    Some fat f*ck phlumped down beside me on the luas this morning. I normally sit on the outside seat to avoid this*, but I slipped up this morning and this bint came flying over from nowhere to take up 50% of her seat, 20% of mine and 50% of the aisle. And even more annoying, every time I moved away a bit she moved closer. If I could've climbed out the window I probably would have.

    *related TA is how people get really het up about this. Killed in the rush to come over and ask if they can have the seat I am already on. Er...no? Because I am already on it? But you can have the other free one, I don't mind standing up and letting you sit in there but you cant sit on the one I already have my bum on :) Been squashed up against the window by smelly, sweaty, pervy passengers too many times to be making that mistake again...

    Wait, what happened to the other 50% of her seat?

    People who agree to met you off done deal or adverts to buy something off you and you get everything ready for them and last min sorry not buying anymore or they don't txt you back when you ask are you still coming to buy the phone or game ....

    Yes! This happened me a while back, even after I'd knocked a hundred quid off the asking price. This fella all set to buy a snooker table, asking for directions etc then I get a text saying, "sorry cant buy the table, the missus wants to get new kitchen furniture instead" - so I said* well screw you you beta male, you deserve your miserable life with your alpha wife. Forego a bit of manly fun because she wants a new sink then. hen pecked moron.

    (in my head)

    I was on a roll too, haven't had a week off sick in years, had 3 days off this year for hospital appointments (2 last yr and no days off at all in 2013) I got called in by boss on behalf of head office last week about my excessive sick leave, 3 absences within 6 months, FFS, why bother be good?

    I know! I was only thinking this at the weekend. I'm 8 years without a promotion now too and everyone around me is being promoted left right and centre. I'm clearly doing something wrong. They're all, "ah ONW,s ure she's very reliable, we might as well leave her where she is, sure f*ck her anyway".I think what happens is that you set your own standard and then people judge you according to that rather than an overall standard that everyone is judged by.

    It shrank into itself when it saw her lumbering towards it, such was it's fear.

    Grief vultures. There was a death in the town last night, won't go into details in case any relatives are reading this, but as soon as someone heard about it they started posting on facebook. What made it worse was that it was done in a hush hush, 'I won't name the family, but I've got some gossip that the rest of ye don't know yet' kind of tone that had other people asking what had happened. I mean ffs, what is wrong with some people?:mad:

    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

    But how will they get their train fare to Wexford? :P

    John Travolta's jaw. It actually has a life of it's own. The thing is still growing.

    My eyes are bigger than my tummy. Ate way too much at lunch there....and now just want to go to bed rather than do anything resembling work.
    Boards is banjaxed, so it will probably be Wednesday before any of ye read this!

    A friend of mine got really sh1tty with me a while ago, accusing me of "reneging" all the time and never being around to meet up. In fairness to him, I don't have a bundle of time, but in fairness to me, I work full time, I study and I run a small animal shelter from my own home. Plus I have a ball and chain called a partner. All my friend has is work. That's it. He goes to work, he comes home. He doesn't have to do housework because they have a cleaner. He doesn't have pets. he is not in college. He is single. Fine, to each their own, but he seems to think I should have as much free time as him. :(

    I decided to make more of an effort so the weekend of the All Ireland final I invited him out to watch the match. He said no problem (assuming we would drink in town). When I suggested my local, he couldn't make it (I know he jut wasn't bothered because he didn't want to travel). Weekend after, I invite him out with a group. He's "too tired" to go (what he means is, he doesn't want to mix with the group, wants me just to himself).

    Really annoying.

    From some naive fool that actually thinks they're going somewhere also whats with them always asking if you have spare change, who has extra money (except Donald Trump), especially at the bus stop I obviously can't afford my own car so I can hardly afford to throw money at drug addicts and scammers :( TA'd because it happened again today, maybe because my OH hasn't trimed his beard or dressed fancy that I already support a homeless man :D

    I had an interview earlier and after the interview, hopped into my car and looked down. It's only then I noticed I forgot to change my shoes!:( The black pair are useless for driving. I was in such a rush (I was almost late), I wasn't even thinking of shoes. I'm hoping he didn't notice.

    People who run with buggys, are they trying to kill someone. And then give a dirty look when someone doesn't get out of there way.

    If you want to go for your afternoon run with child do it somewhere more quiet, not a busy footpath

    If I'm reading that right, they go jogging or running or whatever, and they have the buggy in front of them?

    What do they even look like? :pac:


    I really hope it doesn't catch on, but given the trends lately for portmanteau'd exercises such as pilloxing and that other stationary cycling fad (that was acceptable in the 80's), I can see this one already being called -

    'prambulating', or 'bogging' :(

    It's been around for a few years, usually favoured by mummies in lycra who think the pram is a battering ram for pedestrians:rolleyes:

    The posts in this thread are all muddled up. I'm seeing some from today, then yesterday, todays and then loads of them repeated.

    Me and my friend lost our snap streak on snapchat. Made it to 93 days but didn't get to 100.

    I have musical rehearsals later and I really couldn't be bothered going out in that weather.

    I'm just having a day full of trivial annoyances.
