    Urinal Etiquette Test

    I don't think there's an equivalent test for the ladies, but I suppose you could substitute the urinals for stalls :D

    I dunno, girls tend to have entirely different etiquette when going to the bathroom :pac: you never see guys going in groups or sharing a stall whereas on nights out for girls it would be a regular occurrence

    Solution:

    Lick all your fingers clean, with the palm of your hand wipe your chin, lick the palm of your hand clean. Lick your lips and hold your arms out as if nothing should ever touch them again, think for a few moments and then realise your only option is to continue sucking and licking on your fingers, finally wipe your face with your sliva soaked hands and re-lick your fingers.

    Pros:

    You get every finger licking drop

    Cons:

    Not the most sophisticated thing to do! but fun all the same.

    I just lost my appetite :(

    And always with the handbags!! Upon return from toilet, puts bag on floor beside feet which have trodden around a wee soaked floor. Comes home and puts handbag on table:eek:

    Only when there's a few cheeky lines to be had ;)

    I've also seen on many occasion girls in the guys toilets, they seem to think that they're intitled to use the guys toilets if their ones are full or if the queue's too long.

    Eeww eisenberg!:pac:
    I personally avoid taking the bag to the bathroom but if I do I usually hang it on the little hook (most cubicles have them) or find another solution unless the floor is clean then I leave it there. But +1 for the "puts handbag on table", I absolutely hate that. Women, who put their bags on tables in restaurants/cafes are even worse, [insert desired swearword] :mad:

    So much annoyance just because of an egg, I'm sorry but I can't stop laughing :D Pumpkinseeds stop being so stubborn and take the egg, hide it and give it back to him next year! :eek: :pac:
    I know, I think I just really need a drink:D It's sad, but 6 weeks without a drink or even a packet of crisps is making me cranky as Hell:(

    I barely passed as the thing said - 30 of 60!:eek:
    The 'very tricky indeed section' actually stressed me out! Guess I wouldn't make a good man, which is ok since I'm very happy being a woman :D

    I'll usually just go for the first door I see, it's usually 50/50 as to whether I'm in the ladies or the gents, but it's either never bothered them, or they were just too polite to say anything.

    Can you honestly say the same about a girl using the gents toilets? :D

    I do use the gents toilets on nights out occasionally if I get the all clear. Sometimes the guys are really sound and let us know that it's ok to go when they see that the queue in the ladies is mental.

    Never came across men who'd be angry or annoyed over it. Although I freaked one guy out a while back. He was quite drunk, washing his hands and as i walked out of the cubicle he shouted "I swear ya were a bloke getting in there!":eek:, "eh I can assure you that never in my life was I a bloke" as the fella in the other cubicle started laughing :D

    When the self-service things in Tesco don't work or are really slow :/

    when you help a parent with a computer issue, and after you are forever blamed for future issues.

    Its worse when you help a couple people in the office with minor things on the computer, proper basic stuff like attachments or scanning stuff, so they refer to you as the "technical genius of the office", and you just end up looking pathetic when there's an actual problem with the PC and they expect you to fix it :pac:

    No, getting rid of that virus did not slow down the computer. It doesnt matter if you think its going slower. You know what, fine I obviously know nothing about computers, that college course only had computer in the name because they thought it sounded cool.

    Windows 7

    The start screen is a mess. You can't print photos from its photo editing app, the email app is horrible and it's called windows because you can flick between windows, the start screen just defuncts the name. More like Panels.

    You sure that's not Windows 8.1 Elmo? That's a bucket of over-hyped shìte alright (says I typing this on my Windows 8 Phone :pac:), but the desktop version still won't be right until the first service pack at least to iron out some of the bugs (fairly embarrassing yesterday when it BSOD'd on me yesterday in front of a customer, definitely not inspiring faith!).

    Oh yeah, about Windows 7 - it's the 1GB updates I've to download each time I do a fresh install, I wish Microsoft would just release Service Pack 2 already! :mad:

    My 21 year old housemate sleeps with her bedroom light on and we've those doors with the glass above them so her bedroom light lights up the whole feckin' house at night :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,477 ✭✭✭Oops69


    Those 'do not disturb' and breakfast ordering things hanging on the inside of hotel doors , ever tried closing the door on the inside without the fecking things falling off around three times !!! , there's gotta be a better way!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,477 ✭✭✭Oops69

    Kids running around in Pubs

    I understand Parents need a drink to unwind and I don't mind kids in the pubs but is it a big ask that they are watched and kept seated?

    Because it does ! As far as I remember your browser saves your search history (cookies? Im not IT savvy) and your ads will then reflect what you've been Googling and so on. Kind of creepy! (Also, get AdBlock :P)
