Just out of school book shop/ lady in front of me goes to till with books, shop assistant puts her books through, lady walks back to shop floor starts picking up copy books, walks back to till, walks away again picks up colouring pencils, walks back asks where are the magazines, walks away again/ I'm next in queue, poor people 5 people behind me!!! Like wtf... Then walks back & says I've to get the book Hamlet, or is it macbeth, shop assistant says it is for 5th year could be merchant of Ennis, no 2nd class she says, he says Romeo & Juliet- she goes ya that's it/ so he goes to shop floor to get that. Back she comes, now she's a science book!!! Are people on another planet couldn't she have handed him a list in the once place.. Anyway this should be trivial but wasn't when queuing with 2 small kids. Eventually she finished & left. Felt sorry for the guy working there, his head was wrecked for sure.

What a cow!!! :mad:

Can't do the onion. I love onion but it doesn't love me anymore which is trivially annoying.

I wonder is that a "getting older" thing?
Foods I love and have always eaten have recently turned against me. Onion, garlic, thyme are the major offenders

I did something like that years ago in a shop.

'are you sure that's the number?' I was asked.
'Oh I am says I, totally sure'
'Positive?'
'oh yeah fire away, that's her alright, no mistaking it'

got home no message to confirm the top-up...checked the receipt.
Wrong fcuking number. Put 20€ on someone elses phone. Dickhead.

As if money isn't hard enough to come by I cant figure out how it hasn't been refunded yet though because I put the right number but the wrong network so it should "bounce" - there wouldn't be anyone on a different network with the same number would there?

Ignorant people who think its fine to insult someone. I work with a howiya. She has a uniform in work, but I'd imagine she dresses in velour track suits and wears hoops in her free time.

She turns around to me today and said "Jesus you look wicked bad, whats wrong with yeh?" Eh, no I don't, I look fine. Being a natural colour instead of being incinerated looking doesn't mean I'm sick. She's one of those girls who you wouldn't know if they were black or white.

And I've replaced two meals per day with protein shakes, because they fill me up and I'm not inclined to snack on ****e during the day. Of course she has to comment on that, telling me that it's not healthy, while she's waiting on her pop tarts to pop out of the toaster in the staff room.

Just out of curiosity, I tried that there (I'm on the Three network, ported over from Vodafone so my number starts with 087) - Not only is someone on 083 with the same number, but also 085 and 086 too!

After that I just stopped because it was too weird and I may get someone calling me later saying they missed a call from me

Cat?:pac:

Its happened again. I was forced to make a lodgement to my bank account and credit card.

At the Bank they refused to take my money at a counter and force me to make a lodgement through the machine, a machine which 50% of the time swallows my money and causes a lot of stress.


At another bank I was told I would be charged for my lodgement... So let me get this straight. I give you cash which you can add to your balance sheet/ short term loan to someone else etc and you are gonna freakin charge me for it even though you are so desperate for money you get it off the IMF ? But dont worry folks, the charge is smaller if you user the self service lodgement machines. Last time one swallowed my money and I didnt get it credited to my account for 2 days. I didnt get to charge them though.

Everytime I have parked in College Green Bank of Ireland for the last few weeks, as I drive towards it there seems to be a permanent road works which holds up the whole street. Later inspections revealed these road works to be not really so massive. If this was Germany they would be fixing a capital main street overnight and have it done in one or two nights max. And they would probably lay steel plates over the holes so that traffic would resume as normal during the day.


Trivial things : Banks and how customer service is a thing of the past, The Irish way of doing things or just passively accepting what they are told about how things should be done. I doubt Bank of Ireland is complaining much about the road works outside it's entrance on College Green. Why should they when they are part of a cosy cartel-like fixed market anyway ?
