Hope it's okay to start the new thread (not sure if mods have to do it).

I posted this right at the end of the last thread so just carrying it over as it has me driven demented.

I have a question on this subject.

Lime/lemon, roll with palm of your hand 3-4 times, pop in microwave for 20 seconds and squeeze............its free.

You'd think they'd have more pressing issues to get to the core of.

I can't change the music on my touchscreen when wearing gloves but put the ipod into my pocket and it becomes super sensitive. It's like I have a little leprechaun living in it randomly changing the music.

And there I was in Easons the other day looking at a pair of touchscreen gloves for €7 and thinking "Who the fcuk is going to buy those?"...

Shows how much I know

I think I've seen your husband a few times. Is he the bald fella who keeps hitting his head off the glass in the frozen food section while talking on the phone?

Nope, he still has a full head of hair, despite the stress of living with me:D

When my husband phones me from the supermarket to ask me what brand of something on the shopping list, we buy, especially if it's something we've bought every week for years. This is what happens when you are the person who does most of the grocery shopping.

Just an idea, but perhaps a polite request to the young lady and maybe she would turn it down a notch.....

News reports that mention when a person was 'fatally injured'.
It seems like an easier way to say killed / died, it lessons the impact.
Seems to be used a lot in stats / reports also.

Last week on the news, the report went " The victim, who lived in a detached house, was blah blah", WTF is that about

Killed to death would be more clear.

People who aren't American saying "-een" instead of "-ing" or "-in' ".

People who rather than tell you "I'm not doing great today actually", decide to say "I'm okay...", and if you don't realise that that means "Pander after me to find out what's wrong", they get angry at you. WTF you said you were okay, I'm not a mind reader.

My friend, for as long as I've known her, was called, lets say Mary. Now all of a sudden it has turned to a double barrel name! When booking anything its Mary-Louise! I think she thinks it makes her more sophisticated. Annoys me so much especially when I get through to her voice mail. 'hi, you're through to Mary- Louise...'

Some people have poor vision. Maybe they just make out a couple of letters and have a guess.

This kind of half annoys me/half cracks me up. When someone comes on Boards and posts a fairly serious problem they're having, eg 'I'm in debt up to my eyeballs, the bank are threatening to repossess the house and I only have €20 to last me for the next two weeks.'

In between all the well thought-out advice, there's usually at least one person who comes along and says something like 'god OP, thanks for giving me some perspective. I've been complaining because we've had to start buying own brand products' and then goes merrily on their way.

I'm sure it's well-meant and I'm probably guilty of it myself at times, but the sheer insensitivity of it is sometimes unintentionally hilarious.

Bad drivers. I was on the bus the other day and this girl was talking about penalty points on her licence. Said she got penalty points for speeding and the reason she didn't see the speed trap van was that she was too busy talking on her phone!

When you've had a big argument with your other half and he/she is more than willing to make up and forget about it but your mood doesn't change that quickly and so you simmer all day.
I'm so guilty of this.

Had a major argument with other half this morning. He stormed off, but came back and apologised and said "Let's forget it" and even though I wanted to, I really did, I just couldn't switch my mood like that.

It's so irritating!

I hate when I swallow my pride and apologise for being a bitch even when it may not actually be my fault and then he keeps being off with me, despite saying he's fine. I know its difficult to be all sweetness and light when there's still a bit of tension there but the passive aggressive "no I'm fine" and one word answers drives me insane! Either get over it or have it out properly with a discussion/ fight and clear the air! But now I feel bad for getting annoyed at him for it since you say you can't help it
