Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

TA That I got excited about buying towels and delph. I'm now an auld wan. My Days of chungwanhood are long gone

My weekend TA confessional.

I was doing a bit of DIY at home, using some expanding foam to fill in a gap I found in an awkward spot. After filling up the gap, a bit of the foam fell off onto the counter top, I scooped it up with my hand and went to the bin to lob it in.
Got to the sink to wash the bit of goo off my hands, ended up spreding it all over my hands, hands started to stick together. Pured white spirits and nail polish remover on them, hands and fingers were still getting stuck, had to keep them moving so the foam wouldnt set.
Mrs. Bap thought this was hilarious and was getting her phone out to take some pictures of my struggle. After getting her to put the phone down and read the directions on the stuff I was using, vegetable oil was needed to stop the sticking.
Once the veggie oil was on, that stoped the adhesion and I was stuck with a crusty layer of crusty stuff all over my hands. Nearly 48 hours later and there is still some on my hands. I've managed to peel layers of skin off my hands as well. Any potential to be a hand model is gone I fear.

The rage that is building up inside me, people posting on the FB page of someone who has passed away, people writing posts about someone who has passed away all to inflate thier f*cking egos and to get online sympathy.

Ah but at least Heaven got anuder "angle" :rolleyes: RIP Babes :mad:

RAGING is not the word. I have one jumper - no exaggeration, in my entire wardrobe. Just one. My entire wardrobe is very pretty, dresses, skirts, tops, blazers, but its not very functional. Just before Christmas, I saw this jumper and fell in love with it. It's a grey jumper with an owl on the front of it, that has actual wings and had buttons for eyes.

It was freezing last night, so cold. So I put on my owl jumper. Except when I got up there, one of his eyes has fallen off in the middle of the night

I just know I'm not going to find an owl jumper like that again

You can go all right, but may need to quit.
Perhaps saying to your boss that this is a deal breaker for you may encourage some flexibility on his side?
If you work for a big company then perhaps check the employee handbook to see if it mentions this policy in there. Or ask your friendly HR person if you have one?

Don't worry.
There's loads of great jumpers like that!

I bet if you google for superb owl sweaters, you'll find lots.

There always seems to be loads of them around this time of year, and demand in New England and Seattle was sky high for some reason...

:pac:

Trigger Happy it's a small family run firm and the MD's word is law. I asked for 4 weeks didn't think I'd get 4 weeks but hoped we could meet in the middle and take 3 weeks leave.

Oh I have one of those jumpers too...yeah with the owl and the wings and the brown button eyes and....argh! This is too weird! When I opened my wardrobe yesterday one of his eyes had fallen out! This is really strange. I feel like my brain has been pulled inside out :P

I can't see the photos at work but grey jumper, very loose, annoying sleeves that are neither long nor short?? Brown wings and brown leather button eyes? (Or "eye" as it now is in both their cases

)

Yes!! I got mine in pennies but I've never seen anyone else with one and it looks more new look than pennies. Mine lost his right eye. The OH said we can get him a patch :rolleyes: but I'll ask his mom if she can sew it back on because really, I love that jumper.
Also, you're my top match on that boards.ie compatibility thing!

Me need hobby

TA never feeling comfortable with my appearance and when I try change it, I end up feeling even more uncomfortable. I have dark dark hair, really strong eyebrows and I probably wear too much makeup. But I like red lipstick. Really strong mad red lipstick. The OH doesn't like it, thinks I'm too pale for it and red lips belong on street corners. So, today, I'm trying to make a good impression. I have really nude lipstick and some gloss. No joke, I look like tila tequila. State of me.

TA, we found a poor dog a while before Christmas wandering in the area. We brought him to a friend to foster while we searched for a home. We couldn't find one but in the interim the foster owner fell in love with him and so he got his forever home. That's all fine and fluffy until we spoke today. Apparently she brought him to the vet for checkup, vaccs etc and had him scanned. He's chipped and somehow came a couple of hundred miles to find us.

So, she called the registered owner who said he had left the dog in a local shelter but he kept escaping from it and returning (how sad

) so then they decided to leave it in a shelter in Wexford. OK....so then dog then escaped from the Wexford shelter. When she contacted the shelter she explained what had happened and that she has had the dog for a number of months, he's settled in, they're in love, she wants to keep him etc. Great yeah?? Apparently the shelter want to do a home check? What the actual??? So they are irresponsible enough to lose a dog they have staying with them and then someone calls and says they have the dog and he's been there for months and very happy and all that...and they want to do a home check? The feckin cheek of them. What kind of checks were they doing while he was wandering the streets trying to fend for himself?

Fcukwits in supermarkets. There I was in Dunnes this morning having had no coffee or food today, my shopping was on the conveyor belt, behind a ton of shopping the woman ahead of me had. Anyways, yer womans phone rings and a conversation ensues, despite the fact that the cashier is scanning yer womans shopping. Now at this point most people would tell the caller that they'd call them back, not so with this woman. Mrs fcukwit was randomly pointing shopping at her shopping bags oblivious to the fact that it wasn't going in the bags. It was when she stopped even trying to pack, turned away from the checkout and proceeded to chat about the tickets she'd bought that I lost the plot and pointed out to her in no uncertain terms that she wasn't packing and myself and the customer behind me were queuing.

Mrs fcukwit, mouth opening and closing in the goldfish like way of the truly fcukwitted mouth breathing w*anker, looking confused and upset:rolleyes:, hung up and packed her fricking shopping. Given that my fcukwit neighbour has kept me awake with his fcukwittery since Friday night my fcukwit tolerance is at an all time low and I'd passed livid at that point, I may have been foaming at the mouth.:mad:

Being introduced to people when your gob is full of food:(. Myself and sister went to an event with our mother yesterday. We had heard there would be food so we saved ourselves by having no lunch. We were warped with the hunger by the time the food was rolled out, and hid in a corner with plates piled high. We were barely breathing we were shovelling it in so fast. Our mother of course finds us, and starts introducing us to people. Oh the rage ! No. 1, a gobful of grub is not my most charming look. No.2, nothing induces my rage more than being disturbed from my food. All I could think was I have done my best here, passed myself, albeit smiling and nodding around a chicken wrap. And if these people don't feck off out of my face, the breadsticks will be all gone. Which they were

Needed something...
Popped to shop at lunchtime.
Got distracted...
Got something.
Came back.
Realised the 'something' wasn't what I originally went to shop for...

Gah!
Why am I such a stupidhead!

73cat always happens to me when I'm out for a meal just as I've put food in my mouth the waiter/ess will come over to ask if everything is ok .
