I don't exactly regard them as trivial but when I see someone in one of those ridiculous leprechaun suits complete with the big green hat and ginger beard I have an overwhelming urge to disembowel them.

Was in the bookies this morning and the cricket was on the telly and there were more of these cretins doing the Hucklebuck in the crowd - I nearly screamed!

Why would anyone operate a shop that way? They need about four kickings! :pac:

Plus 4 more just to be on the safe side.

I am with you, those leprechaun suits should be banned , if only to preserve some national dignity.

I know the place. Once I managed to upend the Tic-tac holder hanging off the edge of the shelf whilst reaching across to pay. Sent them flying everywhere! I was morto and hightailed it out of the place as fast as I could. Half way back to work I could hear a rattling noise as I stepped - turned out about half a dozen boxes of Tic Tacs had landed in my coat pocket.

Juvenile I know - but Boom Bap got there before me which is a TA

Mr. CooL ICE

LinkedIn, and the bullsh1t that connections spout on it; "Successful people are always looking for ways to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking "what's in it for me?"."

This connection was the most lazy, incompetent and self-centered moron I ever had the displeasure of knowing. The only reason he didn't get fired (and instead got 'promoted' to a made-up position) was because he carefully timed his smoke breaks to coincide with the manager's breaks for the most blatant and unashamedly sickening display of brown nosing I've ever witnessed.

I've been looking at the Hoover freejet 3 in 1, just going on price and user reviews on Amazon. I need bagless and cordless but can't afford the other ones I saw. I have no idea what 'air watts' are. TA'd that I've made an OT post.

Have a look at power city website or the argos catalogue, they show the air watts a vacuum cleaner has, and on Power city you can filter your search by air watts or power watts etc..

CEX in Tallaght have a certain second-hand DVD on sale at €6. There's a receipt in the case from HMV that says €4!

There's a shop in City Square in Waterford. There is no counter space whatsoever to put your stuff down on so if you're buying a few things you have to put them on top of the chocolate bar display which is of course a graduated display so your stuff starts to slide down, the person behind the counter starts picking up chocolate bars that weren't part of your stuff and you're busy trying to grab everything before they fall off the display onto the ground. Then if you want to pay by card you have to go down the other end of the counter and leave all of your stuff there and by the time the card transaction is finished the person behind the counter has already moved onto the next customer, who is trying to stop their stuff sliding off the display and trying to shove your stuff out of the way and stop the person behind the counter scanning bars that they don't want to buy so you have to try to get all your stuff together, separating it from everyone else's stuff and bars that you didn't buy.
The whole experience just feels so rushed and like they don't want you buying more than one thing that you can hold in your hand and your money in your other hand.
I try to never go in there.

Ugh, I think I know the shop you mean

You are struggling to hold onto your few bits, and nowhere to actually put them down. So you are passing them over bit by bit, and getting them handed back to you, you'd want to be an octopus

Cricket updates in the sports news. Why?
I'd say there are less than 100 people in the whole country who follow cricket.
If Ireland won the Cricket world cup, would anyone even care?

Yeah and doing that stupid awkward smiling and "oh sorry" awkward laughing as you basically perform a 2 person juggling act and the person behind the counter looks like they want to murder you.

People coming to a dead stop in the middle of the street. It's busy, walking along minding my own business when some outrageous thick stopped right there, no warning, I called him a simpleton, accidently but I'm not sorry at all.

Going to lodge money in the bank. There's a que and one lodgement machine is down (to the left of the q) and there's a statement machine to the right of the que. I'm eventually standing next in line and this aul fella comes barging up "excuse me excuse me there are Ye waiting for the lodgement machine?"
... Yes?
"There's one free".
It's out of order.
"Oh is it?" And goes off to inspect it. A big **** off sign on it and you're questioning if I'm wrong? Then he goes to see if he could lodge through the statement machine.

The c word in front of me in aforementioned que had three cards, a stack of money and was FOREVER at the machine, apparently you can only put a certain amount in at a time. More than one transaction? **** on back to the back of the que there's a good chap. Him hogging the only machine working.

Then I was still humming at the luas stop with temper when this old man (sober and dirty) approached me asking for money for tea and a sandwich. I was so annoyed I was mean to him and said I had no change when I did. A minute or two later I felt terrible and went after him but couldn't find him

And that STUPID ****ING WHITE BRIDGE WITH ITS STUPID STEPS one of these mornings I'm going to fall and break my snot. Those steps are awful. Too long to stride across and not long enough not to take a step on it to get to the next step. I have little legs, inconsiderate pricks whoever designed that

We've put out the wood and nails Lexie, on the days they decided not to come! Typical! Thanks

Bf doesn't really wanna call the Guards but if it happens again we will. Thanks 26!

Fair enough, you've done up your car but no one appreciates you acting like an idiot!!

Katw4, Don't forget the wood and nails before you drive out yourselves.

I definitely would. I'm one of those people who would prefer to ring the gardai and have them not give a fúck than not ring the gardai and keep thinking I should ring them.

The Brit Awards came on there and Taylor Swift was the first performer so my husband left it on, he loves her :rolleyes: so when her performance finished we said we'd leave it on for a few minutes and see what it's like.
Within the first 5 minutes Ant and Dec said "Kanye West is in the building so to anyone who wins an award tonight, if he thinks Beyonce deserves it, just give it to him". Oh really?!
Goodbye Brits.

It's in those situations I'm glad I have a brother who isn't quite right in the head. We live out in the country, isolated enough. Any of that messing hed be out with a baseball bat or something. Some horrid dickheads around - sometimes bringing a bit of Physco is no harm

KatW4

We have 2 entrances Selous so no fear of that! They'd be for it if I accidentally drove over it!

KatW4

26 I am the same but bf doesn't like calling them! I'll definitely do it if they're back tonight.

Lexie my bf and his dad stayed up waiting for them with bats but they must have spotted them because they didn't come back!

Thanks for all of your advice and support! You're all a great bunch!

Spent the last few hours installing a new shower. All going well until the pump inexplicably came on and soaked me and the bathroom.
Then trying to calmly tell the Mrs that I have everything under control while the water is dripping from the ceiling. Got the job done in the end but
I am sure she called a plumber despite me, just to check my work.

Too many keys on your key ring. Driving along when your bunch of keys keep swinging and tapping your knee.

Fcuk! I'm separating the car key from the bunch tomorrow.

Meat eaters can be pretty annoying too. I'm not vegetarian, I eat chicken and prawns. The amount of comments people feel the need to make
"That's not right, that's not healthy"
"You need the iron no wonder you're as white as a sheet"
"Do you not care that chickens are killed? Why is it okay to kill chickens but not cows"
"There's a delicious smell of a cow cooking in my house"
"There was a little pig on my grill this morning"
"I ate steak. I wonder if it was one of your friends".

I'm not vegetarian, I don't claim to be, but people still scoff, I'm sure it's worse for vegetarians
