We had a "town hall" for our local office with our American CEO today on Teams.

In telling us about the difficulties of the pandemic, he explained that he recently bought a new mansion in Maryland, and you wouldn't believe the difficulties he faced in buying a hot tub for it. They're just not to be had anywhere. He then wasn't sure if we knew what a hot tub was, so he tried to use every other word he could think of for it (jacuzzi, bath, garden tub, etc). He then explained that he wasn't on the list for the vaccine in Maryland, so he had to go to his other house in North Carolina, where it seems they're giving the vaccine out to anyone who wants it.Tough life.

Then the local resident office nut-job then chimed in to say that he read on the internet that you can build your own DIY hot tub. He then proceeded to explain that he's thinking of opening a glamping business in his (rural) garden, and he's planning to build his own hot tub as an attraction. He then started asking the American CEO if he was keeping up with the Irish economy "in the news", but then fell victim to what I can only assume is a terminal case of word association, and started ranting about ergonomics instead of economics, finally demanding that we all have an ergonomic assessment of our home offices since we're working from home.

My TA is that I can't figure out who the hero is in this story.

i don't understand. an ergonomic assessment of a home office makes much more sense than an economic assessment.

He started off just randomly talking about the "economic situation in Ireland" and then suddenly, out of nowhere, started talking about ergonomics. Just a total stream of consciousness. There was absolutely no logical connection between the two thoughts. I guess it makes no sense because it made no sense.

Gregor, I think you were the hero for listening to that drivel without exploding or laughing. Seriously, some people don't know they're born.

My particularly trivial annoyance for today is that I went to pick up the hairspray bottle and instead I used the dry shampoo one. And I was in a hurry, too. Great.

People who ring into radio stations raging over something. What do they expect to achieve only high blood pressure?

This reminded me of something I meant to post here a few months ago.

I was in a taxi and Joe Duffy was on the radio. Some woman was ringing in complaining that her daughter's leap card ran out of money but she boarded the Dart anyway and ended up being fined by an inspector. Nothing wrong with that but the woman was trying to argue that the inspector should have been more lenient because the daughter was a school girl.

So then Joe Duffy asked what Irish Rail said when she contacted them, and she said she didn't contact them yet and ringing him was the first thing she did!

Seriously, FFS. What kind of person rings Joe Duffy first rather then the actual company they have a grievance with! I don't understand that mindset.

A derivative of my post above but "Surely I can't be the only one who thinks...."
It takes a certain type of person to even think that way let alone express it. Who says you're the only one snowflake?!

It also annoys me when people in YouTube comments write out the entire lyrics or dialogue if its a movie clip. Stop it..you're ruining it

I received in the post a new 'vintage' (I know I know :pac:) T shirt.

Seemingly the vintage part must mean that the fairly large print on the front looks cracked and worn...wasn't obvious from the online photo...not sure it's me

Blitzkrieger · 22-04-2021 3:36pm

All motoring related today :

It's like nine years away but 'no more petrol or diesel cars from 2030'. I'm sure some of my concerns are exaggerated by unfamiliarity with the technology and/or will be improved in the meantime, but I live in a townhouse - how the **** am I supposed to charge it? Put a big cable across the path? Walk five minutes to the nearest car park carrying all my stuff every time I want to use my ****ing car? I wonder how much thought about implementation the pricks that came up with that policy put in....

How bad people are at simply turning a corner. I was at Dennehy's Cross earlier taking a tight left. My car has a relatively poor turning circle, but it was simple to approach it slowly, put on full lock, and turn with plenty of space to spare. The Yaris in front of me swung wide before the turn, making a bit of a meal of it, but was relatively okay. The Mercedes estate behind me made a mess of it - swung wide before the turn and still managed to not only cross over the 'right turn cycle box' around the corner, but the right turn lane as well. It's a busy junction that was quiet at the time and had nobody waiting to turn right. How would they have managed in heavy traffic? If they're that bad at simply turning a corner should they have a license at all?

Lastly how little thought people put into inconveniencing other people. On a 700m straight stretch with one van parked to make a delivery, where did some prick in an Audi decide to stop to make a phone call? Within 5m of the ****ing van. Two vehicles parked on the entire road and he's created a bottle-neck.

That's one of three water-based TA's that have happened to me over the last 24 hours.

Another: when you are pouring water from the kettle into the saucepan to cook one of those boil-in-the-bag rice pouches, but whatever angle the crease in the bag is causes the water to splash all over the hob.

Third one: no matter how much drying there is outside (christ I sound like an ould one now), not all my clothes dry uniformly. Oh no, there is always one pair of boxers or a sock that is still wet.

When looking for a place on a street, people who don't bother their arses putting a number on the door of their house or business.
Or stupid little numbers hidden somewhere.
Why can't it be like France where everyone has an easily spotted bog standard design number?

I lived in Berlin for a few years and the street numbers are ridiculous. Every street starts with the number 1 and gets progressively higher but on the opposite side it works the same way so it's impossible to know where you are. If you google zig zag street numbers in Berlin it explains it better than i can.
I missed a few job interviews cos i couldn't figure out where the hell I was!

Gamer Bhoy 89 · 22-04-2021 11:00pm

My next door neighbours have no respect for anyone outside of their house at all. I've already moaned numerous times about how the man in that house had been using drills and hammers all day nearly every day for weeks. It's now been three months since this started and he actually p!ssed me off three nights ago. I was working until 8pm and my fiancée rang me at 7pm nearly in tears.

Upset over the phone she was telling me that the neighbour had been drilling and banging on the skirting boards of his house from the moment she got home and hadn't stopped once. It was a Monday evening. She works from 8am til 5pm and still has to drive 45mins to get home. Even on a rainy night it didn't stop him as he had decided to bring his precious f*cking buzz-saw inside so he could continue doing it indoors.

I've came to the conclusion that both of them next door are ignorant f*cks with no cop on for anyone around them. This is a fairly quiet housing estate for the most part and it's only ever loud during weekend afternoons (kids playing and whatever) and he has to be the only one in this particular street that does this.

He's only after walking inside from his garden after spending 20mins shouting on the phone and laughing outside.

The two of them do not wave to us when we go past them even after we wave or say hello we get nothing back. When we get out to the car to drive off we can see the woman standing at her car door and not once does she look back to wave or nothing. You know, like literally any other next door neighbour???

Last night was bin-night and the woman had the cheek to move our bin back up against our gate because it was in the way of her big stupid white Kia, which she parks on the pavement directly in front of their (and ultimately our) house (we share the same pavement. There's plenty of parking spaces around the corner of the house and she chooses to do this. Blocking anyone who may have a disability from going by in a wheelchair). Her method of driving out involves driving off the pavement past our house before u-turning onto the road.

We try so hard to be friendly to other residents of the estate and we do get a hello and a nod but sweet feck all from these two.

The two of them are ignorant bastards.

And I don't know if it's a superiority thing. Their house is clearly bought, and we're renting, so I do not feel like I am in a position to say anything to them in case I get hit with a "this is my house I can do what I like" line.

All of the houses here look like they're bought. Do I dunno if they look at us and automatically think we're not worth being friendly to. Maybe that's why he cares not a shíte to make as much racket as he likes at any time of the day? I don't know. But either way it's really getting to me.

TA. Noisy and ignorant neighbours.

I wanted to speak to my GP, regarding test results I had in the Mater a short while ago... the last lot two years ago I had to chase up. I’m sick of being the person with a medical condition yet I’m the one constantly having to put in phone call after phone call to get results... or in non covid times go make an appointment, have my gp email the hospital and yet zero call to me as promised.

I see now my surgery have removed their email address from their contact page, I’m sure with covid, inundated with requests for vaccines, cancellations etc...

But in the covid landscape, patients still need help, support and access to information about their health.

A once great practice that seems to be nosediving, the reviews on google in 2016 4/5 star.. now and since, have nosedived... 1\2 star reviews which they’ve never had...

Too many patients, too few doctors, a pair of fûcking ignorant dopes manning reception...

Well I usually pay 40 euro every 3 months to AIB because I use my card to buy everything. I reckon if I switched to Revolut that cost would drop by a lot. I can see the appeal tbh.

Sounds exactly like my doctor's surgery - the guts of two months to get blood tests back, and I had to contact the consultant's secretary myself a few times to get them. I know for a fact that the results would have been ready the evening of the day the bloods were taken, so there's absolutely no excuse.

Patrick2010 · 23-04-2021 4:14pm

Local Tesco added 4 card only tills to their self service area that had 3 card or cash tills already. Now you'll see a queue starting when the 3 original tills are in use. People either want to pay cash but mostly its because they don't know what the new card machines are for. Not too bad if the operator looking after the area asks those in the queue if they want to pay by card and points them in the right direction.
Other times the operator is either talking or off somewhere.
Yesterday I arrived and saw a queue of four and four free card onllies. So I went straight to one which prompted the operator to see if anyone was paying by card which got the other 3 in use.

A Tesco express I visit sometimes has got one manned (personned?) checkout and two self service. The queue starts at the end of one aisle but you'll get people who won't use the self service blocking anyone who wants to. If you're one or two behind in the narrow aisle you can't actually see if they're free. Then you'll have people who'll start a queue at the manned checkout if they see people using the self service ones assuming the other queue is for them.

When somebody kindly offers you advice or recommends a product you should try but you decide it's not for you. I feel this weird pressure to buy it even though I don't want it.
In M&S today a really nice lady was showing me the pjama section. I don't like fleece or warm pjama bottoms, i like to be cool in bed and often wear shorts. I hate loose ended trousers too, don't like the way they flap about.
She was so friendly and could see im pregnant. She even opened the packet so I could feel the soft material. She was saying I'm telling you, you can't go wrong with these for comfort, you'll live in them. I hate that material and yet moments later I found myself at the till paying 28 euro for a pjama set I don't want and will never wear!
TA that I'm not assertive enough sometimes.
