    I think this could be to do with non disabled people using the toilets and in some cases kids going in and vandalising them - at least that's the reason for it in my local shopping centre

    I see. Have we actuarial data showing that young pups are more inclined to gravitate towards the disabled restrooms than the others? It appears to defeat the purpose of them straightaway, and reminds me of the way that I can no longer buy Zippo lighter fluid because of a half-dozen badly-reared little shíts. :mad:

    Recruiters.

    Having found my CV or linkedin profile and scanned it for a few keywords, they then call me up and ask for my entire life story before telling me what the job actually is. And it is not relevant at all.

    "Yo, bee-yatches. Talkin' 'bout pimpin' since pimpin' been pimpin'!" :pac:

    Well in my local SC the disabled toilets are v close to the main shopping area, literally right beside Customer Service, walk through the double doors and the are there on the right hand side - the toilets for the rest of us, continue to walk down a long corridor, then walk up 2 flights of stairs and down another corridor and there they are - so some people been lazy aswell would use the option of the disabled.

    These days I have to go right into the very centre of the city, to a shop that also sells Swiss Army knives, fishing tackle, shotguns and rifles. Come to think of it, that's quite an enjoyable little jaunt! :pac:

    Would you not just use car diesel in your lighter instead of that posh lighter fluid stuff?!

    when someone brings little stones with them into the house from outside, and they get caught in the door, and you step on them barefoot

    Jason derulo's new song has a line '' I got the sheets on the floor'' but every time it comes on, I hear ''I got the sh!ts on the floor'' cue images in my head of Jason derulo's explosive diarrhoea all over the floor :0

    when reading a book and your thoughts wander from the pages, so you have to reread certain parts.

    My name! It is spelled one correct way and that is what is on my birth-cert! That is it!
    How databases are supposedly correct and accurate in this country is a mystery to me when people cannot copy over the spelling of a name correctly!

    I don't, seriously don't care where you work! You spelled it wrong. I corrected you. I sent in forms with the correction also. You do not, do NOT have any right to deliberately ignore the right spelling of my name and start you own variation for your own amusement!
    ^^^ One sure fire way to get my back up! Don't care where you work. You were corrected in different ways.

    Learn to read & spell. That would be a good way to have accurate and correct databases in this country.

    I've been doing some planting and now I feel like I've got stuff crawling on me, even though I know there isn't anything. Trivial annoyance, feeling like you've been infested after doing some gardening.

    I'll probably piss people off with this one, but it's never stopped me before:D I just read an article about a 101 year old woman that spent 25 hours on a trolley after having fasted in order to have a scope:confused: Is it just me or is performing something as intrusive as an endoscopy/colonoscopy on a 101 year old woman just fcuking ridiculous. she's on borrowed time as it is.

    If she's 101 then this must be her first time in an Irish hospital.

    Sure they're only breaking data protection laws - like anybody takes them seriously...

    For those of you who, like kerry4sam, are subject to such ignorant-incorrect-name-spelling remind the "perpetrators" that they could be liable for damages under the Data Protection Acts which requires them to ensure data held about you is to be kept accurate, complete and up-to-date. If they don't change it then you can claim you've suffered damages, which extend to "mental distress", regarding this inaccurate info - ha!

    When iTunes just won't get album artwork for some albums even though the spelling is exactly the same as the iTunes store version

    Getting hit by your own item in Mario Kart (banana skins are actually the most annoying item in MK)

    When you never have enough money for anything, everything feckin thing has to be saved for.

    In the evening the sun shines right in my room, all you see is shadows of a hundred birds, drives me demented.

    Somebody posted something about a character in Game of Thrones before I watched the new episode, and I guessed from the context what it was.

    She's not even my friend, she tagged someone I'm friends with in a goddamn Instagram post and shared it on Facebook. I don't know her but now I hate her :-(

    Other people making you late for things. I hate being late!!!!!!

    When someone takes FOREVER to answer their phone, and you have to listen for ages to their annoying ringtone. I am on the bus, lady next to me took ages to root in her bag to find her phone, then stared at the screen, then eventually decided to answer it. Then I am treated to lots of..... 'wha' 'ya', 'can't hear ya' etc. Then lots of 'bye bye bye'. I also learned that she is wrecked. And so am I after being woken up by her annoying ring tone. I am a bit grumpy today. :-)

    Today and Tomorrow not being Saturday and Sunday.

    Hate being stuck in the office when the weather outside is so nice and it's to end before the weekend!

    Being too much of a baby to ask my boyfriend's mum a favour. She would do anything for me but I still can't ask! Ugh I hate being like this.

    I could do but really I need to just ask outright haha. I've known her for 4 and a half years, you'd think I'd be ok asking at this stage!

    I hate feeling like I'm annoying someone :(

    Id be the exact same as you - I would do anything for anyone (within reason!!) never mind helping people out ect but when it comes to me needing a favour from someone - well I can never bring myself to ask!

    Just do it!! bite the bullet and ask!
