    The use of the phrase "happy out" bothers me unreasonably.

    Use of the word "methinks" is another one.

    I believe it was Paul F. Tompkins who pointed out that people who use it think it makes them seem clever but they're actually talking like Frankenstein's monster:

    "Me thinks fire bad".

    Or you've just hit a bird while you were not paying attention and fiddling with your window winder. :eek:

    I keep forgetting to fill the water sprayer yokamabob in my car. I even have a bottle with me today to fill with water before I go back to the car.
    I know I'll forget it.

    Go! Trust me you'll feel better. I've often held it in only to have to waddle to the bathroom. This is Ok in the comfort of your own home, but when you must negotiate an open plan office and managers asking you if you hurt yourself, mortification will ensue. (Speaking from experience!)

    Nothing worse if you're dying for a number 2, but you hold off waiting until the very last minute.... only for a manager / someone to accost you on the way to the bathroom and demand some of your time for something!!



    Good God, not now!!! :eek:

    Ah once I hear the brown dog barking at the back door I'm off to Trap 1 to send my breakfast up the Liffey. Baking it overnight is enough prep imho!

    Still not gone for the piss :o
    I'll go after I listen to this song!

    People who wear trousers that are clearly too short for them.

    I was in the hospital yesterday and the receptionist was coming from out behind her desk to carry files to another room and her trousers were far too short.

    She was quite a large woman so perhaps she had them hoisted up around her stomach OR they had shrunk in the wash, but either way...how could she stand in front of the mirror in the morning, see they're too short and still wear them?
    They looked ridiculous!

    I forgot my mp3 player today when I went to the gym (I know mp3 players are probably old-fashioned now but I've so many songs on it I love) and the gym's wi-fi never works.

    I had to listen to the radio on my phone and it annoyed the hell out of me that no matter what station I tuned into, there was an ad break every minute.

    Another annoyance was that someone had obviously walked straight from the shower out to the main changing room area so the floor was absolutely soaking wet.

    I nearly slipped and if that had happened, I'd have sought out the dripping wet person and given them what for.

    Usually if they are dripping wet then it generally means I've just given them 'what for'......phnarr phnarr :p

    .

    Couldn't you move the mp3s onto your phone?

    Or get Spotify premium. You can download the playlists to your phone. Great for travelling

    "My bad".......what the feck does it even mean..........are you bad?.......what?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 355 ✭✭rosie16


    Waiting for a call back about a job I applied for. They rang me earlier but my battery was almost gone so I asked them to ring me back later. I'd ring them but I can't remember the name of the woman who rang me. :rolleyes: I hope I haven't blown it.

    It's amazing how things in your dreams can translate into your 'real' life isn't it? Had a dream a while ago that I met some durty oul wan outside a nightclub, she brought me down an alleyway for the ride....woke up the next morn and I had a very itchy mickey.....

    :pac:

    I had a very vivid dream a few years ago that I did some very dirty things with the bloke I sat beside in work at the time. It made me feel very awkward around him from then on. I still see him around and I always think of the dream and get flustered!

    Walking down the street. Two men walking towards me with a dog. Not sure if it was a pitbull (no expert on breeds). Was a fairly muscular dog. No muzzle. No leash. Dog is running towards me. I'm nervous of dogs so I was getting worried. To be fair to the dog, he didn't come near me. He ran right past me. Didn't even look at me. Thank feck. Had to shoulder through the two dudes on the path as they stared and wouldn't give me room to pass. Brutes.

    Guy in work handed me his diary as I had to put something in it for him. Its massive, much bigger than anyone else's in here so I blurt out 'Wow you have a big one' and of course the children posing as capable working adults in here all burst out laughing (in fairness I probably would have too if someone else had said it!!) and I'm now dying as I don't want him to think that I was in any way shape or form flirting with him.

    Ah you can't beat a bit of childish humour, especially in the work place! :D

    Except when the guy is so fcuking creepy, grim and possibly an undiscovered serial killer that I would rather have sexual relations with a cabbage than have him think that I have any interest at all in how big or not his, most likely, tiny penis is!!
