I would love my manager to ignore me. Got way too much work on and when he talks to me he is either going to waste my time or give me another project to work on....:(

Its not great thought when there are issues and you need them escalated and you approach said manager and they have no interest in listening to what you say or helping you - and then you cant go to their manager coz your not allowed to go over your managers head :mad: & then when issues are not resolved you get pulled in and get a b0llocking because you haven't closed out on outstanding queries!!!

The English language is being well and truly screwed and ****ed over by the internet, social media, the under-25s, entertainment/celebrity news outlets, etc, these days.

Grammar has gone to all hell - especially at American sources, words being left out, and/or blatantly incorrect grammar being used, left, right and centre. Though it's also rampant at Irish and UK sources too.

What I see, more so, is deliberately dumped household rubbish. It's a disgrace.[/QUOTE

I walked past a wooded area this morning that had a sign saying there was a 3000 euro fine for dumping, it hadn't stopped people fly-tipping their rubbish underneath the sign though.

The Supervalue commercial that supposedly brings everyone to the table.......they're not even AT a table in the final scene but sitting on a sofa with plates in their laps. Are these real people? Would hate to get stuck at a dinner party with those giggly, happy,throwing knives in the sink, playing skipping in the kitchen, cross eyed DOPES.

Taxing the car online. They ask for a pin code in case you go spending your money taxing someone elses car you rascal you.

ok fair enough if you want to change your details, theres some space there for a scam, pin justified.
But just to buy and send a tax disk (limited to one) to a pre-recorded address. stupid, trivially annoying.

Being told a one off direct debit from your account will happen on a particular date, and then it not happening on said date, but many days later when you've forgotten about it.

Irish water protestors, again. Not content with having the town peppered with protest posters, holding protests in all areas of the town, annoyingly approaching people in the local shopping centre, they have now taken to going door to door. I had to resist the temptation to open the door to them last night and fcuk them out of it from a height. Don't wanna pay? grand, don't pay then, but fcuk off with the posters and stickers and bullsh(t. A fricking huge group of the self-important **** wandering around like they're actually important.:rolleyes:

And the other thing I often see is a warning sign about CCTV recording at recycling banks, for example, when it's quite clear there is no such thing, and if there is, it certainly isn't stopping anyone from dumping rubbish. I have, on occasion, seen mattresses dumped, and once saw a huge TV set dumped at recycling banks, in a shopping centre car park.

Wouldn't fit in the chute I suppose :rolleyes:...

I got this gorgeous Greek frozen yoghurt in Lidl on Monday. It's full of pecans, honey and syrup. I say is full, what I really mean is that I sat down and ate the entire pint of it for 'medicinal reasons'. I know a pint of ice water would have had the same effect but hey, it wouldn't have tasted as nice. TA, is I'm craving more of it.:(

Sounds good. I think I have medicinal reasons to go to Lidl and get that now.

Yum! I think you have given us all a craving now:)

The frozen greek yoghurt was actually a lot nicer than some premium ice creams that I've bought. The one in Lidl was about 2.50 I think, luckily it's only available while Greek week lasts.:) The Ben and Jerry's frozen yoghurt is fabulous too, but is around 6 quid.

In the lorry with my boyfriend and the bumps in the road are unreal. I'm being thrown around the place! Also, no bra is equipped with enough support for this!!

I find that mildly sexually arousing and I'm not even into women!

I'm annoyed with myself with for not being able to go downstairs 2 steps at a time like some folk do. What sort of magic do they use?
I occasionally try it away from public glare, whilst looking like a cross between a getiatric who's had their knees and hips replaced and a new born foal.

The fluorescent tube light bulb, above my desk, which has just started flashing like a strobe light.

People with ipods,phones playing music on the bus,
its so loud ,you can hear a shhh shhh noise from the earphones .
They must be playing it at high volume if i can hear it 5 ft away .

People who just drop cigarette butts ,coke ,orange ,cans on the ground , even though there s a litter bin 5 yards away.

One of these days I'm going to snap at one of these people and end up snipping the chord to their headphones as I exit the bus.

When in the canteen at work, making a cup of tea, and there's people in there that you don't know having a conversation.

"It's like that sci-fi movie from a few years ago...what's it called again...the one where they go on a ship to find an alien ship...with that Fassbender fella....ah what's it called again?"

Cue me in my head "Prometheus!.....Prometheus!.....It's called Prometheus"

Annoying that you can't just butt in on someone else's chat.

Happened to me on the bus recently: "That new Dublin team in the League of Ireland what are they called"

Cabinteely! It's Cabinteely!

TA - People who use acronyms such as OH and TA for no apparent reason

Or taking the phone / iPod and fire it through the nearest window, then hop off the bus smiling... And crunch it under your foot.

(I haven't considered doing this, no, not really :pac:)

Contrary boards members. Posters who are just being downright contrary for no reason. I get that sometimes people have had a bad day and might unintentionally take it out on anonymous internet strangers, and that's fine, I've done it myself. But... this is my TA at the moment.

Pumpkinseeds · 13-05-2015 06:08PM

Washing dishes.

Robsweezie · 13-05-2015 06:14PM

people in customer service with not a hint of people skills, no point getting into that game if you're not a people person.

Gotta head off to my GP's soon. I hate sitting in the waiting room, hopefully there won't be any kids. Trivial annoyance, when people let their kids bother everyone else in the waiting room/ throw magazines around. It's a doctors not a fricking creche. I hope my GP doesn't sign up to the free care for under 6's or whatever it is, I'd be sat there all fricking day if that happens.

Hate my doctor's waiting room. There is always a smell of tummy problems eg pooh, farts and vomit

Samsgirl · 13-05-2015 08:56PM

Watched 5 min of Toddlers & Tiaras and now want to punch the idiots, sorry parents who put their 3yr olds into these pagents.
