    I have just got the same Super Valu special offers magazine through the door with the post for the 4th time this week FFS. I'll see the offers if I'm in there thanks very much. Time for a No Junk Mail sign I think.

    We have one of those signs and in our case they have dramatically cut down on the junk mail.
    But TA is those junk mail depositors who ignore the sign. :(

    Not worth the effort of making one and putting one up as you will still get the same amount of sh1te in the letter box. The worst part is the amount of junk mail filling up the bin and costing more to have it lifted. These junk mail companies are costing us money by advertising stuff you don't care about or can find out if we want.

    ^^^^ :(

    It's so irritating , I glance at the first one , and thereafter they are straight into the recycling bin. Some days 2 will come in the door at once :(

    etc = et cetera. Meaning : and so on and so forth, and other things, and the like, etc.

    ECT = Electro Convulsive Therapy. Meaning : a procedure in which currents of electricity are passed through the brain, intentionally triggering a brief seizure with the idea that it will cause changes in brain chemistry that can quickly reverse symptoms of certain mental illnesses.

    There is a very significant difference here. I've been seeing ect used instead of etc way too much lately. Annoying this is!

    Doing something nice (bringing hot chocolate and cupcakes into work) and having one girl complain she "really shouldn't" because shes gluten intolerant and watching her weight. After a few minutes of complaining she horsed into it. Ffs make up your mind

    I put one up, and I have to say, it worked a treat ( I did not make on it though, I just bought one).

    Same here. It definitely cut down the rubbish almost completely.

    I have a bought one too. I think that a bought one gets taken more seriously for some bizarre reason. Like a home made one is only pretend.

    TA : my no junk mail only cut down the amount of junk mail by a bit.
    I then printed an "Addressed mail only" label and now I get practically none!

    I'm babysitting here, so I literally have someone sitting watching what I am doing all day. Miss hangin out with my TTTAY gang :(

    It TA's me how some women see fit to, ahem, sprinkle all over a toilet seat and leave it there. Disgusting!! Do ya not look behind ya and check before exiting?? These are probably the same women who bitch about men doing it. Some women are just animals when it comes to public toilets. I'm still traumatised from about a year back, when I went to use the ladies in a local book shop. Let's just say the problem wasn't of the sprinkling variety, and all over the back of the seat. There is a special place reserved in Hell for whatever did that !

    When I was a student I had this little side job of putting up anti-aids posters in the mens and ladies jacks of various universities and collages.
    Without a doubt the ladies toilets were always the grossest, consistently. It was a real eye opener.

    Not just restricted to toilets unfortunately. I once had to clean up non "sprinkling variety" in a changing room of a clothes shop I used to work in. This "lady" had asked to use the bathroom but was refused because it was only for staff. She went and looked around for a bit and brought something into the changing room with her. After a few minutes she came out, put the item back and left. I went in a while later and saw that the seat of the changing room was covered in - eh - brown stuff and that the "lady" had used the curtain to wipe. Thankfully the thing she brought in with her was spared. I have a fairly strong stomach so I told the (already sick) manager that I would clean it up. But the image still gives me the horrors. ... :O

    I used to work in a few hostels around Dublin many years ago. Part of the job was to checkup on the toilets around the reception area and give them a tidy if they are out of shape.

    Mens toilet - the odd blockage.

    Womens toilet - piss and **** and blood and tissue and hair and makeup residue and many a blockage and hair bobbins everywhere. And those hair clip things too, the noise they make when being hoovered up.

    Savages, women are savages in the jacks.

    Still love yiz all.

    Never saw her again, thank God. Haha scatlady :p. I know, it's absolutely inhuman!

    People on trains that bring a picnic on the train with them. You'd swear they were going to be on the train for the rest of the month

    With the service Iarnród Éireann provide, you probably could be.

    A girl here is sick. Instead of going home like a normal person she's walking around complaining to people that she's sick. F*ck off!
