    This is actually more than a TA upon reflection. I was in Brown Thomas on my lunch break looking to buy high thread count sheets which are really expensive but I see them as an investment. Sleep is so important.
    Anyway, I ask the lady do they have any sheets with 800 thread count and she looks me up and down and says "well yes but they're very expensive".
    What am I, Julia Roberts?!
    I was actually so shocked I just shook my head and walked off but I almost feel like going back in and asking her why she felt the need to belittle me the stupid stuck up bint ಠ,_」ಠ

    That's horrible on so many levels:(
    I am seriously tempted to go back in and ask to speak to the manager. It's not like I'm some jumped up scobe with a needle hanging out of my arm who's gonna use the sheets to shoot up!

    TA that I didn't say something to her at the time. Thus will wreck my head now ಠ,_」ಠ
    See, I'd be a total bitch, after that. I'd buy them elsewhere, go back with them still in the bag from the other shop, then ask that woman to be shown those sheets again. I'd insist if necessary. She would have to. Then, after having seen them, I'd say "Shame you didn't show these to me when I asked you the other day, I ended up buying them elsewhere. That should teach you never to judge a book by its cover - for instance, you look like a nice person". Then I'd turn around and leave.

    A refund from amazon for an undelivered parcel. I checked the tracking and it said "delivery not attempted due to damaged parcel"

    Reason for refund on email: customer return.

    Don't know why it annoys me so much!!!

    It's the lies!!!

    That's a really good line and rare that you'd get to use it but today, after learning it just five minutes ago, I finally get to use it :)

    Celebrities and the people who go ga ga over them.
    They say we aren't religious any more but I beg to differ: we have merely swapped Zeus, Jesus and Osiris for actors, pop stars and reality stars.
    Two good examples would be the Johnny Depp and his wife thing, I heard too women going on about it for ages like it was someone on their street they were taliking about..WHO GIVES A ****!
    Matt Damon in Ireland was another one: Look! It's matt Damon carring a Supervalu bag :eek::eek::eek:. He's just like us mere mortals.
    Then people trying to guess what he has in his bag :mad:
    Celeb culture stinks, and don't get me started on no talent twats like the Kardashiandroids, Chelsea and Essex pricks.

    Reminds me of the time a stuck-up cow of a customer asked me for advice and was very quick to interrupt and ask was there no one else working to advise her... :rolleyes:

    Department manager came up anyway and recommended the very same thing that I had suggested :) ..... Her face....

    That's why I was so chuffed for Rosanna Davison and get husband this week with their baby news. Yes they're beautiful and not short of money but unlike the fame wh*res on social media, they're actually very down to earth people. She spoke so honestly about their journey to parenthood and the heartache of 14 miscarriages. Now they're pregnant with twins after using a surrogate for their first baby.
    Take at look at the Instagram pages of former Love Island 'celebrities'. I follow a few just to enjoy cringing at them. Posting videos of lip pouting, ass twerking, hair flicking etc etc. Shallow cretins.

    The office bragger

    Hours in the office are long for me the past few months, 10-11 hour days with 30 minute lunch breaks but I get overtime so all ok. I am glad to be working of course and every minute I work is logged.

    A senior manager was hired in a temporary contract for a few weeks to help write procedures. He is leaving next week to take up a new job. He was to be with us 3-4 weeks at most on a temporary contract.

    My TA is the bragging
    - Travelled the world, telling me about 5 star hotels and business class flights
    - Buddies with Sheiks and Arab royal families.
    - Has the ability to get Formula One drivers into Bahrain nightclubs
    - Met Diego Maradona, chatted up Beyonce and other celebrities
    - Drove the Sheiks personal cars like a Buggati at close to 400km per hour
    - Billionaires begging him to spend weekends on yachts
    - Earning 300k a year in a PAYE job last year he tells me but you are a temp contract in our lowly office :confused:

    Now the guy is senior like head of department level and no doubt is on good money. I also believe he did indeed do a lot of travelling but this level of bragging is ridiculous and only intends to big himself up and make the listener feel like a loser

    If I said NASA was sending me to the moon I think he would tell me he would be the 1st man on Mars

    American food blogs. You go and search for a recipe, and click on a link to visit a site. There you get their life story; how they discovered the recipe, and what they want their kids to do in college. Finally you scroll down through 20000 words to get to the recipe, and discover they are using the preposterous imperial and cup system.

    Grinds my gears.

    I can just about tolerate the imperial and cup and spoon system. But when you read through the ingredients and one of them is something ready made like cake mix, jar sauce or a tin of soup. :mad:

    Media reporting of firearms. Machine gun/sub machine gun, these are not interchangeable terms. Also, high powered rifle. High powered compared to what?

    The farking humidity! It's 2.30am in rural Ireland, and it's allegedly (according to Google) 14C and 95% humidity... I'm ginger for fecks sake! This is far worse than the baking hot and humid conditions of Orlando circa September 2009! It's making me itchy all over, and there are midgets apparently portaling into the room I'm working in and every itch I think it's one of them little bastards landing on me. I have what can only be considered a ginger afro on my face instead of a lovely, low hanging beard, I feel like Eminems description of himself at the start of Lose Yourself, and I want to peel my skin off.

    TA 2:

    Goodfellas have these new Pizza Pockets. Handy little things, 2 minutes in the microwave and a grand handy pizza like slice. They're great for me as I find I can't finish a whole pizza these days. So, 2 min in the microwave (and 15-20 in the oven?! WTF?), but it says 'For 1 pizza pocket' on the back. Nowhere does it say what to do if you want 2. I'd imagine it needs more time, but I ain't got time to be testing that!

    Back for my weekly Social Media rant...

    Ta at people with a large following on Instagram/Facebook who regulary post "Everyone is watching your posts but never liking them."
    Inferring people who dont like you are constantly watching your page(well d'uh your page is public) and running back to their friends to gossip about what you post.

    Why can't functioning adults understand that keeping your life private and controlling and limiting what you post is the only solution to this as opposed to giving them ammunition and becoming a slave to a social media platform??

    And don't get me started on the "a private life is a happy life" posters.

    I have a dull toothache that kicks in proper whenever I try to sleep, driving me nuts, two back molars at top of mouth. Just phoned my local dentist today and realised its Saturday so will probably not get a returned call till Monday. I don't even know if dentists are back to normal hours or is that contained in the Phase 4 pandemic period.

    Brown Thomas update folks.
    Went in and asked to speak with the floor manager of the linen department. The other bitch wasn't working. She comes over with a face like a slapped arse clearly annoyed by my bothering her. I explain what happened yesterday and she stood there arms folded looking bored.
    She then 'explained' that the other lady was merely highlighting the fact that the high thread count sheets are notably higher in price than average sheets and it's the cashiers job to advise customers of this.
    Ask me bollix!! **** right off with that nonsense.
    I am well aware what they cost and I'm more than willing to pay extra because I feel that they're worth it but that's none of your business. Show me the damn sheets and I'll discover fairly lively how ****ing expensive they are. As an adult I will then decide if I'd like to purchase them or not you absolute ****.

    Phew. Rant over ..for now. I have a feeling it may creep back up. What an absolute bitch. I'm never shopping in BT again and I told her as much.

    Most people shopping in Brown Thomas would know their goods are expensive. Staff shouldn't say that as an excuse for being rude.

    Funnily enough, one of the most annoying things I find about working in retail/sales is.
    A customer will come in and ask for X item. Then you get the item and tell them the price and then they’ll have a go at you at how expensive it is and that you should have warned them about the cost.

    I do get alot of retail/sales staff get abuse.But you also have certain ones who judge your financial status just by how you look or dressed.And then proceed to treat you as someone beneath them.

    I actually have a 25e voucher for BT since Xmas but everything there is well in excess of that, Im grateful for the voucher I received as a gift but maybe somewhere less 'posh' would have been better for me :D

    I would email,its BT of course its expensive.Thats quite obvious.They have a doomnan ffs.:rolleyes::D

    Funnily enough, one of the most annoying things I find about working in retail/sales is.
    A customer will come in and ask for X item. Then you get the item and tell them the price and then they’ll have a go at you at how expensive it is and that you should have warned them about the cost.

    Ah now, you know walking through the porter held door of brown Thomas that you are not going to get change out of a €100 bill.

    Sales advisors don't need to specify that something is expensive. At a very basic level they are failing their job description of making a sale. If she thought that the 800 thread count was too expensive, she could have still shown them, and shown the cheaper 400 thread count ones as an alternative.

    There is no need to belittle someone.
