    the woman beside me in work is ringing her husband from her desk phone. She's too lazy to actually hold the receiver to her ear so has the phone on speaker.

    He is not answering...so for the past 20 minutes, all Ive heard is a continious ringing..broken up by intermittent error tones when she's left it ringing too long...

    FFS HE'S OBV NOT THERE!!!!!!!!...either hold the phone to your ear or stop being such a crazy stalker wife!!!!!!!!

    That reminds me of a female co-worker who is fond of the oul personal calls.
    I don't have anything against that.
    But the personal calls are always to her husband, 5 or 6 times a day, and she always ends up shouting abuse at him. It's normally starts off with her having bought something new online.

    Maybe they do this fight throughout the day routine and have incredible angry make up canoodling love humping when they get home. I'd like to think that, otherwise she is just an annoying loud b to the i to the t-c-h.

    The keyboard on my phone pisses me off so much! It censors certain words i want to save into the dictionary! As some of you will know i swear, a lot. this is not restricted to Boards i also like to use colourful language via text but the poxy keyboard refuses to save the words "fuck" "fucking" "fucked" etc etc into the phones dictionary.

    If i use the standard Samsung keyboard this isn't an issue but my thumbs are too fat for it so i have to use a different one and it's fucking stressing me out that i Have to stop mid swype to manually tap in the word breaking up the flow of each message.

    Just let me say FUCK, for fuck sake :(

    There is no bigger a trivial annoyance for man than a Daddy Long Legs floating around in your bedroom in the middle of the night. Especially when they brush past your ear when you're trying to get asleep. Like flying ninjas.

    It's a vicious circle. You open the bedroom window to let some fresh air when the weather is good and the little feckers sneak in. I have left a trail of dead insects in my wake in my annoyance.
    1 of our 2 newish cats seems to be taking care of the Daddy Long legs this year. Found a dead 1 in the hall yesterday and today. The other 2 never bothered killing them, or even acknowledging their existence.

    I use KII Keyboard as it gives me the option for larger buttons :o

    There is obviously some sort of censorship built in to it as it allows me save most word but not the ones i really want :rolleyes:

    I've had the worst day. I have today off, first in ages. The plan was to sleep in until this evening and get up in time for the soaps. Alas, this was not to be. I woke up to an absolute racket at about quarter past 6. My housemate and his "special friend" were having a domestic and she was crying like a banshee outside my room, I could even hear her snotting. I didn't get back to sleep.

    I decided to head into town go to the bank and pay my rent. Drove to the square where the banks are, and people were double parked so there was no room for others to pass, people with no right of way driving out in front of me, stupid people with inbred heads on them trotting out in front of me, they're lucky I'm such a patient person or I'd have run across them.

    Gave up trying to get to the bank so drove across to the shopping centre, to park and go to ATM. I needed 250, the machine was saying it could only give notes in multiples of 20, so with 260 I set off to find some shop that would break a twenty for two tens. Not a big deal, one would imagine, but then one would be wrong. I went to three different shops and you'd swear I was asking for a kidney, I was met with such a reaction. Unless I was to buy something they can't give change. Da fuq? Buying something with the twenty would not result in me having two tens it'd leave me with one ten and some change.

    I got back to the car after finding someone to give me change, and again, I'm met with dumbasses walking behind my reversing car, walking down the road in front of my car, getting pure agitated when I started sounding the horn at them. By now I was like a bull in the car, said I'd get out of town, get lunch and calm myself. But again, met with nothing but traffic. People who don't understand the rules of the road, people in wrong lanes, trying to butt in in front of me. I uturned in temper and set off back the other way, only to get stuck behind some imbicle that had her indicator on to turn right but sat there waving people out in front of her, and waving people on who stopped to let her turn. I lay on the horn behind her, because there comes a time when one can't be dealing with such idiots. She actually put her hand out through the window with her finger up.
    I hope it rots off her.

    No longer in the mood for lunch, I parked the car in the nearest shopping centre carpark, crossed the road into the shopping centre only for two baaaas to nearly take the two legs from under me with their snotty little brat sitting in a buggy.

    I decided to completely abandon any plans for the day so now I'm sitting in the nearest pub drinking pints of cider trying to quench the burning rage I feel inside me. I'm so annoyed everything is bugging me. West life's album playing, aul ones laughing like hyenas drinking coffee in a pub, my earrings.

    I am not able. **** this day. Knowing my luck and this town ill come back to my car in the morning and my alloys will be gone or something

    On a side note. How long does it take to take a bottle of cider out of a fridge and put a bit of ice in a glass? Standing with a big gawky head on her looking around her.

    There's a 50 on the bar in front of me (cause I'm still waiting on it), keep em comin princess


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,263 ✭✭✭Gongoozler


    One thing that really bugs me about buying drinks is i like to know how much I'm being charged before I hand over money, for several reasons, but you never get told the amount in a pub, and the majority of the time when you ask (you have to ask) they have no idea, and have to go tot it up on the till. Stop making me feel like an inconvenience because I want to know how much I'm paying.

    I find it worse when 'out foreign' a mossy gets in the bedroom...and you get a high pitched BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ when he checks your ear out...get up... lights on and the hunt to search for and destroy the little b*stard begins.

    Stupid whingy emotional .....



    accoustic ..........





    ........... :( ..............





    ..........shhhhh................ versions


    God I've never heard barbie girl sung with such emotion.
    He's not just another pop singer now. He slowed a song down, he's a proper musician.

    Life in......plastic.
    Oh whoa whoa its ...fantastic.
    Thank you, thank you. (sob)

    Ohh there's some fella at it, I heard another slowed down 90's classic on the radio this morning and thought "WTF have they done? That's shìt!" :(

    Rather annoying that I can't remember it now, but it's probably for the best. In the '00's they took 80's classics and put a shìtty beat into them and called it a dance song, now they're taking classics from the 90's and turning them into whining ballads... :rolleyes:

    The more things change, the more they stay the same...

    Frank Sinatra did that with "Fly Me to the Moon", it was written as a very slow ballad originally. The difference being this is Frank Sinatra.

    The fact that I had some trivial annoyance to post about, and I've forgotten what it was.
    These will have to do instead.
    It trivially annoys me when there is a thread about someone well known, say Gay Byrne, almost invariably someone posts 'who's Gay Byrne?'
    Cos that makes them look so cool :rolleyes:

    Going back to the earlier skanger posts, I was at the top of the queue one evening in a shop. Skanger finished at checkout and instead of walking out through the wide open space, which is what it is there for, he headed back towards me, standing in the roped queue section, and said angrily 'whatever you do, don't f**king move'...cos I was in his way y'see... I didn't argue, although I didn't move either.

    Damn it, I still can't remember what it was I wanted to post.

    This seems to be happening in Greys anatomy. Every week I hear a couple of cover versions of 80's/90's songs, usually slowed to a whiney version.

    Lexie - for some strange reason I'm finding the above imagery very funny. Sorry to hear about your day though.

    A top quality rant by the way... hopefully your weekend is a marked improvement!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    I don't get the hatred for lynx, yes they had known scents back in the Africa, Atlantis, Java, voodoo etc days but now they launch new ones so quickly you'd have no idea it's lynx. Sure antiperspirants are the job anyway especially the red one.

    And carrying 7Up bottles! Just look at the next skanger you pass, 2 to 1 says he'll be carrying a 7Up bottle.

    They need to do some serious rebranding.

    I wish that my face and eyes didn't puff up and go red and stay like that for at least 24 hours after, so that I could have a cry when I need it without the consequence of looking like utter ****
