Is that because you won't be able to fit through the door? Irish mammies and their cunning plans.

Possibly

She seems to do everything to keep us there. Well, Dad too actually. I only moved home "to save college fees" but now I am looking around me at piles of washed and ironed clothes left in my room, a mammy dinner and real fire at night, omelettes and fresh coffee for breakfast, a packed lunch, dog-sitting, lift to and from luas plus use of the car at weekends....for 100 quid all in

Netflix asking do you want to continue watching half way through every third episode of binge watching do I want to continue, no I just wanted to watch the first ten minutes and not see what happens next

Also annoying when a friend takes a pic from Facebook, and then saves it on his phone and shows me I'm his screensaver. It's annoying because I can't tell him I find it strange, and I wouldn't like some other girl having my fella on her phone. This is the same one as my BFF took a screencap of and put on Facebook.

I'm annoyed by fans of American Horror Story bitching about the songs. I think the songs are great. The last thing I expected her to sing was Life on Mars, it was deliciously weird to hear a singer in a show set in the 50's singing a song that wasn't done until decades later. I was shocked to hear her do a cover of Lana Del Rey's Gods and Monsters, OK, so it was a very sanitised version but still great fun.

Cause that's what I read when I see one.

I find the majority of the time those signs should be facing inwards at the driver because I have seen parents with those signs on their cars do crazy stuff.

Pisses me off when my beloved sleeping pills stop working. I used to be grand with half of one. Now I'm on my 3rd one and I'm lying in bed listening to progressive house music. Feeling a bit funny but definately not tired.

I think I'm becoming immune

If it makes you feel any better. My GP put me on a month long trial two years ago. They didn't work. I've been immune since my first pill.:(

What ones did you get put on? That sounds like a royal pain though. Mine used to work real good, now I'm just monged off my head, might as well have been filled with caffiene. I used to have a housemate who had Valium for these kind of situations, but obviously I don't have any tonight.

Can't remember the exact name of them, but I think they started with a 'Z'.

Zopiclone? That's the only one I know. For ages I thought they were called dopeyclone

Any hooded garment you buy these days seems to come with a fifteen gallon head covering attached, which hangs down over your face making you look like some demented gregorian chanter.

Just learn a few Gregorian chants and you'll be grand.

People who talk about Facebook. Just f*** off.

People who have closed their accounts on Boards and then expect me to tell the others on Boards that they have left Boards permanently.

Firstly, I think everyone else on Boards couldn't give a rat's ass.

Secoundly, I'm NOT your ****ing secretary.

(Thirdly, I bet you're reading this.

People who think that because you don't live your every move through facebook that everything is grand.
Someone mentioned Henry (my dog I had put to sleep in February) to me yesterday and my eyes probably teared up for a few seconds as they do, and it doesn't matter if the memory is happy or sad, and she said "Oh I thought you were well over it, you never mention it on facebook". Seriously? If something happens but you don't post about it on facebook, does it really happen?

I don't have Facebook..(yeah I'm great) so that must mean my life is utopian!

Sorry bout the Henry...my eyes well up thinking about when mine won't be around : (

Revenue telling me that I need to contact payroll.

Payroll telling me that I need to contact Revenue. "yeh yeh you're on the right tax credit, it says so here" - "Oh right...that whay you took 300 quid off me this week?"

Obviously this is after enduring 34 minutes of fur elise and a general sense from both people I spoke to that rather than ask them to just do their fuúcking jobs properly, that I have in fact requested that they chew their own legs off from the knee down while dancing on hot coals.

Oh and college delaying in sending me out my receipt for fees, meaning that I can't claim tax back on them. Yet if I'm late paying them they crucify me with late payment fees.

All this money that can't be freed up because incompetent morons with a bad work ethic and an áss-like attitude refuse to actually earn the money they are given each week.

Why do certain "establishments" have to be chased up to do their jobs?

This. I meet up with a girl the odd time for a coffee, I know her well enough , but not for years. She talks about stuff she posted on FB, who commented blah, blah. I'm thinking to myself, well yes, I'm your friend on FB, don't you think I've most likely seen it? The same girl gets into insane arguments with randomers on other forums, and takes it all so seriously. Why would ya??

That horrible feeling when you realise that you've forgotten to offer someone sympathies after a loved one died, and knowing it's too late now as you've had more than one conversation with them since

That sounds like the type of conundrum Larry David would face.

Goes double for LinkedIn!

Absolute horror of a concept, no interest in it, nor in talking about it -

"It's like Facebook for professionals"

You're not making it sound any better tbh. I set up a profile on it a couple of years back, I keep meaning to close the bloody thing but I'm only reminded of it when I get a notification email.

The other day I got a 'recommendation' from someone who I had just been telling that morning, that I had no interest in it. They bloody went and searched me up on it!

I'll close it later, on mobile right now :pac:

The secondary school is about 10 minutes walk from our house. On a day like today, when it's lashing rain, I'll have to pick up the middle child. means a few minutes drive, but I will have to leave about a half hour before school finishes if I am to get anywhere in the vicinity to park, as everyone else is doing the same. I usually park at the supermarket beside the school, lots of others do, so I figure I may as well. By the time she has meandered out, I have been sitting there at least 35 minutes. Then it can take anything up to 20 minutes to get out of the car park. By which stage I have almost lost my mind. So I'm gone from the house upwards of 45 mins, for a 15 minute walk for her on a fine day. I try to tell myself it's me time sitting in the car but I hate waiting so much:(
