I just emailed telecom with a complaint.

They will respond within ten working days....with a case number!!

Wtf? It could take up to two weeks for a telephone company to get me to acknowledge my complaint ?

Imagine if you recieved a payment demand from them, and replied in a similar fashion.

"Dear Telecom, yeah I know I owe you money, let me think about that for ten days or so, and then I will let you know whether I intend to pay or not"

I read this in the voice of John Cleese doing the parrot sketch from Monty Python. Made me smile a little and forget my TA a little bit.

My TA: I work for myself and sometimes am a little late opening the door at work in the mornings as I be ringing clients, posting things, doing the accounts etc before opening shop. The lady who works in the cafe next door has taken to making a comment almost every morning I open my door now, be it to tell me whether I am on time or make a comment about me putting out my sign on the road. All the while making out that she is helping me in some way. This morning she even tapped her watch at me being a quarter of an hour late, which to be honest had me pretty annoyed.

So... people who have to constantly tell you what you are doing wrong even though its none of their business.

Motorists who pull in off the road to take / make a phonecall/text.

And then block your driveway for ages. You ask them politely to move, as you are trying to exit your own property and they point to their phone as if to say "can't you see this is more important!"

Yeah I know that but some words come up and nothing comes to mind except I'm pretty dumb ha!

people who are useless at computers, that need to be handheld through the whole process of using one. ''so do I click this?'' ''where do i go now? '' how do i do this?'' ''where do i put this file?'' I don't mind helping here and there but every two seconds... everyone should try to familiarize themselves with at least the basics of computers in this day and age.

Clothes jumping inside the duvet cover while in the washing machine, so when you take the duvet cover out, ALL THE OTHER CLOTHES ARE INSIDE THE DAMN THING.
Bloody nuisance...and why do all the T-shirts end up inside out?!

When you get a sandwich at the deli counter with tomato inside and they have not removed the core of the tomato; the really hard bit in the middle.

We call that part of the tomatoe "the sprig" in my house! I hate it and won't eat tomatoe unless said sprig has been fully removed!

The car park charges at hospitals. My dad is in hospital and under infection control measures. Only myself and my mother can visit and I think I've spent over €40 so far on car park charges (not including today) since Friday. Extortion!

Reminds of the time when my Dad was dying (RIP):(. I drove like a demon from UCHG in Galway to get to Sligo General. When I left the ward the next morning, to go to my parents house to freshen up. I had a big juicy parking ticket waiting on my windscreen. The ticket I purchased the night before only covered me for 4 hours. An tbh running around trying to find more change was the last thing on my mind.

So I ripped the ticket off the windscreen, went into the parking wardens hut, told them my dad was dying and they could shove their ticket up their arse and I wouldn't be paying it. Before I left I told them the ward my Dad was on and left. The next morning, one of the wardens approached me and told me not to worry about buying parking tickets, they had my reg and they wouldn't be ticketing me again.

Proper order. Fair play to them.

Waking up with one nostril all blocked. Always happens in the morning.

Time speeding by when you're in a rush.

I knew I had to leave the house at 6:45am this morning, so I got up an hour before and had a shower, dried my hair and had my breakfast.

Then I glanced at the clock and it was 6:30am and because my face was so sweaty after drying my hair, I couldn't put my make-up on.
Opened the door to try and cool my face down.

Then I had to go to the loo.
Left the house, got into the car and realised I forgot my phone.

Back into the house, switch off the alarm, hunt for my phone, back to the car.
Late.
How come the time just flies by when you really need it to go slower?

My parents are such frickin martyrs.

I have mental health issues going on - they make the guilt twice as bad by raving on and on how it's all their fault and they should have picked up on it sooner.

I'm meant to visit them today - they won't let me get the train, which I'd prefer, but instead insist on the six-hour round trip to collect me - and then rock up at my house at 7:30am, meaning they left home at 4:30am. Completely pointless because I'm not ready. I need time to sort myself and my stuff out. They know this. And it's not the first time they've done this.

I know I sound ungrateful but they nearly make it into a bragging competition about how little they've slept and how much worry I cause them. It doesn't help me at all, but I guess it makes them feel better to put themselves out the way they do.

As on other occasions, I've sent them to the spare bedroom for a nap and told them I'd be ready to go around 11am (a somewhat reasonable time.) Still getting feck all done though because I'm so feckin frustrated with them. (And of course they're not napping. That would be too easy, and would take away from their martyrdom.)

Ah bless them. It is a nice thing to do to drive all that way. But I suppose you need to have a chat with them and tell them that if they insist on collecting you then it needs to be on your terms...at your time!

Let me know what you have in the restaurant.... I'm like Barbara from the royle family, love hearing about people's dinners!

So, if you're still interested (I'm sure you couldn't sleep last night with the curiosity!) we went to a Chinese restaurant and I had Peking ribs as a starter and beef in black bean sauce with fried rice for the main and it was so, so good. I wanted to have dessert but I was too full, that is my TA!

The faux outrage surrounding this advert and it's apparent sexism. How is it any less sexist than that infamous Katie Taylor ad that was airing not too long ago?

fussyonion · 22-07-2015 09:29AM

Inexplicable stains on a top you've JUST WASHED.
I put a snow white top in the wash and it came out with dried on spots of something.
It didn't have a mark on it before it went in.
And of course because it's a white top, it's so noticeable there's a mark on it.

That crap drives me nuts. People looking to be outraged for the sake of it. Drama queens/kings.

Yep, you sound ungrateful.

Does it take you 2 and a half hours to get ready?

Make them a cup of tea and some breakfast, sit down and have a chat with them. They're not going to be around forever.

The fact I can hear my foghorn-voiced, busybody, nosey neighbour's every utterance from 70 yards away is a constant TA. Go and poke your nose far, far away.

Is it compulsory for every white van workman to whistle and act the goat constantly? New neighbours have been getting their house gutted and renovated for the last EIGHT months with these Mockney muppets 'working'. And, of course, once they finally move in, they'll expect me to be a bright and breezy neighbour. Fcuk off.

Selfish pedestrians who smoke. There they go, about 15 ft ahead, and either you have to breathe in their foul stench, or you have to run ahead of them to get away for some clean air. Get them - and their vile habit - to fcuk!

5rtytry56 · 22-07-2015 12:40PM

In a similar vein of Mr Spaceman's experience, I was recently on the train from Galway to Dublin. In the same carriage as myself was this "business woman", a good bit down the carriage. Her voice still carried quite audibly down the carriage though, as she rambled on with her smartphone about the low performance of her hotel/restaurant subordinates, bashing their reputation as much as she could. Utterly manky in a professional sense tbh.
Annoying trainpassengers don't just come from stag/hen parties for that matter, and can be quite mature in years when it comes to it.

scdublin · 22-07-2015 01:48PM

When people don't stir mince whilst it's cooking and it ends up turning into cooked lumps of meat. I just hate it.

When people insist on not breaking spaghetti in half so that it actually fits in the saucepan straight away. It's going to taste the same so just throw it in there and get it cooking ffs. Had someone insist on keeping it intact once so I left her to it. She ended up having the flame turned up too high and it burnt the spaghetti that was hanging over the pan. *evil smirk*

At work, we have those drinking water taps to fill up your water bottles or cups with. They can be left switched on so you don't have to keep your finger on the trigger but I can't even remember how many times I've walked by and it's been left running. Wasteful swines.

This fella I've been seeing recently. Lovely lad, funny, kinda cute, super down to earth.. Sounds good right? Its only casual really, I didn't want anything serious. And all of a sudden he's talking about a relationship and waiting a year for sex..

Really annoyed. I dont want a boyfriend and definitely ain't waiting a year for him
