    I think maybe the kiddie fiddling might have been a slightly bigger turn-off for most people, rather than handshaking and germs.

    I paid €8 for next day delivery on an order I placed on the 4th of this month, its still not here and they're blaming the storm. I've asked for a refund on the delivery charge and they're refusing, saying its only a guide, not a guarantee.

    TA'd I have two parties this weeked and nothing to wear, and I've paid €8 more than I should have for the privilege of being inconvenienced.

    That’s the problem with online shopping, got a pile of clothes for kids in an an online sale but when delivered they doubled up on some items and others were missing. Seemed like such a hassle to return the stuff that I just left it and put it down to experience.

    Maybe you can find something to wear in a shop instead, plenty of sales on now, very annoying for you though.

    Read a positive ah thread, found a silly map to share. Wouldn't fit in with new forums serious subject matter.

    Reading some of the twitter posts on the train delays in Tara St last night, shocking lack of compassion from some ppl.
    I get it was a hassle for passengers and showed up the gaps in cs policies, but some were just short of saying push the f*&ker off the bridge.

    Particularly ta, were ppl complaining about being on the platform or train and being cold, but also complaining that they would have to walk 15 mins to the station on the northside. Ffs

    Full disclosure I don't use twitter!

    But you have to remember twitter happens in real time.

    As it happens I was waiting on someone to come home at that time. I checked the app and could see delays. Did a Google and all I could find was something about trespassers

    Now trespassers gave the impression to me and I'm sure others that it was a group acting the maggots and they were waiting on gardai to sort it.

    I'm sure I'm not alone in that thought.

    Now obviously it was something more serious which the benefit of hindsight n all that.

    I'm a regular dart user and service and announcements can be very poor especially in winter.

    There are plenty of times where a more direct approach from them would be appreciated.

    " we recommend you leave the station now and find alternative transport "

    Rather than leaving everyone like a bunch of lemons on the platform afraid to leave incase as soon as you leave the station the train you've been waiting on for last 30, 40, 50 mins finally pulls in.

    I expect that some of their frustration came from the lack of clarity. Explanations like "incident" and "trespasser" should not be used. Much easier all around if they just come out and say that the staff and the Gardai are dealing with an attempted suicide on the bridge. If you disclose the facts, people won't speculate and will generally be more understanding.

    I completely agree, its happened to me more than a handful of times both on IR and TFL, I have no issue with ppl being angry about not being told when or where the next transport was or due. It was the heartlessness of ppl(using their own names and so can be traced back to them in the future) that annoyed me.

    Afaik, tranpasser on the line is international code for suspected suicide attempt, as was pointed out to ppl giving out on twitter. Additionally, being so aggressive/arrogant about someone on the edge, wasn't going to make things go any faster or the poster feel any better about their situation

    Given the lack of compassion shown, I can see why suicide is rising.

    When tragic incidents do happen in rail lines and people know what the story is. They can be real twats about it.
    I get that your inconvenienced but there's no need to put it on Twitter.
    If anybody says anything to them.
    They say the person was selfish towards their family, the driver and the emergency services.

    I'm on a train. The chap sitting opposite me stinks of digested alcohol. He's just ordered a beer, which contributes to the smell of drunk vomit. Oh, and there's a whiff of sweaty-feet-that-spent-too-much-time-in-runners coming from somewhere around here, too, and someone else just doused themselves in cheap, metallic-smelling aftershave. Please, kill me know, it's more than my stomach and nose can take.

    Driving through a busy junction, two lanes. I'm in the outside Lane but notice inside Lane has stopped.... Eh what's ahead of me....Oh the courteous driver on the inside has stopped to let the filter traffic through.... Forgetting there's cars behind them stuck in the middle of a junction.... Didn't really affect me but there's times I wonder about people :D

    I spent €46 on a beautiful, ornate pearl headband. I tried it on yesterday and it cannot be seen when worn because my hair is so blonde, the pearls just blend in.
    It just looks like I have a lumpy head. And I can’t return it. I’m disgusted :pac:

    The ultra precocious, loud, really well read, Americanised kids next to me are headwrecking beyond belief. They are also sweet and really well mannered to the staff though so I feel evil.

    The girl just instructed her mother on how to use her cutlery. And the parents seem totally normal - bizarre!

    My hairdresser put up a post on her Facebook page (her personal page, not the salon, but her personal page is public anyway.

    "Any other hairdressers sick to the teeth of wine and chocolates? Wish customers would get a bit of originality, hahaha"

    I have an appointment with her during the week and had bought her some (nice) chocolates and a (nice) bottle of wine.
    I'll be enjoying them myself now and she can go whistle if she thinks she's getting ANYTHING from me.

    Compo culture....I had a nice glass jug that was also refused ...apparently no sticker on it warning that it was not suitable for boiling water.

    Didn't really think that was necessary as who would be foolish enough to put boiling water into a glass jug ?

    We all pick up germs on our hands in between washing.

    It clearly offends some people if their outstretched hand is ignored, but I can't be dealing with justifying myself on this.

    Strange. If I had leukaemia and couldn't shake hands I would say "I'm sorry but...."

    I worked for charities and we secretly took them. You can take them and we got around it telling people the rule of health and safety telling them we can't sell it to you but you can just take it and if you feel inclined to leave a donation on the way out.
