People who sniffle ALL THE TIME! As in, they 100% don't have a cold but they just constantly sniffle out of habit. UGH!

Well, change the bloody weather and then we wouldn't have sniffy noses.

I don't want to be stuck with a tissue in my nose for eternity, better to just bust your nose with your fist as you warned it to stop running.

Why is the power button on every PC camouflaged? You get a full core workout while you try to locate it in the dark under the desk. It's no bother to find the CD disc drive even though you haven't used a CD for ten years. It's like the PC is sticking it's tongue out and mocking your efforts.

Go into any busy record/book/charity shop. There's always someone with a bag on their back so you can't pass by.

This probably only news to me but a new TA - croissants go off real quick.

( I have a bit of a grá lately for the Hazel/choc ones in Lidl, when it came to break time this morning the coffee machine in the only shop in the place I was in was broken so I did without. Had it there now - 'twas gone a bit rubbery - still finished it though!)

I never took much notice of him until someone told me he never stops blinking.
Now I can never watch him with noticing he-blinks-all-the-time.

And now you too cannot fail to notice

The new Iceland shop that opened this week with lots of fanfare. Went in today, huge queue but only one till open.

TA That my ex boyfriend, who does not talk to me, had to sit right beside me in an exam hall today and proceeded to distract me for the entire exam. No, it wasn't deliberate but it's still very annoying that he can distract me so much.
I even recognised his scent

When a croissant goes crusty and a bit stale on me, I eat it Spanish style (churros) and dip it into my latte, la di dah, just like that, gorgeous.

The guy on Radio Nova in the mornings, Marty something, the moment a guy comes on the phone line, it's all "yeah Man, that's great man, take care man". then says, "thanks for all the "shouts" on email and text", Who says that anymore?
Sounds like the old pirate stations when chungfellas were running them from their sheds.

When your card gets skimmed for the second time in just over 6 months :mad:

Awful isn't it. And the thing that gets me is, it's always used for online shopping things in my case anyway.

Now can someone please tell me WHY THE SECURITY CODE AT THE BACK IS NOT A PRIVATE PIN NUMBER, aargh! If your card is stolen, it couldn't be used for online shopping without that. Unless it is skimmed and cash withdrawn, which is different.

I've had some pretty unusual things pop up on my account (fraudulent use, not cash withdrawal), and I Just cannot figure out how it was done without the security code on the back. Bear in mind I never lost the card at all. It was used while the card was in my purse.

Someone could help me here maybe, it is so annoying trying to figure out how you were scammed!

Anyhow, once reported (or noticed by the bank first) all is reimbursed thankfully.

I'm not an expert on this, but I've had some exposure to this kind of stuff in work and apparently some banks will authorize cc transactions even if the number on the back doesn't match. Usually the payment system of an online shop should spot it though and decline it, but it's possible to disable that and just rely on the response from the authorizing bank.

selous · 09-12-2015 07:15PM

Some on line companys don't ask for that number on the back, mine was done twice, (few years back) and I asked how. The M50 toll was the easiest I was told, the 16 digit number on the front, some of it refers to the bank you're with, them numbers are the same on everyones card who is with that bank, then its just guess the rest, I was told, someone on a computer uses a reg number of any car and tries it over and over using different sequence of numbers each time, till it's accepted.
1 trip was successful on my card and the bank stopped the card, on the Friday of a Bank holl weekend, because banks are closed and you cant ring them to query it,
That's what I was told anyway.

I know I will be killed and other posters will be VERY Ta'd that I am hijacking the thread, but please bear with me.

I never use the toll bridge on M50, but did about two weeks ago to go to the airport and paid in advance online.

The latest fraud happened after that. I am not saying NTR had anything to do with it, but how would a fraudster get the DC/CC number from the reg plates? And would they only use it for the toll. I am so confused now.

New Home · 09-12-2015 07:46PM

Your computer could have been hacked, or something.

Otherwise, if in doubt, blame 'Verified By Visa' :pac:

No, they already have some of the 16 digits (first 4 I think)on your DC/CC so just process of elimination when entering the card number over and over, but you have to enter any car reg number too, BOOHOO was another one that I was caught for, and card was stopped, Someone could be doing it for a week then all of a sudden the site says payment accepted.
The thing I like is they want cash transactions and cheque usage to stop, and use bank transfers and card usage, but that's where most fraud is done, hmmm

Im sure someone will have more detail on it, now you've asked..:D

Have you ever noticed how the RTE reporter David Davin Power almost never blinks? It's so freaky! I find myself glued to him, and got so annoyed the couple of times I have seen him blink.

While I was cooking dinner earlier, the little one dropped my Christmas snow globe on the kitchen floor. Glass, glitter and whatever the liquid is, everywhere:(. I'm as blind as a bat , and am sure I've missed some glass.
I have somehow left a pile of Christmas decorations up in the attic. I put the tree up on Monday, went to decorate it this afternoon, and no tree decorations in any of the boxes I had taken down FFS

Came across a Facebook complaint/post from someone obviously unhappy with a service. Fair enough. They went on to call the staff "smelly paki *****" the tone of the post being entirely abusive. I then spotted the person's children in their profile picture, sighed, and thought what a great example they must be setting for them.

Mackman · 10-12-2015 02:24AM

We have been complaining about the air con not working in our section of the office for over a year now.

They finally fixed it, but now its too cold. I'm not annoyed that it's too cold, I'm annoyed that I will sound like a right fussy wanker if i complain

The woman presenter on that program makes a really annoying sound when she talks. It's kind of a sticky sound, like she's just after eating when she's on air. Sounds disgusting.

It might have been a way to sweeten tomatoes that were a bit sour, but I don't think they'd have needed more than a tiny pinch.

It was a recipe I found online I think its American (they seem to like sweetening their food). I only put in 1 tsp but I think any was too much because the tomatoes are sweet enough. I'll just make classic scrambled eggs next time with Worcester sauce and pepper

I'm curious now... will you give us the recipe/the link to it, please?

There's too many variables to be able to pinpoint what the source was.
Did you pay on your own computer device, or a public one? Did the browser show the 'secure' label in the place where you type the Web Address. More than the 16 digits from the card number are needed to make a payment, the CVV value (3 digits on the back) would be needed along with the exp date.
Is your Anti Virus on your machine up to date and you've done a recent scan? There might be something on your computer gathering data.
Do you know where the fraudster performed the transaction(s) with you details. Was it online or at an ATM/POS device.

TA....i know way too much about this stuff :eek: Wait til I start talking about EMV tags.

A conversation with my OH's mother went as follows:

Me: Did you get OH aftershave for Christmas? Which one because I don't want to get the same.

Her: I got him loads so you don't need to

:mad::mad::mad:

TA Just answer the bloody question I asked!!!!! I'll decide myself what to get him.

I love her normally but this just bloody annoyed me.
