    I hate having to ask to use toilets in filling stations. All because certain people can't behave themselves using a fcukin toilet.

    On toilet talk; supermarkets. You spend an absolute fortune in them and they don't even provide a toilet for you.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,363 ✭✭✭The Continental Op


    Worse still some supermarkets that did have toilets close them off.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    I go to an underground carpark sometimes with sets of 3 spaces and two columns either side. What with the columns you cannot easily fit 3 cars in (maybe very small ones) but you can fit 2 in if one goes on either side.

    This is what is boils my kettle, every time I go in, ninnies have parked in the middle space meaning nobody else can fit in. They are effectively halving the capacity of the carpark with their stupidity.

    The width of parking spaces in general. Just too narrow. Suppose the narrower they are the more cars and more spenders they can in.

    I always think that Dairy Milk ad at the filling station is kinda creepy and they showed it twice at the break in the hurling.

    There is not a set, standard size. I am certain some carparks have bigger spaces, Lidl for example. I must start bringing my tape around with me and become a parking space nerd 😂

    The garish red text auto-inserted on editing a post annoys me.

    I've just come from ALDI, I only go infrequently for certain items so stocked up on ambient items. I have a look at the leaflet for next week and the special offer wine of the week is the OH's favourite supermarket wine.

    Mahon Point is like that, I won't park in them, even if 2 sensible drivers opt for the outside spaces some dipstick will come along and squeeze into the middle.

    Spaces are generally small in Dunnes etc. but I've noticed some new Volvo that's absolutely huge and seems to take up at least 2 spaces everywhere.

    TA I think I've developed hayfever in my old age, never had it before but think that's what I have for the last few days...ffs what else comes with old age, I'm sick of it.😁

    I actually like that ad. It's a bit different. The dad buying his daughter a bar of chocolate has a touch of tenderness about it. No drama or over the top goings-on, just a nice little father daughter moment.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,045 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    There is a standard size that's probably not changed since the 60s, but some newer supermarkets have spaces with hatched areas between the spaces reserved for mother and child and disabled.

    Would something like this help you (not necessarily this app specifically, it's just the first I came across)?

    I can find out via a txt from a courier, when I’m to expect a delivery. When I contact the actual retailer on Friday they are beyond fûcking useless, clueless and apathetic…. I’ve just given them €200 euros and their response is along the lines of…

    It literally just happened to me there. 2 aul wans talking pure $H1T€ at the till. I made an audible tut. Nothing. I left the shop, and the lady comes out a few minutes later and gets into her British regged Land Rover. She mustn't have a care, as she's still sitting there 5 minutes later.

    Channelling my mother, I married some sauce bottles to make space on the shelves in the fridge.

    I was completely oblivious to the fact that I was putting Heinz salad cream 🤮 into an almost empty Chef one,💓 creating, imo, an inedible salad cream sludge.

    I forgot that it took me weeks to find Chef in shops in the first place, and now I have to start all over again!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just feeling on a downer today. So much so that I would just love to be able to do this…without the poor personal hygiene practices of course.

    Got an email from sky saying that some of the 215 Live Premier League games on Sky Sports next season will only be available on the red button and I need to upgrade to Sky Q to be able to access the red button content.

    Why are non Sky Q Box users not allowed the red button, it exists on TNT sport yet for some reason sky have taken it away.I can't risk getting Sky Q because my broadband is not 100% reliable like satellite is.

    Why do any need to be behind the red button, they have about 8 or 9 different channels, could they use one of them for these live games without needing the red button option.

    Not sure why sky wan't to try and force people in getting Sky Q there can't be much benefit to them in people holding onto their old boxes for as long as possible as it's free upgrade to the sky Q box that I've been called about a few times.

    High blood pressure warning again from the GP. When she asked if I'd been stressed recently I had to laugh at her. Between my grandmother dying and a new software system that I'm responsible for in work, my stress levels are through the roof this past month. I need about 6 weeks to go hide in a cave to get over it.

    Bad drivers - there's a lot of them on Irish roads….reckless behaviour between speeding, poor road position, not using indicators, driving with phone in hand - its something i see multiple times daily.

    trying to make up my mind what to make for lunch… have a pasta bake thing but it’s seemingly to be cooked in an oven, at 190° for 7 months or something, and I’m hungry, now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,363 ✭✭✭The Continental Op


    One of my TA's is picking up one of those ready meals in the supermarket and thinking its a 5 minute microwave job.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    I know not everyone will get this, but the post meno anxiety about things that didn't used to bother me much. e.g. got an email yes in response to a question, took me till lunchtime to open it having debated how bad the response could be. I'm wearing myself out with this c$ap.

    I would blame it on the residual 2nd hand pot but the anxiety was here b4 it was. 😯
