    I hate that I get all narky and snappy in the week leading up to that time of the month.

    I hate how it makes me feel and how cranky I get towards my other half.
    But I can't help it; even though I wish I didn't carry on like that, it's just something I can't control.
    I've never gotten nasty or anything, just irritated.
    From the other side of the fence my TA would be the way in which this ****ty behaviour is reserved for me...no tantrums in work, no teary-eyed jibberjabber to her folks, no rage outbursts to her friends...she saves it up just for me

    And if you dare ask her if she has PMT? Run for the hills.

    That annual web conference might be moving to Belfast next year due to the f-ups from the RDS broadband and overcharging by local hotels.

    Only problem is it leads to that inevitable question, "Does my arse look fat in this?"

    There are a number of ways to answer that, but all must stick to the same general theme.....


    "No"

    "No way."

    "Dear God no."

    "Feck no."

    "Are you well in the head?"

    "How is that possible?"

    "Are you crazy?"



    Remember, any deviation from the above will probably make your life not worth living.

    TA that the remote control for my hi-fi doesn't work anymore. And too much of a hoo-haa and expense to try and get it fixed.

    I've actually lost a lot of weight recently and my OH turned around and said to me ''my god, your arse has gotten so much smaller'', and I looked worried and said ''it isn't too small now, is it?'' ,I like girls with nice big bums so I didn't want to have a small one myself. There's no pleasing us :pac:

    Places leaving outdated posters and leaflets up way past their time. Used to annoy me in school when a cake sale sign for march would still be there in June. Nobody bothering to take it down.

    I feel compelled to respond to this in an effort to move the conversation away from 'womens stuff'....

    People who give their kids surnames as first names.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 415 ✭✭FelineOverLord


    People knocking on my door to canvas. I don't know whether it was the fcukwitted water protestors or politicians but 3 car loads of them pulled up this evening with leaflets and were going en masse around the neighbourhood. I never answer the door to them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,350 ✭✭✭Cortina_MK_IV


    I've a sign on the wall... No canvassers, salespeople etc. Works a treat. :)

    I could be wrong but I think FelineOverLords sign might be a bit more strongly worded:D

    Rude customers. And rude people in general. :mad:

    Its worse when the name and surname are similar, eg Connor O'Connor

    I have no sympathy for a fellow man who doesn't know how to defuse the Antichrist his lady as her time approaches :pac:. A wise man should know that providing copious supplies of chocolate, chocolate and then some more chocolate for their lady, has saved many a life.

    Thanks for the tip

    You look at people like that and you just think "are you seeing yourself right now?" intentionally rude ones are the worst.

    TA'd by teeth gore. Teeth pulled out, infected teeth, teeth surgery. All of it. I hate gore in general, Fake gore is grand, and grossish stuff like popping cysts is just fine, but teeth? Don't want to know.

    People who stand in entrances talking.

    Yes, and you do hear them sometimes. Ryan Ryan and Brian O'Brien being other examples.

    The only thing worse is when 2 people with the same name, a unisex name like Jamie or Francis get married. Then you have 2 Jamie Dalys who are married to each other, nothing worse than it. When a letter comes in the post, who is it for ? WHO

    Don't forget the needle and thread.......for when she needs to sew your balls back on.

    My parents are called Paula and Paul, very annoying! Also I have fmarried riends called Stacey and Tracey! Tongue twister names!

    I keep grinding my teeth in my sleep and it's starting to really bug me. I'm like a tightly coiled spring of tension and stress. Oh, it turned out to be the Shinners out looking for votes for one of their candidates. There'll be no votes for SF in this family.:D

    Just to clarify, I meant that as our balls in general, not just yours in particular:D

    I know, I know, but I just wanted to get that point out to the brothers.

    When you're driving somewhere (in town/the city), and you know it's usually hit & miss when it comes to finding a parking spot where your going (more on the miss side), and as your getting closer, you see a spot and think "feck it, I'm having it, not taking the chance" and park there. Then when your walking the 400-500 metres to your destination you see loads of free spaces much closer to where you're going (bonus points when it's pi$$ing rain).

    Then, other times, the complete opposite effect,
    Your driving there, see you're space (the banker, from above), and think "feck it, I'll be brave, and go a little closer, sure there's always loads of spaces free much closer", and when you get there, get closer, nada, not 1 free space, you've to drive all the way around again, and to make matters worse, someone has parked a smart car in 'the banker'

    Who cares who you do or don't vote for though? It's just better to leave personal politics out of such a good thread imo.
