Ah you have a door. I don't even have a door. I'm in an open-plan warren.

I want a door, damn it. And a Ron Swanson style Claymore mine pointed at it.

Even managers don't get doors 'round hereabouts. I cried because I had no door, until I met a man who had no desk.

I hate when someone rings my doorbell, and then gives the door a rap afterwards. I don't care how important you think you are. I won't answer the door to hawkers

You're gonna hate tomorrow night so. You'll be up and down off the couch every 5 minutes with the trick or treaters

Presenter on 2fm at the moment - Tracy Clifford. Seems to think that Holloween is this weekend. Thought it was Halloween?? In fact listen out for any Rte report over the weekend and it will be Holloween all the way.

The bank holiday was Monday last, Hallowe'en is the 31st Oct, tomorrow night. I'm TA'd that you don't get this?

She's referring to Meeja types' habit of pronouncing things in that ridiculous "clyde abyte" faux-D4 accent, hence "Holloween".

Sorry, missed that, stupid contact lenses.

Not if I disconnect my doorbell....

I'm a member of Ulsterbank and live in Salthill, Galway where there is no Ulsterbank atm, but I can't use the AIB or BOI atms to actually check my bank balance, which means I have to troop a few mile to the town centre to actually read my balance which is annoying. Why can't I use the BOI or AIB atms to read my balance.

I chomped down on the inside of my cheek whilst eating an apple.
I got such a shock when it happened; now I'm all bloody and it stings.

Online/mobile banking kicks pimply ATM bottom, I have to say.

Fk that... I take the batteries out of the doorbell!

In a way the comparatively recent trend for decorating houses is a good thing - it means the children can tell which houses are into it or not.

KatW4 · 30-10-2015 05:29PM

I have to teach tonight. The effort is already killing me and I've not even started!

TA'd that ever since Three took over O2, I keep getting random unsolicited texts telling me to 'call now for filthy girls ready for slutty action with you'

Sorry Three, but as someone with a) a girlfriend and b) a working internet connection I do not need to pay €3.05 p/minute for the above.

TheNobleKipper · 30-10-2015 08:07PM

Where is this "pay in advance before filling up your car" trend coming from...almost every petrol station I went to lately now requires that you do that. I don't like it! What if I just want to fill up the tank to the brim and don't know how many litres exactly that will be???

Most stations I've seen that in effect only seem to do it after the doors close and you have to use the window. Do you usually fill up late at night?

I could do without the rest of that but I love my mums pumpkin soup with bacon bits :P Though I haven't managed to convince my boyfriend to let me make it... yet

Shiny pages! Ugh... I really hate them!!! How hard is it not to have them shiny?!

Nope, during the day (usually). I understand why they'd do this late or at night but it's now happening during the day as well

dubscottie · 30-10-2015 08:37PM

Pre-paying for petrol is a nightmare if you own a motorbike.. Most have no fuel gauge and smallish tanks so its guess work as to how much to put in.. Sometimes it may be €8, other times €15..

I just walk down to the station with a jerrycan and top up the tank from that before I head out. Easier..

Rubberlegs · 30-10-2015 09:27PM

I was putting bleach down the toilet and managed to slop it over my black jog pants. Cheap as they were I'm p1ssed off as I only got them last week

KungPao · 30-10-2015 09:32PM

When I decide, on a whim, that I'll pick up a 6 pack...and even though I got them from the fridge in the offie, the first can is slightly too warm and I have to wait for the second one to truly enjoy the experience.

Devastating!

Pop the first one in the freezer 20 mins ago or so before you start drinking them, then put no2 in when you take it out, repeat for no.3 and so on.

Use your nugget!

Yep, that's what I do. Fire them all in the fridge bar the first, that goes in the freezer. When that comes out another goes in

I take figures of speech literally - I shouldn't but I can't help it!

Stuff like "Is it just me or..." in relation to something that obviously isn't just them.

Misuse of "Everyone" - "Everyone is saying such and such" when a few people are.

And the most annoying: "There's nothing worse than" in relation to something so bloody trivial (yes I'm aware of the irony

) - eh... actually there is worse than that - a lot worse!

You would hate me.

In work earlier I said there's nothing worse than a crap cup of tea... Nothing worse.

That's the one that was on the Late Late a minute ago.

Bloody hell, the whole show is shocking, and I'm not easily fazed, but Jesus H. Christ, it's absolutely dismal, and now Ivan Yates?

At least Gay Byrne had Spike Milligan!
