    Sitting in the canteen with work colleagues who only talk about GAA when i have no interest in same…..

    Most of the ticket machines in Connolly Station are fcuked and Irish Rail don’t seem to give a sh!t. Also I’m sitting beside an apple muncher on the train and the sound of him is playing merry Hell with my misophonia 😖

    I am on a DART to Howth and there's a shameless farter. He keeps lifting his arse off the seat to fart and then smiles. The stink is awful. Rotten eggs. An inspector got on and he flashed a social welfare pass so I'd say he's handicapped. Definitely not normal.

    Radio presenters who shorten the name of bands to sound cool. I listen to a UK based station that plays rock/guitar music and one particular DJ drives me soft

    The Libertines - The Libs, Blink 182 - Blink, Arctic Monkeys - Arctics, Stereophonics - Phonics, Manic Street Preachers - The Manics…..

    Feck away off with that shite

    Maybe it's not a secret but the big couriers like UPS/FedEx seem to deliberately hang on to parcels if the sender doesn't pony up for a faster delivery.

    I'm waiting on a parcel that left Germany on Monday morning, left France on Monday evening to somewhere unknown and won't be delivered until tomorrow.

    Have an order from AliExpress awaiting flight for a month.

    Don't think it's coming.

    i think 'the manics' is fairly common parlance?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,937 ✭✭✭statto25


    It prob is. I think when it's thrown in with "Blink" instead of "Blink 182" I lose a bit or perspective

    People who have jokey or nerdy type email handles from their younger days who then go on to use them for job interviews and the like.

    When it's a beautiful day outside and you are inside with work systems for company and faceless people from all over the world all working on "tickets".

    I've always had an issue with the tone and timbre of voices. I have on more than one occasion left groups that had predominantly cork/kerry accents( nails on a chalkboard to me)

    Today, I was lucky enough to get a call returned from a healthcare provider about an appointment I requested. The person speaking had one of those screechy Northern Donegal accents and spoke quite quickly. Asking rapid-fire questions, I had no answer for as I didn't expect anything other than an email back with a designated time.

    That's just how I am anyway, and now with a stressful day ahead of me, I have a pounding heart bc of the pace they were speaking at! ta

    Similarly I can't stand when big companies hire people with a very limited grasp of english and very strong accents to man the phones.

    An Indian woman rang the other day, I could barely understand her, she could barely understand me. It turns what should be a brief phonecall into an absolute slog.

    I have an AliExp item allegedly arrived in Dublin airport on April 28, no further movement since. Seller wants me to close dispute and wait another 15 days. TA, but I'm having fun annoying him. I've asked 3 times for a refund, he's got excuses about weather, shipping, customs. Gimme the money you tw*t

    i recently had a phone call with a woman from derry, but based in london. no issue for me, my dad is from inishowen so the accent posed me no problem. but she was telling me she's been told her accent is 'harsh'; to my ears the accent is anything but harsh, it's a nice musical one.

    maybe londoners hear belfast accents the same way they hear derry accents?

    Some dodgy sellers on AliExpress. Got an air fryer that claimed to be 8 litre,but was more like 5. Put up a review "this is 5 litres. Got removed. Only 60 quid though,so no real complaints.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,481 ✭✭✭Princess Calla


    Cracker of a day. Laundry basket over flowing.

    Next door neighbours are getting building work done. Dust everywhere so zero point hanging out the washing.

    Also due to noise can't sit out.

    Part of the package of suburban living!

    TA at article in the Journal yesterday, where the headline was "Elon Musk AI chat-bot deletes pro Hitler remarks" but when you read the article, the first line after says "Chat-Bot makes pro-Hitler remarks and someone had to delete them" ….. absolutely not the same thing!

    double TA that when I saw the article a few hours later the headline was changed so something more accurate and i didnt get a chance to complain in writing to the author!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,498 ✭✭✭Bredabe


    WTF If you are in a tourist based city and see a person in a uniform running towards a bus, why do you stand in the way like this something you have never seen before?, shift your ass first and then muse on where to go for lunch/walk/coffee etc.

    people who inch forward in their cars while waiting at red lights. what do they gain, except to often cross into the advance stop box, or the pedestrian crossing? they gain no extra time, and it's just a little extra wear on their clutch (for those cars with clutches).

    Got a bit too much sun yesterday so have to stay out of it all day today. Really annoyed with myself, I had cream on but I just stayed out too long.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,146 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 15,112 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    The former. I don't like ice cream 🙈

    The endless advice and warnings about how to cope with a few days of good weather.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,760 ✭✭✭The Continental Op


    The warnings are a TA but my TA would be that there are people that need it. So what I'm saying is its TAing to know that are people that are so stupid that then need advice and warnings about how to cope with a few days of good weather.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Fancied some Marabou chocolate and found a site but it's €8 post and packaging. That's a bit steep for a few packets of sweets. But I do want them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 15,112 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    I just spent the last 15 minutes clambering over various kitchen table and countertops with a child's fishing net trying to catch and release a bee that was just going from one of our Velux windows to the other. Would you not just fly out one of the other 17 open windows and doors in the house, dude???

    Americans will go to any length to avoid using metric...except...when they are talking about illegal drugs and the smuggling thereof.
