    Ads on the telly for broadband. The ones where the mother is talking about it and the rest of the family are like mute zombies who live their lives online. All the ad is missing is showing the husband upstairs in the bathroom pulling the gut out out of himself looking at porn on his ipad.
    The slogan should be
    "Get fibre powered, you'll never have to talk to any of your family again"

    Inconsiderate housemates. They went out last night, 3 lads, and brought 7 (that I could see) girls back. Me being the very patient person I am, got up like the anti Christ, all guns blazing and threathening to kick them out, 2 of my housemates obviously thought I was in need of a hug (don't touch me when I'm mad) and told me they'd sort it. They didn't, but I took two more
    Valium so I didn't hear them after that.

    Until 7 o'clock, when they were moving from room to room calling out for each other. Until almost 8 o clock when one locked the other outside and she started banging on my window to get in. The **** really hit the fan then. I leapt out of bed, and she's all like whispering sorry I woke ya, see you now hun you're lucky if I don't punch your teeth out of your mouth. She's all apologies, and goes back inside. Give it 5 mins til she's screeching for her friend again. Then she's screeching for a lighter. The boys all have their doors locked now. So I got up, grabbed her bag and threw it outside, and then I'm like "you. Out." She's being all sorry again saying one of the lads are going to need to give her a lift home. Sorry babe, not my problem. Out!

    So, currently she's sitting outside with the other one, throwing stones at my housemates window to get him up but I can still hear her, and I'm not happy.

    She has 10 mins to vacate the area or ill be out after her with a stiletto.

    I'm laughing at this, I walk a lot, but without the arm swing ;), or the luminous clothing.
    Many is the time I've been nearly put flying by arm swingers though!

    Even worse are the ones with ski poles, wtf is that about:confused: It really puzzles me when I see them power walking on foot paths with a ski pole in each hand.

    Sheeple. We were in Limerick this morning, didn't know the bus timetable had changed recently until we'd been stood there for 40 minutes. I don't know which of us was grumpier until we got some breakfast, it was like the Snickers ad. We bought a curtain rod which I had to let my husband carry, I didn't trust myself not to slap someone to hurry them up, especially the group of 4 going down the stairs ahead of us in Guineys:D

    People more aggressive than me.

    Was driving down Main Street minding my own business when this clown started sounding the horn at me. Wtf, I'm in a line of traffic I can't go any faster, trust me. I look in rear view mirror and he's so close to me I can't even see his reg. I stick my head out the window to see if its actually me he's sounding at and sure enough it is. A little scrote wearing a paddy cap and looked young enough to be still ****ting green. So, I slow down a little more. There's about 5 foot between me and the car in front of me. This infuriated him altogether and he lay on the horn even more, waving his arms and looking like an ugly little dog trying to get out through the windscreen. So I drove slow down to the bottom of the street and he's so close to me he might as well strapped a saddle onto me and rode me. I stopped at a stop sign and gave way to the car on my left as it had right of way.
    He was flat out with the horn by now, people sitting outside the coffee shop was staring, people on the street were staring.

    My temper was up, so I jumped out of the car and i asked him "problem?!" He starts shouting at me in holla-ease to move the ****in car I was holding him up, what the **** was I at. God love him he was obviously so inbred he couldn't see my car wasnt the only car in front of him and I was in traffic and well if he was too thick to understand that he wasnt worth arguing with. So I just said "no thanks, I'm alright for carpet and Tarmac at the moment" and got back into the car, and crawled on another little bit before I had to make a right turn. When I turned off, he stopped the van to shout about out after me but I've no idea what he was saying.

    I'm rattling with temper

    Getting a wedding invitation preceded by "even though we weren't invited to your wedding".
    Straight in the bin. Knobs.

    Jeez, that was a tacky thing for them to put on an invitation. Maybe you could just send an 'even though we didn't attend your wedding' card, obviously you wouldn't put any money in the card or send a gift:D

    They didn't put it on the invite, just said it as it was handed to me.
    As if they deserve a fooking medal from everyone they invite. When we got married we got married for ourselves and did not do anything to please anyone else, I wish more people would have the balls.

    We kept almost managed to keep our wedding a secret. But a couple of days before it my husband let it slip to his mother so we had his family there and none of mine, must've looked odd. We had planned on it just being the 2 of us at the registry office. In a way I'm disappointed that they were there but I know my husband loved having them there.

    My own family don't talk about it, I'm the only girl and my husbands step dad walked me down the aisle, didn't go down well with my folks since they feel aggrieved at not being invited. We still went all out on the clothes though, Mr P had a frock coat and silver topped cane and I had my big meringue dress:D

    Our wedding was a proper secret, the only people who knew about it were the 15 guests.
    My sister was the only family member from either family who was there.
    People were pissed off but we're married nearly a year now and everyone has gotten over it except my brother and his wife, who have never spoken to us about it but have bitched to everybody else. Whatevs.

    I had a big flouncy dress too, much to everyone's surprise. The looks I got when I first walked into the room :pac:

    I would accept it, for a couple of weeks and then decline, telling them you had a better offer, from someone who you had invited to your wedding.....:D

    Knobs is right. Why the heck would anyone hand out an invitation, in such an ungracious manner. :confused:

    I'm in great humor all week, not one things got on my nerves in at least three days.


    That in itself is annoying me, that I'm turning into one of those cheerful people I despise
    Inconsiderate housemates. They went out last night, 3 lads, and brought 7 (that I could see) girls back.

    They're definitely the kind of people who are getting married for the attention, and not for the actual marriage itself. There's a lot of that going around these days.

    It's probably something to do with Operation Transformation anyway.

    On a related note, it really irks me the way the media are constantly handing out vapid "advice" / writing articles and "tips" which tell older people to get fit and healthy by f__king walking! If they really want to be fit and healthy, they should be building up to something a lot more strenuous than fcuking walking, no matter what age they are! Such perpetuated drivel.

    At a masquerade ball tonight! photographer took pictures off all the other girls and smiled at me

    obviously his lens would totally crack if he pointed it in my direction.

    Trivially annoyed but glass of wine in hand :-)

    Yep, a LOAD of that going around.
    I think invite who you want, don't invite who you want, wear red, black, green, just do it your way, make yourself happy! That's what we did and I danced until 5am (while my husband watched a movie on his laptop in the bridal suite from around 4am waiting on me lol) and didn't stop laughing all day.

    People attacking me when I try to climb into bed with them. Hold on now, let me explain myself! :pac:

    So when I go home, I have to stay in my sisters room. I usually go to bed much later than her, so when I finally do go to bed, I try to creep in quietly to not wake her. Every single time she hears me, she has a complete freak out. She sits straight up in the bed likes she's possessed and starts screaming the house down and flailing her arms like a mad woman, half awake, half asleep. I have to turn on the light and explain that it's me. The last time this happened I got a right hook straight in the mouth, so I have been sleeping on the couch since.

    More recently, I have been going to bed much later than OH because of badminton and college work. The last three times he has actually chased me out of the room. No word of a lie. A few nights ago, he started roaring and then scrambled towards me. I nearly killed meself half running/half falling down the stairs to get away from him. :pac: Thankfully he realised it was me and not some crazy mofo.
    Last night, I threw my shoe in from a distance to wake him up. He started barking at me and then he started laughing and then he said he was sorry. Weirdest thing ever. I got into bed safely but when I asked him about it this morning, he could remember nothing......
    My sister is the same, she never remembers her mid-night freakouts.

    I'll just have to be less of ninja when getting into bed or more of a ninja? :confused: Does this happen to anyone else? :confused:
