    Never a litter. We got a kitten at home this time last year though. She was petrified for the first few days and left little messes behind the couch and the book case and in several spots behind the Christmas tree. >_<

    I thought we'd be getting a double week's pay on Wednesday but apparently it's just a normal week :( I was planning a spree on Wednesday after work but now I'll have to be all sensible and pay my bills and hand over rent to my money-grabbing mother with most of it :(

    My last Siamese queen... they left her with me, the breeders. She was clearly freaked out but instead of hiding, she leaped onto the kitchen counter and laid the biggest whoopsie you ever saw,glaring at me the while to show me who was boss..That set the pace for our whole many years together. When she had kitten she would put them in my bed to look after.. wee soggy things.. Missed her...Summerdown Tigerlily you were a star

    The smiley head on the weather man /woman as they tell you the weather is going to be sh1t. Could they not have the decency to look p1ssed off about it, or maybe a little apology for being the bearer of bad news wouldn't go astray :(

    They definitely plot against us! We have 2 kittens and they work together against me when I'm trying to put them to bed. They beat each other up any other time. They drive me mad!!!

    Ha, I went in a while ago about an upgrade, amd me not being very tech savvy, the staff start to speak slowly, even directed some of the conversation to my daughter who was with me. One of those "and does he take sugar in his tea" moments.

    I hate when they do that!!! Mind you I usually glaze over after the first 5 mins and turn to teens and ask the "what does that mean"
    Reminds me of day son shouted across the shop " hey ma, this one here has big buttons"!!. Like Im 49 not bloody 89 :(

    I had an operation on my nose and I can breathe and smell a lot better now. Great you say! I just got on the bus and the stench of the great unwashed is overwhelming, please block up my nose again!

    People who fumble around at the checkout/till in shops for change and hold everyone else up. Grrrrr!:mad:

    Got a bit of food shopping this morning, wait in queue, 2 people ahead of me. First person had a good bit of stuff, packed it all up, paid, and went on their way, grand. Second fella was only getting a loaf of bread, girl scans it through, "1.85 please", yer man proceeds to now start rummaging around for his wallet. After checking 3 pockets, he then finds it, them he opens the wallet and open the little pouch part that you'd have change in. My blood was beginning to boil at this point. He counts out the change anyway, she promptly gave him the receipt, and he has to fold it up, put it in wallet, then put wallet back in pocket. All this without moving an inch. Fcuking prick, he was only in his 20's so no excuses.
    A transaction that should have taken 10-15 seconds took almost 2 minutes.
    How can someone be so oblivious to their surroundings?

    Being called childish for being offended when someone said something nasty about me and my friend. Pretty sure they're the childish ones making nasty comments.

    The sentence 'I'm sorry you felt that way'.

    A complete non-apology. If you think anything is worth apologising for then apologise for your own actions or lack of, but don't apologise for my feelings.

    Millennials don't realise that things/people exist if they aren't looking at them on social media.

    I'm a millennial and this would really annoy me.

    How much shopping can people actually do? And they'll be lining up again on the 26th to grab some more "bargains" that they "need".

    I was planning on going over tomorrow evening to pick up some last minute things I remembered.. guess I'll leave it then. :/

    My TA is rude people on the luas. I know it's busy, but there's no need to push people around like that.. maybe just get up from your seat when the train stops instead of waiting until just before the doors close.

    Out shopping with a frazzled woman at Christmas. Ye gods, why do you mock me?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,080 McChubbin

    Had to pop into Boots in The Pavillions to get a last minute gift for my brother and I cannot believe the sheer audacity of people.
    I was in the Men's Gift aisle and dismayed to find that the shelves were almost bare of the item I was looking for.
    Then, I picked up the last of a toiletry set, not sure if I wanted to get or not. I put it down for 5 seconds on the shelf to look at something else, turned around and it was gone! D:
    Ended up grabbing a smaller, cheaper toiletry set and NOPING the feck out of there.

    Also TAd: When I was in Boots, I attempted to call my mother on my mobile and kept getting "not registered on network" error messages. Nearly had a heart-attack thinking my phone was borked beyond all repair so I paid for my stuff and hotfooted it to the 3 shop. Lovely sales assistant managed to calm me by telling me it was simply due to the fact that the back of Boots is in essence the Bermuda Triangle when it comes to phone signals. Felt like a numpty for getting so worried over nothing. :P
    Anyways, I'm still mildly frazzled and to make it worse, I have to go back to The Pavillions AGAIN tomorrow on an errand. GIVE ME STRENGTH.

    Lastly: I had a sizable feed in McDonald's about an hour ago but now I'm even hungrier than before and I don't know what I fancy! :(

    The amount of people who can't park inside the lines of a multi-storey car park is simply astonishing


    I've been Xmas shopping and I think I never want to see a member of the public ever again...stuck in ques behind people who don't understand the concept that when your at head of the que your meant to go up and pay for stuff :confused:
    I could go on and on....but it's relaxing I need





    I feel so bad for people working in retail everyday between now and Xmas :(

    Went shopping today and OH and I were stuck in Christmas traffic for ages. Had a bit of humorous relief from being TA'd by it when a van that was in front of us had a message that someone used their finger to scribe on the film of filth on the back of it. It said "i wish my woman was this durty" :)
