Clumsiness/stupid ideas. I put the hot glass plate from the combi/microwave, into the sink and ran the cold tap, without thinking about it, and of course the fricking thing smashed.

Mrs Bap went out a few weeks ago and got herself a lovely glass butter holder thing. This morning I decided to wash it with boiling water to get all the butter traces off it. Smashshy crack crack. She is not pleased with me.

You are not expected to pack at the til, that's what the bench behind the checkout area is for

The staff are timed on how fast they scan, its part of their performance measurement

I'm more than a little trivially annoyed that Hotfail.com closed his account and I didn't see his pm in time to say goodbye.

Bye-bye Hotfail, if you see this. I'll miss your posts.

He had near 3k posts in just a couple of months, I'm sure he'll be back. Hopefully anyway

I'm annoyed and conflicted over breaking a promise. I tore into a girl a close friend of mine was friends with. There was bad blood between me and her for ages but she got full of whiskey on Monday night and started mouthing at me. That was fine, I have an acid tongue and gave just as good as I got. After all was said, they got up to go to the smoking area. They were absolutely ages so i go out, for the craic, and I stand listening. As We're the only people left in the pub, it's not hard to hear what they're saying and they're not holding back either as clearly they think I'm nowhere nearby.

To be fair to my friend, she didn't do much of the mouthing, but she engaged the other girl, she contributed a little but mostly stood there laughing. I walked out of there, said nothing at the time but text her when I got home and told her she was a snake. She was all apologises, saying we've done worse to each other and that she was sorry but that it was better off forgotten about. I told her to gwan with herself I was done with her.

Thing is - she's going to a wedding this weekend and the past two months she's asked me to do her tan/makeup/hair for the wedding. I know she doesn't have a lot of money so going to get it done else where isn't really an option.

I'm conflicted on whether to do it even though she's a snake, because I did promise, or let her go to the wedding looking like crap. I'm annoyed with myself that I'm even entertaining doing it still, but a promise is a promise

In the words of Bart Simpson "wait until she sees the second rate job I do "

Ordering a rake of food cause you're starving then it arrives and there's so much of it it's daunting and puts you off so you're not hungry anymore and there's a mountain of food

I've nobody but myself to blame. The worst part is that it'll be a week before the replacement arrives and we use it a lot as it's got an oven and a combi oven on it. The combi is great for roasting chicken and cooking pizza.

Random game irritation here:
I have 3 families currently in play in The Sims 4. What I just discovered was that if I leave one lot of sims to go play another family, the ones not in play progress without you! For example, my first Legacy family were just a guy and a girl who was heavily pregnant at my last save. I got to play another family, come back to my Legacy sims and what happened in the interrim? The girl had the baby, got married and named the child KEON. WHE THE FUQ, EA/MAXIS? This was not what I planned! :mad:

Every time someone says "retard" there has to be one person with those videos about not using the word while they have no problem with the word idiot.

When you've done everything you can to make your boyfriends birthday special and you end up feeling completely neurotic as you feel like it wasn't enough.

When your chess loving roommate offers to teach you chess and you lose a coupletimes in a row and feel stupid and carp especially as they got bored and went to do something else. I know I'm not going to be good after a decade of little practice and a few days giving.it ago but I still want to at least entertain him even if I feel stupid for always losing

Is there anything more annoying than hair ties? Ones that aren't strong enough. Ones that can't be found. Ones that snap under a bit of pressure. Ones that lost their elasticity so they don't keep the hair tied up.

And where do they go? There's like 50 in a packet. How can there not be one lying about somewhere? Where do they all go? It's 10 past 4 and I can't sleep with my hair down. I snapped my last good one tonight. And now I'm just back in bed from having searched the car for one, and nope. None.

When I read 'sic' I look as what has been quoted and most of the time I can't see the mistake.

In other news I was about 3 miles down the road this morning on the way to work when I realised I was in my slippers and had to swing her around and go back for a change of footwear.

Our estate is frequented by loud, shrieking seagulls, attracted by the fact that many of us chuck our stale bread out for them. However, there is one family who basically empty all of their food waste on the green area in the guise of feeding the seagulls. This morning there were carrot ends, the hard bit of a piece of sweetcorn and a load of potato skins which the seagulls couldn't be less interested in. I wish I could confront them but their youngest son who lives with them is an absolute head the ball who has been in prison a number of times for drug-dealing and assault. So instead I will rage on this thread about them

cletus van damme · 11-09-2014 08:54AM

people saying irish people are so fat and everywhere else the people are so lithe and sexy.

anyway I work in dublin city centre and lately running into many tourists and foreign student.

They arent any slimmer than the irish folk I see -
do these countries export their fat people?

The absolute bollox of antagonism between iPhone users and android really grinds my gears. My phone is better than yours NAH NAH NE NAH NA!

Do people not realise that you are being supremely ripped off by huge conglomerates, which have been offering the same product for the last number of years tweaked bit by bit at even more inflated prices.

It would have been laughable ten years ago to imagine the vast majority of people would be prepared to pay 500 euro for a 6 inch bit of plastic. It’s simply ludicrous.

I feel your pain Vel.
Hope it all gets sorted out for you soon. Our hassles went on for nearly 3 years and my husband no longer speaks to his only brother because of the trouble he caused.

That the people I work with are constantly late.

On 1st September roadworks began on the route that 3 of us (including me) take to work. The roadworks were well advertised for 2 weeks prior to them beginning so everyone had plenty of notice. Despite the fact that I drive a motorbike and would generally be able to avoid any major delay, I have made the effort to leave 15 minutes early every morning to make sure I am in on time. All last week the other 2 that use that route were a few minutes late in the morning but this week they have been 10-15 minutes late each morning. This morning one of them arrived in at 9:30!

The other 2 people that I work with have been 15 minutes late every morning since the schools went back at the end of August.
Why can't people organise themselves??
