    Shop assistants asking me 'are you alright?'

    wtf do I look sick or something? Yes I'm perfectly alright thanks very much. How about asking whether you can help me with something?

    I was in a shoe shop last week, saw a man ask for a 10, puts them on and proceeds to walk up and down, turn to the sales assistant and asks "do they fit me?":confused::confused:

    Good man, safe near pets? ( don't worry about the kids:D)

    Safe near pets?? It's an organic acid based heavy-duty cleaner. Keep pets away from the area until you rinse it away!

    Ask for a 10? Like in Sesame Street? 'Sssshhh, you got a 10 to spare?' No I got loads of R's though.

    Edit: Haha I overlooked the word 'shoe'. Maybe I'm not so alright after all...

    Ah Shoesaleman , my old profession.

    A polish lad came in before and asked me for his size and I told him i wasnt a mind reader. He then proceeded to whip out a stick and told me this was his size!!!!

    Looking at the runner you had on wasnt an option no?

    Also had a woman come in with a battered pair of Adidas Predators which she wanted a refund on. When I saw the receipt it was dated a year and 6 months ago!!!!! She said it was a disgrace that they were falling apart. Your son had been kicking around a piece of leather in them for a year an a half, what did you expect?

    What is so hard about it?

    Working and having kids....wouldn't fancy it!!! I don't know about you but I don't function very well with little sleep.

    Also, have you tried squeezing a baby out of your vagina? If you're a man, just think about passing a kidney stone and come back to me on it. A non-shattered kidney stone. *shudders*

    I hate when bar staff don't tell you what the total is when you're ordering more than one drink in a pub or club, when they just stand there with their hand outstretched. Then you have to ask what the total is and they act like it's some huge ordeal to turn around (literally right behind them) and check the till themselves.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    Since we're on the subject of kids. I really hate those staged professional photos that people have done. Especially themed ones or even worse, themed ones where everyone is wearing the same colour. They are so unnatural and I find them a bit tacky tbh.

    I don't really know why people have professional photos done, unless of course it's for something like weddings, communions etc. I know someone who had a very airbrushed one done for her facebook page, she got married recently and as horrible as this sounds, on her wedding day she really did look like someone had put make up and a dress on a pig.

    Finding a place to live this year. Due to my college schedule with a work placement this year I need a place for 8 months and another for 5 months. Then I have to move back and find a place for 9 months and finally another place when I graduate. At least 9 months isnt too difficult to find.

    It's getting harder and harder to catch the little fcuker and put him back in his cage as I get older, and feeding him after 12 is a big no-no, he goes apeshìt altogether! :pac:


    No such thing as "Good morning" in this house -

    Him: "Daaad, you have a very big belly"

    Me: "So? You inherited your mother's big head!"

    "MAAAAAAA..." :D

    Good man. My wan still regards me with a sort of fascinated horror - she can't figure out whether she thinks I'm the Kurgan or the Predator.

    Kinda trivial but I hated when the kaiser stole our word for "twenty".

    42 is the answer to all the questions of life, the universe and everything. There's no reason why any pack of anything at all shouldn't have 42 units in it.

    Personally I wouldn't buy them if they didn't!

    The weather. It's chilly in the mornings so I need to wear warm clothes going out, then the sun comes out and I'm too warm. Then of course it gets overcast and it's cold again. It's too warm for my winter coat and too cold for my mac:mad:

    People who say things like "I was sat"...you were sitting, not sat.

    Unless you're from Yorkshire, in which case it is perfectly acceptable to say, e.g. "Ah wur sat on t'sofa..." :D

    When people respond with "yeah I know but..." after you've answered them. It's a thinly veiled attempt at saying "yeah, I don't care, here listen to me"

    Case in point; This whole Russell Crowe vs Reporter video that's doing the rounds. Good ol' Moses himself tells yer one that his aforementioned team plays Rugby League after she asks whether or not he'd bring the team to Ireland to play against our teams. As soon as he corrects her, with something along the lines of "My team plays Rugby League", she just blurts out "Yeah I know but... would you bring them over" and jumps right back into her questioning.

    How he didn't hit her is beyond me. Stupid cow.

    Oh, Journalists, or rather **** "journalists" annoy me to no end.

    when whoever emptied the bin didnt put a new black bag in... and you only realise after you've scraped your plate into it

    when you've chatted about everything possible with your visitors and your expecting them to head off soon but instead they sit in silence watching sh'it tv and decline any more tea because they are leaving soon.... LEAVE NOW

    when the person beside you at work looks at you and says 'hmmmm???'...... when you didn't say anything

    when your loo roll is in the hotpress still in the plastic and you only realise after you've done the business

    when you have to wipe your ar'se with a baby wipe and use your knickers to dry off the excess wet from the wipe

    when you go to tesco to do the weekly shop and plan to evenly split it but the other person needs razor blades and organic vegetables

    when you can't tell if the dishes in the dishwasher are clean or dirty

    when the driver behind you is up your a'ss and when you move lanes they follow suit

    when you think you got a special offer on your wine and the woman at the till says... the offer ended yesterday

    when you put loads of washes on cos its sunny and once the machine is finished its lashing out

    when you end up buying more than you can carry

    when your mam says she got you something in fairyhouse and you have to pretend to be excited

    when your waiting on number 26 at bingo and someone checks on 27

    when your boss catches you strolling out early and doesn't mention it but you know she knows!

    when you remember your eflow at 8.10pm the following day
