    Parked my car in an almost empty car park yesterday. When I came back to it, someone had parked so close to my car door that I had real difficulty trying to get in to my car. There were lots of empty spaces all around the car park. What is it with these brain dead unaware people…..they are everywhere.

    That happened me too, I passed the braindead bint as I was walking back to my car. Could barely open the door and had to climb in from the passenger side. If I can, I always try cover the driver's side, park it leaving some room against a wall or in the end space, beside a disabled space or another car. The car being the last option as they can pull out and somebody else can pull in badly and block you.

    One thing that puzzled me about the stupid cow who blocked me is that she had a passenger with her. It wasn't possible for the passenger to get out of such a small space, she must have let her out before she backed in right against my door which was weird because there was no car on the other side of her but she still came over my line.

    A trivial annoyance from the other day: I heard my colleague talking to somebody outside the door, and when he came in I asked (nosily) who he was talking too. He said "That was Tay-Tay".

    I had forgotten that Tay-Tay was one of Taylor Swift's nicknames and only knew the surname of the person my colleague was talking to. Apparently her first name is Taylor!! 🙄

    Cramped restaurant seating.

    When you are sitting closer to the stranger on your left or right than you are to your dining companion across the table.

    One theory I have is that it is a poor driver \ someone with not great eyesight and uses a vehicle to orient themselves for parking as they can't use the lines…

    What complete and utter muppet thought that putting an I as the second digit of a Medical Card # was a bright idea??? Far too easy to confuse that with a 1!!!

    May their pillows always be warm and their socks always wet!

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    My PPS number ends with an O, not a 0. Since the rest are numbers, I just have to remember that there has to be a letter in it.

    When you do a search on Amazon and you get halfway through typing the text and Amazon has filled it in for you with name of the exact item you want.

    You think great they must have those.

    Then you click the magnifying glass and find they don't have them at all.

    I remember watching a programme a few years ago where the chap holding the microphone asked a elderly man for his thoughts on influencers. The man replied, "I don't know much about it, but I hear they're working on a vaccine." Best. Line. Ever.

    All the streamers do the same thing - auto-complete the name of the film you're looking for, only to then go "No, we don't have that, but here are some 'similar' titles nobody has ever heard of or seen..."

    Hoped to have a catch-up with a fellow insomniac acquaintance over WhatsApp but they’ve developed an addiction to tiktok or probably an obsession, now 1.22am and since I’m guessing about 10.15pm they’ve been on a live….just them and a friend talking to one another about the most random and mundane stuff. Would you not WhatsApp or phone a person to do that ? As opposed to just sending it out there over tiktok ?

    TikTok is where people post shite. So it's appropriate. And that shite consumes huge amounts of energy and resources. We are honestly the biggest collection of wasteful and entitled bullshit artists in history. Not really a TA, but you got me started. 😁

    that on the Boots website click on the relevant product page and some products have the option for you to click ‘check in store’….. to view stock levels and availability in local stores… yet lots of others including the nail care kit I’m looking for don’t have that option….why do some products have and others not ? Surely every item in their stock is electronically inventoried….

    Bit of an effort to get to my local boots and they ain’t that quick to answer the phone.

    The lazy effer of a yodel driver who leaves my package outside and doesn't even knock on the door because I get him to lift it into my hall . He would want to check next time that there's no nails that'll give him a flat tyre 🤬

    SSorry for posting again but I'm watching The Tournament and there's a contestant called McKenna as a first name , and everytime the host says his name I look up.

    Don't name your children with surnames as a first name !

    I read a theory in the States that happened a lot as a way of 'preserving' the family name of the mother so you see what are Irish surnames popping up as firstnames there.

    Ryan, Murphy, McKenzie, Murray...

    They're worse in the US and Down Under, for that sort of thing (my knowledge is entirely TV and film-based, so I'm sure it's accurate 😁).

    I wonder did it start as a way of naming children after their ancestors... I mean, O' and Mac and the rest mean 'child of' whatever, so O'Connor must mean that one of the ancestors's first name must've been Connor. Oh, I don't know, I'm off on one of my tangents, as usual.

    In the UK they just make them double barreled names and I know that really TA's some people :-)

    Always wondered what happened when a double barrelled named person marries another double barrelled named person?

    Do they become a mad 4 surname person?
