I hope not! No eggs here so far, we live in a nice estate though so hopefully there's none of that.

We had one but I wasn't home at the time. Everyone I was talking to about Halloween said they were going to leave the outside lights off and not answer the door :eek:

No, not so much egging in these parts, nowadays;). We used to keep the eggs for weeks, put a hole in them with a pin. Jesus, the stink off them then, when you threw them, hahahaha!

Aww! Where's the fun in that?! There's a rake of little kids in our estate. Nice kids. We've been buying stuff for ages for Halloween night. We put it all into a massive bowl and whoever knocked just took whatever they wanted from the bowl. Apart from those kids who arrived by car. They got apples, oranges and Capri suns. Feck that.
We don't have kids but me and the oh carved a pumpkin. We made it look like it was getting sick.

My kids are way beyond trick or treating, but they will still talk about the "good" houses they went to, and the stingey ones, who pretended to be out, and wouldnt answer the door. For the sake of a few quid, you could make a good night for some kids....who will remember it.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 01-11-2014 02:41PM

We were never allowed go trick or treating as kids. We used to have a massive Halloween party though and our friends would come over so I never felt like we missed out.

Pumpkinseeds · 01-11-2014 03:53PM

I'm annoyed about the exaggeration of the numbers who marched in the local water protest march locally today. They're claiming 1200 showed up, we passed it while it was going on and I doubt there were even half that number.

Yup, you sure will! I actually consider this thread to be the one where I am the most 'real me'. It is great to know there is a whole hape of curmudgeonly, easily irritated people out there, just like me;)

shruikan2553 · 01-11-2014 11:59PM

I hate it when children are off from school. The streets are filled with parents and their herds of children they are unable to control. Oh look, it is walking slowly, zig zagging so you cant get past and stopping suddenly. Yay, one just walked into me because it cant see more than 1 foot away.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 02-11-2014 01:32AM

I've been annoyed all day.

I went to the gym with E today. He's been doing this whole fitness thing his whole life. He played GAA, he plays rugby, he goes to the gym every day, he does cardio, he lifts weights at home, he runs. If I have a dream that I exercised, I'd probably have a cramp for the day. We have two very different mindsets when it comes to exercising. Today, he stood next to me and kept pushing at me and pushing at me, to the point where I thought I was going to vomit.

Afterwards, we relaxed in the jacuzzi, he kept lecturing me on how important it is not to drink while 'training' although what I'm supposed to be training for, I don't know. We went out to the hydropool then, and the strap of my stupid swimsuit kept snapping and almost exposing myself.

When we got into the proper pool, E kept trying to force me to do mad ****. I'm not a good swimmer, he worked as a lifeguard for a couple of summers when he was in college. I don't like having my face underwater, yet there he is trying to get me to touch the pool floor with my hands.

I got out of the pool and was waiting about ten minutes for a mother and her two tiny kids to vacate the only 3 showers in the changing room. "Catch the bottle Stephen." *crash* "Stephen I told you to catch it." "Oliver, have you washed your hair? Are you sure you've washed all the shampoo out?" FFS.

I haven't been sober this long in a long time. It's 4 days but the longest 4 days ever. My OH was going out tonight, with his other brother (polar opposite to that hitler in shorts) he kept trying to get me to drink with them. I said I wasn't drinking, he contradicted me and told me being sober is "only a phase" I'm going through.

My cousin then called over when the xfactor was on, and talked the whole way through it so I missed most of it. Now she's wrecking my head texting because her boyfriend is out and she's paranoid. There's only so much "I text him twice why didn't he reply" I can deal with.

And I'm getting texts informing me about a friends baby having wind, farting in his sleep, crying, needing calpol (2.5ml as if I give a ****) and how he only likes to sleep on her chest.

Like I would literally rather **** in my hands and clap than listen to that.

And on top of all that, I'm in a snot with my best friend because I had such a rubbish day, she's in a snot with me because she thinks I ignored her last night and today, I said I was busy and she actually said "busy doing what? What has you busy?" The actual ****? Oh so you can only be busy and your time only matters if you have a child. How could anyone else have any other priorities?

I need a bottle of wine

People who are not home-owners who took the water protests as an excuse to claim their stance as activists, but instead spent their time taking loads of selfies and posting to facebook.

There is a couple I know, also included in the group above that irritate the sh*t out of me. They live in the house of one of the parents and don't know what a bill is, so the water charges dont mean a thing to them. But everything they do, absolutely everything they do, is to try to get famous. The amount of times I get requests to vote for whatever modelling competition yer wan is in is ridiculous.

I know it's how they choose to live their life, but being at every event and trying to take selfies with semi famous people is not my idea of living.

Rubberlegs · 02-11-2014 11:40AM

Awake and up far too early with the youngest.
Blinded by the sun, and got wet feet hanging out the washing. The new clothes pegs I bought last week, kept snapping, and flying off the line.
Realised no bread in the house, and had to go to the shop. Thought Sundays were meant to be relaxing:'(

Interrupting perfectly ok conversations to tell me her child is moving its mouth. Definately taking after her so.

Mr_Spaceman · 02-11-2014 02:01PM

Asking for a pint of, say, Guinness, and it gets doled out in another branded beer glass. In certain pubs with half arsed/dense staff.

Either pour the stout into a Guinness glass or a plain one. The fcuk do I want to drink my black stuff out of a Carlsberg glass, you moron!

An utterly trivial annoyance that really rips my knitting.

Pumpkinseeds · 02-11-2014 02:12PM

The depressing conversations women over 60 tend to have when they meet at bus stops. It's like a competition to see who has the saddest news and generally involves death and illness, seemingly the more gruesome the better.

Hate when horrible dreams stay with you

Last night I dreamt I shaved the hair off my head.
I have long hair, and there is no way ,never, would I do such a thing, yet in the dream, there I am staring back at my baldy head :eek:

dellas1979 · 02-11-2014 02:37PM

I thought I was going to explode at the shopping center yesterday. I couldnt handle it (loss to the shop keepers!).

Full of babies, toddlers, and buggies. It really was like a Jumpin' Jims. Of course this part of society has to venture to shop, but c'mon. A shopping center isnt a jumpi; jims. If let loose children are roaming like cattle around the place, knocking into me, how is it my fault (lots of dirty looks from parents after lil Jimmy walked into me or I nearly trod on 'em).

How can trying to control 2/3/4 children "shopping" be enjoyable for a) the parents, b) the children, c) the people who've to dodge them and listen to them scream. I dont get it.

Also, was trying on a pair of shoes, and a sulky teenage stood infront of the mirror as I was looking at them. I says to her "Good job standing right infront of the mirror". She hoofed off in a strop.

I was in dunnes stores Tuesday evening (I think) with a trolley. These two little brats were racing up and down the aisles. The first and second time I saw them run towards me, I stopped so I wouldn't hit them with the trolley. The third time, I didn't. I kept pushing my trolley and he ran straight into it.

They will be the cheapo exploding clothes pegs from Lidl:D

Haha, brilliant!

I am so tempted to do this as well but I don't have your streak of ruthlessness!

What happened anyway? Did the brats cause a scene?

No he just threw me a look with a face that looked like he just found out Santa had died. It was like one of those silent cries, with the mouth open, the eyes crinkled and no sound.

Pants with small pockets, can't even fit my wallet into them. What's the point!? :mad:

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 02-11-2014 06:32PM

Trying to find my new car. My heart is set on white, but it's almost 17k. I can get a steel grey, or a black one for about 12k up the north. Vrt is about 3.5k. That's still 1.5k less for an non white one.
