    Just to be clear I thanked the edit not the original post ;-)

    Just the sort of thing I'd do. TA in a similar vein recently. Couldn't understand why it was pouring with rain yet the forecast said it should be dry all day. When I doubled checked my location was set to somewhere in the Leitrim rather than Waterford.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    That people in work seemed to have only realised today that Monday is a Bank Holiday, and are absolutely slamming me with "urgent" requests.

    My boss says "unelse" instead of 'unless'. It makes my eye twitch every time.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,053 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    Everything is always urgent. I just get one of my many managers to tell me which task I need to do now.

    Often it's not urgent at all. Only that it might affect their bonus. So, it's urgent for them.

    Ask them: "Is this REALLY urgent or is it ACTUALLY just important?"

    UK companies only delighted to sell you the main product for hundreds of pounds but don't want to know when it comes to parts, service, support. "Sorry… Ireland, where's that?"

    That after high profile criminal cases, a significant subset of randomers on Boards remain fully convinced that they know better than the jury, despite not having had the benefit of the weeks of testimony, evidence and legal argument that the jurors did 🙄

    The fugly laurel hedge has gotten huge recently. Hate it and hate trimming it.

    Virgin Media Twos LOI co commentator..Vinny Perth… the actual commentator can’t get a word in.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,604 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    On the subject, LOI refs.

    But it's not a trivial annoyance, it's a major one for me

    A jackass here visiting my neighbour and has the car sticking out from their drive where there are two other cars already and this visitors car is sticking out blocking the entirety of the footpath…. If you have a wheelchair, mobility aid or even pushing a stroller you’d need to get out onto the road to pass. Cars here and everywhere park on roadways, why this gimp needs to have it sticking out across a path…plain weird just how bad driving / parking is.

    Getting emails from numerous companies at this time of the month entitled, "it's payday, time to treat yourself".

    Thanks, but no thanks. Ive got better things to spend my money on.

    Pity your inbox is bombarded with so much marketing emails now.

    Getting charged the more expensive 'skin fade' rate in the barbers when I asked for a blade zero on the sides but never specifically requested a fade.

    It's a mighty haircut, one you can set your watch to, but €3 is €3.

    talking with my parents about a neighbour who died about 9 years ago. None of us could recall his wife’s name so we looked up rip,ie… to see if she was mentioned in his listing but there isn’t a mention of the fûcker dying.. he’s definitely brown bread but NO mention anywhere, weird.

    I was queuing in a Londis yesterday, and a woman in her 30's was at the checkout, she had her couple of items scanned by the assistant, then went to the office license section, grabbed a bottle of wine, brought it back to the till, went to the ice-cream freezer, picked up a couple of Cornetto's, came back, proceeded to pick a couple of other things from the display at the front.

    WTF? Don't queue up unless you're ready to pay. This is all one transaction, making everyone else wait on her ladyship. It's then I noticed that she had her phone balanced between her head and her ear the whole time, having a conversation as well. SMH. So inconsiderate.

    Collected shoe from cobbler yesterday. I should have brought the two shoes in. This heel is different. I sound ridiculous walking in them



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,053 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    Checking the weather forecast to see what the % chance of rain is for the day and what time might be a good time to go outside. FFS, hope we are not back to this **** for the summer.

    That must be Nigel with the brie...


    Whenever I buy new shoes one of them always fits like a glove and the other is an instrument of torture. My trotters must be different.

    My parents next door neighbour, an otherwise nice chap, late 30s or early 40s, gets shirty if you park outside his house (suburban cul de sac in Dublin, each house has a driveway but people regularly park on the road); but thinks nothing of parking his car at the end of his driveway, completely blocking the footpath; and the irony is he and his wife have young kids, one still in a buggy.

    If you want to feel old: Batman Begins was released 20 years ago.

    When you're bringing the trolley back to get your €2 back and someone is waiting there saying "Can I take that? There you go" and hands you €1 (the trolley takes both coins). It feels churlish to refuse and say "You're ok. I'll put it back myself."



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,604 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    2p sterling coins work too, chance to make yourself 98c each time!

    I heard Karl Mullan saying he uses a house key in the slot. I keep forgetting to try it.
