    Locked myself out of the house doing the dog's bedtime walk just now. My sister is dead to the world and answering neither phone nor door. Can't exactly call into the neighbours at this hour. Wtf do I do??? Genuinely wondering if turning the wheelie bin on its side and crawling in for the night is an option...


    Did you get back in?

    Ebay seller not writing my Parcel Motel ID on the package despite it being clearly listed on my profile and also repeated in the message box for the Paypal payment. "Please post to........"

    So I wait over a week and have to chase with Parcel Motel myself. Found eventually.

    "Sorry mate. I got one of my work colleagues to post it for me."

    People not knowing the difference between solid wood and veneer.

    Or solid oak and pine!
    My husband gets so irritated by this he actually texts people on Done deal and tells them to correct their ad!

    WhatsApp and Snapchat lurkers. See everything, and say nothing.

    My friend who texts me “hey how are you?” To which I reply “good, and you?” She then replies “good, you?” Did you even read the text I sent??? This happens too often

    Do you mean lurkers see everything in WhatsApp group messages, Gwynne? :0

    TA took 20 mins to cut the incredible amount of unnecessary plastic off something that came in the post. Someone in that factory has a serious plastic fetish.

    Where I live people regularly leave their engine running while shopping in the Polish shop. If you were a car thief you wouldn't have to wait long, and they wouldn't even be able to claim on their insurance. Some have additional free children but you can just throw those disease factories out....


    That's a hang over from very cold climates. Worried about letting the car engine go cold and not restarting.

    I don't know if it's just my local one, but in Dunnes stores the amount of suits (managers?) On the shop floor just generally being in the way or twiddling with displays.

    I just realised earlier that the top shelf of my fridge annoys me (trivially). My fridge is 1.5 metres high, and I'm nearly 2 metres. I usually keep cans there (Coke, Club, etc.), but if I put anything perishable there, because it's out of my line of sight, I'll forget about it until is starts to stink. I usually don't let it happen but the odd time, something gets through...

    (Yeah, I could bend my knees a bit more but where's the fun in that?!?)

    I'm barred from cleaning out the litter tray for a few months but instead it being cleaned by the OH I get to live with the uncleaned and malodorous litter tray as he forgets to do it before heading to work...AGAIN. :(

    This could end in murder.

    Why don't you ask Boom_Bap to do it for you? :pac::pac::pac:

    Since joining Spotify I make up playlists of random songs that come into my head. I come across a lot of older ones that have 're-mastered' on them. To me for the one that sounds better there are a dozen that sound butchered.


    ( I came across a theory though that as hearing deteriorates with age so on familiar versions your brain is filling in for the bits your not hearing anymore :()

    Whatever it's a TA :D

    Being misunderstood and misjudged. It's disappointing really but sure it's out of my hands what another person thinks.

    Ah, now, it's only cold for a few months of the year. They have seasons in Poland.

    Badly folded newspapers.

    NIGHTMARE.

    On a somewhat vaguely related note: resealable sliced cheese packets that never reseal. I can cope with it not resealing, but I despise the manufacturers for their blatantly false claims. Packaging just lies to us daily.

    Right up there with easy opening cartons that you need a pliers and a grenade to open. :(

    Said friend then asks “how’s work? How’s college?” Even though she’s asked me 3 times this week already. She said she was sorry for asking the same questions.

    Then just stop? There’s no need to text me for the sake of texting me? If you have something you want to talk about then by all means but please stop asking me the same questions over and over.

    I’ve been trying to avoid music for like the last two months because I’m recently bereaved and any song is like a dagger to the heart. I thought I would act like a normal person today and get my hair done so I did. I don’t know what station the salon was playing but it was like depressed fm. Anyway, The Cranberries ‘Ode to my Family’ came on and if I wasn’t mid way through highlights I would have walked out the door. It’s like I was being tortured by the very thing I had been avoiding and I couldn't even move. Ugh. Not their fault at all, just one of those things.

    On a very very trivial note my belly is sore because I stuffed myself with Chinese food.

    Rugby journalist saying how it's first time in 32 years world cup matches have been cancelled.

    But the world cup isn't every year... It's every four years.
    Irks me when stuff is inflated in such manner.

    My dishwasher is kaput and repairman told me last time he was here not to call him again and put the money towards a new one. It’s only 4 years old :mad:

    awful music in restaurant,s ,
    i was in a italian restaurant, last week, there was some old trad italian music playing .
    I would prefer silence to a random music track.
    I think mcdonalds play loud pop music because they want you to eat your food,
    and leave, do not hang around too long.
    i do like the music they play , although i have no idea who the singer,s are .

    READ THE ADVERT.....


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    I do ask the 1st question, Splash....Not being thick, it's because many sellers don't bother to remove the ad once the item has been sold. I think they're avoiding paying website fees .
