Ah it's ok, it's only a subset of people who think it that annoy me. I'm not making sense, so I'll shut up now.

Flying ants.
I don't care that they're only flapping around for a day or two I hate the buggers.
The wall outside my house was heaving with them the other day and we've never had a problem with ants before.
Even had a nightmare about them infesting my house.
I'm not usually a squeamish person with bugs no problem with spider or any other creepy crawlies but I would happily take a flame thrower to these winged demons.

I did, the weed burner that I got in Lidl or Aldi last year, sizzled hundreds of them yesterday and today, so dense were they, they crackled when it went on them,

The satisfaction of that would be amazing.

The weather set to improve just as I have to go back work.

I'd extend that to any excuse RTÉ use to raid the bins and put shït on TV!

Workers being allowed to have 5min smoke breaks throughout the day. Can I have a few kindle mins since I don't smoke? Should be allowed to. Or better yet, add them all up and get an early finish.

Taking off a new pair of socks and there are loads of tiny threads all over my lower legs and feet.

I guess that's what you get when you get the cheapest pack in Penneys .

I decided to put the clotheshorse out in the sun yesterday, then I discovered that two birds shat all over my cardigan

When renting a car I need to get a child booster seat for the young fella.
One of these would do the job.
Costs just a few euro.
But car rental companies want to charge me €30 for something like this for 1 week! Rip off...but the only option I have is to pay or bring my own booster seat from Ireland...on a ryan air flight.
Aarrrgggghhh.

Yeah, that's very annoying. I live in a terraced townhouse type thing and the front gardens are literally just a 2 foot by 4 foot patch of grass in front of the house.

My two nearest neighbours seem to spend most of their evening out front smoking and "working" on their ****box cars and they are about 5 feet from my front door at all times.

Mousewar · 11-08-2015 02:39PM

Tired legs. Press button for lift. No response. Press button again. No response.
Sigh...lift is broken.
Shuffle up three flights of stairs.
See two women gasbagging to each with their foot in the lift door to stop it closing.

if it's an investment, I saw some parents with these on my hols:http://www.halfords.ie/kids-zone/car-seats-bases/booster-seats/trunki-boostapak-booster-seat
It's a cool backpack for kids that doubles up as a booster seat.
you may be able to get them cheaper elsewhere?

TA - Tuesdays.
I hate Tuesdays!!

Thanks for that. Its only 15€ more than renting a booster...so not too much of an investment.

Child next door cries all day. And night.
From about 5am til around 10pm. All day. Child's about 1 and is crying as I type. He sounded like he was getting sick from crying.
I don't know if he's being ignored or whatever but my Jesus I cannot take much more of this.

There's a site called bubblebum it does inflatable ones, but just had a look it's E35.
Here's the site anyway if you're curious. http://bubblebum.ie/bubblebum/

that's pretty much why I'm glad I live in the arse end of nowhere with about one elderly neighbour who we never see.

You know RyanAir let you bring a buggy plus a car seat / booster for free.

Was just about to post the very same info! We are flying in December with Ryanair and renting a car on the other side. We can bring two carseats and a stroller free.

Those of you who remember me posting about bitchiness in grown women? (I posted in this thread recently about some girls I've gotten to know in the gym I joined recently and they're isolating me)..

Well one of the women apparently put on 2lbs this week.
I was weighed this morning and lost 4 and a half.
Now the aforementioned woman is ignoring me completely.

Just ignore them. You're not in school anymore and you don't have to even leave Boards for bitchy comments. Also sounds like jealousy.

Life is forever too short for that messing....how old are they FFS (without giving away your age!)

McChubbin · 11-08-2015 11:02PM

Trivially annoyed that I'm still not used to the feeling of food brushing against the newly exposed gum line left over from my tooth extraction two week ago. When will I ever be able to chew food on the right side of my mouth?

It doesn't hurt- just feels mildly uncomfortable.
Also annoyed that I really want to join LootCrate but I can barely afford to pay €26 a month for a subscription "clutter" service.
I've got enough junk clogging up my room.
Lastly, the lock on my bedroom door broke last night so now it sways noisily in the breeze.

NOS3 · 11-08-2015 11:07PM

TA that I can't stop watching fair city.

It's absolutely horrible but it's more of a habit now. It is good bonding time with my dad though. All we do is complain about everything in the show.

Bridge93 · 11-08-2015 11:32PM

Obvious but TV ad breaks. They always seem to be right at the crunch moment.

Have been watching a lot more on BBC and Netflix recently and it's so refreshing not being interrupted every 10-15 minutes.
