Trivial things that annoy you Part 43

You haven't had the 'pleasure' of hearing all bout Menopause-The Musical starring Twink.

Sweet suffering Jaysus The Mammy went to see it a few years ago and loved it.
It sounded like my idea of the seventh circle of hell.

Apparently they are Tropical Moments not hot flushes.

They all seem to be the sharing type which makes it worse. There is another who likes to regularly discuss the labours she went through with each of her 3 kids. Another is married to a minister and described one day how she had been bought a onsie with a cat pattern. She delighted in telling us how she puts the hood up and purrs for a laugh.

I nearly boked

Oh FFS. :eek:

I'm a woman (not far off 40 either

) and there's not a hope I would discuss this sort of thing in work. And they're always going for "cuppas", talking about "who's pregnant with twins", and bloody shoes.

Another thing that bothers me is the amount of personal calls made by/ to them.

One recent morning my colleague's family rang her work phone six times before midday! Usually some trivial stuff, like "what's for dinner tonight and will we take the veggie burgers out of the freezer?"; "it looks like rain, will we take the clothes in off the line..."

:rolleyes:

"Labour? don't talk to me about labour!, I was in labour with little Quinine for six weeks, the doctor said I would never walk again! four epidurals they gave me, none worked, Doctor said my downstairs was a medical miracle, oh this was all back in the day, young wans now have it easy, its all solar powered now, in and out, no fuss, dragging a pram up three flights, and it wasn't even my pram. what are you having for your dinner? Meat, jesus its well for you, blah, blah, blah"

Irish people's way of dealing with stuff that annoys them. They either simmer silently and then chew the ear off people who cant help them (the like of Joe Duffy who is, essentially a mere megaphone for the great unwashed) or they become completely irrational and childish and are only short of stomping their feet like kids. I've lost count of the amount of times I've overheard people in banks etc saying, "but that's not right"....um suck it up??? Passive self-entitled gits with a dreadful combination of lowered intellect and indignation. If any of us actually complained the way you are supposed to - you know in an assertive rather than passive aggressive way, I think the country would implode.

Sounds familiar. I made the mistake a few months ago mentioning that my eldest had just started potty training. The words were barely out of my mouth and I got all the details for each of her 3 and she didn't spare the kids blushes either. The fella that sits beside her shot me the dirtiest look as he has worked with her for 10 years and heard it all first time round, poor sod

I doubt it as you said 'work', there isn't to much of that going on around here.

I am well aware of the irony that I am sat here tying on my phone, but I am exempt of all criticism between the hours of midnight and 11.59 pm

The day I come to work in a sleeveless gilet type yoke like the others is the day I should be carted off to the asylum! Although, maybe this IS the asylum.

In a nice comfortable wedge shoe, and a sensible hairstyle:eek:

Sadderday · 25-08-2014 03:29PM

I had a third round interview this morning and I am waiting to hear if I got the job.

Normally, you may have an idea of whether you did or not.

I'm convinced one interviewer like me and the other didn't...

So now I have to wait..... cant even eat !

MsBubbles · 25-08-2014 03:29PM

I hate gilets. even the name g lay annoys me. Probably because it reminds me of the ladies you work with Aglomerado

They took a perfectly good French word for "waistcoat" and twisted it to mean "uniform of Irish Mammies".

Wouldn't worry, I reckon they set up to play good cop bad cop.

I had an interview once and one of the panel sat and looked out the window the whole time the other two asked questions and I responded. He finally looked at me, fired off a trick question, then looked out the window again.

MsBubbles · 25-08-2014 03:35PM

Sadderday Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

But you couldn't possibly wear your security pass because it might ruin your outfit.

The fact that they look something from the blue lagoon obviously doesn't matter.

My lanyard doesn't go with my favourite pink gilet! What to do!!!!!!!!!

I'll get a Navy one. Navy goes with everything. Except black.

MsBubbles · 25-08-2014 03:39PM

Giles, sensible wedge heels, sensible haircuts with either highlights, lowlights floodlights or a combination of all 3 by Franc or Pierre their beloved hairdresser.

You are going to have to stand at the security door and wait for someone who actually wears their pass to open the door. Then you are gonna have to get so close to them go get through the door before it closes that you run the risk of arrest for sexual assault.

There is a guy who works in the IT section at work who wears shorts all year round to show off the tattoo on his calf. There could be a foot of snow and he is in shorts. He is probably one of those ones that complains that its too cold

MsBubbles · 25-08-2014 03:49PM

Buniony feet with frosted chipped pink/bile coloured nail varnish on their toes squeezed into flip flops a size too small.

Crocs, where's the vomiting emoji when you need it !

There was a girl up from IT looking at my computer a few weeks ago. She had to open up the box and take one of the cards out. Bile green nail varnish on her hands and she mauled the circuit board as well, I'm amazed it still works. (Actually, it didn't, after her. I called the IT department again and got a different girl, who actually knew what she was doing.)

MsBubbles · 25-08-2014 03:54PM

ew ew ew ew on the bile green varnish.

Lolz for the emoji.

Ps I forgot to say Franc or Pierre are really Frank and Peter from Dublin but figured out that by giving themselves a 'posh' name they could charge more

Sadderday · 25-08-2014 03:57PM

Thank You for the luck !!!!

CantonasCollar · 25-08-2014 03:59PM

It bugs the life out of me how destructive my 3 year old is. I had thought that we would be able to sell on loads of stuff once she out grew them, but she manages to break 90% of everything she touches.

MsBubbles · 25-08-2014 04:04PM

It's horrible being on tenter hooks waiting to hear about a job.
Very Best of Luck Sadderday
