I want to buy a pair of Toms online and the colour I want is sold out in my size

Also, I really want a kiwi and I don't have any kiwis.

Where are you getting them from? Could do with a new pair myself.

TA that I've got really bad period pain today.

And that I forgot to get lots of stuff (esp. coffee!) when going grocery shopping yesterday, so I had to go again today during my lunch break.

Eugh, spawn fruit that resembles a gorilla's nether regions Although technically all fruit is spawn I suppose....

And there was me thinking Lucyfur was expressing a preference for antipodean males when she said she wanted a Kiwi:eek:

Spotify free is still painful though with all the skipping and the shuffling and I could hardly find a decent song on it. I could listen to a single song on repeat for days!

You should create a playlist of all the songs you like and shuffle through that. That's what I do.

Being a very average size when you're looking for sale stuff. Can the rest of the world kindly stop having size 6 feet? :mad:

This habit some people seem to have of sawing back-and-forth and/or creeping forward in little fits-and-starts towards the stop line when "stopped" at traffic lights. What is it with that? Seriously, just what in the actual haemorrhaging fcuk is wrong with you? Now hear this, this is the fella in the Jag a couple of cars back with the big grumpy head on him - when you stop at traffic lights, stop already! This kind of arsing about does not affect the light timing and does not help, it particularly does not help when you've arsed so far forward that you can no longer see the aforementioned lights, and do not therefore know that they have chenged and you're there like a langer delaying everyone anyway! GAAAAGGGGHHHH!!! :mad::mad::mad:

Yes, WTF is that about, leaving bags of dog crap on the path! Charming!

I posted about this very topic as part of a rant about litter in general, in Ranting and Raving, earlier this week.

Happens all the time in my estate, I think I've posted about it before as well. So annoying! Sometimes the bags are in the middle of the footpath and a few days later they are all flattened from people stepping on top of it.. blergh! It will stay there for all eternity then, nobody's ever going to try and peel that off!

Our local park, is very good when it comes to people scouping after their pooing dogs. Have seen a couple of people try to get away with leaving the poo there and someone shouts at them to 'remind' them what they need to do.
But when you go out and walk the dun laoghaire pier you would be doing well not to thread in dog poo. It is everywhere on that pier.
They even have free poo bags in little stands, but still poo everywhere.
People bug the hell out of me sometimes.

Giving things stupid names. In my day when people dieted it was known as dieting or watching your weight, now it's a 'weight loss journey', well fcuk me, you learn something new every day.

Yes, God be with the days when "enlightenment" was referred to as " a good kick up the hole":D

Slimming World.. and people constantly talking about it in work.

And in particular, the term "syns" - something particularly annoying it - not only what it represents (which in my mind is bunkum) but also just the sound of it and the context in which it is used

Pumpkinseeds · 10-04-2015 03:12PM

It really bugs me when people get arsy over something that was their own fault. When we came out of Lidl at lunch time there were 2 'aul wans and an aul fella stood right at the corner of the building gossiping away, refusing to budge an inch. Mr Pumpkinseeds was pushing the trolley(I can't be trusted to do it in case I ram some fcukwit):rolleyes:, anyways, we expected them to shift out of the way since we weren't going to walk on the road into oncoming traffic in the car park.

The aul fella stepped back into the path of the trolley, getting hit in the back of the legs and proceeds to get lippy about it, until I pointed out to him that it wasn't us that should be apologising. I mean ffs, he bloody saw us before he stepped out.:mad:

The handbrake brakes on my car are nearing the end of their productive life - can't afford to get it fixed until payday. If you hear of a car rolling down a hill into the Slaney over the next week or so it'll be because I forgot that I can't park on a hill for the moment.

Put the car in gear (if its a manual) and then turn off the engine and disengage the clutch - that should lock it into place.*

*a brick behind the back wheel will also help!

And turn the wheels in towards the kerb.

Anything to do with football at weddings. Really tacky imo! Fair enough some cufflinks with a crest on them, but Man U socks are a bit much, or a Man U themed cake.

And don't forget that if the car is facing downhill, that gear should be reverse.

Ah yeah - If I have to park on a slope I'll do these - but I just know there'll be some morning where I have the brainwave to dash in somewhere for a coffee to bring to work and will forget.

People who nitpick at every little thing you say. Why do they always have to be right??

Rosie Rant · 10-04-2015 04:58PM

Being asked by every other member of staff if I'm "ok there" while waiting for food at a fast food place.

We had fun playing with bubble mixture in the park with my nieces today. Unfortunately our bubbles were providing a romantic setting for the teenage couple who were all over each other on one of the benches. She was straddling him! I couldn't help mumbling "Get a room..." when we passed them on the way out of the park.

My luck is just rock bottom this week.

I need to retract this TA. The puncture fix was only 15euro which was a lot less than expected.
Infact, I was trivially happy when I got the bill. Perhaps I should post that in the Trivially Happy thread.
(Ha - as if!).

I was queuing at the customer service desk, in the local supermarket recently. When it came to my turn, as I approached the cashier, a woman appeared from my right, she couldn't even pretend to have been in the queue, because she wasn't!
I kept going, the cashier was also looking towards me, as she knew I was next. The queue barging woman said 'go ahead', as though she was doing me a favour.
I thought 'too right I'm going ahead. I'm after queueing patiently, wait your turn, which will be after all the people queuing behind me'.

Also what is that thing of standing beside someone in a queue. I was in Dunnes today, waiting for a staff member to check on something for me. A woman said to me, is there a queue, I said yes, so she stood beside me.

If t'was a friend or family member they wouldn't be standing as near to me as she was. I said 'I think that cashier will be free next', so she unglued herself from my side, and went to the other till. Phew.

The CD selection in Dealz. Lots and lot of pop rubbish that no-one into collecting CDs would buy.

It could be worse, it could be a themed wedding. God, those are so tacky. Surely people must look back in later years and think 'what the fcuk were we thinking?

KatW4 · 10-04-2015 08:16PM

People who go to the till, knowing full well that they don't have anything!! One woman was strolling up the isle to the till today, blocking it up for everyone, turns out she had sent her daughter for more shopping! Grrr get all of your shopping before you hold up the queue.

Robsweezie · 10-04-2015 08:29PM

happy clappy, sunshine and flowers, sweetness and light kind of people. its an almost sickly sweetness about them, where they never get angry, impatient, swear, lose their temper, or argue. you're just waiting on them to completely lose their **** once in a while like a normal person. the fakeness of it would have you reaching for a bucket.

prudes who look down their nose at swearing and those who do. usually goes hand in hand with the above. its been said that swearing indicates honesty in people, more than those who don't. I think that's interesting to note. I was once told by a teacher that swearing is for people that cant express themselves properly, **** that, I think its perfectly natural and refreshing to throw out an f bomb when you see fit. it makes me feel at ease with the person knowing they don't have that snobby prejudice.I have a small bit of respect for those who can express themselves without effing and blinding, but lose it when they judge others for it.

when people have something trivial to tell me via phone, like some shopping that needs doing or a favour, I prefer a small, concise text explaining what it is instead of a yappy phonecall talking ****e when im trying to concentrate on something else, especially when im out walking in a crowded public town/village where the phones likely to be robbed if I keep it at my ear. that does happen quite often nowadays. I think part of it is the introvert in me preferring text over calls, but I digress.

when you ask people a yes or no question, just yes or no, and their answer is the equivalent of a dramatic monologue, without a yes or no in sight.

''can you do this for me'?'

''why do you want that done? im not sure its my place to do that, I might not have the time, why are you asking me?'' and on and on....

''do you want spring rolls and prawn crackers as well?''

''eh them crackers are full of fat, I might have a few, dunno. are those spring rolls vegetarian? they were horrible the last time. you better not eat them all. and on and on....

not being able to discuss negative aspects of minorities, or even minorities in general without cries of racism, especially when concerns about said minorities are perfectly valid. I don't think you can even use 'black people' in any context in a sentence anymore.
