Social Welfare workers.

Some of these are the most detestable people since the f*cking Nazis.

I don't sign on anymore but when I did I distinctly remember feeling as if the people behind the plexi-glass thought that they were superior than the people who they were dealing with.

Being on the Dole isn't nice. You already enter that building with a pretty low self worth, but this is exacerbated by the treatment you're afforded by these miserable f*ckers.

I don't want to tar them all with the same brush, because I've encountered some quite pleasant workers down there, but by and large they're d*ckheads who patently hate their jobs.

I'd say their Christmas party is about as banter-filled as a funeral.

Yeah, we mostly don't have anything to do with them these days, but there've been times when the hubby's work has had him on 3-day weeks now and again. Some of the people working in there have been lovely, just genuine people who understand how life goes now and again, but others have seemed really nasty, and approach the whole thing as if it is their own money, and they can't see how anyone else in the country has a right to a penny of it!

I have been very very fortunate with work and have only ever claimed the JSA for 3 months about 5 years ago so I'm sure this is a rare occurence.
When I went into the office I was very unfamiliar with the process. The woman that dealt with me was very rude in general but everyone has bad days in work.
However, she asked me if I wanted my claim backdated to when I had become unemployed (I had waited about 2 months before signing on in the hope that I would find employment and not need to sign on), I asked her "if that was possible?", probably a little in disbelief that it was possible.
The woman responded "it depends how nice to me you are". A lovely way to carry out someone's job, particularly when the job basically has anyone who meets you at your mercy.

I hate when people comment on match previews with the irritating "COYBIB" or "COYBIG".

Either say something interesting or stop polluting the internet with bland, inane fluff

Daveysil15 · 08-02-2014 11:21AM

People recording everything on a night out. I'm almost afraid to log into facebook in case I see a photo of myself doing something stupid.

eisenberg1 · 08-02-2014 12:27PM

Newsflash: There is a no such thing as a "Hang Sangwich" or a "sammich"

Its a "Ham Sandwich", period.

"Hang" is for wallpaper, paintings or even what happens to "a hoss thief", Never, ever in a sandwich

When people wait until every item of their shopping is scanned through to start looking for their wallet.

Pumpkinseeds · 08-02-2014 12:40PM

Florescent clothing worn by some walkers/runners. I'd understand wearing it if they were living in a badly lit rural area where they have to walk on the road. But Jesus, when these people live in well lit towns and are out and about in broad daylight it's just fricking ridiculous. There was a guy walking towards me yesterday wearing some kind of yellowish green neon coat and I got a headache from walking towards him because the damned coat was so bright.

I can't multitask. It's impossible to scan items and look for my wallet at the same.

Worse are the people at the self-service checkouts who don't "scan and pack" but rather scan all their items first and THEN pack! Scan the bag first, THEN pack as you scan, it'll still weigh the bloody same!

Anyway, what's with that stupid "Tequila" song by Crystal Swing getting stuck in my head since yesterday? I thought it'd be gone by this morning, but nooo, and it's only ever that one stupid line-

"I drink tequila, she drinks tequila...", and I can't remember the rest of it! :mad:

I'm resisting searching for it on YouTube in case someone catches me singing a whole verse and figures "Somethings not right about him!" :pac:

It's almost as if they don't want to be ran over by some oul bat hiding behind a steering wheel.

Go the whole hog, and get the ma in on the act, while the brother ( who make scary eyes at his sister) films the lot:p

They really ARE worse than the Osmonds!

I never thought the sister was much to write home about either in all fairness, like family resemblance is one thing, but she was virtually cloned from her mother, just the hair is a bit longer!

Ahh Jaysus, I'm after remembering that time Bord Failte paid all their expenses for them to appear on the "Ellen" show, and it's coming up to that time of year again when everybodys more Irish than the fcuking Irish! :rolleyes:

deise08 · 08-02-2014 01:28PM

Bord failte paid all their expenses?
Didn't know that.
That's annoying

Vel · 08-02-2014 01:39PM

No matter what day or time I head to the post office to do my once or twice monthly bit of post office related business, there is a gaggle of oul wans ahead of me in the queue who all take an absolute age at the counter, nattering on, pulling out loads of bills to pay €5 off each. There should be a dedicated OAP counter!!

Future is Crystal clear: ‘We’re here for good’

Tourism Ireland forked out for the flights to the US — €3,000 well spent they said. A 30-second ad slot during Ellen’s show would be about $35,000 (€26,000) and the band got nine minutes of airtime.

Isn't it amazing how some people will justify pissing money down the drain?

Vel · 08-02-2014 01:50PM

Going into the toilet in work and someone has just come out of one and are in the process of washing their hands. Cistern is making all sorts of noises and you start trying to detect which once they have just been in so you can avoid it but you can't loiter outside for too long doing sniff test etc. while they are there. Choice hastily made, you sit down, the seat is warm and you realise you've picked the wrong one

Yeah it must be a huge worry to walk on that foot path in broad daylight, I know I'm usely quaking with fear walking on it every day, I really should rush down to Lidl next time they've got the brightest neon horror jackets in, just to be sure:p

Random singing of The Fields of Athenry, on any occasion.
So embarrassing. Always makes me cringe and wanna hide.

Having to wait at the checkout longer than normal as the cadburys creme egg wouldn't scan and checkout girl has to manually type in the bar code.
Wouldn't you think they would have a bar code on a piece of paper for the eggs as this is a common occurrence. :mad:
