Hilarious 'asked for id' stories.

Maybe I'm too old but they're always the same. My first TA this year.

How old are you? Prove it:D

"Oh i take it as a compliment if i'm asked blah blah"

Snore. Just give me my alcohol. Stupid sense of authority retailers give (admittedly just following the law) asking this.

I'm only 24, but I look it. Was ID'd in my local shop on a Friday night a few weeks ago. Didn't actually understand the question because it had been so long. Your one behind the counter goes then "Can't be too careful, maybe if it was a Saturday night..."

So the time of day dictates if you play fast and loose with the law? An unusual interaction to say the least.

This, in my opinion, is nowhere near what I have had my entire life which is pretty much just colours and shapes unless I have corrective lenses in. She'll say things like, "yeah I know now what it is like" and I'm looking at her thinking actually you have no clue. How does one explain severe myopia to someone who doesn't have it? It's like being really drunk? It's as if someone has taken a watery brush to the painting and blurred everything?

Reading this reminded me of something that happened to me last night, trivially annoying for other people though, temporarily embarrassing for me -

Coming out of a shopping centre last night and my friend had stopped in front of the door to let me out on the way in, so I'm coming out, silver car parked across the way, I opened the passenger door and hopped in. We weren't moving so I said "Are we parking here for the night?"

"I think you have the wrong car" says the driver, who was not my friend :pac:

Happened to me a couple of times in the past, how I haven't had the head dug off me I don't know, I'd freak out if some stranger casually hopped into my car and sat there waiting for me to drive on

Maybe she meant next Saturday night. So you'd be older

Note to self. Always lock car doors when waiting outside supermarkets in case a fellow boardsie jumps in. Imagine two trivially annoyed people in the same vicinity? What a dangerous, entropic event that would be. Especially in a closed system like a car

We've all encountered the type of moron who spend their evenings driving around in one of their ma's nissan micras roaring things out of the window at people walking along as they drive past. They make Beavis and Butthead look that academics. More than anything I feel pity for them rather than trivial annoyance towards them.

However what does make me trivially annoyed is when they pass you and roar something but you have your headphones in so can't hear them, but they don't know this and think they've startled you, when in fact you might possibly have just heard a feint yelp as they past as the song entered a quieter part!!!

Lexie, I would only LOVE to be I'deed

I do too, but they usually ruin it. I have one of those really old age cards, the ones from 2006 before they got the new ones. They ask you and make you feel young and then deliver the blow. Like the time I got id'd in dunnes. The cashier was American or Canadian, asked to see my Id. I took out my age card. She said sorry, we only accept age cards and passports as forms of Id. I point out it is an age card. She goes off to speak to someone else, they tell her it's the old one. She comes back, tells me she hasn't seen that one before and that I have a baby face.

Then again in tesco, ided again, delighted, show the Id. Girl tells me I'm older than her and don't look it. FUUUUUUCK YOU!!!!

Although NYE in the bathroom, some girl told me I looked about 19. Beer Goggle strength - Strong.

Similar but when you're waiting to cross the street and a group of lads in a car are the ones who stop and beckon you across, only for them to sound the horn, whistle, and roar obsense things out the window.

People who think they have to say something every time they walk past.

I know the whole onesies as a TA was had the other day, but it's my TA the last couple of days. A "man" I know has been posting photos of himself in a onesie on FB. What self respecting man would wear one of those atrocities, even as a joke?? He looks like a big f**king overgrown baby. Worst of all is all his hangers on complimenting him, and egging him on. What self respecting wife would actually encourage her husband to wear one of these , actually take photos of him, and allow him to make it public on Facebook?That's grounds for divorce! I'm sorry but onesies wearers need to be rounded up and shot. I really hope he is bursting for a sh*t , and the zip gets stuck. Rant over....and breathe ......

One who secretly hates him and is allowing him to publicly humiliate himself before she leaves him sad and alone with only his onesie for company?:D

Board.ie was something I stumbled upon, and thought at the time I would dabble in one thread and go on my way.........but then I discovered TTTAY, and realised I was not alone, I had found my spiritual home.

Had I known I would be hanging around, I would have given more thought to the name. I wanted to Heisenberg ( Breaking Bad - huge fan) but I was beaten to it, and as far as I remember someone had also taken Eisenberg, so was a lazy git and just added the "1".

I'd always just thought Eisenberg (my phone predicts "Eisenhower"

Meanwhile, people that just leave you lost for words -

I was just invited to a dinner party tonight, really not my thing so I politely declined (my pants split when I pulled them on the other day, I think they're trying to tell me something), but my work colleague then comes out with -

"We'll be having goodie bags for our guests?"...

What am I, 12?

(not to mention there's something very "Come dine with me" about the whole idea, I just know I wouldn't enjoy it:()

A friend and his daughter are staying with us for a few days. We got us some Domino's last night, on ordering I asked him if he wanted anything, he just said he's not that hungry and would have one slice.
Grand said I, ordered one of the deals that had a large pizza and 3 sides.

Grub arrives and he starts tucking in to all the sides, there was plenty to go around so not that worried. The pizza got unveiled and he started horsing into it.

Now, here is the massive TA. With Domino's they generally only give one dip for the crusts of the pizza. This guy holds the dip in his hands and dips the slice into the dip at every bite. M*therf*cker was quadruple dipping, even quintuple dipping. D*ck all dip for me.

Then there was one slice left in the box, Mrs Bap gave me the nod indicating that it was mine. As I started to reach for it, this pr*ck starts to reach as well. The dude that wanted 1/one/single slice. He tore the top off the slice and gave the rest to me and used the last bit of dip.

If he just had of said he wanted some pizza I would have just gotten another one for him, and that would have been another dip as well. Cheap bast*rd just didn't want to pay for pizza. Little did he know that I would have just bought him one.

eisenberg1 · 02-01-2015 03:15PM

Pizza gobblin fcuker!!

"Do want some chips?"
"No, I will just take a few of yours"

"Em, no, you won't"

I genuinely would have told him to f*ck off. Nobody f*cks with my food. You must be a patient man.

In fact, even when people give me that "I'll only have one slice" crack I usually order them a personal pizza, because it inevitably leads to them eating my dinner otherwise.

And the worst thing about eating pizza is that you don't have a fork nearby to stab them in their hands

Under normal conditions I would but the guy is having some issues at the moment and adding in my food rage might be the thing to tip him over the edge.

Another TA is that I was going for a run yesterday. When I go out to run, it's to listen to some music, get some air, get away from the kids, try beat some of my goals. He decided to come along and I came back more annoyed than when I left. No music, too much talking, not having my own pace, no metrics on my run. In the end he was alot happier so I guess some good came out of it, but my own personal selfish self was TA'd.

Father-in-law update: today we went out shopping and to a nice restaurant for lunch. He forgot to put his shoes on before leaving the house so spent the (very cold) day walking around in fleecey slippers, including in the restaurant. I was annoyed than bemused. I always said I don't know how he dresses himself in morning and now I know he can't!

... And before anyone thinks he's elderly and therefore understandable and I'm being a bitch I should point out the man is not even sixty yet!
