If it's been posted once, it's been posted a thousand times, but jesus h christ, whatever about personal hygiene, that's personal. PUBLIC hygiene on the other hand, when one would assume a grown adult would be able to direct a steady stream into a bowl with an opening a foot wide, only inches away from the target...


And some people can still manage to miss it!

Don't beat yourself up about it. You might have just been having an off day. I'm sure you'll hit your target tomorrow

Well done! What was your technique? We've been getting them at work and I can't wait until they call my direct line, I'm going to have a field day.

First he said he was calling about windows so I asked for a quote to replace 2 aluminium ones. He then said no it was Microsoft and to turn on the computer. I pretended to and apologised that it takes a long time to boot up. I then couldn't find any of the buttons he wanted pressed.
I then "logged out" by mistake and had to start again. Eventually I asked if he really wanted to waste any more of his or my time on this scam. He insisted it was no scam so I said OK I can play along for longer. Then he lost the rag. Priceless.

When you're filling a bottle full of water from the tap but are too slow to take the bottle away when it's full so it ends up shooting out and spraying all over my face. Hate. Hate. Hate.

Parents going away soon and there will be a couple of days crossover before the OH returns so I'll be all on my own No college at the weekend and I'm quite looking forward to stocking up on wine, movies, coal etc and having some down time.

Mam calls me:

"Er, your father and I are just doing up a list of things here to get before we go. Is there anything you want?"

"No Mam, I wont be handing up my keep so I'll buy whatever I need myself"

"Oh right, well we're going anyway so let me know"

"Ok. Out of interest, what's on the list?"

"Well we've to get a new battery for the smoke alarm...and a new carbon monoxide alarm"

"Er...we don't have any gas appliances?"

"well you can't be too careful you know. Now, we're going to get in 15 bales of briquettes and 5 bags of coal in case the heating runs out. And your father wants to get a bolt for you to put on the inside of your bedroom door in case anyone breaks in when you're here by yourself. We're going to get a fire extinguisher too and a small ladder to leave by the window in case of fire"

"I'm 5ft9 and we live in a bungalow"

"You can't be too careful love. Now, we've someone coming in to check the electrics on the alarm and the sensor lights outside are back working again. Your father had the brakes on the car tested too and we've stocked up on candles in case the electricity goes. The neighbours are on speed dial in case of emergency too"

Running into a (kind of) ex on the luas, when you're pale faced, looking rough and the last time you were face to face with him, you were a nasty cow. Awk. Ward. I havent seen him in about 7 years, my face is still burning

26D - that parents getting preferential treatment bull**** grates on my last nerve too. If you have a job, concentrate on the job. If you want to be at home, stay at home. Obviously if a child gets sick or something like that, it can't be helped but this bull**** of being late for work because you wanted to make sure your 12 year old got on the schoolbus, wanting all weekends/bank holidays off just because you've kids and the other women don't, bull****.

Posters who deliberately drag threads off topic.

Not this one BTW!

I could never get how doctors appointments for their kids, or themselves, were always during working hours while I always was able to go to the doctor, dentist etc on my own time.

****ing assholes, and that's the only word to describe them, ASSHOLES who think it's funny to post photos of rats climbing out of a toilet on my facebook page. Thanks, jerk. That's a lovely image to fall asleep to. Assholes who think people's fears are something to be laughed at

Aul ones going to Take That reunion concerts trying to relive their teenage years and pretend they are still young.
