    When a customer you have an agreement with to leave parcels at their door refrains to tell you they are on holidays for a few days, yet still get a parcel or two. Only a neighbour told me, it'd have been left outside for as long as they are away , increasing the odds of it getting taken or destroyed. Said neighbour offered to take parcel in, but out of pettiness I wrote out a docket since they didn't inform me of their travels.

    A heads up would be nice.

    And people wonder why An Post gets a bad name

    The gobshîte security in Blanchardstown shopping centre who clamped the Brinks cash in transit van. Surely common sense can be used and a photo and email sent to their management as opposed to clamping a vehicle possibly with a five or six figure cash sum onboard which was parked on a central reservation and not blocking any fûcker….. 😵‍💫

    Speaking of those Cash Delivery vans.

    How about when the driver presses a button and sends out an an alert saying.

    Driver needs assistance, contact the Gardaì and do not approach.

    You then ring 999 for the driver to wobble out of the back of the van after accidently pressing the button.

    league of Ireland refereeing…. 😳. It’s actually getting worse. Derry vs Rovers… yellow cards handed out for nothing but shîts and giggles, then clear a cut penalty for handball just ignored…. Bizarre, awful officiating has been the scourge of that league since forever.

    That I couldn’t sleep . Despite tablets and being quite tired , I seem to get new energy in bed .

    People with absolutely massive TVs in their bedrooms. The TV shouldn't be the focus of any room, let alone a bedroom. My mum's neighbour's young teenage son has a TV so massive you can see what he's watching from her house, and they live on a pretty wide road. It's bananas to me.

    I was looking at mattresses recently and in one of the shops, they'd a bed with a dedicated stage at the end which could rise and fall via remote with the TV on it. Seemed excessive.

    Oh wow I remember that being a big feature on cribs/celebrity homes years ago.

    Current TA is pain, yet again, mid or lower ribcage to neck on the back

    With the XL Bully ban coming in the amount of charities etc trying to offload XL Bully's is sickening. Lot of charities have these restricted breeds on offer and lets face it not all are going to go to responsible owners.

    Seem to be chafing in my legs after I go to the cinema for some reason. Maybe it's the sitting down.

    Also, I've a job interview on Monday. I've done very little prep as I don't really know what to do other than googling potential questions and the company.

    1. the gobshìte on the Boots website, who gives the following review with 5 stars 😵‍💫 for a foot care product that I’m now browsing and comparing…The review : “I bought this Scholl product & it hopefully it will work.” ……How can you give it five stars, if you haven’t used the fûcking thing yet…or haven’t seen the results…. Eejit.
    2. Watching the South Africa vs Argentina rugby match… Argentina getting completely ridden by the officials….forward passes, offsides, shots off the ball by the springboks just ignored, right under the noses of the ref and his team. And the Pumas getting pinged for anything even marginal.

    The constant subtitling on YouTube shorts.

    Why the need for them?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,776 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    having to hide my change jar because it’s constantly being pilfered…. “ I’ll just get a newspaper so I’ll borrow x of change ok…..” is one regular one.

    If you hand the shop employee a tenner, twenty, fifty, whatever, there is a whole known system of payment that includes reimbursement of change… About 80% of the time I never see the cash back, no biggie but…. If you only have a tenner, they’ll give €5.60 back, you don’t need change….

    A big gang of teen scrotes outside Fine Wines in Parnell Street Limerick on Friday evening. One skinny fella was strutting around without a t shirt trying to look hard. The door was rightfully locked by the staff but it meant that I couldn’t buy a few Friday evening beers to bring to my parent’s house. Luckily though I had some beers in the fridge from my last trip to the parent’s house.

    All the ads on YouTube. Go back and try again to try and get a shorter ad.

    When I click on a item on boards and it appears and the display scrolls up and then down. At least on mobile. And the empty pages.

    Full arm tattoos that look like someone stuck their arm into a barrel of oil.

    Funnily enough , seeing the post about TV’s in the bedroom I think I need one . I find it easier to fall asleep with one on rather then staring at the ceiling and sitting up to all hours in the living room . Which is a TA of its own .

    That the NFL is back on and I missed that the Jets were playing in London . Too late now to organise a trip

    Did I mention people repeating themselves?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,955 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    I'm the same. I usually put something on, and use the timer to switch the telly off after an hour (or whatever seems suitable). It works for me!

    My trivial, yet maybe not too trivial, annoyance is that I think the new electric bike I bought isn't big enough for me. I bought it online but it said it would suit anybody up to 200cm tall, and being 195-196cm, I thought that would be fine. I have the saddle to the official maximum height but it doesn't feel right, because I can't extend my legs fully. I think I'll just have to go a bit beyond the maximum. Still getting used to it, though…

    Jehovahs Witnesses….calling at 9.10 AM on a Monday, no, just get to fkkkkk…

    Low pollen count but weirdly enough symptoms indicating otherwise.

    Jesus, Buzzfeed has officially reached the bottom of the barrel. They've clearly mined Reddit of all its useable content and are now reduced to using the absolute nadir of online life, Quora.

    Holding my breath when a web page does not appear to be loading ...

    Micro Anxiety over a ******* web page loading.

    Also micro anxiety each time I'm asked about cookies.

    My dad and his judgement.

    Wedding this Friday, spilling into Saturday as its a school friend and its the first time in a while the whole gang is together.

    'Oh yeah you'd have to go to day 2 sure, won't get enough drink at the wedding' or words to that effect.

    Its a continuation of sly digs towards me since I booked a week off work to go to a foreign stag do in March. It's literally one of only two weeks off I will get in the next twelve months or so, and the only time I will be abroad in a year. Great chance to get some sun and unwind. Yet apparently, according to him, I'm only going because there'll be drink involved and couldn't possibly miss a stag.

    I'm a grown ass man, that doesn't actually go out as much as I used to anymore, and there wouldn't be a word said if either of the brothers were in the exact same boat.

    Has me a foul mood now.

    the absolute dose responsible for programming the traffic light sequences at Northern Cross in Dublin.

    Filter light for turning right green for 7 seconds, I timed it exactly and witnessed it allowing on each occasion 3 cars to get around…. 5.15 pm, the middle of rush hour. About 6 minutes taken to move 50 feet.

    You're not meant to extend your legs fully on a bike

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,955 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    I know it shouldn't be completely extended but it should be close enough to it. The way my bike was, it was too far the other way. I've made changes to the saddle so it's better, but it's still not ideal.
