Having to get flights out of Dublin at 6:40am, just so I wouldn't have to go tonight!!

I swore I'd never get those stupid 6-7am flights anymore!! but at the same time 1 night in a hotel away is better than 2 nights away!

Sums it up really -

'This has to be, hands down, one of the worst natural birthing ideas anyone has ever had,' science journalist Christie Wilcox wrote in Discover in 2013.

Incidentally, that reminds me: "Darwin" was the name of the dolphin in SeaQuest DSV... no, I'm not sure how that's relevant either

Shop assistants who drop your change into your hand from about six inches above it. If human contact freaks you out so much, don't work in a job that might occasionally involve incidental human contact.

There's an aul wan' who works at the checkouts in our local Dunnes and she's notorious for it. No wonder she always has the fewest customers queing at her checkout, seriously, no matter how busy the place is customers will join a longer line to queue rather than go to that ignorant old bitch.:mad:

And the way you can't bring it back to 8 if you don't like 10, it kinda seems like fixing something that isn't really broken, but I heard 10 is more user friendly

Oooops, from a distance, I saw a neighbour putting a plastic bag of rubbish BESIDE the litter bin on the next road. I was out walking.

Miserable old so and so. The one with the big car and the double height extension. Wouldn't pay for the bin.

Feckin raging to see that kind of thing. Then the dogs get the bags, and next thing it's all over the road, and the kids get blamed for being feckers.

And before anyone says anything, I am not going to report her. But if I see her doing it again, I will say something. I am fuming.

So not TA'd but VERY ANNOYED.

And breathe..... there could be worse things happening I suppose.

Every last one of the ice cube bags in the box did not self seal. Fill it, turn it upside down, water pours back out. Then I have to balance them semi upright in the freezer so they don't spill. I'm so sick of stuff not doing what it's supposed to, like the ham packets that don't reseal, and the tabs on bags of pasta etc sticking for a couple of seconds then popping off again

+1
what was wrong with the ice cube bags you tied a knot in, why can you only buy these so called self seal ones now?!!

Was in a restaurant earlier with my other half and the place was fairly quiet, only about four tables filled. This girl walked in and handed in her cv, there were two male staff present and one took her cv and said he'd have a look through it and get back to her. She walked off looking chuffed with herself. The two of them then begin to rip the absolute sh1t out of the poor girls cv very loudly. She had attached a photo and one even said "cover up her picture there will ya". I was disgusted they actually put me off my food.

They went through all her experience one by one and laughed at it, all the while customers could hear. We were going up to pay and my boyfriend said to one of the guys "do ye accept tips", the waiter said "sure ya", my bf then says "okay here's a tip, next time try to not rip the absolute piss out of some poor girls cv in front of your paying customers". They guy was absolutely mortified and just said "okay.." Can safely say I won't be going back there again.

People boarding planes, and their sitting in row 17 (I can clearly see their boarding card) yet they still stop at every second row to check what the row number is, you know, just in case the rows are numbered 2,3,4,5,15,22!! They also have to discover all over again at each and every row where the row number is located, because airlines like to mess with you and put the row number in a different location at every row.
They'll also ceck their boarding card 7/9 times on the way to row 17 because, you know, boarding cards have a habit of changing numbers, just to fcuk with you!!!

You should have asked for management and lodged a complaint.

Is putting your picture on your CV the done thing now?

They sound like an absolute pair of dopes btw fair play for putting them in their place.

Bloody rural broadband is worse than normal this morning. To add insult, there is a thread with someone giving out that they can only get 100 MB even though they signed up for 240MB. What the hell are you going to do with 240MB?

arayess · 02-09-2015 08:50AM

it annoys me when people arguing about the rights and wrongs of foreigners use the argument "what about the irish people abroad" doubly annoying if they use examples from famine time.
I don't see the reasoning in that argument but it's repeated so often it now annoys me

This made me laugh. It is so true. Some people seem to leave any bit of sense, not to mention consideration for others, at home, when they are going on a flight.
Pleas from the staff for people to get into their seats, and not block the way of others trying to board go unnoticed / unheard. 'What, sure haven't I to remove my jacket, fold it lovingly, place it in the overhead bin, chat to the person beside me, take the jacket back down...' All while they stand, blocking the way, apparently completely unaware that other people need to get to their seats too.

Speaking as the teacher who had to welcome the kids back to school today, parents are the worst!!! I was in first class today, so the children have been coming to school for a while now. One parent had to follow us in to the classroom, take off her son's coat and bag and hang it up, walk him to his seat and then make a big deal of hugging and kissing him! Go away!!!!! It's the parents who upset the kids on the first day.

I'll say it for the rest of my teaching life, parents are the worst part of the job. I vow never to annoy my children's teachers with the nonsense that I am forced to listen to.

On the plus side, it was a lovely day full of colouring and reading stories. It's not all bad.

Just back from dropping my young fella off on his first day.
Parents had to drop off at the classroom door. No parents allowed in side the class room. It's a good system...no parental messing. Also no tears from kids or parents today.
I had to hold mine in!

On the subject of boarding planes, when the announcement "would those in seats 1 to 12" is made, but the numpties in seats 35 join the queue.

The plane's not leaving without you, ya tube.

Idiots starting clothing collections for Calais, wtf is that about, they aren't refugees they are ECONOMIC MIGRANTS:mad: If they want to make a difference they could start helping the homeless in this country or people who genuinely need help. Honestly, some people need a foot lodged firmly up their holes.

I know you're pain and anybody moaning about 100 Mbps needs a good kick in the hole.

I could be wrong, but I would have assumed an economic migrant was like, for example, an Irish plumber who cannot get work, applies through the correct channels for work in USA, Australia etc. as far as I know, the people in Calais are a diverse mix who have travelled great distances and risked all sorts, to get to the UK. Now the bit of the UK I have seen, was not all that great, so I can only assume most of these people have left some real ****holes if they want to get there. From what I have seen, they are broke, homeless, tired and hungry. If sending an old pair of my trousers and and a small financial donation is going to brighten their day, what harm.

There's a massive difference between an Irish person emigrating and doing things legally and hundreds of thousands of people trying to force their way into Europe. The Irish plumber isn't costing freight companies a fortune while lorries sit in massive tail backs outside Calais. The Irish plumber isn't threatening truck drivers or trying to hide in the back of vehicles to illegally enter Europe. Ireland has always been very good at taking care of foreigners and turning a blind eye to our own poor.

What you do with your trousers and money is your choice, but before sending clothes and money abroad perhaps we should eradicate poverty and need in this country. There are poor and desperate Irish people who could do with some new clothes and a few quid to help them out.

Actually approximately 62% of those coming to Europe are from Syria, Afghanistan and Eritrea (UN figures). A whopping 38% alone are from Syria which has been bombed to bits since March 2011. They are refugees, not migrants, and under the 1951 Refugee Convention we are legally obliged to help them.
