Gobshítes who don’t keep their dogs on a lead in the park when the dog has no “recall” or doesn’t response to any other commands.

Or the ones that, despite knowing their dog tends to go mad when in contact with another dog, don't shorten the lead or keep the dog calm when another is approaching, and instead let their little fur baby bark and "attack" said intruder. All hell breaks loose.

Especially common with smaller breeds.

I was in the head office today. A young fella came in with a new beige overcoat.
It was fairly fancy but feckin heck you'd swear he came in like Louis XIV the way people were gossiping.

Annoyed that I had a virus for almost 2 weeks that I only just got rid of and now my throat is really sore and I feel grotty but I can't get ill because the next 3 days are going to be hectic and include lots of mileage.

Selling something handmade for €28
Private message asking "would you do it for €15, I'm in Kerry"

I wouldn't mind if they asked about a discount (usually people don't expect one unless buying at least 2 items though) but asking if they can buy it for about half the price, and what does the location have to do with it?
They're made to order items so obviously its a set price and calculated to cover materials etc.

No upbringing, some people

The third curtain rod went back today, as its too short as well.
Three times its been measured and converted and its still wrong.
3 freaking times!

Ladders and measuring tapes aren't that hard to work!

I’ve had a virus or something for all of January, coughing, tiredness, swollen glands. Went to doctor twice. Finally started getting better as I took 4 days off work (doctors orders) and rested , went back to work today and glands are swollen again tonight , I’m tired of this :mad:

Revolut have absolutely bolloxed up their app. They've made it so un-user friendly, they deleted my saved cards and saved bank account and wouldn't let me add them back in, so I couldn't top up this weekend. When I went to pay with the money on the card it was declined. I'm raging coz it's such a useful bank account for fee-free exchanges. I don't even know if there's any point in continuing to use it at all.

Not with all cards and bank account ???
I topped up mine today from my usual AIB account and all good , no problems.
I love Revolut . Surely you should check out what’s going on with them before you just stop using it .

Election posters that are still up, they should have been taken down on Saturday, storm or no storm.
Biggest eyesores ever.

EmmetSpiceland · 12-02-2020 11:08pm

Too many “Current Affairs” threads in AH. Brings in some amount of oddballs spouting, utter, nonsense. Just not needed.

Mam of 4 · 13-02-2020 1:12am

When it gets to the point that you don't trust one word of what someone says anymore . Quite sad really .

JustAThought · 13-02-2020 2:49am

TA by my carhorn which now only makes a whining insubstantial beep and then whimpers off despite me leaning on it and glaring at the other stupid driver/cyclist.

Very TA that it is illegal, apparently, to install truck horns into cars, when their car horns wind down.

TA that I now have to ration my horn beeping so that it lasts until I do the NCt

Broken horn is fail item

ffs

Is it just my imagination or where there a lot more posters up this time around that before the last election?

When you think 'I must write this in the trivially annoying thread...'

But when you remember to write it, you can't actually remember what it was aaagh!

Boggers cloging up the main arterial routes.
I need to cross into another part of civilization in the morning. And the only routes cross where the muckers have decided to congregate.

Boggers ruin everything.

Car manufactures that forget to put indicators on their cars !

Panda Killa · 13-02-2020 10:36am

Soooo woke up this morning..and it took 15 mins to get out of bed...
Over 3 hours later and I still can't even put on a pair of socks..back is totally gone...couch again today!

Widdershins · 13-02-2020 10:58am

Oh that's bad, Pk. More than truvial.

TA when I start posting here I tune in to annoying things and get more annoyed more often.

On the other hand I feel better for not suppressing it and pretending to be Mary Poppins.

Another one yesterday was clothes hanger hooks catching in loose knit wool clothing.

Ghosteen · 13-02-2020 11:19am

The smell in the toilets in work can only be described as a skunk that's been dead for two weeks and then dragged through rotten cabbage.

blade1 · 13-02-2020 11:25am

They're putting 2 less slices in these family packs of ham.
Same price though
They kept that quiet the sneaky feckers!
Now 2 family members have no slice of ham so it's not a big family pack anymore! :pac:

On that note, that packet says "Recycle me". I really, really wish I could, but soft plastic isn't accepted!!! :mad:

And another thing: typing from my phone. I hit the right keys, yet one letter in five isn't right. Maddening!

The phone thing! I'm sure it's since a recent update introduced the finger tracing typing - can't get rid of the bloody thing!

TA the white lining of jeans pockets keeps peeking of the pocket.TA I feel so scruffy in jeans. TA how my hair picks upso much filth through the day. It feels seriosly lighter after washing it, weird to think how much dust must be in it to weigh it down. I wash it at the longest every 3 days.

I've a keyring thing with a token that works in both the €1 and €2 slots on Lidl and Tesco trollies, but sometimes won't work in any of the Supervalu ones. Drives me barmy.

Also, while I'm on the subject, people who call it Tesco's with an S on the end........what is wrong with you people? I've heard people explain it as that's what you do with a shop that's a name like "Eason's" or "FX Buckley's" or "Nando's, but it isn't a name, so that doesn't apply.

Then I've also heard it is because it ends in a vowel.........but, in that case, why stop at Tesco's? Do you also say Centra's or Esso's or Aldi's or Texaco's or Insomnia's?

Edit: I've just seen this on a Guardian article: "Bacardi's is rum without the taste.".......WTF?

It's forty million degrees Celsius on my bus and the smell of farts is making my eyes water. Nearly two hours of hot sticky bowel air isn't good for the soul.

Panda Killa · 13-02-2020 7:47pm

Up since 5am ...and still can't put on a pair of socks....FML...or my back... whichever

Redneck Reject71 · 13-02-2020 8:07pm

Halfway through a bottle of Patron and get a text from the school asking if I would bake something for tomorrow's bake sale.Well those kids will be in for a treat,heh.Also why do they wait til the last moment to let parents know about these things?

Ha!
Was at GP's practice this week, and thankfully am seldom there.

The smell of unwashed bodies and unwashed clothes, rotten.
Jeez even if you rarely washed, wouldn't you think of doing so and changing into fresh clothes before a doctor's appointment?
The staff deserve every cent they earn, the majority must go on air fresheners.

Have to go back in the morning again.
Clothes pegs at the ready for my nose.

Redneck Reject71 · 13-02-2020 8:47pm

That certain people have to make simple things so difficult.I know what needs done,don't need a sermon on the mount about it,heh.

ArnoldJRimmer · 13-02-2020 8:54pm

Was at dentist earlier, getting a long overdue and necessary procedure done. A bit sore, but thats to be expected. However, my TA is that my lip is still numb, and I keep drooling down my front, particularly when I have a sip of water

Redneck Reject71 · 13-02-2020 9:15pm

Treated myself to a Cuban and after smoking it,realized it was no better than a Henri Winterman cigar.

Is this maybe because some smaller dogs just go mental upon seeing another dog not matter what the owner does? No way of controlling that and they do no harm except for barking so just ignore it?

How do you keep a dog calm that just doesn't want to be calm? Impossible.

It’s the lead part. If an owner has one of those leads that you can “let out” or “lock” but they don’t so their little dog goes off barking and snarling and your dog.

I don’t mind a dog like that once their under control. I’ll let my dog off for a “run” when there’s nobody around.

If she runs over to someone as they appear I’ll go over, get her back on the lead and apologise. I won’t keep walking or shouting from 100 meters away.

When someone in a lecture thinks it's their duty to ask constant questions, jump ahead of the lecturer and generally give the lecture. Shut up shut up shut up. Its after 9pm and I have not paid good money to hear you sh#te on...

Redneck Reject71 · 13-02-2020 10:31pm

My daughter who is friends with a Chinese girl, told me how the other kids avoided her and made nasty comments about the virus going around. I don't blame really the children, but I am shocked that parents would in still that segregation, fear, and racism in their kids.

iamstop · 13-02-2020 10:36pm

TA that we live in a world where we're banning plastic straws* but we still need signs in eateries to tell you not to throw the plastic baskets in the bin.

*I'm all for banning plastic straws btw.

When someone displays absolutely no backbone whatsoever, despite the fact that it would have been very easy for them to have done so. Genuinely infuriating.
