    A pillowcase whose opening is in the middle and not the end like a normal pillowcase. What moron thought that was a good design choice? Did they even attempt to put that on a pillow?

    Even worse is a duvet cover where the opening is only half way across the end leaving a tiny little gap where you have to squish the duvet it and then all but follow it into the cover to straighten it out .

    That is panic attack inducing! I'd be tempted to cut it and just staple it together instead of dealing with that nonsense.

    TA i live by myself and I'm really doing anything at the moment but there always seems to be a pile of laundry to do and im constantly hoovering and dusting. Its by no means a mansion either but chores seem never ending.

    Overuse of the term "circa" on house advertisements. It's circa 30 miles to Dublin, built on circa an acre, built circa twenty years ago, floor space circa 200 square metres.

    Please get out of my way while I mortgage the rest of my good working years on your circa house!

    Was it The Warren? I was there today and it was very quiet, cars all over the place last weekend.

    I'm bored, it's hard to believe that with loads of channels there's just nothing on that I'd watch.

    Left a voicemail message for a driving instructor. He texts me back a few minutes later to say he can't talk at the moment because he is in the middle of a lesson and lists dates he is available.

    What kind of sh*tty driving instructor checks his voicemail and send texts in the middle of a lesson.

    Finding out that someone I lost contact with a few years ago has passed away. I've no right to grieve since I never made the effort to reconnect, but I'm beyond annoyed with myself for always thinking there was more time to do it. :(

    After hearing great things about Line of Duty and in need of a boxset, I started watching it last night with a friend of mine.
    Midway through the first episode, I was lost. I felt like the writers expected us to fill in alot of gaps about the characters and storyline. I didn't wanna look stupid so when my friend asked if I knew what was going on I said yep.
    A few minutes later he said well I don't, are you sure you put on season one, episode one? I insisted I had but after he made me check I realised I had put on season 5 episode 1.
    TA that i not only wasted time too proud to admit i hadn't a clue what was going on, ive now ruined the show cos ive prematurely unveiled character twists that i shouldn't know about!
    No more Line of Duty for me till I learn how to not be a moron.

    People who talk about things happening "on accident". I've seen & heard it several times this week, it seems to be a thing now. (The correct phrase is "by accident".)

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.

    I can only assume for the same reason they paved over their entire garden - some people just see nature as a massive - in some cases even distasteful - inconvenience to them. I don't understand it at all.

    Because gardening is a joyless, boring, filthy pain in the hoop. The results are not worth the effort for me. I'd rather declaw cats. If I owned, I'd have a paved garden, no question. The small amount of weeding that would go with that would be my limit.

    It’s a weird one alright. Been around for awhile and never easy to hear. Did it come about because of people thinking the opposite to ‘on purpose’ would be ‘on accident’?

    Mini rant. I went to the local shop this evening for a cylinder of gas. About 20 young lads sitting on a wall, having the craic, all of them way bigger than me. Not one offered me a hand in putting the full cylinder in the car. What sort of selfish inconsiderate articles are being reared out there.

    Had a row with OH and he stormed off to bed and I can hear him snoring. Raging, because I'm really in the mood for finishing it! And not in a "let's get rid of the conflict" way but more just "I'm still really angry and I'd like to shout more at someone".

    I think our world is in sync because I just stormed off after having a row with my OH. She's gone to bed though I'm in my own room, sulking. :pac:

    You see them walking down your platform from your seat, looking in the window of your carriage, hen or stags or just loudmouth wànkers, if you are tired / hungover yourself you just wonder if you’d be better going to the bar and waiting for the next one.

    I remember being on the Limerick-Dublin train many years ago with a bunch of students squashed into the seats just behind me, methodically going though every single ringtone on each of their phones at full volume, trying to find the "best" one.

    I got a car soon after.

    Horrible weather but I do like a cozy night in with a film. I chose Red Heat. I get about 10 minutes in before trying the subtitles as Netflix doesn't have any for the Russian portions of the film. They appear if I enable the subtitles but now I'm constantly switching them on and off whereas if this were broadcast on telly, there'd only be subtitles for the Russian. Eurgh.
