    Bit difficult to miss if they're right in front of you. You see people desperately trying to avert their eyes. It never looks pretty.

    Just kidding....I agree, especially if you are looking at it first thing in the morning, yuk:D

    As well as been/being confusion. Intellectual laziness that's all it is. There's a homemade sign in a local park that says, "stop dog owners that are dumpin (yes no G) pooh bags, your been videoed" :eek:

    Bastards in petrol stations, who, when they have got to the 19 euro mark, take about 15 mins to click, click, click until they reached 20.07, then decide to do a weeks grocery shopping, while blocking the pump. Pay for your petrol and MOVE YOUR FUUCKING CAR!!!, Then go shopping.

    They were annoying during Xmas not to mind now, along with them stupid antlers out the windows. why would you want your car to be mimicking a reindeer? :confused:

    Miserable ****es!

    It's far better to be conscious of how many litres of fuel you're putting in your vehicle than doing that €10, 20, €40 even effort.

    Reminds me, I used to know exactly how far I would get out of twenty or thirty euros worth of petrol, but never considered the increasing price would impact on that. That twenty euro once got you further than it does now! Always just figured...um....twenty euro is two trips to mammy's and back...until one day I "broke down" in the city centre because, as the helpful taxi driver who stopped to help with jump leads pointed out, "ye've no f*cking juice in her!" :eek::o

    Women that think perfume is some sort of love potion. They apply far too much, and think it's 'alluring'. Moderation please.

    Also, cheap perfume smells......CHEAP. Ugh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,818 ✭✭✭Lyaiera


    That reminds me, I think I dreamt about perfume last night. Spooky.

    While I have sympathy for flood victims , when some of them start with " we got no warning of this , it's a disgrace " , It can be a bit much to take , look you happen to live in a marsh on a flood plain , it's the highest tide ever recorded and you did get warnings , if you bothered to look at the weather forecast , so what did you expect , they're usually mooching for some from of compo, really wears thin sometimes . There was a woman in a poorer part of LImerick om the radio today moaning that all her "tellys and sky boxes " were all wet , that's in the plural , unbelievable !

    I said something like this to the OH at the weekend. They were on giving out about the government and I thought jeeeez I know our government are a shower of gimps, but like, are you reeeeeaaaaally trying to blame them because it rained?? I like to blame them for stuff as much as the next Irish person, but blaming them for rain is a bit much :D

    Opening a new tube of tinfoil and that really REALLY annoying little futile flap of paper which has to be removed to uncoil the roll, taking ridiculous amount of foil with it....very annoying :mad:

    I wish my house had a power shower, our water is heated by immersion so its really crap in freezing weather when you have only enough hot water for something stupid like 2 minutes, brrrrrrr.

    Dreams about winning the lotto.... when even then with the winning ticket in my hand, I convince myself it must be a dream, and I wake up not long after!
    FFS!! I wish my dream-self would embrace the winning feeling and splash out, go nuts on a binge of coke & hookers, flash cars and other mad antics.
