    So many selfish dog owners 😠 Can you leave a ‘tried to deliver’ card in their postbox so they’ll have to collect the package from the depot? If that happened a few times, maybe they’d control the dog.

    Bins at the bottle bank full to the brim, clothes banks overflowing.

    Dirty fe**ers who abandon black refuse sacks full of dirty clothes, old shoes and filthy duvets etc on the ground at clothes banks to avoid paying bin charges.

    Then other dirty fe**ers come along and root through the bins and bags looking for stuff to sell online. Yuck.

    When you're reading through a web page with lots of text and you're looking for the answer to your question (e.g. for something scientific) and you suddenly get a pop up prompt asking you "How likely are you to recommend this page to someone else, on the basis of the reply you got?" Well, 0%, at the moment, considering this stupid prompt interrupted my reading less than a third of the way through and I still haven't got to my answer. Let me get to the bottom of the page before asking, dammit!

    I just realised, think I threw out a very thin package I brought online as it came with other stuff in a larger package. I wouldn’t mind but normally I keep packaging “just in case” or “it might come in handy”. The very time I aimlessly throw something out, there was something else in it.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Not looking forward to changing the clocks on fiddly appliances, car etc

    I think people take post/delivery people/service for granted. Same service and cost (for post anyway) regardless of where you live in the country and regardless of how long, dangerous and expensive the journey is.

    Or just do what Ray D'Arcy does, and leave it wrong until the clocks change again.

    I heard durng the week that something like a third of people don't know or don't bother to change the clock in their car at all and just add/subtract an hour for the 6 months of the year it will be off. I'd rather just paint over it with black paint than live with such an annoyance.

    Seeing the word 'bevvied' used in the headline of an Irish newspaper. Not only is it not Irish, it is only used in a small part of England.

    TA have to do that every time we get a power cut.

    Car will get forgotten and then I'll panic one day when out when I think the clock is right and then after that I'll change the time.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Coming home from Dunnes Stores and discovering I had a €10 off €50 voucher I forgot to use and it expires today.

    I forget how to do it most times so just leave it . It always catches me out though when I’m going for appointments

    Finished work early today so treating myself to a Thursday pint. Standing at the bar and the air suddenly fills with a cheesy dirty wheelie bin feet smell. I hear somebody shout, is that a bunion?

    Turn around and some lad has taken off his work boot and peeled off his sock to show his friends the painful red lump on his foot from wearing work boots too long.

    I really REALLY did not need to smell your feet you muppet, keep your stenches for yourself and your hideous red foot lumps for your doctor :(

    The entrance to Pearse Station is very poorly marked on Google maps. I was running around like a lunatic looking for the entrance to the station. Thankfully I made the train just in time.

    Apparently there is, a lad who is an American citizen but Irish by birth, born in Dublin…Kevin Farrell is his name….

    TA1 I’ve no idea what film I want to watch, I’m scrolling through but...it’s 11.10pm and anything that half takes my fancy is in the region of 2 hours long..

    TA2 Forgot to buy Magnums at the supermarket……ffs. So will be out with a bowl, tub, scoop, spoon and cleanup after….

    If you know the exact word, fine, but not so much if you're reading through the alternatives to baclofen and its side effects, or the neurological causes for spasticity, or the causes of a respiratory crisis, or the recipe for a whole orange cake, or how to remove mould stains from fabric, etc,

    Big smoking binge the other side of the wall last pm, still easily noticeable this am. Sib has pulled his usual prank of leaving all the doors open when he was cooking fish, so its floating all over as well.

    Went into the spare room to do my workouts earlier, it stinks of both fish and what ever plant based option they choose yesterday!!!!

    Ta2 the smell of that stuff coming out of the letter box as well.

    When getting to/from a medical appointment takes 10 times longer than the medical appointment.

    Out for a meal later but as part of our group a person who between dietary requirements and general drama.. comfort (phantom draughts) or it being too hot or too cold, ohhh and also trying to ask staff seventeen questions whilst ordering… “sorry the steak with mixed vegetables, what mixed veg ? does that come with chips ? Ok, do the chips come on the side ? And the veg ? “ basically loads of pointless stuff, annoying us and staff.

    order whatever you want to eat, it comes on a plate or in a bowl, some in side dishes it really doesn’t matter.. “can I have the sauce on the side ? ” will be another one, the rest of us not interested about the logistical presentation or delivery of our food.. as long as my food is tasty and enough of it, I’m good.
