    Hopefully this will unbork the thread?

    People who allow their bushes / trees to grow substantially outside their property line over their walls partially blocking the pathway for pedestrians…. I’ve noticed numerous ones on my walking route, about five, two of which are particularly bad. In those two examples if you were a wheelchair user you’d have to go out on the road to get past. Pedestrians now have to turn sidewards in two cases. It can’t be ‘unnoticed’… by property owners / tenants… as they’ll pass the outside of their property numerous times a week. I see hedge trimmers can be got for about €70 in screwfix. So what gives ?

    First I will declare that I am a smoker BUT I cannot get over people vaping, as a smoker I'm very conscious of never getting smoke on/near someone - vapers and their bubblegum gaseous plague will stand on top of you. IT IS NOT OK

    I am thinking of buying something but the reviews have turned my head. Half of them say this is great I have used it for years with no problems. The other half say it is absolute rubbish that will break before you get it out of the box.

    How can this be?!

    nothing wrong with being a smoker. All my family (including me) smoke. Not in massive quantities due to restrictions but get through five or six cigarettes per day.

    my TA is people who continually say “I’m not good with technology”. And when you try & help them or show them something, they either won’t listen or refuse the assistance.

    Did the reviews used to be good and are now crap? Maybe they switched to cheaper less reliable components.

    Bad batch?

    Made in different countries/factories/etc? What are the dates of the reviews?



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 79,076 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    Or when they don't know the first thing about it but have the gall to tell you you're doing it wrong.

    We have this in our estate, worst of all are the briars growing out onto the path! I casually asked the tenants if it bothered them, given the potential legal issues. Told me their solicitor advised to leave it alone once they can prove they brought it to the landlord's attention. Also, the Landlord could sue them for vandalism if they trimmed it themselves.

    Ta the legal system is such a sh8t show in Ireland.

    Briars are dangerous at eye height.

    With the heat and wet we're having hedging etc can explode out in growth.

    I notice a lot of people don't actually walk anywhere so they don't notice any issues. Glass, briars, dog **** etc outside their own houses for weeks, even months.

    Also, people are so obsessed with their phones and online stuff, they don't notice the real world at all.

    Vapers who "discreetly" use their devices in the pub or worse still the cinema and the whole place is infected with competing sickly sweet stenches.

    They are what I imagine the scent of unicorn farts to smell of, it's the furthest thing from discreet or funny 🤬

    I'm off work today so I was home when the postman came. In fact I was in the garden just about to head out, so he handed an envelope to me.

    It had was an official looking envelope so I thought I knew what it was. About 10 minutes later, I opened it, only to realise that it wasn't for me. It was a letter from a bank telling their customer that her savings scheme had matured. (I just glanced at it but saw that much information).

    Obviously I'm annoyed with myself for opening it without checking it was for me, but I'm more annoyed at the postman for giving it to me. The only two things that the address had in common with mine was the town and the 2-digit house number. Our addresses didn't even share any words like Park or Road or Drive, or any local references.

    And the postman was gone by the time I realised the mistake so I'll have to 'deal' with it now. 🙄

    We all need to carry a bottle of Estée Lauder's White Linen with us and use it as pepper spray against these people. It starts off by smelling nice, but then the back of your nose and throat starts burning and you start gasping for air and you keep smelling it for days afterwards, like a bad earworm but for your nose. I don't know how that stuff is legally on sale, tbh.

    The amount of people, mostly Americans, posting videos of themselves having a 'meltdown' usually in their car.

    A commentator was rightfully saying that a true meltdown will happen without warning, you will not have a chance to set up your phone perfectly to record yourself, you would not even think of your phone.

    These are not meltdowns they are adult tantrums thrown by attention seekers.

    The amount of scammers on social media pages looking to "resell concert tickets"



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,117 ✭✭✭Patrick2010


    Thats an awkward one, I think the only you can do is sellotape it and pop it back in the postbox.

    The one that ta's me is at eye height and catches small kids on the legs if they in a buggy, ime a briar has to be let go a long time before it gets to be that height and have a family on the way up. I just don't get it! its easier to not cut a briar than handle a damages claim I would think.

    TA - I must be mad.

    I carry secateurs when I take the dog out for a walk and cut any brambles that are sticking out into the road.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Last week I emailed some photos to the family solicitor, I mentioned that I was sending these in two messages( as it always seemed to bounce if I put more than 3 in each message)

    Meeting this am he says that he only got one and if I had(even though I wasn't there) anymore! 😡 knowing the collection of dopes going to the meeting I put the photos on a stick and sent it with two separated individuals'. Of course neither of them remembered that had the photos on the sticks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Now the whole process is held up over a week for a letter he could have gotten off this pm ahead of him going on hols!

    Another ta in this is how forgiving they are of the solicitor who in the week's gap didn't bother his ass to sent a message back and ask for the missing photos!

    👿
