I remember when I was an insecure teen and the staff in BT beauty hall made me feel inadequate because they were wearing lab coats. Later when I got a lab coat and actually used it for it's intended purpose I realised how silly and false the whole thing was.

Sometimes you can smell the desperation off people working on commission a mile away.

That made me laugh so much :pac:

Let me tell you all, you haven't been looked down upon for the way you look by staff in a shop until you're a woman wearing bike gear, holding a bike helmet, particularly on a wet day. They look at me like I'm a wet dog after wandering in off the street. This is why I do 99% of my shopping online.

About 2 weeks ago I went into a big department store, I was looking for a particular skincare product and I wasn't sure if they even stocked the brand so I wanted to speak to a member of staff.
I followed 2 different members of staff around saying "excuse me, excuse me" and they completely ignored me and I know one of them definitely heard me because she turned her head and then just started walking faster. Then I went over to the perfume counter and the woman behind the counter didn't know anything about skincare and the conversation ended there, no "I'll just call over X, she works in that department", she just continued faffing around behind the counter sorting bags.
Anytime I go in there or any similar shops in my bike gear (which is all the time) I'm never offered a spritz of perfume or make-up testers or to try this or that.
I feel like they see me as a man.
And I do wear make-up and perfume and style my hair and don't look like Worzel Gummidge.

I think I found your Facebook last night as you commented on a page we both follow. If I'm right and it was you, I can't imagine how anyone would mistake you for a man, even in biker stuff! You're very pretty!

Not as loud as Channel 4 on our sets!

trying to book a few days away, cant get a hotel with smoking rooms.

Has that been banned?

I always thought you could still smoke in your room in a hotel.

Rubber neckers on the M1 that added an extra half hour to my journey home. I hate them!!

I am really short, about 5'3. And yet, my legs are too long for sitting properly on a seat on Dublin bus. What's that about? I bet it was an American who designed it making a bus for leprechauns. Jesus

Web robots, like sitecrawlers, eBay auctionbots and so forth. The inference is that some posters are like a cross between an ELIZA and a rock-breaker.

"When will X happen?"

"In 5 or 10 minutes"

"Which? 5 or 10"

"Ehhh..."

"'Cause, ye know, 10 is twice as many as 5...there is a 100% difference. .."

The roof in the hallway has started leaking with all this rain. There's nothing more annoying than the constant drip drip drip sound of the water going into the mop bucket and basin underneath. Had to drown it out. Ugh and I will have to call the landlord about it. Useless man!

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 14-11-2014 01:42AM

Not being able to get comfy for sleeping. Laying on my side, no. Laying on my other side, no. My tummy hurts to lie on it, and I can't sleep on my back. I need more options.

I just trivially annoyingly had one of my "optical illusions". ... I get the sensation I'm rolling backwards:(. Got some fright, as there was a car behind me. It happened another time, when I was parked up in the lashing rain. Whatever way I looked at the rain running down the windscreen, I thought I was rolling backwards. Please tell me it happens to more of you, or am I just a big weirdo?

Huh! I thought that was just me. Exact same thing happens. Last time, I was parked outside SuperQUINN (fúck it) and I really thought the car was rolling back. Awful fright - sudden vision of the back of the car wrapped around a bollard. Another time I was in traffic, crossing the canal at Leeson Street and had to wait on the slope of the bridge. I was convinced the car rolled back, even though the handbrake was on. In a panic, I stamped on the brake and somehow managed to blow the horn at the same time, frightening the kids and myself even more. What is it? An optical illusion / dizzy spell? I dunno. Freaky either way.

Trivially annoyed that my new steam cleaner is just okay. It's not a miracle cleaning device after all. I cleaned the hob in the kitchen. It took a good hour and the kitchen was more fogged up than the rain forrest. I also burnt myself. And have hair to envy Sideshow Bob. Hob is shiny though but... it really wasn't that bad to begin with. :pac:

Getting dressed this morning while half asleep, I decided that this t-shirt was acceptable for work wear. Turns out, in the full light of day, its not

Now I feel all awkward for the rest of the day

Try putting a pillow length ways at your side, it's nice and comfy and raises you slightly off the bed. Oh, God, I feel old and sensible these days, sometimes when I open my mouth my mother comes out.:(

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 14-11-2014 09:28AM

I got spoons and fell asleep as soon as I got warm. I just wriggle around too much when I've too much room and can't sleep then. It's like ADHD at night lol.

Oh my god there are two ****ing imbicles are next to me and its too early to be listening to them, he's talking about that Sophie lady that got murdered, and how his son finds her name hilarious and he's pronouncing it with an exaggerated French accent. He is the male version of Rachel Allen. He's also critising some lady "who has a mullet and 4 or 5 teeth" he thinks its funny that his son laughs at her.

Excuse me but does he even own a ****ing mirror?

Pumpkinseeds · 14-11-2014 09:36AM

Far too early this month to be thinking about it but every time I see the M&S ad I'm craving that really yummy looking Christmas pudding they do, but I don't think I could justify spending 21 euro on it. I've got an outpatient appointment in Galway the week before Christmas so hopefully I will resist, I might find something better at the Christmas market there.

That reminds me of another trivial annoyance. Since I have the outpatient appointment we had been going to stay overnight in Galway and get into the spirit of things, until I remembered that I had another outpatient appointment in Limerick the following day.:(

Did you perhaps spend most of the 60s on acid? That could explain it.

Not me anyway, don't know about bronn:P. Sure I wasn't even a twinkle in my Daddy's eye in the 60s. Delighted I'm not the only one!
