    The guy upstairs has about 5 men round and it sounds like they are tearing down walls. This has been going on a week now. I would love to call the cops on them but they would know it was me. If it's like this over Easter I'll fcking kill someone

    Initially I thought you were referring to God, for the weekend that’s in it and all😂

    Anyone who writes "except" when they mean "accept" must know it's "unexceptable" to do so.

    Anyone who writes "except" when they mean "accept" must know it's "unexceptable" to do so.

    Almost as bad as people who write "then" when they mean "than". It's even worse when they're heard actually saying it. "I think Pepsi is better THEN Coca Cola" Ah fcking stop it ya melt. The worst part is, in a world where everyone is a bloody grammar nazi, they never get pulled up for writing it! It slips through the cracks for some reason!

    They do it on purpose because they think it's cooler "then" saying than! A genuine mistake could be forgiven but I just know these lumps are doing it intentionally!

    TA there isn't a f*ckin Easter egg to be found anywhere. How many do people need? I just wanted one, a small little milky bar one for like three quid for my babba..nope, not a dicky bird left after all the vultures have "ben" to the shops :( Probably have obese kids sitting at home with fifteen eggs around them.

    Use of "foo" and "bar" in coding examples, sacrificing clarity in the name of cleverness.

    Is foo bar the opposite of a wet pub?

    I do see celebs in early pregnancy on Instagram showing off their bellies and I'm thinking how much they are like my belly after my dinner.

    That's another TA, Instagram. I opened an account so I could get wedding ideas. Its useful for finding suppliers but I made sure to pick those showcasing their work rather than themselves. A narcissist's paradise.

    One nice day and there's guaranteed to be a pr*ck with a chainsaw out, ruining it for everyone..sit down and have a beer and stop felling trees just cause your wife told you to.

    I’m using the hedge strimmers, lawnmower etc and I’m no ones wife :D You’d love to be my neighbour :D

    My TA is the dog won’t settle, if he’s out he wants to go in and when he’s in he wants to go out.

    When I was a kid my aunt used really annoy me at Easter she used call on Easter Sunday/Monday and used buy me an egg on the way and it was generally some strange diabetic chocolate egg that was left over.

    The tenant upstairs has been banging all day and night. It's Easter weekend and there's no end to it. I don't know what to do about it.

    It's more about getting away from the wife and drowning her out with noise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,627 ✭✭✭Gamer Bhoy 89


    Mildly hungover and the worst case of heartburn in the world. I love Whisky so much but christ does it kick you in the face if you drink more than enough

    So my tax euros are now being used to pay legal aid for someone who can afford to go to Dubai for breast implants and arrives to court wearing runners that cost €800.

    Why do we bother?

    Wife is watching Bones, she loves it, I loathe it, what really annoys me apart from the ham acting, yer one 'Bones' and her idiotic mannerism, rediculous story lines, all the characters and the music is those fcuking noises their computers make in the lab, those digital noises when they're scanning something, zooming in etc etc..... it's rediculous!!

    He asked me out on a date about 2 years ago. He doesn't drink and suggested we go rollerblading, i declined:)

    TA ingredients not being listed on packaging. I bought a "gourmet" sandwich in Fallon & Byrne and there was cucumber on it. I hate cucumber!
    I wouldn't have spent 7.95 on a sandwich if I knew it had little slices of evil all over it!
    Also could potentially be dangerous if someone had an allergy and bit into it.
    Cucumber should be banned!

    Just had a Creme Egg Easter Egg

    Awfully bland - only ate about one third.

    Was it the rollerblading, the non drinking or he's trivially annoying on First Dates that put you off?

    Haha all of the above! The idea of a grown man rollerblading is pretty unattractive to be honest. I picture Smithers and it puts me right off.
    Imagine the barmans ponytail swinging in the breeze :p

    Driving a road I had not driven for some time, I was struck by the sheer number of fugly new houses.
    They're either dumbed down concrete versions of an ancestral pile or the architects for Tony Soprano's house had been hired. How do people think these awful things look nice?

    I’ve never watched the show here but got “sucked” into watching it when I was last on a foreign holiday with the family.

    That and ‘The Mentalist’. Wouldn’t look twice at them now but, for some reason, it was a nice break between playing cards and getting the kids to bed.

    The actress who plays the main character in ‘Bones’ is Zooey Deschanel’s sister. Make of that what you will.

    Went to buy a fruitcake in the local shop, it cost 1.40, and a few other bits. Dude at the till is new and very young, and as he's scanning through, he manually enters for the fruitcake and it comes up on the register as 2 x almond croissants, but no price. I pay and get the receipt to check. Fecking things cost 2.20 each! I say to the lad, sorry you've overcharged me here, this should be only 1.40 and you've charged me twice.
    He apologized and gave me the difference back with the reasoning that he didn't know what the code for it was, so took a guess with something else and charged twice, just to be safe.

    If you work in a shop, you don't really just guess the prices :)

    The lotto syndicate moocher

    Always the last to step forward

    Even we started a rotation system to make it clear they still “forgot”

    I am sure if we ever won they wouldn’t be shy about coming forward !

    Again she didn't buy the ticket and someone in Britain won the 144 million :mad:

    We have the patience of a saint in our lotto syndicate

    The rule in our WhatsApp group is if it goes above 100 million we try. 4 out of 5 of us paid for tickets and yet again she "forgot".

    We brought in a rota system to prevent this and everyone has their turn but still she "forgot". Wouldn't be shy in coming forward if we won!

    TA´d at moochers and ta´d we are a pushover.

    Got 2 voicemails, 4 emails and 7 teams messages from work people today about an issue I can't help with, and I'm not even on call. We're using 3rd party contractors for our escalation process, and they just don't care about the rota we have in place, or people's timezones - they just somehow get an idea into their head that you and only you can fix the issue, and keep calling and messaging and emailing until you respond. After ignoring them for an hour, I decided to put an end to it and logged into the system and posted a message explaining that it wasn't something I could fix and why. Then they start hassling me asking who could fix it. FFS, if I knew that, I would have told them, and anyway, that's their job to figure out.

    What's more, they don't know how to use voicemail. Both calls were recordings of them (two different people, mind) going "Hello? Am I audible? Hello Gregor? Hello?" for a full minute! These people are supposed to be specialists in triaging and managing incidents, and they can't even tell when they're recording a voicemail.

    Yes, and a big update in the ticket for all to see saying “Left voicemail with Gregor Samsa”, just to show the world that they’d randomly hoofed it over the wall to me.

    I had a good mind to attach the recording of the voicemails to the ticket and say “but you didn’t actually know you were leaving a voicemail, did you?”

    I took the defrosted chicken out of the fridge to bring to room temp while the oven heats,
    sib walks into the room spraying air freshener(for no reason).

    I suspect that chicken when cooked will have a yummy, fresh linen flavour.
