Driving to work this morning, 85km down, 2 to go, oil light started flashing turned off stereo, heard a strange loud flicking/ticking noise coming from engine, pressed the clutch, car died, waited a few minutes, started again same noise, got off the motorway at a roundabout, died with a CLUNK all dash lights on, never had an ounce of bother in 155600km, now this,
It didn't sound cheap,
In the lap of the gods now, well the main dealer (cringe)

That sounds non-trivial, to be honest. Hope it's nothing too serious.

Posted in the trivial things that make you happy thread yesterday instead of posting here.

Could have sworn I was in the right thread. I'll blame the jumpy pages.

Is there a specific reason why hairdryers in hotels are such crappy quality? IN EVERY HOTEL!!!

I poked myself in the eye with a mascara wand.
Now my eye is watering, ergo my mascara is running so that means my eye is all bloodshot, my lashes are wet and sticking together to create mono-lashes and I've black all around my eyes.

Just had to move to a different table cos a guy wearing way too much cologne was sitting near me while I was having my lunch, it was so distracting!

Impatient parents. There is a woman on this bus with me and her toddler daughter keeps accidentally dropping her toy on the ground and her mother keeps getting angry and being aggressive. She isn't even paying attention to her at all
I dno, it annoyed me when I saw it so.

1) Driving behind someone for about 20 mins this morning who had their rear fog lights on. It wasn't in the least bit foggy. I actually felt my blood bubbling. I needed a strong cup of coffee to combat the headache from the glare.

2) People who enter aa large roundabout and feel that they now have ownership over the entire roundabout until they take their exit. Just no. If you come across someone else, simply slow down like you would on any other part of the road instead of thumping your fist on the horn.

And breath..!

Some newspapers and politicians getting a place name so wrong when they use Irish,
Carrickmines in Irish is

Carraig Mhaighin, which means plateau of rock

NOT.

Carraig Maonais, which means...... are ya ready....... Mayonnaise.

Think the builders may have preferred the latter when they went building underground carparks , (hint is in the name lads)

That the price increase on cigarettes will be effective from midnight but we have to wait until January to get our extra few euro a week back in our wages

I remember the shop in Eastpoint business park used to apply the increase on cigarettes minutes after the minister announced it. Pure profiteering.

Glad I dont smoke anymore. Come join the fun No Smokers Club!

Yes, like those f*ckwits who sign off , "best" - best what? Or are you too busy to insert another word? Perhaps you're being charged per word?

Worst.

Kids are fat from too much sugar. It's because they don't get children portions anymore for meals.

Every single day of this job, going to lunch, my boss has asked me if I want something from the shops while he's out. Every single day I have said no thanks I'm going out myself soon.

Christ that annoys me. Every single day.

What a bastard.....being nice like that

Some day Gongoozer..... some day, you'll be stuck at your desk, slaving away and distraught knowing you won't be able to pop out for lunch... but alas!!
Your saviour! Every day he's asked you, and today will be no different... Your predicament of hunger will be no more as he'll be your knight in shining armour, ready to purchase foodstuffs for you... but will today be the day he asketh no more?
Do you wish for that day to arrive Gongoozer?
Do you?

TA - people who walk past my desk in the morning and don't say hello / good morning back as I greet them.
FFS, just fupping acknowledge you freaks! I'm trying to help your morning!
I guess not everyone is a morning person...

I know he's being nice, so is my other colleague when she does the same thing ten minutes later. It's not the point. It's fcuking irritating. It's fine if you wouldn't find it irritating, good for you, I do.

Do the following:
When he asks, respond with:

'Hold on.... eh...... (give it a few annoying seconds) I think I need........(more seconds of silence), nah, you're ok'

Do it every.single.day

local children on the area outside my home, constantly falling and crying out for their mother.
do they not realise this means I have to turn up the volume.

they'd want to cop themselves on.
