    Ah Ryan isn't that bad. Are all celebs hated on here ?

    Just the ones that are poor at their 'job' and cost the taxpayer a rumoured half a million a year.

    Being made feel guilty for not staying out late after an event.

    Ethnic minority (?) women around the town in their PJ's during the day.
    They can put on their massive earrings and their badly applied fake tan
    but yet can't be bothered to get dressed!
    WTF ?

    You should watch "pyjama girls," it's a very interesting look at this phenomenon. If you're going to get all worked up over what strangers wear, it's only fair to try to see why they do it.

    The foil tops on Gl***sk yoghurt that can't be pulled open.
    I always wonder if anyone in Gl***so has ever tried to open one of their yoghurts.

    They're doubling up there, and no mention of a laundry service! I'd inquire about that. It's not an essential service, but I'd expect it in a four star hotel.

    No mention of suppling a Bible?

    Its better that they list it clearly though even if its expected so theres no room for error.

    my husband and i were passing through somewhere and stopped to stay in a b&b last minute. It was a bit of a kip but we needed somewhere that night. When we booked the room, they said the room included a shower. When we got into the room, there was a shower, literally in the corner of the room.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    Which brings me to another TA.
    Over the past few years you could get great random last minute deals in decent hotels. Not anymore. Any half decent hotel near dublin seems to be full price. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,686 ✭✭✭dirkmeister


    I get annoyed by paying full whack for a hotel but not having breakfast included in the price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,495 ✭✭✭KatW4


    I thought I was going to be late for my driving lesson so was rushing around. I'm 20 minutes early!

    I see your point there starling. But you're obviously missing mine

    Mates of mine booked a last minute room In Paris, described as en-suite. They weren't joking, the room had a shower cubicle, toilet and sink in one corner.

    Any product bought that say's ''Re-sealable''. It never closes properly again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,516 ✭✭✭paleoperson


    The fact that I can't park in front of the supermarket and then start eating what I bought because people will look funny at me (or at least it'll feel that way since I only eat healthy food like fruit or salad) so I have to move the car again to a less conspicuous place.

    It's a bit like saying, "Your room comes with a fitted door for privacy."

    Nothing worse than dopes making a big play of something which is a basic requirement.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,434 ✭✭✭Robsweezie


    I always leave the shops without trying anything on. With shirts I just grab a medium size and assume it'll fit me, and it always does. Jeans are harder to know. It's happened me once where I had to return ill fitting jeans when I tried them on at home and felt like a dope.

    I bought jeans about a week ago to be worn today specifically, without a clue as to whether they fit me, just guessing and assuming by the sizes. I only checked last night and they do fit me fine, but what if they didn't?! Ah **** it

    Family over for the weekend who would make Cara Delevingne feel like absolute ****e, let alone a normal person! People who value looks over intellect and personality really don't deserve people's energy :pac:

    I hate how lager makes my nose all stuffed.
    It ONLY happens with lager and it's bloody annoying as I do like it.

    Too tired to go to bed ;-(

    Formula 1 people saying "for sure".

    Football people saying "Yeah, as I said/like I said" when then they haven't said anything before that. This is a new one that I have noticed recently.

    E.g. So, *football player / manager*, what are your thoughts on today's result?
    Well, yeah, as I said, we are happy to get the three points today.

    What da **** is wrong with this site? According to Boards.ie the last post in this thread was at 12:19pm yesterday. The only way I can't read recent posts is if I click on post and then scroll down to see the recent posts.

    Yeah I kept staring at it and noticed they mention having a tv at least 4 times, definitely padding it a bit.

    TA'd that I got stopped 3 times by people who clearly weren't homeless asking for change, I wouldn't mind so much but they came up to me and didn't believe me when I said I had no change (could just about afford the bus myself) Then I found out a relative died and I'm paranoid 3 people in one day asking for money(and weird dreams last night), means bad things are going to happen
