    Jeans that start to slip down a few weeks after buying them, so that I constantly need to keep hitching them up.

    Pedestrian crossing everywhere, with lazy b@stards dawdling across. Move it.

    You've two options: embrace the builder's bum revolution, or... put. on. a. belt.

    This helpful hint was brought to you by the TA fairy.

    Free electric scooters for everyone would solve this problem.

    I always wear a belt NH, I assumed that went without saying! Can't tighten it any further without doing myself permanent damage. That's what really TAs me about this problem.

    I would love to wear braces again, but unfortunately Mrs Ragnar has threatened me with physical violence if I go down this road :(

    So, builder's bum it appears is my only option. Embrace the builder within.

    *wolf whistles at Ragnar's bum* :D

    This would have never happened with high waist jeans.

    People's open misuse of disabled parking spaces.

    I am currently sitting in a car park in a very busy retail park.

    Over the last 30 mins, I would guess I have seen at least a dozen people come and go from disabled spaces with F all wrong with them. More mobile than myself!

    I find this a hateful personality trait, than a trivial annoyance.

    Trying to fold laundry with an arm you can't bend because of a brace.

    I'm getting very, very, frustrated.*








    *Not in that way, silly!

    I’ve just watched an Instagram video of someone asking a few girls to be her bridesmaids in the most elaborate way, complete with balloons, confetti, a box with your name emblazoned across which when you open reveales the surprise and asks the question, will you be my bridesmaid? All filmed for the gram of course with sentimental music and the like.
    When I was one I got a text from my sister saying “will you be a bridie” to which I responded “yeah”.
    Are people gone daft? Could ya be arsed like. The way its gone is like a proposal all over again

    I have a phone charger that I keep in the car. The last time I stayed back in Tipp I realised I forgot a charger, so I took the one from the car to use. I vividly remember the next day picking it up off the floor and thinking “I must put that in my bag so I don’t forget to leave it in the car”. Now said charger is nowhere to be found. Not in the house in Tipp, not here in Limerick, not in the car and not in my bag. Where in the name of jesus is it so?

    Hate to break it to you but it ran off with the other sock.

    Similar to this the fecker who parked so close to me in the Ilac on saturday that i couldn't open my door far enough to get in. i had to climb in over the passenger seat. I somehow managed to restrain myself from accidentally banging his 182 motor.

    I was driving around Blanch centre for 20 minutes late one Saturday afternoon trying to get parking, some **** nugget had parked over their white line and even over the one for the empty spot.

    It was really really tight bit I manged to park in it so I left about 1mm on their driver side leaving myself about 3 inches on my side to get out of car. When I got back 20 minutes later they were gone and had the neck to leave me a note saying "next time leave a tin opener so I can get into my car". It was clearly my fault they couldnt get into their car.

    I was at a gig recently where there was none of this separate queue thing, but I had to clean it everytime. TA that men still seem to need potty training.

    I worked in a pub and the worst toilets to clean were ALWAYS the womens


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,016 ✭✭✭✭GBX


    People who cant figure out how the queue system works in Circle K garages. Trying to double back through the queue when they could go left and avoid all the people behind them.

    Two of my friends used to work in a nightclub and they used to say the same. They used to draw straws for who would have to clean the ladies.


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


    The layout of Barrington's Hospital . They have little printed slips of paper with directions to the relevant office :D

    I met an equally bewildered couple by the lifts and we sort of stumbled around trying to find the start of the painted direction arrows on the floor. She said IKEA Dublin is like this.

    Don’t mind people shortening “comfortable” to “comfy” but for some reason changing “uncomfortable” to “uncomfy” boils my blood :pac:

    Can confirm this too, I spent 8-9 years working in pubs, and the ladies were always the messiest. The mens, it was just wet in places...but women had loo roll everywhere, some tried to hide their naggins and then the makeup...iv'e seen landfills that are cleaner...

    Then again, I may have worked in some dives....

    Adults who play down/hide there privileged upbringing to make them seem more down to Earth.
    An example be somebodies who parents had very good jobs, they went to fee paying schools,had college paid for them,several holidays growing up, etc. However they'd lead you to believe they had nothing because they are from a city.

    I had a feminist berate me for being priviliged, I said why do you think I am priviliged, it was because I am a white male.

    After explaining I(only boy in family) went to community school while all my sisters went to private school, they earn more money than me.

    I dug into her background, she was privately educated and she was a director of the family company. FML!!

    When someone asks me something and pretty clearly has no clue, and then says they "thought so"

    They: "How do I do X?"

    Me: "Do this"

    They: "That's what I thought"

    Me thinking "No you didn't you fecking bozo"

    There is a tiny slither of light coming through the bottom of the closed blind and is directly in my eye line but between being boxed in with cushions and the dog lying on me I’m too lazy to fix it. Thankfully I remembered I had sunglasses on my head :cool:

    This is why I usually drive the two of us anywhere:

    Mrs Ragnar: Which way do I go now?
    Me: Take the next left.
    Mrs Ragnar: OK.

    Followed by Mrs Ragnar continuing straight on or turning right or doing a U-turn and going in the opposite direction altogether. In fact, any possible combination of directions EXCEPT the simple left turn.

    TA that someone I know keeps referring to my Filipino friend as “the Chinese one” when I bring her up in conversation. When I correct him he just goes “ah sure aren’t they all the same”. Eh, no. They’re not :confused:

    TA that I’m full of TA’s lately.

    The exhaustion of the ups and downs of being constantly anxious / tired / nauseous / sad / happy / hopeful / hopeless and so on and so forth :pac: I think it may be what modern society disgracefully refers to as "being an adult" but good lord is it so wrong that this is what's considered normal now.

    Sorry to hear that. I don't believe in "what's for you won't pass you" etc but I do believe that it's definitely best if you don't find yourself stuck in a job that isn't a good match for you. Don't think of it as a rejection, think of it as a lucky escape. Often they don't hire the person who is going to be best at doing the job, they instead hire someone who's going to be a "yes man" and who will be easily molded into what they want them to be.
