    Being put in a really awkward position by someone.. no lads I don't mean anything rude. ;)
    I know a lad that comes into our shop every day who is over 18 and today he was buying alcohol and got asked for i.d., he didn't have it so got refused. He then came to my til because he recognised me from I.ding him before, and I after seeing this must also refuse the sale. So I of course now must ask him for I.d with the other girl eyeballing me and the security man staring at me.

    I was asked for ID at Christmas, when I showed my licence I got WOOW

    Complement to be asked, the wow was the knock back (I'm not that ****ing old! though I amn't that young haha)

    It's a nice mild evening and I'd really like to sit in my front garden and have a coffee, but I won't because I know that there'll be another election candidate around the area canvassing again.

    Street Performers who take ages to get to the performance and then its sh*t

    The Gobsheens who write on the pavement and think its busking, being able to write is the least we should expect after 10-13yrs education

    and last but not least "Statues" the human ones on the street that move when you pass and then stick a hand out or try give you a poxy lolly WTF

    dont know what its like in the rest of the Country but its an epidemic in Dublin

    Oh good god yes. The street performers who spend 10 minutes beforehand asking people to give them money if they like it because god love them, it's all they have in this life.

    Fast food packaged in a way that makes it edible yet inedible.

    Wrapped in a plasticy thing wrapped in another papery thing wrapped in a paper bag.

    Then when you get to it its too hot to eat and covered in 5 litres of sauce.

    'Twould be more effective as gaeilge, though. ;) You'd think having done the ol' honours Irish to Leaving Cert, I could do better than, "Is é m'uisce... umm... er... FÚCK ÓFF, YA PÓX MÓR!" <---that counts, right? Fadas count.

    I don't get how that was awkward? If you knew he was over 18 and had ID'd him before, could you not have said this? Sounds like he has more of a case to be annoyed than you.

    I had said. it could be the pope, but once asked for Id on a sale it must be shown. No id,no sale! I can't over ride another cashier. Instead of sayin to the lad go get your Id, they left him queue at my til. I asked them to tel the lad that, but no they said ask him for Id.
    I'm probably not explaining myself properly, but it was my colleagues put me in the awkward position.

    I don't real understand closing old threads that are resurrected, why not reply to something that's 10 years old?

    I've always wondered that. You get a bollockin if you start a new thread that's already been started before, and a bollockin if you resurrect an old thread. That's too much bollockin.

    The sounds my OH makes when she is eating a Twister ice pop. She sounded like a thoroughly satisfied lover yesterday walking down the street.

    I hate people who make any sort of noise when they are eating.

    I also hate people who stare at the food they're eating while they're eating it.

    I also hate people who look at me while we're eating together in silence. Especially when they look at me and smile, for some reason.

    Niall Boylan is on Classic Hits 4fm way too much. Sometimes I enjoy his show but twice a day, five days a week is over kill. He'll become the new Joe Duffy.

    I don't like him. He is way too opinionated for a radio phone-in show presenter and his opinions are usually absolute bollocks.

    People who stare at you, for no (apparent) reason.
    I was doing some grocery shopping on Tuesday, as I turned away from a shelf, I saw a woman across the way staring at me. She only stopped when I glanced at her.
    Now I did get my hair cut the previous day, so maybe my hairdresser cut a shape into the back that I don't know about, a funny face or a streak of pink :D.
    I also dislike when eating out, people coming into the restaurant who almost put their head onto your plate. I don't mean someone glancing as they pass but a full-on gawp.

    Some people love a good gape. I find it very rude if someone is gawking at you or something that is yours unashamedly. They seem totally oblivious and just stand there, slackjawed, taking it all in. On a couple of occasions I've asked if everything was ok and on one in particular I asked if they would like to take a photo.

    Aggressive greeters. I had to bring 1 of our cats to the vet this morning, he's got an injured paw and is so sore the vet has to sedate him. So I'm waiting for a call from the vet to see how he is and when I can collect him.

    I was just walking home, lost in my own thoughts, and some old fella in his 60's, said 'good morning' to me. I've never seen him before and I just smiled and said 'good morning' back to him.

    I'd only gone about 2 steps when he shouts back aggressively 'I said good morning':mad: So I stopped and turned around, he'd stopped in the street and was waiting for a response. So I said 'so did I' and off he went. I'm really sorry I didn't tell him to fcuk off and die:mad::mad:
