    If there's two possible ways to try plugging a cable into a socket it takes a minimum of three attempts.

    Whys it always that last, hidden screw thats determined not to come out?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,221 ✭✭✭The Continental Op


    With nearly all modern electronic stuff being held together with very few screws and a mass of easily damaged clips its worse when you start forcing what you think is held together by a plastic clip only to find its actually still held together by a screw - hopefully before you break it.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    My next door neighbour's new 500000w gate lights. He needs them in case he can't find his house I suppose. I keep my blinds closed and listen out for any jets trying to land.

    The way you occasionally get a sliced pan with a hole in it near the crust for a few slices.

    Not off-putting, I'm still eating it, but it's not a full slice and slightly annoying.

    Because I usually use sliced pan for toast it is annoying because the crust above the bubble burns - or you trim it and removal from the toaster can get complimented

    Also the hole is a trap for butter or any spread you put on the toast.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    I think a spider has laid eggs in my van, though I don't know how as I don't think it's spider season. Over the past two days I've found five baby spiders dangling from something or other in the cab.

    All of them were gently removed and sent on their way with a packed lunch, but a couple of hours later, there's another one. Van is spotless clean so I've no idea where they're coming from.

    Spider-Van

    Just googled and it's actually a thing ...

    Haha I was actually singing spider van to myself on the way home 😁

    Had a Drs appointment at 2.30pm. Got a call at 2pm to say Dr was sick and cancelled.

    Thought it was bad form I wasn't told earlier. I was on the bus on the way.

    Raisins in muesli. Raisins in anything…full stop. They're rotten. Fruit is meant to be eaten fresh, not dried and shriveled up into what looks like rabbit droppings. Raisins, dates, prunes, sultanas, dried banana, etc, they're all manky.

    I buy muesli the odd time, but I've to sift through it when I pour a bowl, to pick out the raisins before I can eat it. Once they're out, it's quite nice. But, it's partially paying for something that's a nuisance, and I end up throwing out to the birds.

    Christmas cake, Christmas pudding, maltana, all that kind of $#1#€ is a crime against nature.

    I never use the Sun website but today a link I clicked on brought me to the site. The pr1cks wanted me to pay to opt out of data collection and tracking.

    The sooner the DPC closes that loophole the better. 😡

    PM me your address. I've got something to send you.

    Paywalls in general are a TA. It is getting harder and harder to find an online article you can actually read. A rag like the Sun should be paying us to read it.

    The number of times I put tissues through the wash makes it seem like I'm doing it on purpose. But I'm just lazy and don't check pockets.

    OR the hole in big enough to allow butter or worse still jam to run down onto your fingers.

    An absolutely cringeworthy TikTok dance coming up on my TikTok feed showing these goons outside a van dancing to that “It’s my anxiety “ song. A trivial annoyance I know, but that type of brain dead drivel gets my blood temperature rising.

    Tired and stressed from having spent the past handful of nights moving my bed around to avoid the "aroma" coming in the window and through the floor from next door.

    I was too hot because my heart was beating so fast from stress, so I got up and opened the window. The usual(and cause of the heart thing) burning doc leaf with an undertone of old grease aroma flows in, so I close that and open the door, cooking smells assault me from the stairs.

    So 6.15am I'm in my bed being assaulted by weed and cooking smells emanating from parties who know I hate both aroma's.

    And now we have grass pollen being liberated by multiple grass cutters(on a weekday??!)

    my Dad was asked not to engage a family member his side regarding sorting a basic legal issue. But, as he puts great value in family he wanted them to have the work..

    14 months after their meeting, no updates & they ignore his calls. That family have always been fast looking for favours, but when one time comes to prioritise him..he’s left waiting over a year and blanked. Old saying, ‘Favours are often fast forgotten’..dozens and dozens have been, he needs to learn that though, quickly..especially with this lot.

    Is this a house share situation or is it the house next door?

    Having unannounced visitors, especially with the added bonus of them bringing their children.

    Even more annoying when I've literally just gone to bed for a post-work nap.

    Definitely need at least 24 hours notice for something like that.

    TA that every time I emerge from the Dublin port tunnel, even on a grey day like today, I react like a mogwai in front of a strobe light at a rave.

    It's not even that dark in the tunnel!

    Haaaaa I'm remembering that phrase!.

    My TA is my mostly eradicated habit of scribbling notes on bits of paper. I'll transfer that to my calendar when I get a chance I think. One washing machine cycle later a blob of discoloured muck like marla has me scrambling to remember who, let alone what, it was in connection with
