Agreeing to provide a reference for a former part-time staff member from a few years back, and then getting a reference request from their potential future employer with about fifty million questions... Why so many.....??? go away.

There might be a bit of OCD involved here, but it really anoys me that the 50 cent coin is bigger than the €1 coin. Like seriously. . Why would someone think that it be a good idea?

The 5 and 10 cent coins doesn't really bother me because that just gets thrown into a cup but every time I take change out of my pocket and go to stack it on the side board, I say dam you Merkel.

All depends on the extent of the impact it has on your life really, but tbh I'd say if it's just a case of it really annoying you, then probably not ' a bit of OCD', or any other mental health condition really

Remember when we had the Punt, and the 50p coin was like an Heptagon or something. All the others coins were round but the 50p was the only one that stood out because it was a different shape

Not OCD at all Charlie, but it's kinda useful for people with visual impairments

Getting my days mixed up, going in to watch a programme and catch-up and realising I'm already up to date with it.

Idiots that go walking in the pitch black around a blind turn, with no pavement, in dark clothes and no reflective jackets or lights.

Do you want to get knocked down? I was cycling home from somewhere one day and almost cycled into one of them.

whatismyname · 04-11-2015 09:33PM

Looking back over old facebook photos where I don't belong, to the point that I'm practically torturing myself.

Savage Tyrant · 04-11-2015 09:46PM

Me: "hello, can a book an appointment to see the doctor please"

Receptionist: "No problem, we are quite busy though so it will be the week after next. Next available appointment is Tuesday the 17th... Do you want morning or afternoon?"

Me: "Neither thanks... I'll be better or dead by then."

Did the chemist give you the third degree? They usually me feel like I am trying score crystal meth or heroin.

Same here!! Last time I was buying tampax with them and they asked me what they were for!!!!! Kinda waved my other purchase around and had to actually tell them. Pharmacist said I would need to go to the GP for prescription if "my problem" persisted.

Haha only 30 odd years of it 'persisting'.

It is 7.15am on a drizzly, depressing morning and I would love to be in bed, but instead, no, I have to sit on the luas and watch some absolute attention seeking, hippie looking, smug **** stain opposite me do his morning stretches.

This involves hanging off the bar with his feet dangling in the air, using the bar to stretch forward and back, neck and shoulder rolls, arms out to side while holding up one leg in the air at a time etc. And the hip gyrations I had to endure while sitting eye level with his crotch were the icing on the cake.

And all the while he was emitting little sighs and had a look on his face like he was just about to reach multiple orgasm.

I feel like I'm missing out for not having experienced some of the stuff that goes on on the Luas, you don't really see that many eccentric types around Limerick...

(although in saying that, there's that whole - if you can't spot the eccentric type, you are the... and really, I'm not!

If you're on the red line there's a chance that it's just a strung out junky getting extreme twitches.

There is a skater boy or skater man? Well he looks about 45. He comes around to where i live to practice his skating skills. He uses the path to do his jumps.

He always parks right in front of my house, takes off his top, does a few lunges and squats in front of my window and then jumps on his skateboard down the road.

I dont know how to feel about him. Sometimes he repulses me, other times, id admire the fact that he just doesnt give a ****

There is some one behind me on the bus that keeps saying " xxxx is my fave thing";
Constantly.

At lunchtime yesterday I had to endure the sight of some gom in full lycra gear in the middle of Eyre Square in Galway spread along a bench doing press-ups.
How sad must it to be so insecure that you have to have the general public witness you doing a basic exercise that you'd normally do at home.
Gom.

TA that no one is answering my Community Employment query in the State Benefits forum.

Just heard an ad for Supervalu, but the female voice pronounced Super as 'see-you-per'.

I'm more of a 'soup-or' man myself!

Im in work today with nothing at all to do. It's harder to pretend to work than actually work. Doesn't help that my pc screen faces my office door and instantly viewable to anyone who walks in.

I'm in the same boat.

It is a **** boat.

Waiting around for something to be delivered. Couldn't get an estimate either, just 'today'. Deliver it already!

While looking out the window watching a dog crap on the communal green, a spider came down the outside of the window and then a bee/wasp came and grabbed the spider and went off with it, never seen that before, and the dog fecked off too leaving it parcel while I was distracted.

Seeing there is a new post on one of my other favourite threads, get all excited only to find it's not a new story but a jokey/ smart ass reply to a post before it. I need to get out more !
