    Yey my parcel is in Athlone, no idea when it's going to arrive in Clare though. Thought the point of tracking is so that you know when the bloody thing will arrive. It didn't even update Friday nights info until lunchtime today.

    Sounds like It would have been quicker by Pigeon. :D

    Thanks. I had buried the memory of that piece of sh*t very, very deep in my subconcious. You've made me relive the worst part of my childhood :eek:


    :p


    Sorry but, I yam wot I yam.:D (dreadful stuff alright)

    The phrase "style with"

    eg "I'm going to style this dress with those heels"

    Country dogs!
    or should I say stupid country dog owners.
    A little **** ran out in front of me to chase my car. Had to slam on brakes cos I couldn't see where he went, then just see him tottling back to his drive in rear view mirror to lie in wait for next car. Just as well there wasn't another car coming!

    Never heard of that expression. Are they calling themselves a wnker? That'd be funny :)

    Yeah but they think they're great because of it, it's just a form of bragging really. Mainly young girls who are complete airheads who say it

    never being able to get the last bit of soap out of a liquid soap dispenser - you think the manufacturers would make the pipe reach into one of the corners?

    I find nothing is quite so annoying as having someone carry on talking while you're trying to interrupt.

    Went to the cinema at 9pm, peed before I left the house, once during the movie, once after, and 6 times since I got home!!!

    I've only had 1 bottle of juice, 1 coffee and 1 bottle of water today. Every time I get back into bed I need to pee again!!

    I'm genuinely considering just wetting the bed at this stage, but then ill get cold and uncomfortable :( going again now. That's 7 times since 11.30. This is just taking the .....mickey.

    Walking to work because you didnt find change/thought it would be quicker/wanted to be healthy (pffffft) and seeing all the fat fuucks sailing past you on the bus as you sweat and beat your way through the city :(

    Being stuck on the bus because you found change/thought it would be quicker/couldnt give a sh1t about being healthy (pfffffffft) and seeing all the healthy fuucks jogging/skipping/dancing to work as you sit and vegetate in traffic :(

    When people with long usernames are the last people to post in a thread, so the formatting in the forum gets all messed up. Ye know who ye are.

    You need the "Pisspants" from JML, available in Woodie's , Heatons, and B&Q.

    They are waterproof, and you just pee to hearts content, and when they are full (holds approx five litres) and it starts to slosh around, there is a little tap at the ankle and you just drain it in the nearest gutter. Genius

    Just don't knit when you have them on...................only 14.99

    Coffee+juice can be "deadly" combo. But it's still strange, maybe you have a bladder infection... :pac:

    I need those pisspants. Make it happen eisenberg! Figure out a way to stop it going cold too. Cold pee would be horrible, warm pee would be amazing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,029 ✭✭✭salacious crumb


    Thermos pisspants?

    I do the Lotto online.

    If you win something you get an email the next morning to tell you to check your account. Its a standard email and does not say how much you have won.

    Too many times have I woken up, got the email , imagined what I was going to spend my €100,000,000 on only to find out I won €1.

    I wish they would tell you how much in the email :(

    People are bugging the Hell out of me today. Why in the name of Jesus do people bring empty shopping trolleys into the queue in the Post Office and or bank? Had a woman with an empty trolley in both this morning, then when I got past her in the Post Office I had to try to squeeze by a granny with a child in a pushchair that she'd decided to leave in the middle of the aisle at the counter, nobody could get past her:mad:

    Best of all though, just to round off a crappy morning, was the old fcuker in Lidl who got to the checkout and in the middle of having his items scanned, decided that he wanted more socks, could he get them himself, fcuk no, he had to get the girl to go and get them for him. I felt like battering him with my new mop, which I nearly forgot I had. On the plus side I remembered the mop and didn't get detained for shoplifting a Vileda mop:D

    People who use the word "purchased" when "bought" will suffice. Usually when they are making complaints and want to sound better by using "big" words :rolleyes:

    "Oh, purchased you say....Sorry I thought you bought it, but you purchased it...hang on til I bend over and kiss your feet....oh you with your big words"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 358 ✭✭WellThen?


    A website asking me whether i want to sign in with Google plus or Facebook...I will never visit your site again

    Insecure fuuckers. They're probably the knobends who used to put "tb" at the end of their texts when they were teenagers.

    I used to put wb at the end of texts when I was younger!!! What the f*ck is that about?!

    Cringe :o

    Customers on the phone saying "See ya later." No, you won't. If you did I'd have to report you for stalking! :eek:

    Actually people saying "See ya later", when you know you are not going to see them later, in general...

    I know I'm a bit awkward.

    Or those people who refer to customers as clients. F**king idiots.

    There seems to be an aversion to people being described as customer service is some companies now. They want to be called customer operations or some such nonsense.

    Best of all though are those people who are now referring to themselves as executives. They're super annoying. "Customer Care Executive" for Customer Service or "Business Development Executive" for Sales. Clowns.

    I work with people like that. It's all pretentious bullsh*t. Makes me cringe.

    I remember a guy in school telling the career guidance teacher, that when he left school, he was going in to the family business, a long established company involved in the reclamation and recycling of ossified materials and fossils.

    Or "oh hi" - what? Sorry, are you surprised? Do most people ignore your calls?

    Also people asking for your name. You're obviously not going to give the right one. :D
