Giving them maximum leeway here! I dont believe many people know how to use indicators on roundabouts. Its gotten so bad lately I dont even trust people with indicators flashing, I need to see where theyre going. Had a few misses with people indicating the complete opposite way they were turning!

+1 to this. Once someone was indicating as if they were pulling off the roundabout, grand says I, off I go. Then they kept coming, and beeped me as if I was the one in the wrong

Learn to use your indicators people!!!

New Home · 08-10-2018 12:39am

What I hate is when I'm at a roundabout and I have to wait for people (idiots) who don't indicate to drive on and go where they're going (even if it means missing my chance to go through), and the people (idiots) behind me beep their horns because they want me to move anyway. Look, it might be MY right of way, but if I don't know what THEY are doing, I'm not going to risk an accident just to make a point! And waiting one extra second is hardly going to kill you, is it.

So I'm in work with my boss gobsh1te and we're under pressure.

Gob****es been giving poor instructions and generally being a wanton prick about the resultant confusion and delay.

Gobsh1tes waiting on me to fvck up and causing me to choke from the pressure of not wanting to fvck up, thus causing me get distracted and so fvck up.

Anyway, gobsh1tes standing 10 feet away from me, at right angles, on a slightly raised surface.

Gobsh1te: ''do you see that thing over there''.

Gobsh1tes hand flashes up and then back down, with the speed of a Vegas card magician. One stubby knobbley bent finger pointing in a vague direction.

Gobsh1te: ''move that thing over there''

So by now I'm on edge from all the previous miscommunications, not wanting to ask, so I take a guess. wrong.

Gobsh1te: ''are you blind, etc''.

Just no description of what to move where whatsoever, gobsh1te believes that being that they're the center of the universe everyone else naturally see's what gobsh1te see's, from gobsh1te's perspective.

Please, people, when you point at something, don't say 'that' ... the other person doesn't see through your eyes, and doesn't see a first person view of your extended finger.

'that' may as well be a burp, for all the information it holds.

They just see a lump of meat with a gobsh1te on one end.

By the time they track the course of a moving, shaking, off target finger over several meters its about as good as pointing your arse at the object.

Unless its a square meter in diameter, and separated on its own, well, pointing is probably absolutely useless to the other person.

and 'that' is a meaningless word.

do you see that.

move that thing there over there.

oh my god, as i type this i want to grab gobsh1te by both sides of the head and scream this thread into their fat bulbous face.

i want to put gobsh1te into some kind of fatal 'Saw' horror puzzle scenario, where the answer is dependent upon my directions.

And as gobsh1te desperately scrambles against time to grab the right key to remove the explosive box from their arsehle, and looks up at me to know which key to grab, ....

i'd be standing 10 feet away at right angles, briefly raising my wiggling fingers and saying 'yeah that one over there'. the one to the right of that one under that one.

This is the interaction I just had at my city centre doctors' surgery:

Me: Hey I'm here to pick up my prescription?
Receptionist: It's not here.
Me:Oh, ok but I put it in last week and it says it's processed on the online order system.
Receptionist: Oh yeah, its definitely processed so it should be here. Let me check.
Checks with office manager.......
Receptionist: Ok its in Finaghy. (surgery on the outskirts of Belfast)
Me:Uh, why is it in Finaghy? This is my surgery. I've never been to the Finaghy branch.
Receptionist: Dunno but you'll have to go there to get it.
Me:Ugh fine, what time do they close in the evening? I'll go and pick it up after work.
Receptionist: 1pm.
Me: Right well I can't get up there for that time as I'm in work. Can you not get it sent back down here?
Receptionist: Oh um eh well I suppose but it wont be here till Wednesday.
Me:But I need it tomorrow.
Receptionist: ........................
Me:Fine, I'll come back on Wednesday.

Not even a single apology or explanation for their **** up. I'm raging.

I also hate when you're walking down a narrow path and you meet a group walking 2 or 3 abreast and none of them budge to let you by. You nearly have to shoulder barge them to get by.

I see what you did there.

Listening to an online radio here, DJ said it is now approaching 1PM. Didn't realise my stream had 10 minute lag. Has no impact on anything as only background noise. But it is a major TA.

People bagging big huge shopping trolleys at the Aldi checkout.Move over there you eejit.

bolgbui41 · 08-10-2018 2:23pm

People who don't understand the function of a door handle. Especially when the door leads to the silent study room of a library. There's even a sign on this door asking people to close it quietly, and still every second person lets the door slam shut behind them.

I found some rain jackets in the wardrobe of my "old' bedroom, when I was hanging up some of the clothes I got when I was living away full time.
They are not mine I moved them into the box room, I asked boysib to move them into a vacant wardrobe/cloakroom as Im tight for space.
Today I find they are hanging back in 'my'wardrobe and all on the one hanger!:(:(:mad::rolleyes:

As if I wasn't annoyed enough with that, candidate Freeman has sent me another flyer to recycle for her! #keepthepoet

I had to stand at the top of a set of stairs in a shop at the weekend to allow a group of girls walk up three abreast.
Perish they thought they might walk up single file.
I was waiting for one of them to take the initiative to move over but it didn't happen so I just had to awkwardly stand there and wait for them to pass.

Weekday evening meetings.

Right so, Tuesday is girl child activity that goes on to 9.30 pm, Thursday boy child's activity until 9 pm, that leaves Monday evening and Wednesday evening to fit in "Community alert meetings" till 8/9 pm, and an extra "cubs" meeting just for parents' pleasure on the Monday evening, or Book Rental committee meetings ...

Have to go. :mad::mad::(

Sort of TA - at the moment I'm sitting at a laptop, the time is in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, if I lift my eyes there's a digital clock on the window sill but I always look at my watch for the time!

The Pheasant2 · 08-10-2018 7:53pm

When you open a bulb of garlic and instead of a few decent sized cloves for some reason it's comprised of about thirty micro-cloves which are inevitably a pain in the hole to peel.

Also for some reason lately all the nets of brown onions I can get seem to be from some new midget variety, feckin tiny so they are (and no I did not accidentally but shallots :P )

And that will be all in terms of my Allium vegetable related gripes for now...:pac:

misstearheus · 08-10-2018 8:44pm

So much to do, biteen stressed here. Not even a lot by any scale just a lot for my non-energetic non-motivated self.

Would love to get inside a G.P.'s mind sometimes. My G.P. is old-fashioned / old-school etc. They don't fire out the Meds like a lot of other Doctors do. Am just getting over Headcold, it's about 90%-ish gone. I knew I had / have a Chest Infection so I went in to get a Prescription for something to take for it. Nope nopey no. Whole lotta nopes. The day I went in I sounded like I had Baby Croup. But no. Fight it on my own was the diagnosis. My Lungs were clear apparently. Had and still have difficulty breathing and frog-in-throat thing. If I was given something to take for it I'm pretty sure I'd be 100% better now. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

AAAAAAAH BALLZZZZZ My Car won't start!

Left the feicing Lights on 2 hours ago, was gonna go somewhere else, ran into House for a minute to get something but didn't bother going again, just went out to Car now and it won't start! Such luck!

Anyone around Galway with Jump-leads?!?

A TA (though not particularly trivial) of mine; people demanding antibiotics regardless of what their professional doctor tells them and driving antibiotic resistance that could eventually kill the rest of us.

Went to a taster session for cheerleading at uni here and I loved it! My TA's are twofold, if I try out and make it on the team, I'll be leaving at Christmas and won't get to perform at games (and won't get a uniform) My other TA is that college at home doesn't have cheerleaders so I'll probably never get to do it again

I've taken to squeezing all the onions in a net for telltale softness recently because I've been stung by so many of these this year. I feel like I should do my shopping with a wheeled cart and a headacarf and rollers.

My mother got the third degree while buying Motilium for me last week. Motilium! The pharmacist asked her had I any bowel issues and my mum was like "Yes, she has diarrhoea, hence the need for the flippin Motilium".

You can buy a new battery for your phone.

TA went to the garage and couldn't work the fuel pump-it was a new one. I had to ask some guy for help. I felt like a right moron especially when I saw an OAP using it with no issues.
