    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 :(

    Just ask her! Be some craic tho if you ask and 15 mins later someone posts here saying, "TA that my son's girlfriend asked me to do her a favour :mad:"

    :pac:

    You know when you put something down somewhere, and think to yourself, "That's a really stupid place to put it, I'll never find it there when I next need it." But then you just leave it there anyways.

    And then when you end up ripping the place apart looking for it later, you can remember thinking that it was a really stupid place to leave it - but you can't remember where that stupid place was.

    Yeah, that.

    Much as I'm a fan of the fine weather and all, trivially annoying are some of the ladies who are letting it all hang out! I let it go earlier this morning when one woman bent over in front of me giving me the full show of her natty looking thong peeking out from the waistband of her leggings, but just now - woman in front of me displaying the equivalent of builders crack... at least the other woman was wearing underwear!

    *shudder* :(

    And if you go near a beach, the men wearing the grey/white football shorts, Italia 90 t-shirt with brown shoes. The mind boggles.

    How do you pronounce it? :confused:

    I've been trivially annoying my whole life. :( Not just full on annoying.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    The warm weather has brought out that peculiarity of many Irish males, wearing black socks with white trainers, I'm shuddering just thinking about it. It's even worse when paired with booty shorts, gentlemen, just because your mammy bought you those shorts when you were in primary school is no reason to wear the same style when you're over 12, it's not a good look.

    Disgusting creepy men. My boyfriend's parents have a guy here to paint the house. They asked me to come down and stay with bf's mum because she feels uncomfortable around him. Straight away I got a bad vibe from him.

    Roll on to this evening and he walks in asking where bf's sister is. "She would be out making me tea all day, not like Kat over there doing nothing". I'm sorry, I didn't realise I was your personal tea maker for the day. Also it was first time I sat down as we were working all day. Ignorant p****.

    And he keeps looking down my bf's mum's top. Disgusting old man.

    Sorry for the rant but he has made my skin crawl all day. He's back tomorrow :( more TA's then I'm sure.

    You should tell him he's being paid to paint, not drink tea. I remember when we were staying with my father in law for a few months in England, there were some guys upgrading the central heating and we had to go out while they took the asbestos out. When we came back later that day I opened the fridge to put some stuff in and they'd put their lunches and soft drinks in:eek: I was fricking appalled at the cheek of it.

    :O making themselves at home! Absolute cheek. Did you yell at them?

    I hate people who make themselves at home. No matter how long I know someone, I would never do something in their house without asking.

    I didn't say anything to him, just gave him a dirty luck. I won't hold my temper in tomorrow if he starts it up again!

    I did kick off about it. They were working all over the house and it freaked me out wondering what else, if anything, they were up to while we were out. I don't even feel comfortable opening the fridge in my parents house without asking, even though my mother gets annoyed at me for asking. She says it makes it sound like I'm a stranger in the house. :D

    I'm just about to order a gift for Mr P's nieces' baby, it's her first birthday next week. Trivial annoyance, I haven't spoken to the little tramp since she was the cause of a family rift over Mr P's 40th birthday 5 years ago. I don't take it out on the kids, we send her little boy birthday and Christmas presents, so we can't not do the same for her. I still feel a bit peeved about it, petty I know, still if I didn't remind him Mr P would forget these things. I don't know why I bother, my name is mud already with his lot.:rolleyes:

    When you apply for a PhD in England and they only offer maintenance grants to UK citizens. Racist bastards :p

    I have a packet of Jelly Tots. Just the normal small packet, which incidentally weighs 42g, according to the packaging.

    The nutritional information on the packet is given in terms of "per 100g" or "per 13 sweets".

    Who the fuck exactly is going to count out a 13 sweet "portion" of Jelly Tots?! Idiots. Just give the nutritional information for the packet, that's all anyone cares about.

    (I don't even care how many calories etc are in it, but the way the information was given just annoyed me!)

    When your bra is uncomfortable but you're in company and can't adjust it!

    That ad for Roisin Ingle - making her looks like some wonderfully deep and serious writer, when her pieces are fluffy nonsense.

    When I've eaten red onion and then I can smell it on my breath.

    iphone covers with a hole in them so you can see the apple logo. :/ Such wankery!

    When one is "dressed" to the wrong side, and in company and you cant re-arrange the furniture, so to speak.:D

    Orange Smarties

    Blue flies getting in the house the minute I open the door or window, also the fact it's so hard to kill them.

    Orange Smarties

    Some people just want to watch the world burn.

    I have no will power.:( I've just finished making homemade potato salad and I had to force myself to put down the spoon and put the salad in the fridge. I could have just stood there shovelling it down my throat.

    Orange Smarties

    Ah, the orange ones are my favourite ! I remember getting an Orange Smartie Easter egg from my Uncle as a child, I've never forgotten it. It was the one and only time I've seen one :(

    It drives me mad when I'm posting or texting, and I keep hitting the letter beside the one I want. It makes me feel like I have a big, cumbersome thumb.

    People walking in and out of work in maxi dresses telling me "it's a shame I'm working on a day like today.."

    I hate the way people play music way too loud during nice weather. It doesn't matter whether you're sitting in your garden enjoying the sun or if you have the windows open to let some fresh air in, there's always at least one fcuker blasting some Godawful crap music. A few minutes ago it was something like Enigma meets classical, whatever it was it was horrible.
