    I have one like that - there is no relaxing on it… and no way to get rid of it since it doesn't fit in the lift (the movers broke some of the supports just to bring it up the stairs) :( so I am stuck with an unusable sofa that takes up a lot of space.

    I'd have that taken apart with a stanley knife, a few screwdrivers, hex keys, and a saw if it were me!!

    The luxury of choice haha

    sorry just triggered, was moving my furniture around this evening and cleaning:

    I'm more than TA'd at the two disgusting couches I have in my house that I'm 'not allowed to replace'

    They're pleather, (TA at plastic being marketed as anything resembling leather also)

    It's completed flaked off most of the surface, just turns to black dust that bakes itself into the floor.

    The supports are broken in them, cushions have died a death in their old age, but more than that, there's two of these blocky huge things taking up more space than an L-shaped couch

    TA'd at landlords looking at a photo of something you wouldn't pick up free off the side of the road and saying

    "no need to replace those, so leave them where they are"

    arghrhgggrh

    The sooner I get out of here the better

    We must have similar sofas, the pleather cracks are driving me mad. I have the big L-shape, you're welcome to it :D …a matching set…. (an item I never would have purchased myself)

    My friend has the most uncomfortable armchair in the world in his rented flat. Ugly as sin too and looks like it has been around since the 80s. But nothing can be chucked out and replaced or the landlord would charge him silly money for it. It is so bad I get a sore back and legs from sitting in it! The joys of fully furnished accomadation in Ireland 😭

    There seems to be triple the amount of cars than usual on the road this morning in my area. Triple the amount of people waiting at the bus stop too. It usually seems to happen every Tuesday.
    Also when I went to sit down inside the bus the back rest was broken so I had to change seats. There’s a new “regular “ on my bus who only started to appear last week. I like to call him “Richie the Grunt”. He looks a little bit like former Republic of Ireland defender Richard Dunne, and he makes grunting and groaning noises for the entire bus journey.

    It wasn't a Malteser, it was one of those expensive truffles that look like Lindt but taste 10 million times better. It went squelch under my shoulderblade and turned to nutella. I had just changed the sheets, too.

    I sometimes watch YouTube videos on my tablet in the evening, mostly gaming related videos or music videos. It's the only thing the tablet is used for, so the recommendations are usually related to those topics and I do find interesting vids get recommended.

    Opened YouTube last night and a flood of American political diarrhoea everywhere. Vance HUMILIATES Europe, and other such cak. Absolutely no reason that crap would be recommended to me, but just page after page of it. The world is getting crappier by the day.

    Applied for my passport and it arrived promptly . No issue there but they stuck the label with the barcode on the back cover and it is almost impossible to get off .Spent 10 minutes peeling it gently off and was left with an extremely sticky residue on the back cover . Another 15 minutes of very gentle rubbing with nail varnish remover has got most of it off .Just not good enough to use industrial glue

    Boy Sib just found out that he can't walk into a café/pub/chipper and use their toilets!

    If I complained about this as much as he has in the past 10 minutes, I would be told to go to the doctor and get it sorted out!

    Online videos and documentarys who use really hammy stock footage. Like they might be talking about some mystery and say it has left people puzzled; cut to a clip of a man in a shirt and tie looking at his laptop screen with an OTT confused look on face, scratching his head like Stan Laurel.

    Had an impossible time yesterday getting all the work I needed done, so thought I would change my routine by getting up an hour earlier.

    Had an anxiety attack and didn't sleep for hours and hours! its like my anxiety and timetabling brain are ganging up on me.

    Took me an hour to change a watch strap. Granted I had no proper tools even thread to use to tie around the watch bar. Only a butter knife. But an hour!!!

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    TA that my boss thinks I am stupid enough to believe his gaslighting nonsense. Double TA that sometimes I do take him at his word and then realise later that it was all nonsense - opportunity to call him on it there and then missed 😠

    Bit noise sensitive today, this weather not good for my sinuses… scanning a document quickly the mouse scroll was too loud.

    How terribly insulated, petty, child like, fake and disconnected corporate jobs are from the real world.

    Ta with the greyness of the past week or so. No sunlight getting through. Don't mind the cold as much when the day has even a little brightness to it .

    I like Tiktok as in the app, its functionality, its user friendliness and general entertainment value. But as in regards people who actually create and post stuff… Tiktokers have to be THE most flaky and insincere cohort of people I’ve encountered anywhere. Fun app to use but as for interacting with its user base, no thanks…💡🔨

    Lack of punctuality. People who say they'll do something and don't.

    I can't sleep so sitting up in the cold . A neighbour thinks the burner at the back of my house is too loud for him , so can't put in on .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,975 ✭✭✭CrowdedHouse


    The end of a box of cereal, too much for one breakfast - not enough for two. I don't intend buying the same soon so the crows get a treat 😁

    Surely you can't live with this. Is it really loud and can you resolve this? Or is the neighbour being unreasonable? In which case you should ignore the complaints and remain warm.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,569 ✭✭✭✭cj maxx


    To my mind unreasonable . The burner isn't loud and he struck me as a whinebag when I first met him. The council man who called me said I could put it on at 9. Pm or so . I was doing that but the house gets freezing due to no insulation . He's the kind who walks briskly and notices anything his neighbours do . Stench of arrogance about him

    I got a bar in a filling station when I was getting fuel. For 25c more than I paid for it I can get a four pack of them in another shop 😧

    People who think it's a good idea to get as close as possible to a motorbike when overtaking. I thought some tit was trying to push me into the hedge this evening.

    1..people who are obsessed / OCD about neatness. Not cleanliness, just neatness. Got told off by them earlier like a bold child, hung my new jacket on their dining room chair, so new a jacket I am wearing it for the first time out…and it was moved for me 😅, room wasn’t in use & the chair withstood the momentary barrage of jacket.

    It’s not The Ritz, The Negressco or the Rothschild Mansion, people sit on the chairs, arse first ( I hope ) so hanging a jacket on the back of it isn’t causing harm ! it just triggers something in their 🧠…🦕🤪🤡🤦🏻‍♂️

    2..Facebook being weird for about 2 days…just got a notification as I’m typing the above TA that a friend tagged me in a post…given the time zone they are in this is odd. On checking FB I’m getting a notification for them tagging me in a post, 15 and a half hours ago… 🕰️👀
