    The word "muggy" to describe the weather.

    FFS, just say "it's humid"

    Uh oh, there are just SOOOO many words to describe that.

    Heavy,
    Muggy
    Sticky
    Humid
    Overcast
    Unbearable,
    Sweaty,
    Thunder approaching
    Wish the air would clear
    I'm sweatin
    God I'd give anything for a snowstorm.


    We are not able for ahem... humid weather.

    I really hate toothpaste ads.

    You know the ones...some dopey cow grinning wildly into her bathroom mirror brushing her teeth but what pisses me of is that....


    THEY ARE NOT EVEN USING ****ING TOOTHPASTE......:mad:

    Seriously watch it next time doesnt matter which brand- no actual toothpaste to be seen anywhere or else I've been doing it wrong all my life.

    Wonderful day out decide to get a coffee and sit outside with friends on lunch break. Before you know it you're surrounded by the horrid smell of smokers on all sides.

    Go inside, that's where the non smokers decided life was worth living for everyone including the bar staff.

    Then go for a walk in the fresh air surrounded by hot engine smells and car exhausts.

    It's a brilliant compromise really.

    Or the ones where the 'patient' has apparently very sensitive teeth, but never fear, for they use Sensodyne or whatever once at a shopping centre stall (never seen such a stall ever for toothpaste) and they can immediately drink iced water.

    Nah I'd rather enjoy outside when the weather is like this. People puffing cancer sticks are fully entitled to enjoy the weather too I'm not saying they aren't, it's a trivial annoyance that I get the smell of it on the breeze.

    Plenty of places without car exhausts and engines so you can keep your smart comments.

    I am now trivially annoyed with you for having a go at me on a Friday of all days. :(

    Anyway, enjoy your weekend. But I get what you are saying. Glad you are not a ciggie Nazi though!

    That battle has been won. No going back now!

    I've gone from wearing glasses for reading to needing them for all day use. My TA is that I got Varifocals , and am finding it hard to get used to the reading bit. I feel like I'm doing something wrong, and can't enjoy reading at the moment :(

    people who do nice things for others, then tell everyone about it and demand thanks and praise for it, ''where would you be without me, I didn't even get a thank you, you should be grateful, it was all down to me'' self absorbed bollocks...... the best kinds of people do good deeds when nobody is looking and don't make it all about them. ever see those facebook videos and stories of someone helping a homeless guy? takes the goodness out of it all. self praise is no praise.

    saddos giving innocent actors abuse for what their characters do on screen. its incredibly sad and disturbing when people cant distinguish between fiction and reality.its not real people....step away....

    I took a nice picture of myself (a first) when I was all done up and I tried to use it as my profile picture. Unfortunately only part of my face fits into the teeny little box :(

    I love when you have a refreshing shower in this weather and it nearly takes a month to get dry. Thanks to the humidity, you're still wet after you dry yourself and almost to the point where you feel like you've wasted your time having a shower.:(

    House is like a sauna these days. It's so hot I work up a sweat drying off :o

    Youtube app on the tablet acting the maggot on me. It plays an unskipable 30 second ad flawlessly but then it doesn't play what I wanted to watch, becomes unresponsive then crashes.

    People who cycle on foot paths, it's so tempting to shove them off the path. It's a foot path not a freaking bike lane.:mad:

    Parked outside the shop this morning and when I came out, some absolute idiot had parked behind me and blocked me in. I had to wait 5 minutes for her to move her bloody car. I hate people who do that. How rude is it!

    Did you give her an earful or just a dirty eye?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,071 ✭✭✭Rosie Rant


    This guy last night must have been completely off his head on drugs. He was just shouting the same thing over and over and over, sometimes he screamed it. It felt like he was shouting for hours. I don't know which annoyance actually kept me awake - the shouting itself or trying and failing to make out what he was bellowing. It sounded like he was just shouting "GOK WAN!!!!!" over and over. I'm super tired today anyway. And he must have a seriously sore throat now!

    I drove past a woman on the quay, who had parked her car so that she was blocking in other cars. I gave out to myself in my head, and said I bet she is heading into the nearby post office and leaving her car there like that. I parked up, and walked to the shopping centre. As I was walking in, she was pegging it out and back down to the quay. She would have been gone a good 15 minutes. I was incredulous, and annoyed even though it didn't effect me. Who does that ?

    Dead people in newspapers. Some guy dies last month but attended a recent function before he passed away. Then his photograph appears in the latest edition smiling at the camera. This happens a lot with the weekly country papers.

    Dirty look which she missed because she was yacking away on the phone. She drove off still on the phone.

    Which leads me to another TA. I'm only a learner driver but I get all the hardship because I don't have a full licence. But then I see these idiots speeding, on the phone and just generally acting like an idiot when driving and it's fine because they have a full licence. I'm the safer driver but no one cares because of the big red L stuck on my car :(

    Sorry for the rant!

    There seems to be an unwritten law that GP receptionists have to be a pain in the arse. When I changed GPs recently and the receptionist in the new place was actually friendly I got a bit of a fright.

    Actually laughed at this ! Receptionist at the Doctors surgery I attend has a habit of asking -" And exactly what is wrong with you that you need to see the Doctor? " Ah ,well I think I need to tell the doctor that , not you ?????

    I hate that you can't read the comments on the YouTube app. Some of those comments are very funny, especially the racists and anti-racists arguing.

    I like the look I always received whenever I called over to collect a prescription. She dramatically flipped through the prescriptions on a file and sighed loudly while doing so. There can hardly be a more arduous task in this world.
