Got up this morning at 6am to see that the paper bin had blown over during the night and rubbish was strewn about our garden, the neighbour's gardens and down the road.

Cue 10 minutes of running around frantically trying to pick up everything.

Then I had to drive into work.

And it's Monday.

6.45 on a Monday morning and I was greeted by dog puke on the kitchen floor.
Start as you mean to go on I always say.

Clean it up when I got up. They've NEVER done it before. Weird

Was it stormy in your area last night? They might have been scared.

Finding out 10 minutes into a 4 mile walk that my trainers aren't waterproof. I just did 2 miles as my feet were soaked. Probably not a smart move for a woman who is on 2 immunosuppresant medications and who hasn't had her flu or pneumonia vaccinations yet.

Could have been it P, it was very stormy. There was one of those plastic child's houses that people have in gardens blowing around the estate this morning. Our dogs are destroyed too so I'm thinking they wouldn't go out in the rain last night to go poo, and the oh wouldn't have made them go out either

Was it a dirty protest? Mine did that before, cos I went out and didn't bring him. Came back cos I forgot something and he was sitting smugly over it, proud of himself.

Still miss him though!

People who cant be quiet as they go about their business. Silence is ok, nice even. But they just dont seem to be able to accept this. They simply have to make some kind of noise/bark some platitude at you as they pass by.

I'll ask him. I told him I was adopting him out on Boards. His response was pretty funny.

X Factor. It's even Friday nights now.
They build these peoples hopes up so much, and if you win, you have a Christmas Number 1, then never heard of again.

The Irish Water twitter page.

I'm not an anti-Irish Water guy per se, but the answers they give out to people's queries really do look like they're trying to hide something. Ask anything at all about PPSN and the response will be "PPSN are needed to allocate resources.", make a genuine complaint about their service and they'll respond with a sarcastic remark, and they seem to have a large variety of stock responses to other queries which really say nothing whilst saying a lot.

"SAFEGUARDING YOUR WATER FOR YOUR FUTURE." - Eh, no. No one's stupid enough to think that this is nothing more than a money making scheme, at least I hope not anyway.....

MsBubbles · 06-10-2014 11:22AM

MJ23 completely agree. It's the kids between 16 and 18. I feel the most sorry for because their hopes are built up and then cruelly dashed.

But it means everything to them. It's their whole world. They dont care about anything else. They dont want anything else. They only want to be famous pop stars. They refuse to do normal jobs and be happy with that. Blah bideee blah blee blah.....

I hate those shows. The obvious editing, the judges crying because they have to break some teenager's heart, the judegs overly surprised/shocked faces when they know the camera is on them. The audience heckling and behaving generally like idiotic sheep, the sh1t cheesy music in the background as someone is told yay or nay. The sob stories. Could write those shows myself

I can't stand that programme. We used to watch the auditions as well, it's a freak show of deluded people and the only bits we could be arsed watching. After the episode with that demented young wan' pretending to be some sort of aristocrat I just couldn't stand it any longer. I doubt we'll ever watch it again now.

I think she got through! Her accent does my head in. I dont mind normal posh accents, in fact I find them quite refreshing since I seem spend my time surrounded by half-tongued bints struggling with monosyllabic utterances, but fake posh accents......raaar

Count me in on that too.
I was in a pub in Blessington village a month back. I forget the name of the pub.:) Everything was fine, as was the Guinness they served, until the lady customer at the bar wanted to know what candidate I was a fan of on X Factor that was on TV, (she inferred I was a fan, like the rest of the pub clientelle) :mad:. I just said 'ye...ye' and nodded sagely all the while.

But ask them anything about current humanitarian crises or economic/environmental issues and they'll ask if they can phone a friend...

I'm annoyed enough listening to those idiots talk about the X-Factor, PLEASE don't make me listen to them talk about stuff that's actually important, I'd probably end up punching them...

B-b-but the X Factor is the most important thing in the world! It means the world to them and it's all they ever wanted!

Maybe we can set up our own judging panel:

After some young fella finishes his vocally gymnastic rendition of some Whitney
Heuston song...

"Nah that was ****e, piss off, next please.."

People who buy 10+ items in a convenience store...

AND then buy some cigarettes, lotto and scratch cards.

While only one till is open

Mr. CooL ICE · 06-10-2014 01:55PM

People who go out of their way to park as close to the entrance as possible.

Where I live, I have to pass a church to exit my housing estate. The church has a small car park for 15ish cars, so when mass is on, the whole road has got cars parked on the side. Whenever I am driving home while a mass is on, there is always somebody who insists on driving into the small sh1tty car park despite passing all the cars parked on the side of the road. And chaos ensues, because there are already another 2-3 holy maries who have tried the exact same thing and are trying to reverse out because they couldn't find a space in there :mad:

My local Dunnes has got a ground level car park with space for ~25 cars and an underground park for about 200+ cars. Whenever I drive in, there are always people queuing for a ground level space and causing chaos when the underground (served by lifts, escalators and stairs) is half-empty.

Dial Hard · 06-10-2014 02:47PM

People who queue to the wrong side of "Please queue this side" signs. The Ulster bank in Liffey Valley seems particularly bad for ATM users who can't fcuking read :mad:

Well, I told him that he was being adopted out on Boards and that some old spinster with 20 cats would probably be the only one to make an offer and take him.

Then he says he could live with that because she would probably need some help, he loves cats and then he could annoy me because he would get to move to Ireland and I would be stuck here in Canada unless I adopt myself out too.

Then he tells me he would call me up on weekends and tell me to look at the Temple Bar webcam so he could wave at me and further annoy me.

I told him it wouldn't be THAT annoying because he would be in Dublin and not Galway.

Then he says ... it is still in IRELAND ... and we laughed.

Yeah he is pretty laid back though he loves to tease the crap out of me.

I suppose it is his way of getting back at me when he was young and I was being the mean old mommy from time to time (single parent and I never had to put myself and my 2 in a tent on the pavement).

OldNotWIse · 06-10-2014 03:06PM

The way people (women mostly) stare at you when you try on a coat in front of a mirror in a shop. wtf is wrong with them? Gawking fúckers. Have they never seen a coat before in their lives? Have they never seen a woman stand in front of a mirror with a coat on? The whole thing just makes me so uncomfortable and then I can't judge the coat properly anyway. Silly slack-jawed morons. Go try on your own coats.
