    People who only wait for you to finish speaking so they can start, often buttoning up their remarks with "I this.." or "I that.." making it clear they are only interested in hearing themselves speak.

    people who walk backwards in cafes without looking, usually when you are carrying a hot drink

    people who weave on the footpath
    i sometimes say to them if you can't walk fast, walk straight

    Blueberries, or more specifically, my mother's obsession with blueberries. About a year ago she decided to start adding blueberries to her breakfast and since then every single time I see her she insists on telling me how much she loves them, how good they are for you and how great they taste. Jesus, give it a rest mother, I get it, you really like blueberries but I won't be rushing out to buy any for myself.

    A few sociables!!

    My boyfriend bought me a ring today. I hate jewellery usually but fell in love with this ring. It's a rose gold band, tiny diamonds each side of a morganite stone. And now I have to wait 6-8 weeks for it to arrive :(

    I'm not built for that sort of suspense. Why can't I have or now :(

    I could make allowances if cows were falling out of the sky, or hailstones made of acid but surely Irish people are used to that thing we call rain by now

    I sometimes think it is acid the way they go on. "Go outside? What? But I dont have an umbrella! I'll get wet. Um...maybe I'll wait for it to stop...." - wtf? Yeah so you'll get wet and guess what? You'll be inside again in less than two minutes and then you'll dry. And your hair will actually look better because you'll get a lovely natural wave in it - the one you bet out this morning with the straightener and hairspray :P

    People (ok, my OH mostly) who insist on saying "in your opinion" every time I express a view on any subject.


    Of course it's 'in my opinion", who else's opinion would I be expressing?

    Can we just take the 'in your opinion' bit as being read?

    Oh yes, my mother is obsessed with telling me about 'superfoods' of which blueberries are one. Every single time I see her she manages to mention superfoods in some way. I have perfected the art of looking like I am listening while being completely zoned out

    People judging me unnecessarily! A stray that adopted us has just had kittens (she was pregnant when she arrived) but anyone that I ask if they want a kitten says, "get her neutered!" -with one even hinting that she should have been done anyway - "er...sorry our pro-life stance extends to er...felines" weirdy awkward moment - no kitten for you! ffs :( All our animals are neutered. Everything that comes in is neutered. Even my dad and brother sleep with one eye open in case they get their man bits cut off in their sleep :P

    Grrrr. Dimbulbs who use this frankly hideous trendy expression thinking it means "weird". :mad:


    <The Australian Outback. Nothing moves in the 50-degree heat, Ayers Rock shimmers in the distance under the searing sun. Pan left to a dusty, tumbledown shack with a couple of battered Land Cruisers parked outside. An elderly Aborigine man sits whittling on the little porch. It is of course the English Department of the University of Barrawallonga, with Prof. Jim "Crocodile" Goose head of the faculty>

    Now listen ya Pommie Bastads. "Being John Malkovich" is "meta". Markup-languages like XML and HTML are "meta". "Meta" means self-referential by nature. Thinking about thinking. Feeling about feeling. Data about data. It does not furkan-well mean "weird". If I hear one more trendy little cunnox calling things "meta" or "random" I'll tear the heads off 'em and shoite down their neck! :mad:

    Same, we had a stray dog wander in pregnant. Heavily pregnant at that, obviously dumped. Brought her to the vet, he checked her out and said she was okay, and said she didn't have to be brought back and told me what to look out for that might suggest she was having a difficult labour ( she was tiny and we didn't know who the daddy was) and if she was then we were to call a vet.

    The amount of people who'd judge you for saying she was due pups, you'd swear I was telling them I was beating her with an electric cattle prod. And the "you need to bring that dog to the vet! Heavily pregnant bitches need constant checkups" from people who had nothing only male dogs.

    I wouldn't mind but the dog and the puppies were fed of the best (puppy formula, liver, cottage cheese, fresh meat) and I was living on noodles from aldi. Way to make someone feel like sh1t.

    Although I am glad to hear that this is their response as opposed to 'why didn't you just drown them' which seems to be a great solution in some quarters to the 'problem' of unwanted litters of kittens and pups

    I've booked an appointment with the dentist in the morning. I'm dreading it, I've never needed to have a tooth extracted or many fillings but my teeth are aching for some reason and I could really do without having any teeth pulled. Was hoping to get my hair cut and coloured on Friday, now that depends on how much the dentist charges tomorrow.:(

    Seems the perfect solution for getting rid of those who advocate it :(

    Dunnes have Christmas decorations instore today:eek:, it's mid October, at least let us get Halloween done before we move onto Christmas. I passed by a betting shop and they had a bin bag full of Christmas decorations sitting in the window, so they must be planning on putting them up soon. Putting the Christmas stuff up so early is what gives so many of us Christmas spirit fatigue long before Christmas arrives.

    I spent 10 minutes behind a car today that should have indicated 9 or 10 times in the time I was behind it but didn't bother his bollix to do it once. No lights on either on a dark and drizzly day.

    At least he'll be able to say that the indicators are as good as new when he goes to sell it.

    This year for a change I actually have all my Christmas shopping done! Usually I'm doing it the night before Christmas Eve as its guaranteed late night shop, and I'm wrapping like a woman possessed on Xmas eve. This year I'm going to have it wrapped before Halloween, I'm going to be cool calm and collected and drunk on Christmas Eve like a normal person and not be a stressed out ball of stress.

    Lexie on Rale I'm with you. If the company pays us on 12 December like last year I have to make a month's wages last 7 weeks. So I really need to get my shopping done asap.

    The best Christmas we ever had was the one when we both only had 2 days off so couldn't travel to spend Christmas with our families. We both finished work on Christmas eve and as soon as we got home we changed into our pajamas and stayed in them til it was time to go back to work. I can highly recommend Christmas dinner eaten on a tray on the sofa while in your pajamas.:D
