People thinking everything is about them.
I've a lot going on in my head at the moment and probably seem a bit distant or distracted and <snip> has asked me 3 times this week if she did something to upset me and everytime I say no not at all she seems satisfied with the answer until she asks again. Feck off.
(I also have a sneaking suspicion that she keeps asking because she thinks I'm going to tell her all my secrets, dream on.)

Going into a shop for one thing (a lighter for candles) and coming out with half the shop, and forgetting the lighter. Grrr

If you didn't have that noise you would have a fcuked-up car.

Very tidy. Chap in Cork here at morrisonbhp.net does parts and consumables by post. Highly recommended and very reasonable.

Tell me about it. My last client was Japanese. They started getting pissed off when I refused to attend calls with them before 8am.
They needed me more than I needed them so they quickly got over it.

Moany bitches. I like to moan, it's my favourite thing to do but jesus, people just nitpicking for the sake of having something to be unhappy about. One of the girls took this lady in earlier for a tint. She came out demanding to speak to a manager. I'm thinking **** what could possibly go wrong with a tint? Her problem? The chair was slippy. Wtf? many many people have sat in those chairs and they've been fine so I apologised for the slippy (?) chair, then she complains that it takes too long to mix the tint so the tint should be mixed in advance. Oh I'm sorry we can't read your mind to know what colour you're having done, and pre mixed tint will wash off within a week.

Jesus some people are complete donkeys. Why? Why would you be even bothered?

Women who have trolleys even though they are too young to really have them. They're around the 55-60 age group. Constantly foostering and messing trying to navigate doors and buses etc. Wheeling around god knows what. Or buggies. Buggies to carry around their bags of shíte that they've picked up in Boyers or Guineys. Usually a load of tattered envelopes with a see-through shower cap over them too. Barren aul wans wheeling around empty buggies. The irony is not lost on me.

I'll be honest with you here, I'd fooking love one of those trolleys but I'm only 27. You know when you're out shopping and you've got a load of bags and they're all different sizes and they're getting heavy, those trolleys just sound like the best thing ever.
However, ideally I would like an adult sized pram for someone to push me around in while I shop, you know the ones that you can lie back and have a snooze and then when you're ready for all the shopping action again they click up into the seating position?

(Despite sounding like the laziest fooker ever, I'm not actually 25 stone, I do not wash myself with a rag on a stick.)

Imagine you're out shopping and out of the corner of your eye you see a relatively large pram coming along with adult sized converse sticking out the end and you peep in and there's 26sdrawkcab having a take away cappucino while being pushed around or there's 26sdrawkcab having a little nap. I can just imagine all the parents who love to comment on their adorable kids looking in at me and saying "ah would you look at her, like an angel when she's asleep".

This reminds me of an old lady, years and years ago, in our town who used to wheel around this massive pram that would be just full of crap. You never would see her without it. Anyway, a teacher from my brothers school, bit dopey by all accounts, was at an atm this one time, and the old lady had left the buggy outside a shop. At the top of our town (where the shop was) there is a slope down a good bit of the street. The atm was also on this slope. So the buggy flies past the teacher and she ran after it, thinking there was a child in it, but turns out it was just the old lady's pram full of rubbish.

Yes I sometimes find myself looking enviously at a baby all wrapped up in a buggy, giant padded coat with feet and a hood, and a plastic cover over them as they sleep soundly while us grown up f.uckers get rained on and blown about the place

Those baby grow things are the only cute thing about babies. You know when you can just barely see their eyes and a big soother that takes up half their face sticking out?

I tell you I'd be happy out in my adult sized pram in my giant baby grow minus the soother.

That's why you bring the OH with you (or a friend with a baby so she can put the bags under the buggy and on the handles).

Love when someone comes to tesco with me so they carry the basket

If we go shopping together we both always have our helmets with us so we're minus one arm each before we even start.

Those are bike helmets by the way, not special fighting the crowds shopping helmets.

Any chance it's an Android phone and you had your Gmail account on it? Your contacts could still possibly be synced to your Gmail account online. Your photos should still be on the memory card.

Thanks for trying to help but unfortunately I don't have a gmail account. My husband was able to recover photo's and some numbers but not all. Have a new phone on order so I will make sure I have a gmail account for that.

Getting old. Does it f.ucking speed up as it goes along or something? The time from 20-25 was waaaaaaaaaaay more than 25-30?!! Why??

How has no one quantified or even questioned this phenomenon yet? Oh God... I need to dye my hair, freeze my eggs, start a pension, go out and get wasted while my body can still cope and sleep around while men still want said body. And then some self-righteous knobend says "oooh, it's better than the alternative" - f.uck off.

In actual fact, yes! Years will be shorter as you grow older, there's scientific studies done and all... To explain it simply:

When you are 2 years old 1 year = half of your life;
Wen you are 50 years old 1 year = 1/50 of your life.

Therefore years will get shorter and shorter as you age. Of course it's still 365 and a quarter days, but the perception of it will be shorter.

Life does seem to fly by as you get older and then when you have kids it goes even faster. I had babies and now I have preteens and a teenager and when I look at photo's I wonder where the years went, its frightening:(

Feeling like you are being interviewed while just buying something in a shop.
'Have you got a loyalty card?'...'No'...'Would you like to sign up for a loyalty card?'....'No' 'Would you like cash back?'.....'No'...' Will I put the receipt in the bag?'
F***N HELL, life is complicated enough!
