    Eejits hogging pool tables. The odd time I like to play a game of pool and on 2 Saturday nights in a row in the pub were these 2 tossers eating pringles and then putting the empty pringles container on the pool table and hitting it with the balls instead of playing proper pool. And sniggering like clowns and in no way concerned others actually wanted to play pool.

    Well those two arseholes should have been booted from the table by the barman.

    First they came for the socialists...

    DVD covers with the names printed in a different order to the photos of the actors.

    Books that get reprinted with different covers, making you think X author has a released a new book.

    Read blurb at back, and no, it is an old one.

    You’re too soft with them pringle eating goons late late.
    Put down your 50pence marker on the table and watch them like a hawk and let them know you’re watching them.shark the table then when you get on and when you beat them and they get up to leave throw them an empty Pringle’s box and tell them to fcukin bring them with them

    Worse when you buy the book, leave it in a pile for ages then realise you already have a copy, at which point receipt is a distant memory.

    I might have posted this before but as its nearing the 12 month mark since it first happened I started thinking about it again.
    My TA is people assuming I'm drunk by the way I walk and the police visiting me at my home and breathalysing me.
    I just realised it's been 6 times in 12 months, and in 5 of the 6 the reading was 0.00. The other was maybe 0.01.
    So FO and fight real crime and let me have my coffee and bourbon in peace !

    I seen yesterday that there is a Feminist version of Monopoly being released called Ms. Monopoly where the female players get more money for passing Go and more money to start with.


    That is not f*cking feminism!

    I had a doozy of a TA, but have since forgotten it.

    People don't use the word doozy enough

    Living in a house with 3 picky sh*ts. I see so many recipes I drool over but have to remind myself that it's not economical to just cook for myself.

    People coming in on top of you at the self-service when you haven't finished packing your groceries, I don't take all day at the things when I do use them, but just have some patience.

    I feel your pain :(.

    The teenager put a couple of handfuls of decaf teabags in on top of the proper ones in the jar without realising. I was wondering why the tea tasted like sh1te. It's going to be a guessing game now for the next while :(

    I've a stitch on my back - it started on my neck on Sunday night, and it's now spread to half way down my left shoulder blade. I can reach it to press on it but not with enough pressure to "un-knot" it, and using a pen to reach it without straining my arm won't do much. I need a door jamb, or someone good with opposable thumbs. I'm also wondering if it's a bra-strap-related issue... :/ Anyway, ouch!

    Both my shoulders ache, now. It feels as if I've carried a 100kg backpack for the past month. Can driving do this to you? :( I even got myself one of these from Lidl, it helped a bit but not as much as I'd hoped.

    Go and see a recommended physiotherapist.

    The word doozy is a TA because a colleague over uses it.

    I have my phone set to update apps - when I click on the list of apps it shows a heap of updates available. and witten below " Auto update apps enabled" - but it never does. What's the point in this setting if I have to do it myself.

    coming in on your at the self service with the most grave expressions, who am I and my trivial errands? Happens to me to at the manned checkouts.

    I'm small and the amount of people who think it's ok reach over your shoulder to pick an item they want is unreal. I'm a fast shopper so not like I've been having a daydream while they waited.

    When you ask a company to send you a certain document and they send something which has nothing to do with what you asked.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,783 ✭✭✭Princess Calla


    Carparks with clearly defined arrows indicating one way system. Dopes still driving the "wrong way"

    Even more annoying when you see a spot follow the arrows and someone takes the shortcut by driving the "wrong way " and takes the spot.

    TA that I can hear the much hated rodents moving in out of the weather into next door's attic, its sending my rodent alarm mental.

    After many searches and networking, my mother's will was found and a copy sent to me.
    Even after all this time its making me sad.
