TBF id rather be looking at my phone...whatsapping my friends etc, than be dealing with talking to the general public who are by and large insufferable arseholes (yous all on boards aside)..

if I was having to get public transport everyday....near 100% certainty id be just looking my phone...who wants to be dealing with bull****e chit chat??

I was thinking more along the lines of people with actual social disabilities like Aspergers, Autism, Dyspraxia etc.

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.

Jaguars are particularly sensitive to this. Turn the nozzle 40 degrees clockwise - works wonders.

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

Eat the steak and fcuk the dag outside the door with the fcukan fruit salad after him. He'll get the message surprisingly quickly.

Older people constantly commenting on my appearance is headwrecking. My best friends mom does it every single time she sees me and my cousin does it too. I think because they're older, and have kids my own age/older they must think I'm some sort of imbicle unable to take care of myself. I met my cousin earlier tonight. "Lexie, are you eating". Yes B. "Are you sure?" Certain. "There's less and less of you everytime I see you" I don't think so B, it's probably just the outfit. "You always dress well don't you?" I'm delighted that the conversation is steering away from weight until she goes back to "make sure you're eating right, won't you". I wouldn't mind but it's not like I don't have weight to lose, I do. It's not like a couple pounds here or there would even touch the sides of it but I think old people just have different ideas in their heads about how they think you look vs how you actually look. Can be guaranteed anyone I know really well, over the age of 45, probably thinks I'm living in squalor or starving myself. Far from it.

People with massive TVs - 50+ inch wall mounted yokes

can see it!

Tell them that you were brought up to think that it is rude to comment on someones physical appearance & let them meditate on that for a while. There may be ruffled feathers for a bit, but they'll soon get over it.

I said that to a couple of aul wan friends of my mother & it shut them up right sharpish. They always have something to say about how I look. Some times it is good. Sometimes it is bad. But just the concept of how I look, always being open for discussion 24/7, really pisses me off.

Sometimes people have no clue how effing clueless they are being. All it takes is a verbal kick up the arse, to make them cop on.

Last night's trivial annoyances - a car alarm going off constantly and 3 dogs and a human barking at it. The man must have heard the dogs doing it and thought it would be fun to join in. He was terrible at it too. I feel like I haven't slept.

As someone who worked in that area all my life, I can't agree with you on this. Don't get me started on the subject of our wildlife and the governments woefully inadequate response to directives to protect our natural environment. I'll save that for the Nature forum.

I agree! I hate this country in that regard!

OldNotWIse · 26-01-2015 10:58AM

There's some f.ucker up our way shooting beautiful deer, like every day. Actually, it doesn't just TA me, it makes me f.ucking mad with anger. What is he doing with all the deer? Selling it on the black market? I'm also annoyed that I don't know enough about the law in this regard to know if I can report him, if he needs a license, if he is going above a quota - are there quotas? And, every time he drives past me he f.ucking waves! With the big neanderthal head on him. I wave too...my middle finger

rainbow kirby · 26-01-2015 11:01AM

TA'd at my own inability to sleep properly on a Sunday night. Meant to get up to swim before work, but struggled to get up at 7:30 in the end as a result. :mad:

It's probably the season for female and antlerless deer - they're culled regularly, for their good and ours. You do indeed need a license to hunt deer, it's a serious offence to do it without one. You also need a licensed, powerful centrefire rifle which are jaw-droppingly dangerous weapons and the Gardaí do not issue them to morons.

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

Yeah this one. Or you throw on a top/trousers/shoes that you're not quite sure of and then spend the day feeling self-conscious and uncomfortable and adjusting said top/trousers/shoes and dying to get home so you can change.

This is why "getting ready" can be an ordeal sometimes.

Well, I don't know if he has a license. I also don't know what he is shooting them with. I will find out though and he'll be sorry if he's not above board.

And rightly so. Venison from the cull is mostly enjoyed at table, BTW.

TA: I had foxes 'wailing' outside last night.

It's some screech that they make! :eek:
If you didn't know what it was, you'd poop your pantaloons!

A vixen's yowl would stand the hair up on your head right enough. It's this that generated much of the old "Banshee" mythology.

LOL ! Jimgoose. I have a car question for you. My 308 has an eco feature to save energy the engine stops when you're stopped at junction/lights. I normally switch off because it keeps stalling at lights, it's a 1.6 auto diesel. Any ideas how to fix it ?

Little known fact that when foxes make sweet love the female 'traps' the male member inside her. This can cause the male fox to yowl....which is understandable in fairness.

kfallon · 26-01-2015 12:10PM

Never mind foxes, those seagulls never shut the fúck up in the morning, screeching from about 5am onwards!

Ten times worse in the summer :mad:

Walking back to the office just there after getting a coffee and I see a really old woman up ahead sitting on a small wall. She's one of those inner city grannies you wouldn't mess with!! She's ancient, hunched over and holding on to one of those walking frames.

She spots me and says something but I have my headphones on so can't hear her. I take them out and she orders, not asks but orders:

'Pull up me boot there love. The one there that's slipping off my foot. I don't want to fall over. Give it a good old hoike'

So, next thing I know I'm on the ground trying to hoist a wet, crusty looking ugg type boot over this old dear's enlarged looking foot while she barks orders. 'A bit higher. Pull it harder. Make sure the sides are level' And not even a thanks at the end of it!

YA WHAT NOW!!!!!!
