    People who just let their dogs bark outside all the time even when they are home. Never tell them to shut the **** up. Are they wearing ear plugs inside or something ?

    TA: Boards has become slow and cumbersome lately, it is taking ages to load a thread and sometimes times out with the Vanilla notice.

    Some fûcknut reported me on TikTok “due to ‘reproduced content’, such as prerecorded or copied content”… No music in the background of my live, only a TV on mute that my camera wasn’t anywhere near being pointed at. My appeal result was available in about 30 seconds and wasn’t approved either.

    TA that my otherwise very lovely chiropodist was talking about a holiday to Wales and said she always finds the weather is a bit better "on the mainland". To be fair, she is from and lives in Northern Ireland but it still rankled!

    changed the bulb in my ceiling light in my bedroom and fukk I’ve no idea what wattage or lumens but looked up at the light and it’s almost making me blind, so so bright…like something out of a set of floodlights at a football ground. 😵😵‍💫. I have a couple of lamps that I mainly use, nice soft relaxing stylish lights but I’m not switching on this eyeball tanning yoke again until I get more bulbs…jeeeez

    The amount of people who get the bus literally one stop. They can't all have hidden mobility issues!

    TA after being TH

    watching a match in the park and got crashed into by some kid on his bike. Im standing up putting a jacket on, notice kid about 11 freewheeling down the path from my left, he’s distracted watching the game, no cursory glances in front. So I shout and stick my hand out to stop impact, fortunately because of this neither of us are hurt aside from his pride and maybe his heart too but jeez look where you’re going. He was apologetic but sooo odd.

    incidentally I’m not standing there he’s crashing into the steel bench behind me which I imagine is quite painful 👀

    Well my package from Dublin arrived today which I'm happy about, but is that acceptable in this day and age that a package from Dublin should take six days to come to Galway. Other times my deliveries have been fairly prompt.

    Has anyone else noticed the difference in Clothes sizes between different brands or even shop. So I would normally wear clothes that are size L so I go to one shop try on a item of clothing like a hoody or sweatshirt and the large size fits nice, I got to another shop again try on a large hoody or sweater and it's too small. Dont get me started on brands especially ones from Asia where size L is comparable to a pre-teen size rather than an adult.

    All too common. If you take outdoor gear the outer jacket I wore out today was a Medium and the Body Warmer I was wearing underneath is and Extra Large, both fit perfectly. I picked up an Extra Large jumper recently that would fit two fat Americans.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    An ad on RTE there a good 30 seconds for ESB…..In fooking Irish…..what is the point, and why are they excluding a large majority people from being able to understand what is being said?

    There seems to be a really unusual uptick in people who talk like Fozzy Bear lately.

    I've nothing against Fozzy, he is actually my second favorite muppet but it sounds weird when real non felt based people sound like him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 15,922 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    People who start a thread and then post the first reply. Just say it in your opening post, ffs. Replying to your own posts is just weird.

    Also, our induction hob. It's so fooking temperamental. Has decided it just won't switch on today, which is a semi-regular occurrence.

    When you come to replace a favorite but worn out item and find its no longer available.

    Have a Trespass 3 in 1 jacket. I normally think Trespass and Mountain Wearhouse stuff is crap but this one seems to be in a different category, its expedition (not casual) quality. I wear it so often its slowly wearing out so stated to look for another thinking that I don't mind paying decent money for a replacement. Can't find anything the same quality and utility anywhere.

    btw in case I need to teach granny to suck eggs a 3 in 1 is a waterproof outer with a fleece jacket zipped inside giving yes that's right 3 options for wearing them ;-)

    Wake me up when it's all over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 15,922 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    I've often gone out and bought another of the same to have in storage if I come across an item I really love, for that very reason - they're generally long gone off the market by the time you need to replace them.

    delivery guy delivering a big BBQ to my neighbour earlier. Obviously a two person job, but he’s is alone. Unloads it on the trucks tail lift. Not a small chap, tall, heavily built but can’t physically manoeuvre the BBQ from the road up onto the path…it’s big, like one of the 60 kilogram jobs, on casters making things harder and the customer has to come out to help, but they both still struggle.

    If they can’t provide a second staff member, why can’t they give the employee a trolley ffs ? Dunno what company it was, there was no livery on the truck but jeez, amateur hour management, wouldn’t like to see the guy struggle but not sure I’d be paying €450 euros for a fancy big BBQ and then needing to help them deliver it to me….

    People who leave the door open or nearly closed. Think nearly closed is worse. Because they nearly made all the effort, only a tiny bit more required.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,331 ✭✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    When something is late so they add more people or more managers. And managers to manage the managers. And the managers realize they've no clue what's going on. So they create tickets. And duplicate tickets.

    Bought myself a fillet steak for dinner and whoever was on the tenderising line at the processing plant when it went past was clearly having a bad day, cause when I took it out of the vacuum pack there to season it, it practically fell apart. It's feckin mangled! More like beef tartare than a steak 🤣

    They way Supermarkets squash multipack bags of crisps on the shelves. They squashed from the front as the person stacking the shelves pushes as many bags in as they can and then they are squashed from the top because the shelves are not tall enough. The really annoying bit is that the bag bursts and a few of the bags inside burst with all the squashing that it ruins the products. Surprised the producers haven't been onto to them about this as it is their product they are ruining. Seen this is Dunnes and Tesco near me.

    Calling 1st May the first day of summer. It’s not.

    The meteorological start of summer in Ireland is 1st June - Met Eireann define summer as June, July and August.
