People being courteous!

I was stopped at the lights in Nexttownover earlier in the week. I was six out of eight cars back, and usually about ten cars get through the lights. The light goes green, and the car that's fourth in line stops to leave someone out of a garage. Only by the time they realise they're being waved out and actually start driving, the light has gone red. So now they're at the front of the queue, and the other four of us have gone ****ing nowhere. If that person hadn't been left out while the light was green, we'd have all gotten through the lights, the road would have been clear for them, and they'd have ended up in exactly the same position, except without four of us behind them.

Stop for people on red, not on green! :mad:

Was supposed to be on 2 weeks holidays starting Monday.
Last night in bed got a call saying someone is gone out sick and can I come in.
And these were supposed to be some of 2019's holidays.
I don't mind too much but when you think you're having a lie in and then have to get up at 5am, its a bit of a shock to the system.
Took me about 3 hours to go back to sleep afterwards.

Genuinely pissed off seeing the state of the Dodder banks, green area near my folks etc. this morning. And people bleating on about "Not enough bins, they're always full, blah blah blah." If you brought it with you full, you can fcuking well bring it home with you empty. There is literally no excuse for littering. Scumbags one and all.

Yep, 2021, where personal responsibilities are frowned on.. seems like a lot of the 18-25 year olds didn’t listen to their parents or didn’t get parented full stop..

Next it will be... “ yes, I drove my car on the path and hit and knocked down a family of 3 going to the park, but there were no signs ‘telling’ me not to..

Knobs who think they are great for calling out an April Fools Day joke.
Saw a very good one earlier and instead of playing along they had to comment and ruin it for everyone.

Oh look at me, I'm great I figured out it was a prank. Fook off.

'Your parcel is out for delivery' ... taps foot impatiently!

If it was DPD there'd be a pretend "we tried to deliver but delivery failed" status in their too.

Contrarily I've actually had more positive experiences with DPD than negative - few and far between at least. Neither service are without fault but for me Fastway are among the worst I've ever dealt with - definitely more bad than good instances with them. I'm so unfortunate with them.

It's at a stage now where if I ever see Fastway as the courier service after I order something, I automatically think "welp, I won't be seeing that for an extra week".

The last time they did this, they told me they successfully delivered an item to my address (there is another household in my estate that has the same door number and same estate, just a different road linked to it - it's hard to explain, it's a big estate split into two sections (the only difference is one estate has 'East' at the end of it)) and I had told them they didn't, and they were adamant they did. They even lied about telling me they used the correct postcode, which they didn't, as it'd be impossible for them to go to the wrong door in that instance.

They didn't budge and refused to fix the problem. The resident of that address actually came to my door and dropped the parcel to me personally, saying that they must've gotten the house mixed up. Lovely woman, and I'm sure she's had this problem before with prior deliveries.

They've also left parcels at my door without knocking. On three separate occasions I've left my house to be met with a parcel at my foot, with no note nor text to tell me it was delivered. All of my biggest problems with regards to parcel deliveries have been with Fastway and it's gotten to a stage now where I get anxious seeing their name come up on the tracking number, because I know I'm not gonna see that parcel for at least another week.

Antares35 · 01-04-2021 1:38pm

I'm the opposite, always found fast way brilliant

sometimes I feel it's luck of the draw with driver routes etc. DPD have pulled some mad sh*t on me over the years, and it's funny when I tell them I've checked our (imaginary) CCTV and didn't see attempted deliveries, it will usually appear late in the evening very quietly and just left behind a gate or bin so we don't notice.

People using the term "Irish Stew" when they clearly have no idea what Irish Stew actually is.

Irish stew is made with lamb or mutton and is not browned or thickened.

The brown beef stew that your mammy used to make is NOT Irish Stew no matter where you are from, where the beef is from or where your mammy is from.
If that's what your mammy called it, she was wrong.:mad::mad:

I have no idea why this bugs me so much but it does.
Perhaps it's because I love Irish stew.:p

They are creepy. They remind me of the time I visited my brother, and his daughter was mad into this film called Coraline. About having buttons sewn into eyes.

Clients with notions. Fcuk off, I'm trying to log off for the long weekend.

Ironically, them wanting to comment to media about the Right to Disconnect code of practice is what has me still at work at 7pm on the eve of a banker.

The book is great. The buttons thing is incredibly creepy though, I’ll give you that.

Spammers on Facebook. They usually bombard the likes of Irish Times / Irish Independent articles with comments about
1/ Bitcoin
2/ Spellcasters
3/ Loans

Some people post responses to them but they never reply. Are they real? Do they have feelings?

I'd be moving there relatively fast now.....none in Tesco yesterday , their shelves were getting bare Wednesday week ago.

I was in 2 lidls yesterday and there was about 20 eggs in each that was first thing in the morning.

Some small local "corner shops" might have them but you will pay.
