    Smelly washing machine. The gunk that can collect under the fold of the rubber door seal is most foul👃

    Salespeople wanting you to switch energy provider knocking at your door and not taking the "I'm not interested" x 5 response I give as me having absolutely no interest in conducting business to some random caller to the door. If I at first just said "will you just f right off" would that be clearer terminology to use as to my disinterest 🤔.

    We badly need a "do not knock" register where there's a €500 fine for bothering people.

    It should be acceptable to punch them; there’s definite provocation & intimidation coming from them.

    I used often answer that with "and what if it has" immediate deflation

    Something that annoyed me: I saw a US cop reality show where police left a fancy car rigged with cameras in a really rundown area as a sting operation. The window was left open with the keys in the ignition and undercover cops were hiding nearby to grab whoever tried to steal it. The street was full of homeless addicts and this quite elderly homeless man hopped in and tried to take it before being quickly arrested. The whole thing was quite a pointless exercise in my view. These are addicts who are desperate for a fix. Of course if you dangle bait in front of them like that they will go for it. The old man was not a habitual car thief, he didn't even know how to drive, it was purely a crime of opportunity. Not to mention that anyone who is stupid enough to leave their car in a dodgy area with the window down and keys in it deserve to have it stolen. The police should be setting up operations to catch professional car theft rings who are stealing to order and chop shops not lazily targeting people who have ended up at the bottom of society to bulk up their arrest stats.

    Got a coffee in McDonald's.

    The lid is no longer plastic. Instead it's a kind of cardboard thing that gets discoloured and weakened as you drink it.

    Stuff not being made to last. The tablet i have is 4 years old. Today I started using the 3rd charging cable since I’ve had it. 1 and 2 both frayed around the neck then opened and started showing wiring inside. Despite me using it responsibly. I need go and buy another spare in case this new one goes too. Not happened to my phone cables , wireless speaker cables , or anything else. Just these tablet ones.

    I got a cheeseburger in Supermacs which had the thinnest beef patty I've ever seen in a burger. It looked like the beef was garnishing the onions rather than the other way around.

    doctor wants me to make an appointment for the sake of renewing a prescription.

    in many countries you can just get the product from the pharmacy otc. just cash and there you go.

    Ordering stuff on Temu, have €24.71 in basket and need to spend 29cents to make an order. OMG the time wasted looking when there isn't really anything you want and Temu keeps showing you the same stuff over and over.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    People who use so much strongly scented products, that the smell is so overpowering you can smell them from 20m away. They stink out any area they happen to be in or even walk through, workplaces, schools, shops, restaurants, cafes, public transport, crèches, GPs, dentists, even hospitals full of sick people with lung conditions.
    I’m not sure if they are totally selfish prats who don’t give a toss about suffocating others with their awful scents, or just stupid idiots who think drenching themselves in the stuff makes them more attractive or nicer to be near. Muppets 😩😩



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,610 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    Maybe they're nose blind?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,378 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    If using same scent you get desensitised to it. Need to switch around or ppl end up overloading on the stuff while everyone else can smell you metres away.

    Bags of dogsh*t hanging off an overgrown branch that you have to push away when you walk past.

    Sometimes, when I see drivers dawdling along, I wonder did they leave the house just to get in other people's way.

    Yes I was running late this morning!!

    Tesco local shop had signs up in their off license saying it was open today from 10.30 but till operator says no, have to wait until 12.30, confirmed with manager

    The manager is right unfortunately. Opening hours on Patrick's day are the same as a Sunday. Although why at this stage we still have different hours for a Sunday or Bank Holiday is utterly baffling



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,763 ✭✭✭Patrick2010


    normal bank holidays are 10.30, don’t know why today’s different. The funny thing is during the week they had new signs up in the off license area saying they were open from 10.30 today

    Try the various online doctors (Irish registered, perfectly legal before a mod jumps in!), they can prescribe a lot of common medications. I get a recurring prescription for €25 a pop as opposed to €60 if I had to go to my own GP. Plus the cost of actually filling the prescription, obvs.

    I've said it before - only recently.

    They're they're.

    Isn't it to discourage drinking at the parade or before?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,711 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    I go to this deli.

    You ask most of the staff to cut some slices of meat thin and they do. Example 6 slices of ham about €4.

    However there's this one staff member who cuts it very thick and it's about double the price and it doesnt even taste nice.

    She then kind of sneers at you for asking.

    PayPal . I’m chasing down online orders that I didn’t receive . They are looking for proof of payment . I can send screenshots from my bank , but ‘ for security reasons ‘ not from PayPal

    Never understand those people who have to take photos of their meals or cake or coffee when they're out. You don't have to record everything. How about just enjoying the moment. Same people will have their phones out at a concert.
