I understand that they don't want to miss work but surely their child is more important than a day docked from AL. They should at least have someone who can take care of them for the day if they're sick and not able to get the day off work.

I agree, they don't think about these things!

I completely agree.
We'll just add it to the long list of things that people don't consider :P

I'm now TA'd that I thought about annoying parents more than I wanted to today ha

There's nothing better than staying at home with your sick kids.

Sit on the couch, your kids show you affection and watch kids movies all day.

TA - You end up getting sick and have to stay at home feeling lousy wanting someone to serve your every need.

Friday night, you find yourself in the dwelling of the one you've fancied for a long time. The lights are low, the music is mellow. There are candles everywhere and a full bodied rioja in your hand...He moves closer and eventually you can no longer resist...

...I don't know anyone who considers the school run or what happens when your child is snotting in those circumstances! :pac:

You're the type of parent that teachers love. Thank you!

I went to the bank.

They have that holding cell carry on where you've to wait for one door to be closed before the other one will open. I held the door open to let a woman with a buggy into the holding cell and pushed the door closed.

Woman starts taking rain cover off buggy and unstrapping the kid while we're waiting in holding cell. I'm thinking "couldn't you wait til we're in". She then starts pushing the buggy into the door. I thought maybe she thinks it's automatic when one closes the other opens. So I said "oh, you need to push the button". "Oh no, she has to do it", so I'm stuck in this feckin holding cell for what seemed like an eternity so that her kid can push the bloody button.

Srsly.

I'm sure I sound like a cranky aul c u next Tuesday, but it's a bank at lunch time, people are busy.

The very reason I used to love babysitting. I used to allow the three kids I babysat to stay up on the condition that when they saw headlights in the driveway, they'd run to bed and pretend they'd been there all along. We'd spend the night eating junk food and watching kids movies. They thought it was cool because they were doing what they wanted. I thought it was cool because I got to be a kid again

(albeit a kid who was responsible for all the others if the house was broken into or one of them spontaneously combusted or whatever)

...then you'd get fifty quid cash in hand at the end of the night :P

That happened me in AIB on Baggot Street one day. I explained to the woman "No, I have to press the button because my mother overindulged me by allowing me to press all the buttons when I was a child and this is what I've turned into as an adult".
She was not a happy rabbit.

Does anyone else accidentally drip toothpaste onto their tops when brushing their teeth? Somehow I manage to do this several times a week.:(

MsBubbles

Pumpkinseeds yes I spill all kind of food along with toothpaste onto my clothes on almost daily basis

Nope, but my mirror looks like a painters radio after I brush my teeth.

When you're on the bus and the person sitting on the inside seat wants to get out, they just stand up but don't say "excuse me" or anything. Jesus Christ, are some people fukking mutes or something?!

I pretend I don't see them

Reading thru this thread I am so glad I dont need to use public transport to get to work.

But TA is those people who drive in the middle lane on the M50 when they are not passing.
So I am cruising along in the inside lane. But driving faster than someone in the middle lane.
The law says that I am not allowed to pass them on the inside lane....I have to switch lane twice to the outside lane to pass them.

I break the law on that one sometimes and pass them on the inside.

I am sure some middle lane muppet will be along here to declare a TA that people pass them on the inside lane on the M50. :mad:

MsBubbles

Thanks Boom_Bap I now have a mental image of you flexing your guns while brushing your teeth

Mr. CooL ICE

The M50 is a complete free for all. People drive in the middle cos they don't know where else to go.

People on the left don't let you merge when you join the motorway for many reasons:
a) They aren't even looking around them and are completely oblivious to everything except what's straight in front of them. Looking in mirrors is optional for them
b) They see the road in front of them as being their special space, and nobody can touch their special space. They will speed up to stop you merging in front of them because they're assholes.
c) They are aware and competent drivers and genuinely want to switch lane to allow you to merge, but cannot because the lane to their right is completely full of gombeens blocking them from doing so.

:mad:

Loud phone-talkers. It's not necessary to raise your voice above normal conversational level to be heard on the other end of the phone, yet some people think having a mobile to your ear means you have to shout.

'Said, chief. I'd insert a fourth category there, b.1) They know perfectly well where you are and what you're trying to do, but have no idea that they're supposed to allow you to merge safely, either by adjusting their speed or changing lanes. They assume you'll just have to treat the merge as a left-turn. :pac:

Also: People who try to "help" you by surrendering their right-of-way. This happens a lot in the various one-way systems around Limerick city-centre for some reason. Some reprobate will stop dead and start waving and grimacing frantically for you to move ahead of him, whereas if he may just take his right-of-way when he has it traffic would flow properly the way it's supposed to and you'd have less fender-benders caused by amateur gawbeens like him directing traffic from inside his car!! :mad:

Some people also think they have to be mobile all the time ie; walk up and down with them. What is this? Have you ever seem someone standing still on a mobile phone?

I'm TA'd by the unexpected empty, sad feeling I have knowing that I'm not in the "family way"

What the actual?? If it were positive I'd be in the shíts. I should be happy!

My favourite girl from work. She is sex obsessed.
She's watched the 50 shades trailer about 8 times today, that fire song from it and beyonces slowed down version of crazy in love is on loop all day. Enough!! Then we have a full and frank discussion on porn being healthy, how masturbation is healthy, how she hopes they didn't show all the hot parts in the trailer. Wondering how sex can be so passionate without leaving the woman paralysed. Good Lord.

She's going to watch it at home because certain things might be frowned upon at the cinema.
