Hope it's okay to start the new thread (not sure if mods have to do it).

I posted this right at the end of the last thread so just carrying it over as it has me driven demented.

I have a question on this subject.

"I gets", "I says" et al is typical of uncultured bumpkins from the arse-end of a mountain such as myself, unfortunately!

I can't put sticky jars in the recycling bin but I wash them by hands because bits of label everywhere is another thing I can't stand. And that reminds me of a few more:
you open the washing machine to take the clothes out and realise that somehow that one bastard of a tissue got in there and now it's all over everything

teabags in the sink, the bin is not miles away

:mad::mad::mad:

I'm with you on these. I leave jars into a basin of water and the label comes off whole. Hate that if a tissue gets all over stuff in the wash, and you are convinced you searched every pocket and sleeve.
Another thing I hate is litter, and what seems to have become common-stuffing household rubbish into public litter bins. I saw two people yesterday at a bin outside a supermarket, trying to stuff rubbish into an already overflowing bin. It was a total mess already, I feel sorry for whoever has to try and empty it.
I hate to see people flinging litter around anyway. It makes me sick.

Are you annoyed at the fact that them asking this question reminds you of the fact that you DO live in an igloo, or are you annoyed at the fact that they'd be as ignorant as to even have to ASK whether or not you do? Because you obviously do

I'm annoyed they are so ignorant as to even ask me.

So I wander into the office kitchen to fix an oul' heart-starter. While the espresso machine is ruminating and growling, I get a bottle of milk out of the fridge and place it on the worktop beside me. As I'm waiting, someone else comes in with a bowl of cereal, eyes the milk, and says "May I?". "Certainly", says I, and they take the bottle and put some on their cereal. Then, they put the bottle back in the fridge. YOU BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU!!!

I have a similar thing with my dad whenever I'm living at home. I'll go to the fridge and get milk/OJ and put it on the table. Then I go across the room to grab some cereal and in the few seconds that takes me he's walked into the room and put it back in the fridge.

Also, people leaving manky dishes in a sink full of water. Scrape the worst parts into the bin for feck sake, I don't want to stick my hand into this lukewarm goop to pull the plug.

Well I guess that answers my second question I always wanted to ask a Canadian but never thought to ask when I meet them!

Meanwhile, taking time out for a sit-down, and the pain of lumping around one permanently dead leg is one thing, but when you're getting up and you realise the other leg has gone dead, that's just taking the piss quite frankly! :mad:

Don't get it.....are you actually an eskimo?

or is that some view people have of canadians? It's not something that I would associate with Canada generally

When manufacturers put 2 different products in identical packaging. I ordered a bag of dry food for cats, not realising that the dog version is in identical packaging, except for the silhouette of a dog on it:rolleyes:. I blamed the retailer for sending me the wrong product but have since realised that it was my mistake:o

Still, it bugs the Hell out of me that I've emailed the retailer yesterday and today for the Return number that I need to put on the form when I return it to exchange it, and they haven't replied yet:mad:

What really takes the biscuit is that the retailer charges 4 something to ship in Ireland but almost 8 euro to ship from Uk to Ireland but the return address is in the UK. They only cover the cost of returns up to the 4 something I paid with DHL, but it's going to cost us more to send it back via An Post:mad::mad:

I spend too much time in shops. We've only ever seen the cat food we use online so there's no alternative but to buy it online. Amazon do some of it but it's extortionately overpriced. For example we get a 6 pack of the tinned food for 6.99. On Amazon 1 can costs over 2 pounds.

Naps. I just can't do them. I got home absolutely exhausted, decided to take a nap (30-45 mins) and woke up 4 hours later!:mad:

I think Google uses the google wallet support as a means of putting the people not smart enough to walk to work on their own out of the way. They required a government issued ID and either a bank statement, credit card statement or utility bill to prove my address. I sent them a bank statement and drivers licence and twice they thought I was sending them a credit card statement despite having selected bank statement. I told them its visa debit so now they want to see the bank statement showing the last 4 digits of my debit card, which doesnt have my card number. They have the option of web chat but only once my account is verified. I seriously cant work out whats wrong with them and it takes hours to get a response.

I love naps, the problem i have with them is having a 40/50 min nap and waking up feeling horrific, i kind of feel a combination of overly lethargic (similar to that point when you have had so much to drink you are fighting to keep your eyes open) and also slightly jittery where all i want to do is melt back into sleep.

I didn't need any of that

They are perfectly useless in google wallet support, though. I had a warning on the top of my gmail that my card could not be verified (had been using it for ages in google wallet so why now suddenly?) and that I should log in and update my details.

Well, looked a lot like fishing to me. Logged in (in a different browser) and everything looked correct, so rang them. Asked why the message was appearing (dunno..), what they were going to do about it (nothing we can do), why they were allowing messages that looked distinctly like fishing to persist (not my area, sorry, I only deal with google wallet queries) and importantly, is it a fishing scam?! (Em I don't really know, I don't know why the message is there. Is there anything else I can help you with?)

CHRIST ON A BIKE.

So the hell what that you're only google wallet support and not google support, there's a message relating to my credit card details on google wallet that looks highly suspect and they didn't give a rats arse.

20 minutes is the accepted duration of a useful nap. Less isn't beneficial, more is detrimental because of sleep cycles.

Yep, that's exactly how I feel! That's why I avoid them even though I like my sleep.

I think it's just my body's revenge on me for not being very good to it lately. Have to get back to the healthier routine again.

Working with aul ones who have less qualifications and just one year extra experience, who think cause they've lived to see the other side of 45 and have sprang 4 brats from their lady garden, that they're much more knowledgeable and their time much more precious.

Also said aul ones thinking I give a flying **** about their child's schedule, unless its impacting on my day, such as left doing her job cause she had to leave early to collect her spawn.

I'm rattlin all day with temper

I think I know why when I nap it turns into a full nights sleep. People seem to be talking about 40/50 minute naps. It takes me at least that long to even fall asleep. Also I don't want to get up. :P

On the way in to work earlier, there is a right wanker in front of me, you know, with bowlie haircut, early twenties, pock marked, manky lookin, ultra bright tracksuit, tucked in to the once white socks, carrying a little bag from the chemist and screaming in the phone " I GOT me fcukin meds, see you, yer oney a fcukin BITCH!!, hello, are you der? HELLO? FCUK!!", turns to me and says "Here, pal, can I borrow yer phone for a minute?"
ME: "No"
Skanger: "What? Why?"
Me: "Because you cant"
Skanger:" your oney a bollox"
Me: "Please go away".....well, something like that.

Great start to the day....he was probably going home for a little doze after walking all the way to the chemist

W*nker, I'd be just in the mood for someone like that today. Should have asked him is it not enough your tax is paying for his methadone and probably his accommodation and mickey money too. Great thing about people like that is you can say whatever you want to them - they are so out of it they couldnt get the reflexes together enough to even throw a punch...
