    People who wish their other half a happy anniversary on Facebook.

    Would they not just say it to their partner directly? With a card perhaps? And a ride?

    Couldn't agree with you more, just foolish.

    Another Facebook TA. Couples in the same house, the same feckin room, talking to each other via Facebook, and being the first to thank each other's stupid status updates. Paying creepy, heartfelt tributes to each other, and what amazing spouses they are. F**k right off, ya sad sacks!!!!

    One of my gripes, it actually drives me into a mini rage, when someone posts a heartfelt tribute to a lost love one on an anniversary but directly 'talks' to them in the post.

    They. Are. Not. Reading. It.

    People having their birthdays right before, during and after Christmas. I know it's not their fault but FECK!!!

    My birthday is VERY close to Xmas, and as a kid, when getting a gift from and aunt or uncle, you see it slowly dawning on them, and they would say "Ah, sure that will do you for your birthday as well..." or my main present would a bike from Santa, and a bicycle pump for my birthday:D

    ah ha haaaa :P RIP whores is what they are. Delighting in the shows of false grief and high drama. If they knew anything about bereavement they'd know the last thing someone wants to do when suffering grief is hop onto social media and start spewing this utter tripe. Friend of mine knew a group of young wans (the PB/Juicy Couture kind) whose group seemed to have a lot of teen/early twenties deaths and they had pretty much gone into competition with each other re shows of grief. There were funeral packages (hair, nails, makeup) as well as fights over who got to sing Angel/play the guitar/walk "up the aisle" first. Silly girls with no real concept of the finality of death, practising morbid oneupmanship. Tools.

    Happy (belated?) Birthday E!

    People who spend ages looking at a treatment menu, then approach you and ask you prices of things. You just read it, ffs. The menu isn't lying to you.

    Leaving a list of cleaning jobs to be done, and deliberately not booking people in this morning so as to give them a chance to do the cleaning without being disturbed. Getting to work an hour later and finding a new spotify playlist made, and no cleaning done. Grrr. I need to work on being more cross.

    On the RIP thing, I suppose most people mean well, but still come out with daft comments. I remember a friend of mine, when his young child died, being told "Ah God needed another angel in heaven" , his response was "That's bollox, if "god" needs more angels, why not just make them?"

    I did. I ended up buying half a leg but there was a load of meat on it. So, I carved off some of the meat to give her the next day, and gave her the bone with some meat still on, on Christmas Eve. She also had her own mini portion of baked beef pudding (turkey mince was sold out!), lovely long roam in the forest, change of duvet, new blanket and extra cuddles because it's Christmas :)

    Shudder :( I'd a cousin that died young and we practically had to gag my (albeit well-meaning) gran and drag her out of the house when he was being waked. She came out with some classics - "well he said he'd come home for Christmas and he did" / "at least now you don't need to worry about where he is at night and if he is getting into trouble"

    I had a weird squirmy feeling in the pit of my stomach listening to her. Doctrine of transferred shame? :(

    That's ireland for you. Not a good word to say about the living and its "some mothers son/daughter" that makes the dead into saints. Even with that scumbag that wrote himself off in prison over xmas, sure he's an "angle" now himself.

    A friend of mine's brother had a baby that was stillborn a few years ago. At the funeral, my friend's stepmother told the brother and wife "well at least you can have another one" :mad:

    He's a 'wrecked angle' now I'd say.

    When my mother miscarried, a "kindly" friend said to her, "well you know, it was probably for the best...who knows what you might have had". :(

    If I even wanted to give her a shred of the benefit of the doubt, perhaps she was alluding to the spontaneous abortion of non-viable foetuses...but I dont want to give her the benefit of the doubt because she is clearly an ignorant monster :(

    How to act:

    1. Buy a lion/tiger/hippo;
    2. Feed her to it/all three.

    That's actually a common reaction to a miscarriage I think. People telling you there'll be other times or that it wasn't the right time or that it's natures way of getting rid of something that wasn't perfect.
