    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.

    Arrived to work once to realise I only had a vest on under my coat

    Indeed, doesn't a C3 in an honour subject count as as "honour". Congratulations, you managed a thoroughly average performance in a memory test.

    Cycled into work this morning at a decetn pace(16KM), the following sequence of annoying things:
    - the shower in work was in use, had to join a Q, so I sat at my desk and dripped sweat and stank for a few minutes.
    - realising when you are in the shower that where it is based in the office, I'm nekkid and a couple of feet away from a large population.
    - coming out of the shower room, but still with a thin layer of sweat due to the heat that built up in the small room.
    - i left a mug with some hot chocolate on my desk lest night, so I went to give it a wash and get a fresh mocha in the canteen. While washing the mug, the f*cking handle snapped off, and tore a massive big cut in my thumb. As the blood is still pumping from the exercise this morning, there is alot more blood than normal, so I'm trying to control that, clean up the blood that is everywhere, all the while there is a girl standing beside me trying to put a tiny plaster on my thumb. I was trying to explain that I want to clean it, stop the blood flow and then i'll put a plaster on it.
    - sore thumbs
    - cleaning up your own blood
    - putting a plaster on yourself

    Off topic but mini mexican wave in celebration of the fact that my husband got a job! He hasn't worked since Waterford Crystal shut up shop a good few years ago now so he went back to college and got his Honours Degree in Manufacturing Engineering and he's just after getting a job in exactly the area he wants to work in :D )


    Congratulations to your husband drawkcab! :)


    I love hearing success stories like that... after putting me in a good mood now, annoying - I'm more productive when I'm angry :pac:

    Is it the fact they put it on facebook that annoys you?, or the fact they only got nine honours and two passes?

    Arriving back into work after pounding the pavements on a coffee run only to notice that the side of your bag has caught hold of the side of your dress and pulled it right up, meaning you have been flashing your 'side-bum' to all and sundry.

    Similar to realising that your fly is undone. My life falshes before me as I try to work out how long it has been down for and who might have noticed. I then spend the rest of the day in a paranoid state, continually checking it and most likely looking to others like I am trying to cop a feel of myself.

    Lemmings at pedestrian crossings. One person, most likely someone who knows the lights and knows when it is safe to cross on a red man will cross and a load of people will drop off the kerb and follow blindly, nearly getting themselves killed in the process

    Do guys say baby in day to day surroundings? I've never been called baby except for in bed. I'd be really weirded out if he came home bein all like "hi baby". Ugh. I use babe when I'm being condescending, so it wouldn't be a "pet name".
    "Did you change the sheets/fix my laptop/put out the bins? No? Oh right, cheers babe! I'll do it myself". Honey, I'd use sometimes but it's mostly bastardjaws tbh

    My oh and I are the same we don't use our nicknames in public but I do find the baby and sweetheart ones creepy, so he's bigspoon and I'm little spoon because I'm shorter then him and like cuddling (he overheats easily too)

    Checking your boss's diary first thing in the morning and finding that they have NO meetings at all for the day. Go away from me and leave me in peace. And now she has decided not to go for her regular morning coffee. Le sigh

    There is a gaggle of this type in my place, the table they sit at in the canteen is by the vending machines. So at lunch they spend thier time drooling at whatever comes out of the machine between eating pieces of cardboard and leaves. Everything that comes out of the machine is also commented on.
    Fair play to them for eating healthy and all that, but no need to bring me and my eating habits into it.

    Trying to get off a phone call to my mother.

    'I know you're in work so I'll be quick' - Its NEVER quick

    'Just one more thing to tell you' - Its NEVER just one more thing

    'I'll let you go now' - The call is usually still going strong up to 5 minutes after these words have been spoken

    'Did I tell you.....' - Yes, you've already told me that at least 3 times

    ...and so forth

    Kindly fcuk right off you fcuking daft fcukers!


    THANK YOU for bringing this, the worst ever but not daft fcukers - absolute fcukers!! Private directory enquiry companies IMO are the most non transparent, highly profitable, rip-off industry out there today. It costs €2.79 per call to the above company plus €2.79 per minute thereafter. So should you accept the operators offer to put you through and your call lasts ten minutes then the call costs €27.90.

    The TV advertisements are obliged to provide in small writing, information for ten seconds on their initial charges including terms and conditions etc, but people are being duped and remain unaware of the costs (until their phone bill arrives) - and apart from the astounding initial cost for getting a number, the more blantant misgiving is that at no stage during a call does the operator advice you of the cost implications of accepting the offer of being put through.

    The media for the last year has rightly bashed payday lenders, but this is equally a deceitful, obsequious, contemptible and abhorrent industry that should have its wings clipped.At least on the adverts for Pay Day lenders you have a bit of a clue what you are getting into, but not with these of modern day Robbin Hoods and their really dopey adverts (clever because the number is drummed into you), whose adverts are aimed at people seeking the handy option without fully realsing the cost implications, and if they were made more aware would be instead Googling on their smartphone or using the old fashioned way of looking up their free local directory.

    Oh god my heads wrecked. I'm babysitting today. Anyone who knows me would be absolutely horrified at the thoughts of it. I am not a baby person at all. But kids seem to like me for some reason. Probably because I'm not much taller than them. But anyway. I'm minding my cousins 1 year old since 8:30 this am. I was still in my Jammies when she arrived and do you think I've got a minute to myself?
    She comes with me when I go to the bathroom, she wanted to get into the shower with me, I went outside to hoover my car and she stood at the door crying for me to come back. I turned on cartoons for her and she'll only watch them if I'm sitting down with her.

    Da fuq? Can't cope! How do people do this 24/7? I'd be in a physc ward

    I have no choice but to be near these people while they eat because it's a small office so my break time goes something like this:
    "Oooh I made this new low fat recipe last night (mouth noises, snorting).
    Yeah it was really nice, low fat so you know, obviously really healthy (mouth noises, snorting, generally being loud, slurping tea and the like).
    I'm trying to be good this week so that's why I made it (that's why I'm eating a portion of fruit and low fat yoghurt big enough for at least 2 people with rich tea light biscuits crumbled on top because you know, it's healthy because I've managed to cram both "low fat" and "light" into that dish).
    I couldn't eat what you eat 26sdrawkcab (mouth noises, snorting, generally being loud, slurping tea and the like).
    Me: why is that?
    Oh those nuts are just so full of fat (mouth noises, snorting, generally being loud, slurping tea and the like).
    Me: and your point?
    Well they're really fattening.
    Me: again, fat content does not equal fattening :rolleyes:
    I think I'll have a cup of coffee and 2 more rich tea light biscuits because I was really good with my fruit and yoghurt (mouth noises, snorting, generally being loud, slurping tea and the like).

    I'd rather eat food that's tasty and food that I enjoy instead of eating cardboard and keeping the sugar train chooing chooing away.

    You also get running commentary from one of them of every single move they make
    Just going to take my break now.
    Ooooh what's that in the fridge?
    Just going to boil the kettle.
    Oh where's my cup.
    Oh there's my cup.
    Oooh what are you having?
    Just going to sit down here now.
    Oh wait I need a spoon.
    etc. etc.
    This is the same person who does the slow message taking on the phone.
    It fills me with the rage.

    Never mind threads, have you seen the actual size of the spiders this year? They need their own country!

    There was one in my shed at the weekend.

    He was so big, that I've now started thinking of it as his shed.

    3 huge spiders in our bathroom since the beginning of September. It doesn't help that our bathroom is unfinished (not for much longer) so there's loads of hidey holes for them in there.

    Nothing will ever top the rat in our bathroom 3 years ago. He was hiding in the space under the shower and I was having a wee and he peeped out from under the shower and when I screamed like a small child he scurried back in.
    Rats scurry, they own that word.
