    I'd have gone with some sort of shampoo supplement that makes hair shinier and glossier (44.7% of 103 people agree)

    My TA is those paper slips they put on the tray in fast food places. Has anybody ever gone into Burger McBurger shack, looked at the list of available burgers, ordered their preferred burger, received their burger, sat down and picked up their burger only to see the slip of paper advertising burgers and went, oh my god, they sell burgers here!! All while surrounded by pictures of the burger of the day / week / moment.

    Burgers!!

    Seems a pointless waste of paper.

    overly courteous drivers. Especially at 6.20 pm, it’s still rush hour, you don’t need to slow down at every junction and attempt to let every other car attempting to join the main road do so. Periodically is fine, but make fûckin progress. What I experienced, just slightly psycho…. Drive efficiently, make progress and get where you are going without attempting to be the mother theresa of the Dublin 9 roadways, jeeeeez

    When your phone willy-nilly decides to update itself without warning, takes ages, and completely changes the interface that you were so used to.

    who the fúck puts an ice tray back in the freezer, empty ? It’s a warm summer day. It will take about 25 seconds to clean it, refill it, put lid on and return it to the freezer.

    I’ve a box of 24 cokes, I’m thirsty, but they are at room temperature. Which isn’t a great combo.

    The price of water in a petrol station. If you are organised you could get 10 litres plus in a supermarket for the same price as 2l in stations. But if I ever try to quickly nip into a supermarket for a bottle I end up getting stuck behind somebody at the till doing their big shop, and it is lukewarm off the shelf too.

    These RIP social media messages when someone has passed. 3-4 paragraphs in English we can all understand , and then thrown in an Irish phrase/sentence to end it. Either post it in all Irish or just leave it all English. Nobody cares you know all of 5 words of our native tongue.

    So far today, taking the wrap off a ready meal, nuking it for a random amount of time and complaining it didn't taste nice.

    Explaining the theory that if you boil a kettle it takes less time to boil the next time you try.

    Using the domestic paper shredder till it stops working due to overheating, comes back approx. 10 mins later and turn it on again, leaves the room and tells me they are letting it cool down till its ready to work again.

    Bonus on shredder its turning itself on and off again haphazardly!

    Work "colleague" has a massive chip on his shoulder about me for some reason. Called me this morning to just go off at me. I'm getting very close to quitting over this fcuker. Management will do nothing coz it's public sector and you'd need to murder someone to get fired.

    Keep accidentally turning on Gemini and turning off whatever I have on the phone.

    Next time he calls casually tell him that from now on you will be recording all calls between the two of you. You don't have to really, it might be enough to put the wind up him anyway.

    If he runs to the boss to tell them, just say he is talking crap, you never said that.

    people who take non stop personal phone calls at work during critical tasks. Girl is a human life raft for family. Earlier again multiple calls from her OH..their shower stopped working, WTF is she going to do ? has him on speaker, Jesus 👀 If it’s not working you need a plumber / electrician etc…pointless to bombard your other half. Then she starts complaining ..”god he knows I’m in work” so DON’T ANSWER ! focus on your job..?!

    Those drivers who go past the STOP line at traffic lights, only to miss the green arrow (which is now behind them) Twits . . .

    Then the beeping starts, as the drivers behind all point up to the green arrow, go go go, before it goes red again 🙂

    We got a new kitchen installed which is great. But now the robot vacuum thingy gets stuck between one of the cupboard doors and the floor and cant extract himself. Exact same spot every time. All the other doors he can get under with no issue.

    First world problem.

    Hangers, hangers, hangers.

    They are a simple, and quite useful creation and THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO PUT THEM IN A PRESS!

    Nearly pulled down the rail today trying to take out three items for ironing, only to discover that the middle one was the wrong way round. The effort it takes to put something in incorrectly is surely a reason for people to think "Could this be done easier?" F**** sake.

    you'd be amazed (actually you wouldn't) at the number of drivers who don't know what the advance stop box for cyclists is for. the notion that cyclists have a different stop line to them is not something they understand.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,179 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    Or the difference between a green arrow for driving straight only and a green circle to allow straight on and turns.

    Couples shouldn't be allowed in the supermarket together. There should be a staff member at the entrance with a pitchfork to chase one of them off!

    Last night I needed about five seconds to grab a dozen eggs, and had to wait what felt like a month while some couple used the gun to purchase an improbable quantity of eggs, while blocking access to every egg in the place.

    And why do they always seem to take up the maximum amount of space it is possible for two people to take up? And they stop to have discussions! It's groceries - how much discussion can it take! Get your stuff and go....

    Shops which are slow at publicising their special offers. You have new offers on a Thursday how about announcing them before lunchtime?

    People that stand in front of the fridge door for ages just looking. Can't get in and it's rather rude to say excuse me when they're apparently deciding on what they want. Usually do a go around.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,990 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    A variant on that is the person doing their shopping but doing a video call to their partner about what they are buying. "Will I get this?", "Here, I'll zoom in closer to it.". It's most likely to happen in Lidl but not limited to it.

    It does make you wonder sometimes why they have been let out without a carer or responsible adult.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Add to that TA, entire families that do the weekly food shop together - WHY do 4 of you need to be here for this taking up every aisle you walk down?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,453 ✭✭✭The Continental Op


    One of my TA's is that my wife won't let me come shopping with her because I "get in the way".

    Wake me up when it's all over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,243 ✭✭✭Deregos.


    Nicely played 👌

    My wife doesn't want me going shopping with her anymore, as I've a tendency to slip inappropriate items into the basket, just to see her face at the checkout.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 53,016 CMod ✭✭✭✭magicbastarder


    inappropriate? like dildos or porn mags?

    People driving with dogs in their lap. Incredibly stupid and dangerous, and I've seen it twice in the past two days.
