    RTE 1 on the car radio.

    Try moving up/down the dial to get rid of them, and they just wont fvck off.

    Ach higgil mach bhfuigluil .... (turns dial) ... Seamus ach (turns dial) ... ni raibh se as (turns dial FVCK OFFFF) ... mar a bhi .... (click - radio off).

    Even worse when they do the same with the diddly I music.

    You really ARE a fussy onion :p

    Me I like all the colors except the green ones as they're too bitter or dry or something for my taste (they leave a kind of a bitter aftertaste like sloe berries).

    But anyway, when they only have the three pack peppers with a green one in them, and the loose green peppers, and all the loose yellow and red ones are gone, I just tear open a three pack, the green pepper in the loose green peppers basket, and put the red and yellows in one of the plastic bags ;)

    You leave me alone or I'll tell Solange on ya! :mad:

    I always want to rip open those three packs and replace them with reds and greens but I don't want the fruit and vegetable police to catch me...they have lots of fruit and veg workers in my local Tesco and I might be blacklisted!

    Did you see the new salad leaves in Tesco...two smaller bags joined together..i bought them and theyre lovely as i was having the same probs as you..was constantly dumping half a bag every week.

    Only the yellow and red peppers get eaten here :) Bought the mixed bag in Tesco this week 3 red 1 yellow..small but nice and hard;)

    Ooh I didn't see those..I'll check them out thanks :)

    Heh, if my own wife ever caught me doing it she'd have a hissy fit and all! :D

    This is why I rarely ever accompany her when she's doing the shopping - we drive each other up the walls -

    "You can't do this, you can't do that, those bananas are too green, put them back and get me the yellow bananas, stop running into me, I can't take ye anywhere"... :pac:

    I'm awfully picky when it comes to bananas. I like banana flavoured things but wouldn't be big into eating bananas themselves. If so they must be almost green. I prefer juicy fruits. (Not the chewing gums)

    I make a great banana bread though :o

    Oh and I hate when Tesco stocks those bags of mixed peppers and you find all they have are red and yellow mix.
    Or worse..orange and yellow,

    I WANT THE RED AND GREEN..STOP CHANGING THEM EVERY WEEK! NOBODY LIKES THE ORANGE AND YELLOW ONES!!!!!!
    Orange and yellow are my favourite. I tend to buy the mini sweet peppers now and the bag usually has more yellow and orange than red. Win win for me :D

    I stocked up on cheap peppers in Dunnes the other day. It's funny shopping with my husband. I 'let' him push the trolley,stops me ploughing someone down and he can squeeze the handle and pretend it's my throat when I'm nagging about something.

    We buy pretty much the same brands for years and yet often when he goes shopping without me he phones me to ask what brand we get if I haven't specifically written it on the shopping list:D

    Czarcasm you rebel!!!
    Opening up multi packs!! lets all burn our bras! ;)

    my trivial annoyance today is someone cycling the wrong way in the cycling lane. i.e. cycling towards you.
    Do the rules of the road not apply to them?

    Old ladies at a till who have paid for their shopping then start their lottery procedure, can take up to another 5 minutes between checking lotto ticket, retrieving purse, choosing another lottery ticket, paying and repeat some of the above

    Also people at the supermarket checkout with a trolley full of groceries who insist on packing away every single item into the bags (in slow motion of course) before taking out the money or credit card to pay. I've seen this time and time again : common sense would suggest they pay as soon as all the items have been scanned through and the total amount to pay is known.

    1. When an important Amazon purchase inexplicably arrives 3 weeks after you order it. I needed that hip flask, for urgent drinking on the go reasons! It's no good to me now FFS, I'm at home and I have glasses for that kind of thing.

    2. When you're driving somewhere unfamiliar and you approach a snarly looking roundabout with trepidation, then the satnav says something like "turn right on the roundabout, 9th exit, then stay in the right lane". I die inside a little bit. As does anyone unfortunate enough to be approaching the roundabout at the same time as me, tbh.

    3. On that note, roundabouts with strict lane discipline, so you can't change once you've realised you need to be in the next lane out of the 5 options you've already negotiated and you can't so you end up driving halfway across the country before being able to turn around and have another go at it!

    Fluorosis. Got a scale and polish, my teeth look ridiculous. Bit white specks of fluoride stuck on them :(

    Also, my phone changes the word bé when i type it and doesnt automatically make the i upper case or add punctuation like it did yesterday :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,076 ✭✭✭✭Czarcasm


    Bloody hell! OK I know it's a bit early in the morning to be getting annoyed, but everyone hates "hold" music, "your call is important to us", yada yada...

    And then they go and hang up automatically! Six minutes, nineteen seconds on hold, and then without so much as a "Would you like a callback?"...

    *beep beep beep*


    :mad:

    Try dealing with the nightmare that is SUSI. I've been on hold with them for 25 minutes and when I finally got through to someone they couldn't help me :rolleyes:

    Speaking of nutsacs and rations of passion, I was walking through the city there and there was a young couple going at it hammer and tongs in full view of everyone in the park!

    I wasn't sure if I was mildly bemused or quite frankly disgusted at them hopping off each other like a pair of dogs in heat!

    I'mma just go with *blech*.


    Outdoor sex is one thing, exhibitionism is quite something else entirely!

    Just as a matter of interest, what time of day was this? was that you in the mac and sunglasses?:D

    Walking through spider webs, especially in public, makes you look like your a mentalist trying to get if off. Then the rest of the day is spent knowing its still there and wondering if there's a spider hiding in your hair


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


    Living in a terraced house. I woke up this morning to the sound of hammering in someone's house, yet again. I'm so fricking sick of it at this point. It's like a competition in our terrace, one finishes with the DIY/ home improvement and another has to start:mad:

    What, with the super telephoto lens attached to a Nikon DSLR camera to get up close and personal to the action?

    Naaaah, not me sir, no siree bob! :pac:

    Y'know I haven't heard that one since I was a child, and back then if it wasn't my mother in one ear talking about the starving children in Africa, it was the kids in my class in the other ear trying to put each other off our lunches (I don't know why, we were kids, not exactly bastions of sense and sensibility), but one lad came out with that and because it sounded so plausible, he genuinely put me off bananas for a long time!

    Nowadays kids can just check Google, it's not nearly as much fun :(

    I'm a fan of the search engine as I am quite curious (I'd be looking up all sorts of things from the types of monkeys, over the physics stuff that's beyond my brain capacity to biographies of famous people) but what really bothers me is that 'Google it' is an answer for anything these days! Sure, I can google it and I do quite often but can we not for once have a conversation? You know, exchange information and explore the knowledge of one another. My brother is an absolute devil for this, I think he's just being lazy tbh.

    The Rubik's cube on Google. Damn it, what a time killer! :pac:

    The truth is all fine and dandy, but there is nothing better to liven up a boring conversation, than a good dollop of bull****. My uncle, who heads up the R&D section of Airbus, told me that.

    True for you. Whatever happened to all the long, rambling stories full of hyperbole, mysticism, and downright lies?? :pac:

    I'm stuck waiting around for the postman. DHL haven't updated the tracking on my package since Thursday, so it's anyone's guess whether it arrives today or tomorrow. Also, I'm trying to decide if I should get off my arse and go to my GP this afternoon or leave it until tomorrow morning. I'm leaning towards tomorrow.
