    Disgusting vulgar creptiles on public transport who stand facing you and don't cover their big flapping cake hole when they start coughing. Twice.

    Also geriatric PDA

    Having to get ready to go out for a drink.
    I'm always complaining I stay in way too much at weekends but tonight I'd actually love to stay in with a bottle of wine and the telly.
    The thoughts of getting dolled up...gah. Someone do my makeup for me.

    I went into a different Tesco than usual earlier. Nearly cracked up walking round in circles looking for stuff, as it has a different layout altogether earlier to my local one. Also I was too stubborn to ask where stuff was. I went into a checkout behind a couple who had a few bits in their hands. Great I thought, be out of here in no time! Until they proceeded to unload the big rucksack they had with them onto the belt. Every other queue was a mile long, so I huffily left to the self service tills. All was grand until I needed approval for my wine, and had to go hunt someone down. At this stage tired, and hungry, and in bad need of a glass of wine after the afternoon at my mothers with warring older daughters. Some days I wonder how I am not an alcoholic with it all, only my guts wouldn't take it :(

    Couples that post 'DATE NIGHT' on social media. For whatever reason it annoys the hell out of me.
    Can the couple just go out and have a great night without telling everybody? You're a couple; socializing together is normal!

    I'm in a long-term relationship myself. We regularly go out and have great fun but never ever feel the need to tell the world and especially never say 'DATE NIGHT'.

    Tis just one of those things I'm weird about! I hated being in hospital after having the kids

    If I ever have to go to hospital, I'm going to get myself as manky as possible.

    Two words. Sponge. Bath.





    .........you are allowed to pick the nurse to bathe you right?

    Was in my mothers house yesterday. Was a bit cold so she gave me a fleece jumper that she had lying around. Something I have successfully avoided wearing for the 33 years I've been on this planet.

    Haven't taken the thing off yet. Jaysus, I've been missing out. I'm changing my wardrobe to all fleece everything.

    Certain petrol pumps have this feature where if you pull the handle too quick or fully it disactivates the pump ... Stops you filling up.
    Total head wrecker. Have to squeeze the handle half way ... Slow as fvck.

    Drive a distance to avoid places with that.

    Went to a coffee shop the other day and in the seating area it was like baby central. One table had three mothers with three large prams, obviously one of them had had a newborn so they had presents for the baby etc.. The TA was that there was a two seated table next to them empty, but all of the prams were blocking access to that table and the shop was getting full. I did find another table to sit at and enjoy my lunch, but it was just the fact the mothers were oblivious to the fact that their precious babies prams were blocking access to a table someone else could have used.

    You'd wonder how hard it is for someone to actually be able to spell my full first name properly, it's not that difficult. Also when the oh/ex oh calls me by my full name, bugs me no end. Excuse me, my name is 'Honey'. Feels like I'm getting in trouble


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 220 ✭✭Flutterby80


    Total losers standing outside a shop on a Sunday morning waiting for it to open. Hungry heads on them staring in at me putting out tills and trying to charge the door when I let the staff in, we are not open yet asshole!! Some people would want to get a life and have a lie in, it's Sunday FFS :( I'm not one bit pissed off that I'm working today, honest!

    People who continue to argue a point of fact even though they are clearly wrong, have been shown how they are wrong yet keep on and on and on contradicting you.

    It annoys me when fookin assholes park too near the front of my driveway making it hard for me to get in and out.

    Oh far from it and I am actually annoyed by the inference.

    I'm prepared to be wrong about this, but I have some expertise from a past life here and a theory.

    What knocks the pump off is foam. This is built into some pumps to prevent you overfilling. Now, if you don't have the nozzle inserted fully, the fuel hits the side of the tank causing foam and this knocks the pump off.

    Simply make sure you have the nozzle as fully home as you can to fill as quickly as possible.

    How easy it is to destroy an animal. I've two dogs. About a month ago both were sick. I felt sorry for them and gave them nice food (whatever was on discount in tesco). Now they're better but won't eat their nuts and wet food now. The daddy dog will eat his meat raw but the puppy won't. So, here I am on a Sunday evening cooking a dog sirloin steak, and cutting it into pieces for him. And I had two bowls of fruit salad for my own dinner.

    Kids would be less demanding

    Gradually reduce the steak etc by mixing with their normal food. Over a few days they'll get back to the old ways.

    They can certainly be worse than kids. I know as I have both! :)

    Slippery slope Boom_Bap then it'll be the P.J's around the house......because they're soooo comfortable.

    People who feel the need to take corners really wide like it's formula one or something..eh, other lanes of traffic?
    ..oh and people who change lanes like a little bunny doing a bunny hop..drives me nuts.

    I seem to have compartmentalised most of my TAs to the road these days, not sure if this is a bad or good thing...

    He may have the softest hands, but he has fingers like Clonakilty puddings ;).

    Boggle eyed with tiredness all fookin day. Slept like sh*t last night. Heard the eldest come in after 3, by which time the youngest was stuck to me like sh*t to a blanket in the bed. After 4 I woke convinced I had heard the doorbell ring. I was in a panic thinking someone was dead. Then I convinced myself that someone had put a bomb through the letterbox/ set the house on fire, and had rang the doorbell as some kind of a warning. I couldn't go back to sleep for ages, and by the time I did the little one was up and awake:(

    Sending a risky text to someone and they take hours to reply. Spend all day thinking "fuuuuuuuuck".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    When you think you look great until you leave the house. Then spend the entire night questioning if you're overdressed/over made up/If that thigh high slit is too thigh high. Effort of life

    Social retards - people who can't put their phone down for 2 minutes, and use the phone as a crutch because they can't talk and look people in the eye.
    Bad drivers.
    Lads buttoning up their trousers as they're coming out of the toilets. See it a lot at weddings from big bellied red faced lads.
    People who don't know how to use 'you're, your, there, they're, their'
    Text speak.
