    I read my husbands copy of Imajica years ago and I want to reread it. Simple to get a copy you'd think, but no, it seems like it's only being sold in seperate volumes of the story and not the 1 volume that my husband had. I've only found 1 copy and that's some guy in America looking for 62 pounds for it, I don't want to read it that badly.

    It's Sunday and some fcuking muppet in my terrace is hammering away at diy. The fcuker didn't make enough noise during the evenings last week with his fcuking drill:mad:

    Just sit outside his door with your ipod dock and blast out Aphex Twin's Ventolin on repeat.

    When your glass sticks to the coaster in the pub.

    When you put your coaster on your beer when you go for a cigarette and then it makes the beer taste like coaster :(

    (also on this, the inevitable fuuckhead who always jokes about how "it wont stop the drink being spiked you know, har har har" and you're like, "yeah I know, its to stop the waitress taking before I'm finished!"

    Ohh Monday mornings wouldn't be the same :pac:

    Yeah, except for the "how was your weekend?" crowd. One day I will actually respond with "I don't have a fcuking life, I'm twice your age, I'm tired, I'm sick, I'm frustrated...", but for now I'll just go with "Good weekend now, thanks for asking!" :pac:

    People who waste my time. Had one real act last night. Out for a few drinks with the OH and some friends. Wanted to wind down the weekend nicely with 2, max 3 drinks and relax. Not a fuucking hope. Some absolute....yoke that apparently was part of their group attached himself to me. It was mildly irritating at first, every sentence beginning with, "can I just tell you one thing?" and then he'd launch into some fuucking monologue about himself, interspersed with "oh I'm sorry, I'm sooooo drunk, you must haaaaaaaaaaaaate me" (after a while I stopped denying it). I mean, I dont even know this whingey queen and I had to put up with him crying about how he cant get a nice guy and saying, "do you think I'm preeeeeedy? Whats WRONG with meeeeee?". He literally chewed the ear off me until we were out the door (and the bouncer thankfully stopped him as he wasnt finished his drink). His real highlight was, "do you know what I feel, like, reeeeally bad about? All those Jewish people who died during WW2. I mean, we have our own carefree lives and we're so happy and carefree and these people just like....died!" - ffs I know but what do you want me to do about it now, a Sunday night in 2014? I dont think there are many people who dont feel bad about what happened, so you dont need to pre-empt your declaration with some "I'm so special for feeling this way" qualifier. Silly, silly cry-baby boy. pfffft.

    Clients coming to me for my help and expertise, then when I have put some solid work into helping them go completely against all of my suggestions as a designer and then proceed to tell me exactly how they want things done, this usually turns out horrific, but "the customer is always right" so i bite my tongue and do as they say to keep them pleased.

    The worst part of this is that after completely changing my initial work to suit some clients they see what a disaster their changes have produced and then want me to revert back to my original designs. Arrgghh....

    Safe to say my computer and the phone have been close to getting smashed off the wall and thrown out the window on numerous occasions!

    The customer is not always right, that is bull shit! The customer should shut the fuck up and let the trained professional do the job they are paying him for when i have their best interests to begin with!

    Fucking Monday morning and i'm already dealing with idiots! Can't cope!! :mad:

    People are dumb..

    It happened again yesterday. Standing outside a shopping centre having a smoke, two women walking towards the door with a toddler and used me as a way to discipline the kid. "Put on your shoes. The man won't let you in if you don't put on your shoes."

    OldNotWise, after reading that I don't even feel like finishing my tea. I wanna run home and hide under my bed for an eternity. I hate those people!:eek:

    Me too. Grow up ffs :rolleyes: I'm so past the age of "being gay gives you a ticket to being an annoying bint" :mad:

    Annoying people in general just annoy me!

    Another type I dislike - you meet them through friends and know them for about 5 minutes and it goes like this: "Omg you are like so cool, I totally get you, we could be like best mates OH MY GAAAAAD, let's get a drink n I tell you about my life!"
    Alright, I get it you like my friend and you're trying to make an effort but get off my back you pretentious twat!

    Can I just say one thing to you? Ok, um: (inserts life story)

    Forgot to mention, this guy also did another really annoying thing - he bummed smokes off my OH all night. I couldnt believe it. Fair enough if its the end of the night and you just want one but like he bummed one and then just kept taking them for the rest of the night. And to add insult to injury, tried to pay her with like, 1.50 or something. In the end he wanted another and she was like "er sorry but you smoked loads and I have two left that me and my gf are gonna have on the way home" - pleb of the highest order. too fuucking cheap to buy his own smokes.

    This time of year in college. The SU are voting on abortion (again) and something to do with boycotting Israel with the argument that if you vote to boycott Israel then you hate Jews. Might as well Godwin it. Then there's the arts and commerce students trying to fill up their CV by getting a job in the SU.

    People who keep ringing the phone.
    I didn't answer the second or third time, I will see the missed calls.
    Chances are I'll ring back, currently on number 26 missed call in one hour.

    Idiots.


    Rang back, wanted to know what I was up to that night, hung up straight away.
    26 missed calls for that?

    That bint Linda Martin, her head should be banned under the Geneva Convention.

    Due to discord in our house, I was reduced to watching that **** on the TV the other night ( one of those "well, you can change if you want" and I responded with the "NO, we will watch whatever you want") and on and on it went....

    Then I start ton take the Eurovision seriously and coming out with " Well, that did not deserve to win!"

    I should have went for a pint.......................

    When you run out of tea bags! :eek:

    But that's not trivial, that's a serious emergency :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,468 ✭✭✭✭OldNotWIse


    When people stumble a bit or mix up their sentences, thats ok, it happens to us all, but some then have to acknowldege that they have made a mistake and make some weird sound with their tongue.

    There's a new cartoon on Nick Jr called Zack & Quack.

    I keep saying Back, Zack & Quack in my head when I hear it on the ad! :o

    Gaaaaggh! I cringe violently when I hear grown men use the phrase "Back, sack and Crack" on the television. If anyone ever uses it in my presence they'll get an ANZAC Salute fairly lively! :mad:

    People posting feckless things on Facebook or other social media sites. I came across one yesterday claiming that drinking a glass of cold water on an empty stomach every morning would cure everything from Arthritis to cancer. What a fcuking stupid and offensive load of sh*te.

    Sounds like a stalker I'd say.

    When the guy on the radio ad pronounces Lidl as Lee-dahl. It's Liddle.

    People who put the milk in tea before adding the hot water.

    Running late already but making it for the next bus on time only for the driver to say "Sorry, the bus is full you can't get on. You'll have to get the next one."
    The NEXT ONE!? Even the bus god doesn't when that will come!
    Oh the joys of morning commuting... :pac:

    'Spreading' real butter on bread. By 'spreading', I actually mean tearing the f*cker apart and rendering it useless and unrecognisable.....with an unspread lump o' butter nestled on top.
