    I can't figure out which type of assessment is most beneficial to us so I just want the revenue person to say "it's this one" and then happy days.

    I found it easiest to get through if you ring 1st thing around 9am.

    I rang the tax office and they were very helpful.

    My experience with the tax office is that if you ring five different times with the same question, you'll get five different answers from five different people.

    Had a nightmare a few years ago trying to pay the tax on a geansai-load of shares I'd sold. I was like "I am trying to give you money here, will you just tell me how much it is???"

    People who drag out stories forever.
    I'm still in the OHs parents, and his brothers gf is here too, were lying on the couch chatting. She's telling me about some guy asked her on a date.
    So far she's given me details of 4 nights out BEFORE he asked her
    Having drinks in his house
    A saga in a chipshop, where he tried take a bite from her burger
    Now he's going to bed at his own house party, and she was left sitting on the couch.
    Wtf.

    Now she's talking about finding coins on the couch.


    Seriously oh god.

    I've always found them very helpful. but depending on the time of day it could take ages to talk to them

    There was a girl I used to go out with, she had these and loads of baby-angel pictures/posters all over her room.
    It got wierd when I was on the job and making eye contact with those things.

    We stayed a night in a B&B in West Cork about 15 years ago and it was the creepiest place I've ever stayed. There were religious statues everywhere, including a 5 foot statue of St Anthony outside our bedroom door:eek: The mass times were listed on the back of the bedroom door and the bed was one of those really old fashioned metal framed ones with lots of steel springs. Every time we turned over in bed it sounded like we were having an orgy in the room.:D

    That's mortifying, staying in a hotel, not caring who hears what during the night, then having to get up and leave the next morning praying nobody is coming out of ajoining rooms

    I just watched the John Lewis Christmas ad and it's very 'meh'. So meh that it's disappointing. Shame on you John Lewis, shame on you for such a meh Christmas ad.:mad:

    Websites that have a black background and white text. It cuts the eyes out of me.

    Websites that were designed in the 90s with awful backgrounds and stupid gifs... like this!

    Nicolas Cage horrible. Didn't linger was in fear that the lurid colours would induce a migrane.

    Job snobbery.

    I love my job. I'm not a thick, I have a 'real' and 'proper' degree, but it's not something I wanted to work at for my whole entire life. I'm happy with my job, and a few weeks ago I got offered a new job as manager, which I decided to accept.
    He has a real job. A 'sensible' job. A job that pays much better than mine, but if I were to do it, I'd end up hanging myself with one of my ****ty ties I would have to wear (if I were him). It wouldn't be for me.

    He's got this opportunity to move to a new country, just for a few months, with his job. He broke the news via text to me yesterday, and just automatically assumed because my job was so ****ty anyway, I'd be going with him. He didn't ask, he didn't suggest, he just took it that I would. His work will be paying for his apartment ect.

    I remind him I got an amazing opportunity with this new job (no experience as a manager, job offered from just recommendation). I told him this last night and he basically said who cares about my ****ty job and that this adventure would be much more exciting.

    Now obviously I'm like an anti Christ all day. I didn't stay at home last night, and answerd all his texts today with one words and full stops and he's completely oblivious to why I'm upset with him.

    I'm so annoyed I ever moved in with him. Insensitive judgemental gobsh1te.

    Local water prostestors, again. Some of the Nordies have a bit of a martyr complex going on. They're out with their placards at the main road for a few hours every day, despite the fact that meters are being installed on the other side of town. Although to be fair to them, they wouldn't be getting themselves any attention if they were actually at the site of the installations. Fecking twats, all they're doing is boosting their own egos.

    And what, pray, is not "real" or "sensible" about your own job?

    Because "slapping a bit of makeup" on someone and "looking at hoohah's" isn't a real career.

    I dunno. With that description you haven't ruled out marketing, banking or insurance. :)

    Passive aggressive people, who take to Facebook to bitch about you.
    Have a problem? No problem. Just say it to me. You're a big boy now. Spit it out.

    Also what gets on my tits is users. Freeloaders. He's my friends husband. Big man he is too. Massive. Anytime he sees me he's asking for a massage. There's quite a lot of him to massage, and he needs a deep tissue massage. He told me if I did massages for him once a week, he'd throw me 'a score' which I didn't know was 20 euro. Still super cheap for a massage, if he was getting 60 mins deep tissue from me in work it'd be 85. For two weeks, I did it. Brought my fold up bed to his, drove the 15kms. Did two one hour deep massages, no cash monies but I did get a lecture how he'd do anything for his friends and not expect payment for it, how it's bad form to take money from your friends.
    Now I only wish I'd have someone come to my house to massage me for nothing and most of my friends would do massage, but the only massage for free is a shoulder rub from my best friend if she's in a good mood, lying on the couch, once a month, while her daughter pulls my hair.

    And it's not just him. Will you thread my eyebrows? Will you tint my lashes? Can you do my makeup? Can you do gels/shellacs?
    I do this from my house, and most of the people would be people i don't even know that well, so they'll pay. But then I've got my freeloading friends and I don't mind doing something for someone once as a favour but when you do that, it's expected and they'll just ride you. People that you know if they are texting you then it's only because they want something.

    Do I ask my friends who work in a crèche to mind kids for free in their spare time?
    Or ask my hairdresser friends for free haircuts or highlights?

    No. No. No. No. No.

    And then log onto Facebook to be greeted by this mother****ing ****. I had enough on my plate on Wednesday finding out my oh was planning on leaving the country, without worrying about giving that bollox a massage.

    Swear to god when he replies to my nice comment, I'm going to tear him a new asshole.

    The way Ed Sheeran cannot pronounce "fall". Seriously what a fúcking gimp. People full in love in mysterious ways? Full? Really? Fúck off Ed.

    Teeth moving slightly even after years of brace wearing. Parents think I'm crazy but there is definitely shift...so now, looks like I'll be a 31 year old with tracks for a while. How sexy. Perhaps I could just get dentures instead...and be one of those really annoying denture ad idiots who is all teethed and happy eating a fúcking apple.

    My Mum is of the opinion that the reason why these protests have such a high turnout is because they are affecting people who are not used to paying for anything. Why don't we have such numbers protesting against the continuation of the supposedly temporary USC? Ah because it's people who work that are affected by it. I don't know if I agree with her or not, but now I am TA that the fúckers are still taking the USC for, well...nothing :( Bástards. I could have bought new boots with the USC they took this week. I could have got píssed on last week's USC. Next week's could have sent three goats and a chicken to Concern ;)

    If my ex ever coughs up the house money he owes me, I'm going straight to the invisalign clinic. I did not wear braces for three precious years of my teens to have less than perfect teeth.

    It's my own fault for not wearing my retainer, but still...
