    HSE assuming everyone has internet or internet skills.
    Sib has a jab date for the weekend, they send a link to the patient information booklet with the message, he's completely computer illiterate and they refuse to give him a hard copy of the info.

    The person on the phone tried to calm the situation by saying it was the wrong no and that no one had ever asked for this before! mmm, they just did the elderly, so I doubt no one at all asked for a hard copy.

    Some gimp vaping on an e-scooter, taken up the road when there’s a, perfectly good, cycle lane right there.

    There's an equally gimpy fella in the morning on my way to the bus stop who uses one of those monowheel things and smokes at the same time, trundling along leaving a stench of filthy tobacco smoke in his wake.

    TA'd that my heel and ankle are sore for the last 4 weeks and I'm worried in case it's actually radiant sciatica pain :(

    I was handed a hard copy when i registered to get my first dose of the jab. I had enough time to read it while I waited to get the jab itself.

    Was that in the location you got the jab?

    My ex butters her toast and then wipes the knife on the rim of the butter tub after buttering the toast. So the rim of the tub of butter-spread ends up covered with burned toast crumbs and then it goes back into the fridge. After a while there would be tiny specs of mould on it.
    Brutal :)

    My dad is cooking dinner. So we're getting soup at about 10pm, with every utensil in the kitchen used and then fired in the general direction of the sink.

    OK so the chowder was actually really tasty but I'm still a bit "Where's my main course???" Was awake at 5am (not through choice), walked almost 11km today and other than a slice of toast at 2.30 haven't eaten all day so am kind of in the "remorseless eating machine" neighbourhood right now.

    If i robbed 200k id be arrested and charged straight away. Is this guy even going to be arrested?

    My wife washed the drip tray from our new air fryer last week. It was left in the draining rack along with a load of washed recyclable plastic, tetrapaks etc. I brought the draining rack out to the green bin that night and it appears I chucked in everything that was on it.

    Green bin was collected yesterday.

    OH sitting in front of me slurping and nursing a hot lemon drink and sniffling into tissues, while I try to get ahead on some work. Just go to bed! And stop complaining to a heavily pregnant woman with SPD, hormones and anxiety, about your man cold! I even subtly said to him, "you know you should maybe go to bed and try to sleep it off" (read, if you don't get out of the kitchen soon I'll kill you) :D

    Incredibly trivial but we keep a spreadsheet in work as a way of updating what we're doing each day when we work from home. It's usually bull**** but the boss likes to have it. I maintain it and create new tabs for each week etc. Nothing too stressful.
    We've a bank holiday next Monday and I've just noticed that one of the team has put in 'Bank Holiday' on her own line but not bothered copying and pasting it to everyone else's line too. It is maybe the most stupid thing I've ever gotten annoyed about but it's really bothered me. Was she just being lazy and couldn't be bothered filling it in for everyone else? Or is it a passive aggressive thing she's doing? Or does she think I enjoy doing these things and wanted to leave it for me to have a little thrill? Or did it not even cross her mind (most likely)? I'm annoyed at myself being so annoyed at this.

    I've started an online course. It's set up to be online rather than covid imposed so it's very organised.

    There's a few different forums for different purposes.... here lies the issue.

    Obviously as it's all online we need to stay on top of conversations etc. So I log in ,in the morning and at night...each time there's about 20 new messages...grand ...then you realise 80% are from the one student commenting on everything....it's great you are enthusiastic but please step away from the keyboard.

    Then you have the technical forum, female student asks question..female tutor answers , male student tells them they are wrong and his approach is better. .....give me strength.

    I'm actually into the course but I'm so glad I don't have to deal with this nonsense in person.

    The term "use case".

    "You could get gloss or silk paint - It depends on your use case".
    "I'm not going to buy that cheese - it doesn't fit my particular use case"
    "For my use case, I need cotton socks"

    WTF? It's appearing everywhere over the past year.

    You're just discussing options in daily life.

    You're not a solution architect producing a UML diagram describing the interactions between an "actor" and a "system".

    It's not a bloody "use case", it's a preference or at best a need.

    I was looking forward to an expansion pack for one of my games which was released yesterday. For nearly £20 you basically got a load of unbalanced features and bugs and now the developers are getting it on forums while the people who had the developers wheel this thing out in an unfit state get off scot free.

    Worst bit is that some people seem to think that death threats are a justified response.

    I think when the EA games launch of online SimCity went tits up, the whole planet warmed by about a degree with all the boiling rage.

    TA that ea games killed my favourite game of all time.

    My cat is due in UCD next week for surgery and they originally quoted 800-900 euro. Now suddenly it's 1500. Wtf? How? How does a price just jump 700 euro? And when I queried it, I was made to feel like a cheapo skinflint who doesn't want what's best for her. Where do they expect people to just magic together the extra money? What if I was on the PUP for example?

    I blame the insurance companies, those that have pet insurance don't mind what's charged.

    I was quoted 1500 for an MRI for one of the dogs. In fairness the vet didn't expect me to take because it's mainly old age that's at her (14)

    Good point. I don't even mind paying, I'd do anything for her. It's just the shifting goalposts I hate. And there always seems to be additional tests that cost a fortune. Poor cat has been tested within an inch of her life for everything to make sure she's a candidate for surgery, yet they still want to do more "ruling out" tests, even though we know what's wrong with her!

    Our road is lined with cherry blossoms, including one in my parents' garden that's been there since the houses were built in the 50s.

    The next door neighbours keep sweeping up all the petals from their (entirely paved) front garden and dumping them outside our front wall.

    A) how petty can you get?

    B) there's another 4 or 5 trees within a 50 metre vicinity of their garden

    C) it's an exercise in utter futility, it's like a constant pink blizzard for these few weeks every year

    Eejits.

    Hmmm that sounds very familiar I wonder if you live near me.
    On a similar road in a similar situation a person who lives near me received a text from their neighbour asking could they stop their cherry blossom tree from shedding into the neighbours garden as the colour was transferring onto their kids clothes :pac:
    Please tell me it is the same situation as surely there cannot be 2 similar nutcases around

    I'd get great enjoyment watching them jutifully sweeping them up and depositing them at the wall, only for the wind to pick them back up again ...

    I'd look very disappointed as I lament on how all their hard work was in vain. I might even be tempted to shake the branches of the tree while doing so.

    My TA, I'm tired but can't sleep.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,130 ✭✭✭Surreptitious


    Cherry Blossoms are so beautiful. Why mess with the natural laws of nature. I feel some people have no control in their lives so they focus on stuff like this to give them purpose.

    I can only assume for the same reason they paved over their entire garden - some people just see nature as a massive - in some cases even distasteful - inconvenience to them. I don't understand it at all.

    Yeah, people are weird.
    I had a house mate once who I used to tell to help herself to salad leaves from the garden but she'd still buy leaves.
    I eventually worked out that leaves from the garden were "dirty"!
    I'm not sure how she thought other leaves were grown.

    My Dunnes is always busy, get there around 10 and I've to queue to get in....I'm first in the queue so not too bad, about 8 people behind me when we are let in.

    Quickly realise what the problem is once I get inside. 80% of the trolleys had 2 or 3 adults, about 50% of those had a child in the seat part.

    Anyway apart from being more difficult to keep distance etc really didn't impact on me.

    Leaving the shop the queue has now grown substantially, I know from experience they have an hour wait before they'll get in...all because adults can't do a solo shop.

    A year on and nothing learned.

    You’re right. It is difficult to keep distance. I have accidentally bumped a few of those “couples” with my trolley.

    Our local SuperValu is near a school and it has become a national hobby to pick the kids up and bring all of them plus your baby to SuperValu on the way home. So there's trollies, scooters, buggies (sometimes double) and children who in fairness can't be expected to maintain a social distance depending on their age. You don't have space to pass people by so fair enough you're stuck behind but then the people behind you again get irritated and try to pass everyone by. It's just mental. I tend to avoid it like the plague now and it's a pity because when the schools were closed this particular shop was always very quiet and civilised :D

    Also a more general TA is a queue system outside and then inside it's a free for all anyway.

    My da is currently cutting potatoes for dinner... with a bread knife. As someone who sharpens their own kitchen knifes this bothers me, especially since he only recently got me to sharpen his chefs knife, which would have no trouble cutting through the potatoes now but he chooses to use a bread knife. Out of all the knifes in the kitchen he could possibly choose for the job he chooses this one ???
