Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

That sounds perfect.

It will be. I've told my brother I'm going to my OHs parents. I've told the oh me and my brother are going to my cousins. Win win. Me and my two main men (my dogs) will pan out in front of the fire. I might cook a chicken for them on Xmas eve.

I don't get how at Christmas people can eat so much more. Like, if you had breakfast, how can you eat before dinner, and if you have dinner surely it's a regular sized dinner - how can someone physically eat a dinner you could climb, then be hungry enough to eat sandwiches a few hours later.

I get people gain weight because they eat worse foods/drink a lot more but it's always annoyed me wondering how they can eat so much more.

I'm spending Christmas day with many bottles of wine and a selection box on my own. And I can't wait.

That sounds perfect.

You know things must be really bad when you hanker for the weather talk that has been replaced by Christmas talk. SHUT THE **** UP. Someone in work has just given me the full run down on what they will be eating on Christmas Day. 'No wonder you are so fat' I say to myself. 'That sounds delicious' I say to her. For anyone who cares, she'll be tucking into her homemade pigs in blankets in the period between breakfast and lunch, along with a 'cheeky cocktail'. I can also provide said pigs in blanket recipe and in case you care, her favourite 'cheeky cocktail' is a cosmo because she likes Sex in the City. KILL ME NOW

Ugh. I got that this morning from someone. Usual tool who only asks me how my weekend was so he can tell me how his was. So naturally he asked if I was all set for Christmas just so he could give me a running f.ucking commentary on his. He has "the cheaper" stuff to get today. He "already has the expensive stuff - you know, laptops, ipads etc" - I'm looking at him thinking, I actually don't give a f.uck if you want to spend all your money on your kids and boast about it to someone else. If they drank from your gene pool I guess no amount of expensive presents will make them feel good about how they look, you toothless, red-faced f.ucker. Oh and you know who doesn't parp on about money and "expensive stuff" all the time? That's right - someone who is used to it!

I'm going to finish my Christmas shopping today, as today is pretty much my last day off. Under too much pressure. Big event on Saturday that's making me so nervous I get a red rash

The handbag I take to work is a satchel with a relatively long shoulder strap, and I generally just swing it around to the front on public transport if I'm standing. Even in spite of that, I've been told by a snotty middle aged oul bag on the tube before that my shoulders take up too much room for someone my size...

Spent most of it learning Irish - God Damn the official languages act. We'll have to empty our bowels as gaeilge next. Also cleaned up the cr.ap of twelve cr.apping cats. I had PMT aswell so pretty much spent all of yesterday crying. Decided, after a lot of soul searching, to dump the OH because she wouldn't come for a walk with me in the forest while the wind and rain beat the country to a pulp. I robbed a bottle of chardonnay from my Dad's wine collection and was p.issed on that by 6pm. Then I went through my OH's phone and sent an abusive message to her ex. Then I cleaned some more cr.ap. I cried over that cr.ap. I sat in front of the Christmas tree and cried because my OH didn't go for a walk with me. Then I cried when Ben won the XFactor even though I only started watching it last night. I cried because I drank too much coke and had a sugar rush and couldn't sleep. This morning I was still angry with my OH for not walking with me, and was p.issed that I hadn't been abducted and buried in the bog to show her what happens when you don't go! I cried a little bit when I saw that there was more cr.ap to clean this morning.

Too bloody right! It's not paranoia either Dave; I was waiting on a peasant wagon at George's Quay at 6am one morning when I was relieved of my phone by an early morning thief.

I clobbered one of his friends with my rucksack, the one containing my laptop, didn't care if I'd smashed it as long as it did him more damage. Turns out a quality rucksack is worth the investment, still no way in hell I'd be leaving it on the floor on public transport though! :pac:

He went on to say that it was wrong to blame the Catholic Church for not helping to stem the AIDS epidemic in Africa- the Church's line: "Artificial contraception does not help to prevent AIDS" .

I said "You are assuming that everyone in Africa is a practicing Catholic", and promptly changed the subject, back to books.

It takes up a lot of room if the train/bus is packed and its an extra obstacle to navigate. On the ground at your feet or hold it in from of you. Very easy to do, do it myself with the bag I carry my lunchbox in. And yes you should care its common courtesy, sadly not very common it seems.

Ewwww you eat food off the floor!

Tell her she takes up a share of room herself, for what is essentially an air-fouling device. :pac:

People that are too happy in the mornings...especially Monday mornings, with their laughing.

I am not a morning person.

There would be no way in hell I'd leave my personal belongings on the floor of a shame train (luas red line). My phones in it, my iPad is in it, and my makeup/makeup brushes are in it, as well as my wallet. I'd first of all be paranoid my bag would trip someone up, second of all, ew, third of all, if someone accidentally stood on my bag, and fourth of all - if it's so packed that a handbag on someone's shoulder is making it difficult to navigate, then maybe that carriage is already overcrowded and can't hold any more people.

You want someone to place (in some cases a very expensive bag) their bag on the floor of a LUAS, where people walk with all sorts of crap on the soles of their shoes, where it could very well be stolen? A bag in front of you takes up the same place as bag behind you, no?

Annoying me today is a conversation I had at the weekend about charity shops and the fact that I buy books in them and redonate them when I have read them.

"I don't support AIDS charities" said my friend. We live in a small regional town. The local charity shops are the usual, SVP, NCBI ones, no AIDS ones as far as I know.

I looked at him with surprise we weren't talking about AIDS. He went on to say most AIDS sufferers are that way because of their own promiscuity...
This is someone who calls himself a "good Catholic". A little compassion would go a long way. Talk about derailing the conversation.

Saw an example of lovely parenting earlier.

A lady is doing some clothes shopping with a boy of approx 3 acoompanying her in a buggy. He is obviously bored and keeps asking her can he get out of the pram. This doesn't appear to suit her so instead she hands him her Iphone to play a game on and declares 'Shut up and play that and if you drop the phone I'm bringing you straight to the bleedin Garda station, righ'

You're right, I personally don't care. My handbag is on my shoulder and that's where it stays. It's not like it takes up a lot of extra room but I would be curious to hear where you think people should put their handbags

Where do you suggest they leave them? A lot of people don't want to leave a bag on the floor in case any sc.umbags decide to help themselves to the content. Not to mention the pox filled slime that coats the floor of most peasant wagons
