    Someone in my estate keeps leaving little bin bags full of dog sh1t on the footpaths, drives me crazy! Why go through the trouble of picking it up in a bag, only to then leave the bag behind or put it on someone's wall?! What do they think is going to happen with the bag?

    Also TA that I forgot to buy bread for lunches tomorrow and I don't know if the shop down the road is open today. :( can't be bothered to walk there only to find it closed.

    The shop is probably open, I think most places are today. My husband worked today and most of his colleagues decided to work too. They get the overtime and a days holiday so win win really.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    I had no blaas today! I've been home since Fri morn, had them Fri, Sat, Sun and brought some back to Dublin yesterday so I'm missing them today :(

    It's sad and annoying

    TA that I don't know what TA is.

    I'm guessing it's Trivially annoyed. :confused:

    At the parade and a family of....rough people were standing beside us. The mother was blowing a whistle in my ear, the toddler was kicking me in the leg, another toddler was blowing a horn in my ear (I was sitting on the kerb) and the dad was smoking in my face. They were really horrible, I felt like saying something but they were enjoying themselves, I should have just moved.

    I spent yesterday unblocking my next door neighbour's sewer because it was causing an overflow from the sewer in my garden. Great.

    Now, it's starting to back up again. :mad: Is there no end to this ****?

    That's what I was thinking but as a phrase that makes no real sense.

    Acronyms annoy me.

    The smell of ketchup in my room after food. Stinks the whole place out. Ketchups pretty strong isn't it?

    I work in an office with a small number of Polish Nationals, nice people no problem with them personally but kinda gets on me tits in the canteen or around the office that they will speak Polish even if there is an Irish person sitting with them or working in their vicinity find it ignorant as their English is fine.

    couldn't be the only one that would think that surely?

    It is trivial and it annoys me, but to say trivially annoyed seems wrong (to me).:o:o

    If I have to explain it then forget it, basically you are drunk so go home, I'll speak to you in the morning......always wanted to say that to someone rather than it always being said to me! :pac:

    I'm annoyed at the fact that I can't find my wee bottle of magnesium sulphate for the horrible mass in my armpit. It's sore and throbbing and chances are I'll have to get it lanced at the doctor. Boo-urns to this!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    I'm annoyed that I forget to buy some Hunky Dorys before the shop shut :mad:

    I usually wear deodorant, not anti-perspirant, since it seems to work better for me. I don't mind a bit of sweat as long as it's not smelly. However, I only have anti-perspirant in travel size, and I'm just back from a long weekend in the UK, so today I got a hard reminder of why I don't like it:
    - out of the shower this morning, brand name "24 hour" A-P roll-on applied;
    - moderately active day: some walking, trams and buses all over Edinburgh. By mid-afterenoon, just like on the last few days, my armpits are swollen and sore (overheating, I think);
    - Ryanair flight in early evening: the day has clearly taken its toll on the A-P, but it's a normal flight, not a problem since I don't get airsick;
    - I do get carsick, though. Bus from airport in to Dublin is overheated. A-P total fail: I start reeking like Auld Reekie herself before they banned coal fires. Take the heat and the smell, mix it up with the driver's ... aggressive driving style, and I'm soon in a flop sweat and turning green. Other passengers start slowly moving away from me. I barely make it to my stop without dry heaving on an empty stomach. After a bit of fresh (?) Dublin city air, I made it home OK, had another shower, and I'm still wobbly.

    Anti-perspirant sucks. Sweat is normal, and healthy, despite what the advertisers want you to believe. Interfere with a natural body function at your peril! :o

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
