    ....or worse, they leave one square only, so they don't have to replace the roll.

    Probably the same ones make a cup of tea and leave a drop of milk in the carton and put it back in the fridge.

    Zero problem with people announcing their new arrivals on Facebook, sure we all do it. But lately I've noticed the thinly veiled "I'm already such a good mother" brags creeping in. For example, "such and such born at 8am, 8lbs, gas and air only" - what? Why is it relevant that you had gas and air only? Your kid is like an hour old and you're already trying to trump other mother's who used an epidural? Would you ever GTF, I don't brag on social media about getting a filling without anaesthetic. Don't be a hero, medicine is there for a reason. Or do be a hero but stop the incessant competition with other parents.

    Don't even get me started on "exclusively breast fed".

    Mine is "fed", or on a bad day "alive and accounted for" :D

    People with christmas trees up already. i saw two on my walk to the shops

    when you're in a argument with someone, making your points to them and all you get is ''yeah but...yeah but...i understand where you're coming from, but'' and it becomes a thing where they're not really understanding where you're coming from at all, they're not even listening, just waiting for their turn to speak and ''win'' the argument.

    theres a game of thrones quote that goes ''Everything before the word 'but' is horse shiit'' and it shows.

    Buying one in advance is not an issue and entirely acceptable. carry on.

    Working in retail... my place of work has a website and ‘Click & Collect’ is available. You place your order, get an order confirmation straightaway, stating... ‘your order has been received, thank you. We will email you again when it’s READY for collection...’
    We open from 9-6 so any orders placed after 6pm won’t be worked on til we open the next day at 9am. We start with them in the order that they were received. We might get 20+ orders during that timeframe when we’re closed overnight.
    Had only sat at my desk this morning at around 9.05 when a staff member rings saying that “Mary Murphy” is here to collect her order. I hadn’t even turned on the pc and still had my jacket on!
    The name didn’t ring a bell with me (I get notifications on my phone for orders)...
    “Mary” parked outside the shop this morning at 9am, placed her order on the phone in her car (for 14 items) and then walked straight in and had a hissy fit that it wasn’t ready! Jesus Christ like! :(

    There's a lady I work with who post 10,000 pictures of her happy family & her small son (face showing)& how much loved he is. It's not my thing, but I suppose it's kinda nice to see they are so happy.

    Anyway baby number two recently came along & the pictures came along were of, a hand!
    Or the back of a child's head. Like why bother, just post an announcement of the babies arrival if you must, but the mysterious hand, foot or elbow is a bit odd.
    Then there is also the pictures of said baby's hand holding a balloon for the child's fifth MONTH of life celebration :confused:

    I don't like Christmas arriving too early and every year there are negotiations between me, who wouldn't put up the decorations earlier than a week before Christmas, and my wife who would put them on the the first of December. But given the years that's in it, and the fact that she's spent a fair bit of it nursing COVID patients, she says she wants them up in time for the Toy Show. No argument from me, the decorations started going up this evening, and it's great to see a bit of light, colour and sparkle.

    With a bigger xmas this year, earlier and that, I hope we don't get an even bigger depression afterwards.
    Early Jan is an absolute shítter of a time even without the virus.

    Actually that annoys me too! I agree if someone doesn't want to post pics fair enough but the random generic hand or foot is annoying! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,845 ✭✭✭Antares35


    You know when someone is talking but then they shove a forkful of food into their mouth, but also want to continue talking but can't because their mouth is full, so they do that thing where they sort of flap/ wave their hand around in front of their full mouth instead of talking. Like, they can't talk because their hole is full, but they want to keep centre stage anyway so they do that hand pantomine thing. That annoys me.

    I don't want heartfelt sympathy, and it is beyond a trivially annoyance. But I was just informed a very dear friend of mine has terminal cancer in his lung and liver. They gave him 3 to 6 months and while he is being very brave, I am heartbroken for him and his family.Cancer and 2020 needs to **** off already.

    I'm very sorry to hear about your friend.

    I know two people - both are parents in their early 40s - who were diagnosed with cancer in March this year. One is dead already, one seems to be doing well on treatment.

    I second your motion on what needs to f**k off.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,434 ✭✭✭Robsweezie


    i bought a radio that comes without remote control function, meaning youve to get up and change stations manually with the buttons on the radio every time.

    also someone keeps changing the station far off from the one i like, meaning i spend ages tuning it back.

    TA wish i got one with a remote to aid my laziness.

    also TA, someone using your car blaring the radio full blast the night before and forgetting to turn it back down once they're finished , giving you a nice surprise when you switch it on the next morning.

    Care booklets for work, they set up schedules and care practices and have to be signed by the client.
    Most clients have reading or sight issues, so we are mandated to fill these in using a certain size and font text.


    Booklet is set to default to a different setting on every. single of its 14 categories. The title of said categories is in the wrong colour too,

    TA the amount of time I waste changing and checking I have things set up properly(as it can impact on client safety) and the dam thing changes it all behind my back!!!!!

    FFS set the dam thing up for its required usage at point of origin FFS.

    People sitting in their cars with the engine running. Saw one in Tesco recently as I called in to do some shopping, window down, on the phone, engine running. Still there 15 minutes later when I came back. Saw the same in an underground car park the week previously. Is there a reason to do this I'm missing?

    Only reason I can think of is that they want to have the heat on while they're sitting in the car, they'd run down the battery in no time if they didn't have the engine running.

    There's an estate near me where people park to pick their kids up from a primary school. It's a quiet cul-de-sac beside a pedestrian entrance to a green area that the school is on the other side of. You see people sitting there outside houses with their engines running waiting for their kids. Parking there is fine - it's a public road and it relieves massive congestion from outside the school, but leaving the engine running outside someone's house is very inconsiderate.

    They brought in 15.00 Fridays in my job a few weeks back where we can finish at 3 if we've no meetings, outstanding client work etc.

    Without fail, the sh*t has hit the fan on one of my accounts at about 2.45 every Friday since.

    When films are too dark. Specifically horror or action. I get the need to be atmospheric but I'm literally squinting to see what the hell is happening.

    Event Horizon as an example. Hadn't a clue what was going on tbh. :pac:

    Now 7 out on CD today. I have found 10 errors when compared with the original LP. And in an unwelcome twist, the spine says “NOW MUSIC 7” instead of “NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL MUSIC 7” – so when lined up with the others on the shelf, it doesn’t match. Sloppy!
