There has to be a reason for that, cos it happens to me too.
Every medicine box!

Schrodinger's medicine box? As long as the box is closed the instructions side is first on both sides. Until it is opened..then it's always that f*cking side!!

Mathematics is well-and-fine, but the Universe will give you one in the jacksie where it can. This is the entire basis of Quantum Theory.

Having to make conversation with someone you really can't stand. I rarely bother even acknowledging people I don't like but this guy is one of the Directors and cornered me in the kitchen this morning. Que feigning civility and making small talk while nearly gouging out my own palms with my fingernails while secretly imagining him doing a big, painful, bum splitting poo.

And breathe.

I wasted a whole day yesterday waiting for a call back so I could go collect a print out of my blood tests to take to the hospital with me tomorrow, never got the call back. Now I've got to go sit in the waiting room and see the doctor as the receptionist isn't there today.:mad:

Ah Pumpkin I'm sorry to hear that (or read to be precise) that's just disgraceful. The whole health system is doing my head in, I just don't understand how can it be so backwards. I received an appointment card in January telling me that I am scheduled to see the specialist at the end of November. Alright, it's nothing urgent so I'll just get on with it. Then a few weeks ago I got a letter asking if I want to keep the appointment and if I do that I should reply to them within 5 days from the date of the letter. I was fcuking fuming. I went away for 4 days so I discovered the letter upon my return home. I was already 1 day past the deadline. But I didn't receive the letter before I left Dublin, there was nada in the letter box. WHY on earth would you at this time with all the technology send a bloody letter when it's something urgent!? Why not to just call me or e-mail or text. Sending a pigeon would probably be more effective. That reminds me that I have to call them AGAIN and follow up on the whole thing. Which is a pain in the head because the secretary seems to be quite useless, that is if you manage to get through to her at all :mad:

^^^ My son has gotten a few chest infections over the years, more than you would expect with a child. He has also gotten breathless or wheezy once or twice and we got an inhaler from the GP if he cant catch his breath.
To get him properly tested and to see if he has Asmatha (sp?) or any other respitory problems, we were given an appointment for 21 months away. Nearly 2 years for an appointment for a child. Ludacris.

I would laugh at it if it wasn't so desperate

Because I use a word you don't like? No I'm not. You're a very sheltered individual.

I would not regard myself as sheltered, but I find the word very offensive.

To wait almost two years for what must be a fairly routine type of test is absolutely scandalous. I don't know the reasons why nor do I have the solution but it is just simply not acceptable to have to wait that long.

I was talking to a friend here about the free breast cancer screening programme for people of 40 and above. His wife was given her appointment for November 2016! What's the point in launching the iniciative, nobel as it is when you clearly don't have the requisite resources to provide an efficient service.

I'm not going to get any more annoyed today with the healthcare system.

On the other hand here is some first world problem:
THE LADDER!!
I just realised I have a ladder in my tights on the back of my leg coming from the heel all the way up. The one time I don't have a spare pair with me dammit :mad:

Speaking of ladders I hate going up the bloody things.

4 rungs and you'd swear I was dangling from a window sill 10 storeys up.
I had to put up an outside light at the weekend which was a rung out of my
comfortzone. A few deep breaths and some self encouragement along the lines of 'get up that effing ladder you big wuss, ffs a child would have it done by now' and I finished an hour later what was a 10 minute job.

There's a lamp shade for a room upstairs that has been waiting to be fitted for about 3 years as it means a top rung climb which I'm incapable of doing.

Just do a ladder on the other leg, it will look like fashion or something then.....at least that's what men will think.

I'm wearing a pencil skirt, I was told that the leg is a last thing that men would look at :eek::pac:

I have no idea what a pencil skirt is, but I imagine that it is some sort of garment that will shift focus to what rests above your ladder riddled legs?

Your deduction is correct :rolleyes:

Here's something that annoys me something bad.

When you have your phone connected to your computer and want to play music from your phone (iTunes) library in a certain order...say for example, the most basic one being track 1 to the last track in album order.

The sort criteria available doesnt allow it for some reason.

Getting hired by a company, getting let go 4 months later, getting re-hired 3 weeks after, then getting let go AGAIN 3 months later...

Actually, that doesn't annoy me. Good riddance to this shíthole!

Pumpkinseeds · 28-05-2014 02:18PM

I really annoy myself when I get into pointless debates with idiots.

Delira · 28-05-2014 02:48PM

People not rinsing the shower after themselves so there's huge amount of dried-in soap gunk left around the plughole area (girl) or worse, chest hairs and god knows what else kind of hairs all over the fecking bath (boy). Filthy animals. Can they not bloody see???? How come I can see it but others can't!? Uuuugh! :mad:

God damn Irish sun. If it's a good day and you're lying out in it, the clouds appear every five minutes, so 80% of the time you're just an idiot lying in the garden.
