I'm already grumpy at the prospect of grocery shopping Christmas week.

Really plan to have everything in bar picking up the meat but I'm the world's worst planner.

Midnight shopping is so appealing but I'm a big chicken sh!t , walking to the car on my own is a bridge too far.

At a medium sized retail shop in cork, they have to make people queue to get in due to covid regulations when its a busy period - which is fine....but 3 or 4 times of having to queue up, you see pairs of jackasses having made their purchases, just standing around having a chat inside the shop....FFS get the hell out of the shop and let others in, no one cares about your kids, whatever - if your desperate to have a chat, go outside and let those who are queuing up go in...

I had to go to Waterford last week to collect a loan (I live in Kilkenny) and at a checkpoint, that's what we said to the Gárd. No argument or second thoughts - immediate "no bother lad go on ahead" and the TA comes from the fact that it's THAT EASY to just continue on. How could he know I wasn't taking the piss? What if I was really going to Cork to visit a friend? What if I was just doing anything of insignificance?

I brought forms and receipts with me to prove that my trip was essential and that I wasn't lying and, after all that, I never needed to pull out a single sheet of paper in the end.

I’ve had a letter from my work to say I’m an essential worker (was news to me tbf?!!) and never has to use it.

TA why do people have dishwashers ?

Sorry @ohnonotgmail :pac:

More environmentally friendly (if full) than hand washing and also more
Hygienic...and that’s good enough for me.

People using the phrase “ the shift”....disgusting.

That sort of logical thinkin would be way beyond Pat....my local Supermkt is constantly clogged by grim faced beuers leaving their trollies all over the place.

Also saw a pair of woke looking millenials taking pics of various bottle of wine and presumably sending them to someone for a "recommendation" !

There are works going on somewhere around by my house and there is a truck or something with the loudest, most high pitched beeping sound going off for the past few hours. It's really doing my head in and I have already had to take painkillers for a headache :mad:

Vodafone were allowing two customers in at a time. Queue forms behind me.

Two people in shop, one assistant dealing with the woman, the male customer browsing and the other assistant on his computer.

Ten minutes later the male exits the shop and informs me he was just with his girlfriend and not a customer. The whole queue gave him a piece of their minds for taking the slot we had been waiting for. He didn't seem to mind that he had wasted so much of everyone's time.

It took some self control not to completely lose my cool.

madmaggie · 23-11-2020 4:46pm

Trying to speak to a human at eir. Elderly uncle's landline is down, but waiting time is 30 minutes when I get through. I gave up and filled in a form on the website. Lots of guff about paying your bill, and buying stuff, but no actual help.

Mollyb60 · 23-11-2020 5:01pm

Got a service done on the car today. I was sent a video from the mechanic working on the car with a little spiel about how it was going and any problems he encountered. He spoke so fast and so low on the video I hadn't a clue what he was saying so I had to call the shop to ask what was needed. Yer man definitely has a future doing the announcements for Irish Rail or Bus Eireann anyway.

Gervais08 · 23-11-2020 5:01pm

I left my former job in August and I’m still getting queries from them!!!

Well if that's the case, he wasn't much help if she was dealing with the staff member, he was browsing phones!!

wildwillow · 23-11-2020 6:25pm

Oh I would have no problem with him assisting her, especially if she needed help communicating.

He took no part in the transaction. She didn't even seek his opinion on the phones she was considering. She hadn't made a decision by the time I had finished my business and left. Just thoughtless people.

Most of them do a sh!te job washing cars anyway but the only time we wouldn't wash a service car is if we were caught for time or the lad that washes the cars was off

Passwords. Enter what I think is the password NO.
So I re-enter it carefully. NO . So I do ‘forgot password’ shyte and put in what I originally thought was the password only to be told I can’t use a password I’ve used before!!! Why didn’t you let me in the first time.! Now I have to make up a ‘memorable’ password. Which by and large will be the original with a 1 or @ or # after it. I’m fockin demented at this stage

I was just browsing Facebook and randomly someone mentioned they enjoyed something they made in the comment section of an article. What happened next? 'Recipe please?' WHY OH WHY am I haunted. It was completely out of context asking as well and she got no reply.
Next thing, someone goes for a **** and someone will pipe up 'recipe please?'

PsychoPete · 24-11-2020 1:13am

My phone always starts to go dead around this time, I don't want to be charging it over night. I normally wake up before my alarm but there's been a few occasions where my phones gone dead during the night, no alarm to wake me then I realise I supposed to be in work in 5 minutes

freshpopcorn · 24-11-2020 6:59am

That I was to polite to teachers and we’ll behaved in school.

Sgt Hartman · 24-11-2020 8:40am

Woke up at 5.20am and went to turn my alarm (set for 5.30am) to "off" on my phone. The bloody thing still goes off suddenly and abruptly at 5.30am as I had forgotten to save it when I had switched it to off. I jumped with the fright of it.

In the bathroom I end up getting toothpaste on my top. I change my top afterwards and as I'm putting on the new top the neck hole snags on the ring in my ear, yanking it out. I nearly puncture a hole in my thumb trying to get the thing back in.

Putting on my socks afterwards, the inside of the sock snags on my baby toenail and nearly yanks it off!

The bus then crawls along at a snail's pace, getting every single red light from the airport to Dorset Street. To cap it off I cross the road at the Dorset Street-NCR junction thinking there was plenty of time before the light went green. As soon as I stepped onto the road the light goes green and I have to rush across like a lunatic so I don't get hit by a car! Ugh! I hate Tuesdays!

Anyway despite all this it's going to be a good day today in work

TA, I've had really severe fatigue for about a week and half. No appetite for weeks and other symptoms. Finally had bloods done so waiting on them.

So fatigued last night I went into bed just to watch some TV on the laptop, passed out around 8, woke around 10 - delirious then TV still playing trying to get back to where I'd last remembered. Passed out again. Woke again around midnight. It's just so not like me, I normally have terrible problems sleeping.

I know it's probably nothing but last night was definitely weird

The post box I got to put up outside work.
As I see it, a post box has two jobs to do:
1. Keep the post dry.
2. Keep the post secure.

This post box does neither.
I can squeeze my hand in a take out the post without opening the box.
Rain gets in and wets the post - I had to drill extra drain holes in the bottom and put a gridded false bottom in the box to keep post above any water that accumulates despite the original drain holes and my new ones.

what a fail of a product!

Sounds like a virus of some sort Jenna. I'm usually a terrible sleeper too and anytime I've had the fatigue you've described its been a virus.
Did the doctor check other things while you were there or just bloods? I really hope you feel better soon. Thing with fatigue is you don't feel rested after sleeping loads either, you wake up feeling just as tired. Virtual hug and try not to worry. Easier said than done I know.

My Ta is once again everything. My coffee tastes weird.. I don't want cheese on toast...whing moan whing...I want more coffee...I want cheese....siigghhhh

Blitzkrieger · 24-11-2020 2:11pm

Two rants today. I'm going to go on about people hogging the overtaking lane again. Some prick in a 202 Toerag was hogging it on the link today. Traffic was light and there was three occasions he could have easily moved over, but didn't. I get there could be reasons you don't move over in heavy traffic, but literally all he/she/it had to do was move the wheel a bit to the left for a few seconds, then back to the right when actually needing to overtake something, and the selfish, ignorant prick wouldn't even do that.

My second rant is people who won't use the overtaking lane! I Passed a Discovery on the way home that was being tailgated by (what I think was) a Laguna estate on an almost empty dual carriageway at considerably less than the 120kph speed limit. The lady in the estate was hunched forward and looked very tense. I wonder if she was following the Discovery somewhere, or there was something wrong with one or both of the vehicles, but ffs either overtake or drop back to a safe distance.

It's a weird one alright. He's checking for thyroid, hormones a few bits. There's a couple of possibilites (nothing serious to my knowledge) but no point in worrying. Almost too tired to!

How are you feeling? Is it the baby making you feel like that? I'm indecisive at the best of times so I know that's infuriating too!!

I am definitely noticing the former of your rants a lot more on the roads these days. It's absolutely infuriating. Sailing along like they own the flamin' road. Just move in and if you need to go back out. It really is not difficult.:rolleyes:

I am cranky lol.

The running red lights now has become the norm. It's endemic!

At this stage, I'm surprised when traffic lights turn red and no one breaks them.
Really common at pedestrian crossings, too. How someone driving a car thinks it's a good idea to gamble with pedestrian v moving car outcomes.

I often see 3 consecutive cars sail through red lights .

I have to say, I've read about this on Boards over the past few years and though it was an exaggeration, as I don't see it happening at all in my town. But then I had occasion to spend a lot more time driving in Dublin in 2018 and 2019, and it is indeed crazy how many people blatantly break read lights. And it's not just being caught out going though an amber - it's two or three cars just sailing though red like it was nothing.
