    Sorry @kneemos

    Read younger instead of older.

    Not sure how. Maybe I'm going crazy..

    Yes, that's probably it.

    People who "attend" remote video meetings year after year, and never contribute anything.

    When all the "flavour" in your pot noodle is in one semi dissolved gloopy mass on the bottom of the pot.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Watching the pennies time of the month, so I bought the 8 Kit Kat 2 finger multipack. The only one that appealed was a mocha(love mocha)

    Can feel the caffeine kicking in now, which is surprising as I wouldn't have thought that there would be that much caffeine in it!

    I can feel that mood changing shakiness creeping up on me, so of course, a vital email has arrived(fully expect this to be difficult news), and I know better than to read it, but I doubt I have that much self-control and with the caffeine dragging my mood, that would be such a bad idea.

    Ta'ed Ive made such bad decisions on this whole situation, and it will nag me all night.

    If this comes to Ireland I'm sure it will become a TA.

    In a Lidl in the UK and they had 12 self service checkouts. So far so good and easy enough to operate. Then I pick up my shopping and head for the exit only to be confronted by a barrier with a note saying something like, to get out please scan your receipt. ffs if I'd known I wouldn't have dropped the receipt in the bottom of the carrier. And anyway I've paid, why should I scan anything to get out?

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    It's already a thing in Ireland. And also an increasing number of duty frees. You've paid for your stuff, but clearly enough people don't that this is necessary.

    Just realised that this sounds like I'm going against the TA, I'm not! But it is a thing at some Tesco Scan As You Shops and also in Lidl in Drumcondra. Elsewhere too, probably.

    Yes also in self-checkouts in Penneys as well. TA that the only time I was at a Lidl (Aungier St, Dublin) with the scan-to-leave thing I was scanning the right part of the receipt against something that was not, in fact, the scanner. For a good while, morto.

    Somewhat related to yesterday's TA, people who spend their entire bus commute on the phone. I can't think of anyone I'd chat to on the phone for that length.

    My sister was away with a friend of hers for a few days recently and said the friend and her husband rang eachother five or six times a day. I don't get that. I don't think I've rang my other half five or six times in the entire 3.5 years we've been together.

    When people think your day off work means you have spare time to do their odd jobs.

    People who ring you and say 'what are you doing this Saturday' You know you are about to be stuck with some unpaid crappy task. It is never an invite to lunch or what have you. 🙄

    Probably calling to make sure the other half isn't cheating.

    Anyway ... If it's true love you just use telepathy. 😁

    someone doing work here damaged a light fitting. When it was highlighted they got all irritable and defensive. “The light shade you have is too heavy”….right… the same light shade is there from about 15 years ago…so it must be a great coincidence that it just broke when you were going ape with a hammer near it..kept denying it but committed to fixing it. Checked earlier, most half arsed ‘repair’ effort… so another thing for my ‘to do’ list…

    Effing 48 "customer service"… they must be getting their agents from Ryanair rejects. They just closed a ticket I had still open with them since mid-May. They were due to check historic data for me, now I got a notification saying they closed it because I don't have an active membership. I DID WHEN I LOGGED THE QUERY, DAMN IT!

    Time to put childish things aside.


    Pink pony club is stuck on repeat in my head and not even LGBTQIA+.

    You can fix that by replacing it with "Tequila!", "Mah-nah mah-nah" or "Baby Shark". You're welcome.

    Windows holding handles on files or folders preventing editing or moving despite no obvious application or console, terminal being open anywhere.

    I shouldn't have to install something like powertoys to "unlock" files

    an elderly aunt who just turned 88 has gone into a care home. The home is in the middle of nowhere, in the countryside on the outskirts of Dublin and absolutely miles from anyone. She went there as an old pal is in there. Not on anyone’s bus route and with all her siblings due to their age really now only driving short distances it’s a bit much to be expecting the likes of my folks to be driving about 35 minutes each way to visit on country roads especially when winter hits… it would be for most about €50 return in a taxi before tips.
