    Tiny USB WiFi and Bluetooth adapters that don't have any markings on them!

    Is that little USB adapter I've just found on the floor for a wireless mouse, a wireless keyboard, is it a WiFi adapter or a Bluetooth adapter?

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    check my Facebook feed first thing.. My feed, it is just clogged chocka with advertisements….

    now TV, Paddy Power, Samsung, booking.com, Disney, Netflix, Odeon Cinemas, Ticketmaster the Gaiety Theatre….and more besides. For every two to three friend / page posts on there, there then is a big fùck off advertisement….

    Literally nowhere is safe now from corporations and businesses hocking their wears at you , Facebook now, what’s next, whatsapp ads targeting us ? Start your car, have to watch a 30 second advert on the digital dash before you drive…? Go away ! 🫵🏼

    Another rubber gloves TA. After dealing with that ⬆️, you choose the option that's more tolerable to you at a given time, you work away with harsh detergents, and when you take them off you realise that one of your hands is wet and has therefore been in close contact with said detergents for a considerable length of time. Limescale remover, in my case (only slightly less concentrated than toilet limescale remover).

    My ex-neighbour's nephew has moved into their empty house, and after a few weeks, his girlfriend has joined him.

    They are both well-paid 9-5 employees. They seem like a lovely couple, if a bit noisy (I assume neither of them has lived in a semi before). At random times, I thought I could smell a pot-like aroma, but because they have both been off the past few days, this smell has gotten exponentially worse. To the point the whole downstairs in "my" house reeks of it.

    Ta's on this, given that I was born gasping as I had a common lung condition, have multiple airborne allergen issues and now my worst nightmare, yet another person who, ime will just see me as a spoilsport if I ask them to smoke elsewhere in their house. It's like someone up there doesn't want me to breathe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Also, freaking freezing with having all the windows to air out the house to dilute the smell somewhat.

    Cyclists dressed head to toe in black on black bikes, nothing to alert others. Impossible to see them.

    The way the players sneak up and dump a big tub of ice-water over the coach's head when they win a game in american football. Coach, your hard work has really helped us to win this game. We will now thank you by soaking you and giving you a cold and maybe even a heart attack.

    I know its the time of year that people tend to be home for Christmas, but getting dragged between different places meeting different people all on the same day, and the small talk that ensues, is my idea of hell.

    I've had an insanely busy period in work the last 2-3 weeks (just today I had a 10 hour shift whilst eating in transit to save time), and don't normally like to be anti-social, but all I want to do is decompress, rest and recuperate when I get a few days off. Give me notice if you want to meet up, don't spring it on me.

    Same TA on the Shanowen road in Dublin yesterday, black bike, zero lights and no visible reflectors, nothing illuminating or reflective, cyclist with black or dark helmet, dark clothing, …. Like you literally have to go to a grand total of 5 minutes effort online, about € 40-50 euros tops to procure two sets of quality rechargeable bike lights & two hi-vis vests and you are sorted and with replacements too…they don’t care about their safety but they expect motorists to… 🤪

    When you need to clean the house but you know it'll be back to the way it is in a day or two.

    When people refer to the 'mayhem' of Christmas.

    It's only mayhem if you want it to be mayhem trying to make it look perfect on your socials. They're usually the matching PJs brigade.

    Its probably the one time of year when the build-up far far exceeds the day itself, which gets boring quickly.

    Mayhem in Dunnes today, ten deep at checkouts and queues around town to even get into a car park.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    I’m going to hurl.

    What about an app that would recommend places with humane toilet standards



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,534 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    Yep, avoid manky pubs. Leave a bad review.

    The spinny up-and-down scrolling thing Boards is doing lately… I don't have time for Vanilla vertigo.

    Received an email calling me a prevert and that they hacked the camera of my phone and also have video of me basically having my wicked way with myself.

    If I don't pay them they said they are going to share the video with all my contacts.

    Well that's Christmas down the swanny.

    those emails are hilarious. I was getting them weekly at one point.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,426 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    That'll make a nice Christmas card for your contacts :)

    the mini supermarket I use. Look at their listing on to google….which tells me they are closed today, but open tomorrow..I’ve even called them three times in the last hour to clarify and nobody picking up so it must be correct. Why would you be closed today but open again on Christmas Eve ? That is kinda bizarre, would it not be better to open today and close tomorrow ? 👀



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,664 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    That it's Christmas Eve-Eve and I still haven't finished my shopping.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,426 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    Could it be closed for a funeral? Essential repairs?

    You are too late, somebody already came up with that idea in a sitcom. It was either Larry David or George Costanza iirc.

    People who never shut up about Christmas but who put the pressure of sorting out Christmas on someone else.
