rang just after 7, I looked out and there's a door to door seller hawking whatever waiting expectantly with his tablet. Feck off annoying people at that hour of the evening.
    • Torrential rain has just started and the road outside now looks like a river.
    • I'll never know if the salesman and his tablet got drenched.
    • I've no idea where the bullet points came from. 🤔

    one of my favourite summer casual jackets is nowhere to be found.

    It can’t have ended up in the charity bag as I bought it less then a year ago and I am not giving something new and likeable away.

    Had it with me on a trip last September and now it’s awol….unless I left it in the hotel then, I dunno.

    I was trying to shop for jeans Today. Apart from trying to find the correct size.

    I couldn't make out the cut. They were sort of a granddad/teenager put together.

    Yep, Vanilla is definitely back to jumping the cursor to mid-word as soon as you start typing. It's mildly infuriating, but getting less mild every time it happens.

    Stuck in bed not feeling well, the neighbors yelling along with their new puppy obsessively barking is not helping. Just another day in this madhouse.

    I f*cking hate the NHS.

    I'm having foot pain so to see the GP, I can either fill in an online form at precisely 8:00 (they're limited) or wait for 45 minutes on the phone. To be fair, the form works but it takes a while. I get to the end and it tells me to "seek medical attention" instead of passing the info to a clinician.

    The bloody price of fuel. 🤬



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,141 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    Getting fuel - then seeing price drop (ok, hasn't happened for a while!)

    Holding off on getting fuel - but price increases.

    I queued for ages at by far the cheapest Circle K around last week, then picked up the wrong fcuking pump by accident - the Miles "Plus" one. Had a good 12 litres or so in before I copped the price on the pump was way higher than the one on the sign, and realised why. And then to add insult to injury, I was so annoyed about it when I went in to pay that I forgot to use the Parking Tag 4c-off-per-litre offer. I was raging.

    Still am, tbh...

    So I got a new electric toothbrush on recommendation from my dental hygienist.

    The toothbrush now gives me a sarcastic half-smile if I brush my teeth for less than 2 minutes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,058 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    Promised myself a bath after taking the dog for a good long walk. Halfway through said walk and I've just realised I forgot to put the hot water on before I left the house 😭



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,573 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    I spilled a glass of water on my trousers this morning. at lunchtime I spilled a cup of tea on myself. I am currently on my third pair of trousers and second pair of underpants of the day. Currently.

    Also, on what planet is it less hassle to wash up all your breakfast things by hand rather than just empty the shagging dishwasher???

    a delivery arrives.

    Doorbell rings, I’m there in about 15 - 20 seconds. The courier is just driving off. I looked down and the package is left by the big plant pot, unsecured and vulnerable to the elements as well as obviously…theft.

    I check the delivery record online… ‘package handed to recipient’…..🙄 was it fúck it was handed to nobody… it was dumped…..if it was handed to me I’d have signed for it…🖕🏻

    Customer service in 2024 is now an absolute joke… I blame covid and society absolutely bending over to acquiesce to businesses and deprioritising the most basic service requirements and simple expectations and entitlements of customers.

    The team on todays The Chase . Each one of them could have gone high and they romped home in the final chase with a score of 23 . Why not go for it and it would have been 110K they won

    Adverts now on various apps or websites, which deliberately won't leave the screen, even when you hit the X or CLOSE button. Some even have a countdown when you are supposed to be able to close it, but it ignores your press and makes you watch more.

    And similarly, websites that have something like a login button close to an advert banner, and yet despite you being VERY careful and making sure you tap the login button , it pretends you hit the advert banner, just so they can show you it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,537 ✭✭✭✭blade1


    Thought it was my phone.

    Yes crazy with weeks.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,321 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    Lack of proper investigative journalism in this country.

    Just some recent examples. We are hearing about the refugees and their tents, and how it's ruining the area and people are afraid to pass there at night. Or what about UHL and the fact the A&E is like a war zone?

    Why aren't rte sending crews down to these or a reporter to do a special, so we can see what's really going on?

    More locally, in a dire housing crisis, there is a development of social housing which was built and completed about 12 months ago, yet is lying idle due to a dispute between builder and council. Maybe 40 or 50 homes, empty. Yet I have never seen a local media article about it. The local journos too busy doing party photos!

    Picking up a click and collect order, and only noticing when I got home that the chicken is out of date today. 🤬

    Guess we're having chicken for dinner.

    An online form! That's high tech for the NHS. My GP doesn't even have that option. You just have to try call at 8.30 along with 7 million other people and just keep ringing over and over again until you get through. I've never avoided a GP as much in my life. I'd rather go to A&E than try get an urgent appointment with the GP.

    TA - I think I've hurt my back, but I've no idea how. I went for a gentle walk this morning then sat at the desk to start work. So who knows what's happened.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 40,099 CMod ✭✭✭✭ancapailldorcha


    That's horrible. Maybe I should be more grateful. My TA is that I keep getting what I'm pretty sure is plantar fasciitis and I've no idea why. I don't run as I'm a lazy fecker.

    Anyway, I submitted a voicemail and they rang me after 5pm yesterday when I was on the tube. I obviously missed the call. They texted me telling me to expect another in 10 minutes but rang an hour later.

    A mixed bag to say the least.

    I was talking with an elderly lady about gardening, recently. We talked about jasmine, and now that some flowers have bloomed I showed her a sprig, making it very clear to her I was only showing it to her as the flowers were for another person. Her hearing is better than mine. But she said I was very thoughtful for giving it to her and grabbed it off my hands. I'm pissed off 'cause the actual recipient will have to wait, and because it was a lovely sprig. And yet I know it's very trivial.

    And chances are that she'll throw it away.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,285 ✭✭✭✭EmmetSpiceland


    I thought I had that as well, insoles and decent shoes sorted whatever it was.

    IME, I get full relief for a while and then it comes back. First time I got it, I had Clark's shoes that seemed fine. Only difference was that I had to buy them online due to the pandemic.

    I think I figured out how I hurt my back. A jalapeno went down the wrong tube last night at dinner and I spent a good 10 minutes coughing up my lungs. I reckon that's what's hurt my back. My sister said I'm like the female version of Mr Bean.

    I swear to god since I turned 40 everything is rapidly starting to fall apart. I also get what I think is plantar fasciitis on and off. It comes and goes though. No way am I even trying to get an appointment for that!
