People that bring babies into the office.

No I don't need to hear your screaming crying brat when I'm trying to get some work done.

Congratulations on the sex btw... ugh.

Yes. Our office admin dictator, who is usually busy doing nothing (or organising cake sales for charity, which seems to justify spamming everyone with several emails a day), took it one step further. She banned babies to be brought into the office for health and safety reasons, then withdrew the ban when she had successfully ejected her own devil spawn. I actually hope she trips over a baby in the office some day and breaks her neck. No more cake.

TA'd that I had my flu jab this afternoon and I should have rescheduled because I realised beforehand that one of my lovely visitors has given me a cold, so now I have a cold, and tomorrow I'll probably have some flu like symptoms and I'm already run down and I have a cold sore

I've got a feckin' cold too, 2nd one in about 3 months

edit: why do I persist in buying/taking expensive powdered paracetamol (with lemon flavour!)

Sorry you're feeling rough, but thanks for reminding me it's flu jab season. I got the flu jab last year but they were out of the pneumonia jabs and I never went back for it and I've had 5 courses of antibiotics for 2 chest infections:( I'm making sure I get both shots this year, damned immunosuppresants.

Years ago my GP told me the best thing for that was a hot whisky, but I've found that multiple hot whiskys work even better, you can even pop a shot into the lemsip.:D

Nothing says awkward like when you drop a glass, and you think you've cleaned it all up, when your OH goes -

"You've missed loads, are you blind?"

The awkward moment then when she realises, worse when she feels bad, while I'm trying not to laugh :pac:

After breaking the shower panel and the glass I think it might be time for you to stay away from any glass objects.;)

People who can't put L plates on their car properly annoys the trivial bejaysus out of me.

Should be 3 points on the license, a month off the road and extra expensive bus ticket prices applied immediately

Lets not forget the new phenomenon that is the 'Z' plate driver.

Watching people driving into the driving licence place in Leopardstown, (Biiig car park,with Dunnes stores)
4 cars parked assways at an angle, leaving little room between doors of other cars.
1 over the whiteline of parking space and one drove thru the NO ENTRY way,
They should be watched driving in, then passed when its their turn,

My wife is clearly trying to deny me cheese. For the second time today the cheese was removed from my immediate grasp. At least she didn't bite a chunk out of it again.

Marriage deal breaker cheese.

Those old people walking on country roads who stop and stare at you when you're driving. Eh, I'm from the area.

I'm feeling a bad cold coming on. To make matters worse I grabbed a lemsip and tore it open without looking: it was the blackcurrant flavoured one. :mad: I don't want it to go to waste so here I am struggling to down it. My only solace when i have a cold is lemon-flavoured lemsip.

Are ya the only Rosie in the village?

getting an itch somewhere near you jiggly bits when you're out walking - can't stop and jam your hands down without looking like you're going full paedo.
people think you're scratching your hoop but it was just your inside leg.

the little horizontal time bar on my phone when playing a long mp3 like a documentary .... someone says something interesting you want to hear back at like 20:00 minutes .....but if you want to go back the bar is so small that when you try to bring the cursor back you end up either 45:00 minutes in or 05:00 minutes in.

also related: the noise of cars - cant even hear headphones at high volume, its just sccccruuuuuushhhhh, woooooooooooosh every 2 seconds from the fvckers.

There's a certain amount of hostility directed with that stare so I doubt it's pleasure they're after unless they're frustrated ... :P

It's not even on the way to the village but I believe I'm certainly the only rosie in the townland. I couldn't tell you about the village, I don't associate with them. I have the misfortune of living on the road between two villages so I'm viewed with a certain amount of suspicion from both sides. :rolleyes:

justchecked · 08-10-2015 10:22PM

that reminds me - joggers and walkers on certain rural backroads with blind bends.

think ill just go and run along the side of a narrow rural road with no footpath today whats the worst that could happen.

yes the one connecting the industrial area with the town looks good, think ill go about ... oh 17:30 sounds good.

People mispronouncing names like Coutinho and Moutinho (football players).

It's not cootinho (like boot) it's more like 'coat'inho.

Also, the 'inho' is like 'eenyoh' not 'ee-i-yo'!

Don't get me started on the wonky pronunciation of any Portuguese word that has the ~ ...usually way off.

Robsweezie · 09-10-2015 01:31AM

Ever have a cold and your ears are all sensitive? When I stick a finger in my inner ears it hurts like they're bruised. And they pop when I swallow.

Ah sure that ~ tilda means it's a loose approximation, in which case any resembling pronouciation will do!
