We spoil Tiger rotten cos he's a rescue. Don't think he'd be too impressed if a dog arrived in our house.

I've heard it said that once you go black you'll never go back. Didn't know the same applied to gingers:pac:

When I was home at the weekend one of the two kittens my dad recently acquired was killed by one of the dogs. It was a bit awkward when my 9yr old neice came after lunch and said she wanted to go out and see the kittenS.

wedding bands (the musical type, not the rings)

much rather see a good local band who play their own music or whatever, rather than a bland cover band

Some wedding bands are crazy money too!

The FTSE, the ISEQ index of Irish Shares, the Dollar, the Yen… Market updates on the radio piss me off.

Nobody with a genuine interest in market investments needs to tune into RTÉ or Newstalk to get up-to-the-minute data relayed to them.

Apparently financial markets updates began in the 1980s, with the emergence of the yuppie generation, and the lack of readily accessible market information.

But we have the internet these days. Does any serious financial professional sitting at their Bloomberg terminal, or the working man on his blackberry, truly need these?

Waste of time. Really pointless.

It sure is

. I have a daughter with beautiful red hair. With all the crap ginger hating stuff on Facebook etc, she hates her hair. I relented and let her get a few blonde highlights, which look lovely. Now she is damning me to let her get her hair dyed brown. Trivially annoying, especially when she can't see how fabulous her hair is:'(

Tell her brown hair over ginger looks terrible. She will thank you for not letting her do it in a few years.

Ah yeah, I keep telling her after a few weeks she will have ginger roots and it'll look God awful. And she needn't think I'm forking out for her to keep getting regrowth coloured. But sure I'm an aul wan, what do I know!!

MsBubbles · 16-10-2014 09:25PM

73Cat can you bring her to a hairdresser (who you have spoken to previously ) to rave about how lovely your daughter's hair is and she'd be mad to dye it ?
I spend a fortune on hair dye to get Red Hair I'm mousy brown

Frynge · 16-10-2014 09:58PM

New staplers not having a de-stapler on the aRse of it.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 16-10-2014 11:10PM

Going doing the food shopping after eating, because then I only buy healthy things because I've no cravings so its all fish and veg and fruit and that sort of rubbish. I actually thought to myself as I walked passed the Pringles and chips and dip "oh no, I wouldn't like those now at all".

Now I'm home and I'm HANGING for sugar, chocolate and maybe some Pringles and have to make do with an apple.

It's also trivially annoying watching something on tv that has a break in between shows (for example, I'm watching crimestoppers, it was over at 10 and the updates back on now) and just to kill time I flick the channels and get so into the new programme I'm not even arsed to check back in but I really want to watch both at the same time. Need more eyes

It's kinda trivially annoying when you're a teen to have random people tell you not to dye your hair because it's red.

Super glad I didn't dye it now, though!

Reebrock · 16-10-2014 11:50PM

Playing with your cat, it's all very cute. Then your cat bites you hard and you shout at it. It runs away. You're left feeling rejected and sad.

Pumpkinseeds · 17-10-2014 09:25AM

I have to get my hair cut and coloured today, usually I enjoy that, but today I'm exhausted and could do without spending 2 hours sitting in the hairdressers. It was so hard to get out of bed today, haven't slept well all week.:(

OldNotWIse · 17-10-2014 09:38AM

When you're sitting on those fold down seats on the luas and there is a free one beside you. Someone gets on and walks over to take the free one. Grand. But then they kind of falter and shuffle a bit as if they are waiting for you to do something? wtf is that about? Do you want me to get up? Move over? Hold it down for you? I'm not going to do any of those things. I'll happily let you stand there like a gobshíte though, if that's what you want.

Mine is between ginger and blonde, mum used to call it "strawberry blonde" which I am not sure of tbh, but I got some slagging too, mostly from secondary school bítches who picked on my hair 'cause they were jealous of the face :P Dyed it jet black when parents were out one day...and permanent too! Ended up with black hair and blonde roots, looked terrible. And stuck with a passport photo of this look for ten years too!

When someone wants something from you and comes and hovers at your desk and looks expectantly at you, as if you're supposed to divine what they want from their actions

Also people who dress up their stories with drivel. Distill it down to the material facts fúckers! Same people who drone on and on way after they've passed the point. For example, you're looking for a stapler:
A: have you got a stapler I could borrow
B: No (note, this is where the transaction ends in my head). I had one here before. Now it's gone. I don't actually know where it is.
A: OK no probs sure thanks anyway
B: Yeah...I wish I could help you. What do you need it for? (one of the most infuriating questions ever - knowing what I need it for is not going to make one appear). I really wish I knew where it was. Did you try asking C? C might have one. Or maybe D? Actually I think I saw D with one before. ...sorry now...sorry. I hope you find one, I thought I had one here...
A: bang bang

sunshine and showers · 17-10-2014 11:26AM

I didn't want to get out of bed today. Found it difficult too! Well now I'm late for work. Hope those extra few minutes of crappy sleep were worth it past me. :mad:

OldNotWIse · 17-10-2014 11:43AM

Have to try to impress someone today. The decided dress, THE dress...wasn't dry. Had to settle for more figure-hugging one. Slightly too low in the front. Have to put up with freaks I dont want having a gawk,while the intended victim target probably wont bat an eyelid. Ok, I can do this. Just hand over the magic pants. Oh they're not dry either. Now I have to wear a figure-hugging dress with no magic pants. Faaaaair enough. Can I do it with a scowl though? But guys like more....right?

Has anyone got a burka?

...no but I have a stapler? :mad: :pac:

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 17-10-2014 12:02PM

ONW!! That song tho!!

I had it in my head all last week and now it's back from the video! Love it but its soooooooo catchy.

My trivial annoyance this morning is when you spend ages on your hair, straightening it, back combing it, tying it up real high, taking it down, tying it up until its perfect, then getting to work only to see loads of wispy bits falling down at the back, and having no bobby pins or no hair brush grr

Severe bouts of sneezing!

I'm not allergic to anything as far as I'm aware, but jesus my body is gone like jelly after that last seven-in-a-row! :eek:

(I was counting them after the first five-in-a-row thus morning when I could swear I blew out what little brains I have left!)
