My mother told me how cold it was approximately one million times yesterday.

I'm usually one to excuse grammar and spelling mistakes by online posters.. but.. whenever I read a post on a site like rip.ie that my "taughts" are with you it really annoys me.
It seems to cheapen the sincerity of the offer of sympathy.

Its very cold today

My dog pooed in the neighbours garden.

The animal

Thankfully I had poop bags in the house.

Little fecker.

I ordered something online, and had a discount code, which I realised after I placed the order, I forgot to add to it and paid full price :mad:

Indicator? Do they not know that the Irish signal for “I’m just leaving it here for a few minutes” is hazards, not one indicator? Particularly prevalent in small towns I find.

Muppets. Your car should be taken off you if you do either of the above. So inconsiderate of other road users.

One thing that gets me with the hazards is when the inside hazard is not visible so you think the vehicle is indicating to pull out.

Happened to me before but got onto customer service and they sorted the discount. Worth a go?

I sent them an email straight away so hopefully they’ll be able to sort it. Just annoyed at my own stupidity :rolleyes::p

Had a dream about being on a group trip to see a match. Everyone was dawdling about with no intention of getting ready to leave where we were staying. Ended up missing it.

Still annoyed at the fekkers now I'm awake.

Buying a Lotto ticket and asking for NO plus to be added......and I am handed a ticket with the plus added.

I bought myself an americano in insomnia this morning because i got to work early. The fact that it was awfully weak was bad enough but to top it off that one coffee cost me more than the jar of tesco finest coffee that i normally use in the morning

The drawstring on the waist of my jacket is always longer on one side no matter how much I adjust it. Does my head in

Websites which make you repeat selections - Language choice .. then log in, click "remember me" which I assume is a cookie of some sort which should save settings? ... and then having to select the language again. Rinse repeat forever.

Long queue in the shop and one lad tries to start a conversation with the tiller.

People who live in the past and portray it as some kind of utopia. "In my day...", "As children we had...". Move on, times change, people and society change. And it wasn't always better back then.

A thousand times this. These people harp on about how they didn't have this or that and times were great. Well if they were so great, why do you now have internet and indoor plumbing and every other convenience of modern living? Because the old ways were not the best ways ya hypocrite! And no, children did not have more respect "back in the day". Man it feels good to get that off my chest

In particular one poster who likes to think of herself as Peig Sayer reincarnated and has single-handedly ruined the Stinge thread with her constant interjections about how each example isn't stingey, it's frugal and how everyone did it back in the heady days of 90% of Irish people living in abject poverty :rolleyes:

Best description ever. I actually burst out laughing :pac: I'm just going to ignore her from now on. It got to ridiculous levels when apparently using old underwear to dry the dishes is acceptable :rolleyes: Ffs, in this day and age, if someone couldn't afford to buy a set of tea towels for €1.50 in Dealz, they could simply let the dishes air dry!

Ariadne · 01-02-2019 1:27pm

My dad talks about how absolutely terrible his childhood was and how they had nothing at all. You know, except a roof over their heads and clothes and food and nobody ever went hungry but oh no, they didn't have a TV for years and their holidays were in east Cork, what abject poverty! Apparently I should feel forever grateful that I was taken to Disneyland, it doesn't matter if you neglect your children, as long as you take them on holiday folks.

I was surprised to find myself feeling pretty ok after my yoga class yesterday but now my arse and legs have started killing me

Sometimes when you attach pics they turn sideways.

Left my wallet at home today specifically so I wouldn't be able to go out for lunch.

Now I'm annoyed that I can't go out for lunch.

Not at the waist but the same problem..

I suspect this is the one and only person on my ignore list.

Drivers dawdling at 34km/h on a 100km/h road with no ice, and a straight road ahead. Why is there always a stream of cars coming in the opposite direction when you get stuck behind these people?

Coats that have no hook hanger thingy on the inside of collar to hang on a hook. Most coats to be fair have them but some don't

Mollyb60 · 01-02-2019 1:55pm

Walked to Boojum to get lunch. Didn't bring my purse just shoved a 20 in my pocket on the way out. Got to Boojum - No 20. ****er must've fallen out on the way. Thank god I hadn't ordered already coz I would've been mortified. Had to walk back to the office to get my purse and then back again to Boojum. God dammit. I hope some bastard chokes on the drink he/she buys with my 20.

Ilovethe bonesofyou · 01-02-2019 2:01pm

I tried using the ignore function but I find it very annoying. I thought it would hide posts but all it does is collapse them, which actually makes the poster stand out on the thread and ruins the flow for me. Why can't boards make it so the poster is completely hidden?

Or it's not strong enough to support the weight of the coat and it breaks.

Tidying up on NYE to take my mind off my upset at having to talk to the girls online instead of in person(they are on a world tour, only the best crappy hostels for them!)

I took some walking shoes I had put right on a last the minute I bought them, as I was thinking of where to put them my brain said put them in x, you'll remember no problem.

Of course, I can't find them now!

TA I can't find cut and pasteable graphics that will show the info I've put in my report.

The way people lose the run of themselves over free food. One of the teams in work just left two leftover Domino's pizzas in the canteen and there was practically a stampede to get to them. By people who'd literally just eaten their lunch. I don't get it.

How threads go off on tangents so quickly.

For example, take the current one in AH about how much you spend before buying anything

Start reading, all grand. Load of figures etc, what people are spending

Then you think, I'll jump to current last page, and there you have people arguing over what exactly defines a loan or where they got their degree!

Rude check out assistants, not having the decency to hand back your change into your hand only to fcuk it down on the counter.

I got a letter from my Solicitor about an outstanding balance, as far as I was concerned there wasn't. I was passing so I called in and explained how and when I had paid, I had receipts..
Amazing she let me off 400 + euros with no hassle..Hmmm.

Rang Dyson Dublin number, got through to English call centre, it is a got my email, address blah blah blah, I explained fault. He informs me 'I have ran it through diagnostics and I'm unable to find the problem !! You asked me 2 questions and thats diagnostics ? Then tried to sell me a motor and battery for 170 Euros...F@@k away..

I wanted to join the local GAA club and gym, rang, no answer. Sent a message, no reply...

And don't get me started about the Childrens hospital investigation and the line at the end of Terms of Reference that no on will be responsible or accountable..
No one ever is...

Rant over...

Don't know if it helps, but it could be a "lost in translation" thing, especially if the person at the till wasn't Irish - in some countries they have a little tray where people place their money and where the person at the till puts the change, as it's seen as bad manners to hand people money directly.

I learned this when I was in Krakow, I thought they were being rude and they must have thought I was being rude
