When someone shows you a 'funny' video on their phone which is actually the complete opposite of funny but which they find hilarious.

Having to fake laugh and snigger for 3-4 mins is torturous.

TA that I'm a grumpy sh1te!

In the chemist at the weekend and there is a little kid, no more than 3 trying to destroy a display of body cream. He is pulling out all of the bottles and making a nice little pile on the ground. Meanwhile his mother is totally engrossed in trying to print photos from the photo machine. The screen is filled with photos of little ‘Georgie’. When she eventually notices what the little sh!t is up to she pops over, bends down and I think, yes, this Grade A brat is going to get his comeuppance now, but instead it’s all soft voice negotiations. ‘That’s not a nice thing to do Georgie is it? Put them back when you are finished’. And she returns to admiring photos of him and he fcuks off to another display and starts ‘expressing’ himself all over again.

I have plenty of experience with 3 year olds, having had two previously and one currently! None of mine have ever destroyed a display in a shop

Was he emptying the contents on the floor? If he was only re-arranging the bottles, lighten up. Hardly a "grade A little brat"

God save us from nouveau parenting. I've never been quite the same since I overheard my godson's mother telling him that his actions were "making baby reindeer cry" - kid didn't give a fúck about reindeer, baby or otherwise, and the state of said reindeer mental health.

Raindrop on phone screen. Go to wipe it away and the screen scrolls down.
Scroll back up.
Another raindrop.

Speaking of rain. You go out for a walk in the rain, and you have an umbrella, and you avoid the bulk of it.....you then arrive home, take down your umbrella.....and a few large drops fall off the porch and right down the back of your neck, as you are opening your front door

OldNotWIse · 17-11-2015 03:21PM

I wish I could mute the poxy coffee machine in our work canteen, Drives me fúckin nuts. Bang clatter bang. Hissing and grinding and whirring and more banging. The fúckin NOISE when people are emptying that yoke with the ground up beans, I swear to God some of them use it for anger venting therapy because there is no justification for how loudly they bang it.

Also, awaiting a delivery of cat food and managed to not mess it up this time and have been speaking to the driver and given him directions (because they can never find our house) and made sure someone would be there (my brother) and now I am calling to see if he signed for it...and his phone is turned OFF. I'll fúckin kill him if I get home and there's no delivery. May the wrath of an angry woman and 11 hungry cats beat down upon his stupid head :mad: I'll throw ham at his head and set the hungry cats at him!

And final TA is lately I appear to be giving off available signals and so far have been receiving raunchy texts from some poor guy in my class who has it bad and earlier an email that I had intended to send to a group of three people inviting them for lunch was accidentally sent to only one, and now he too is communicating to me that lunch alone would very much be a good thing and did I mean it and what it means.

Have to leave for my interview soon and off course now is the time it decides to rain

The very first screen (before you even start scanning things) has a volume symbol in the bottom right corner. Press that until mute symbol comes up. It's a secret though, don't tell anyone

That TA only ever happens when you are loved up. Never when you are actually single...

Whats the official ocd position if the leaf sticks to the window a third time ?

Do you clear it away since 3 is an uneven number and it means youre going to die, .... or do you have to clear it away and then stick it back a fourth time before getting rid of it since 4 is an even number and means everything is going to be ok.

A TV show I loved from 1999 that only ran one season ended on an unresolved cliffhanger. Last night I remembered that out of the blue and I got annoyed all over again.

New Home · 17-11-2015 03:58PM

My TA is that the above poster isn't telling us the name of that show. Now even I need to know...

They voice on the Tesco self service checkouts has changed. I don't like change.

I used to mostly go to Tesco for my shopping since it's almost located between home and work. Over the last few, I've being going to Dunnes more than I used to. When I've packed my last item at the self-service check-out, it says "Thank you for shopping at Dunnes!". In my head, I always say to the machine "No, you're supposed to say "Thank you for shopping at Tesco!"!!!!".

Because they are not allowed do whatever they like, whenever they like?

I am not for one minute suggesting my kids were always perfectly behaved, but they were never allowed go in to a shop and fcuk stuff all over the floor in order to amuse themselves.

Vel · 17-11-2015 04:22PM

Myself and the kids got caught in torrential rain on the way home from the school just there.

In order to halt the moaning and win the battle of who was wettest I foolishly decided to mention the fact that I was wet through to my knickers.

And then we got on the luas and everyone within hearing distance got to hear the impromtu 'Mummy has wet knickers' song

I was on a flight from Berlin last week with the kids. They were being loud messing. I was being loud messing with them. Mrs. Bap was trying to hush us. Grumpy grumpy grumpy angry people were guffawing around us.
I'm suprised I havnt seen any posts in this thread about that flight.
There are some situations were I encourage my kids, throwing crap around a supermarket is not on of those situations.

It's great to be reminded that my decision to limit as much as possible any dining breaks with my colleagues is well founded. In the canteen today and the conversation is about ears popping on planes (reason enough to never want to dine with them ever again you would think) and then the following from someone at the table....

'Myself and my whole family are always at our ears. We'll stick anything we can get our hands on into them to give them a good clean out. That's probably the reason I get pain in my ears on and off. We're always at it. It must be a family trait. HA'

....just as I took a spoonful of porridge

The irony, giving out about little Johnny rearranging a few bottles in a shop and then your own kids singing about dirt knickers on public transport, nice. :P
