I find that's a bigger problem that incorrect change (I mostly pay by card anyway) i.e. multi-buy discounts not passed on etc. Nothing worse than not discovering this until you get home as the incentive to go back is severely diminished.


    Supervalu the worst culprits by far.

    A friend who has a job she can coast through and there so long cant be sacked, parents paid for most of her/their house, giving out about ppl I don't know who don't do what she tells them, ie not watching the same netflicks series she is.

    I get when ppl have their lives settled these things are annoying, but STFU or FO, some of us have to scramble to get through each day!
    You should introduce her to my friend who complains about the fact that his dad used his first time buyers grant to purchase one of the many houses that he will bequeath to him when he dies. I just can't stop being TAd about that.

    Feel like I was profiled by gardaí at a checkpoint earlier.

    They were breathalyzing and testing for drugs in the system, and I was fully compliant, although ****ting it as I had a few cans during the live sport yesterday evening (like I imagine a sizeable chunk of the country).

    Passed both tests anyway thankfully, but I got the impression that he was keen to "do" me for something. Full inspection of the car, checking my tax discs etc. Had me standing on the side of the road for ten minutes as the swab test for the presence of cocaine etc was processed (never done any drugs in my life so knew I was okay). I'm surprised he didn't get out a measuring tape to see if I was .1 metre outside of my 5KM zone. And not one other car had to conduct a test in the time I was there.

    Now I am a 32 male so probably fall into the age category of drivers who do break the law that way, but I can't help feeling if I was ten years older, not wearing a tracksuit or a woman, I wouldn't have been subjected to such scrutiny.

    When I'm watching the Chase and the Chasers patronize the contestants who performed quite poorly in the final chase.

    Paul Sinha is the worst offender, often saying a group of two-four contestants played brilliantly when they only got 16 or 17

    I did a big weekly family shop on Friday morning. I specifically remember grabbing a bag of potatoes.

    I cannot find the potatoes now. I have the receipt, and the potatoes are listed.

    Where the hell are the potatoes? Am I going to find them in two months time, down behind the sideboard, rotten and sprouting? Are they in a bag somewhere that I forgot to unpack? What else is in the bag?

    TA I did my shopping on Friday and ended up with an extra bag of potatoes. They're not on my receipt. I've no idea where they came from. Feel bad eating them thinking of someone else missing out 😸

    Sitting in ALL DAY waiting for a delivery. I have to go outside to accept them so it's a bit of a faff. I saw the truck outside from the window about half an hour ago and thought 'finally, I can start making dinner'. Got my shoes on ready to go out and get it while your man was turning on the road. The doorbell never rang. I ran downstairs and there was nobody there, no sign of it. The idiot must have put it through the wrong letterbox. Could they not just take a moment to check they're at the right house? I think those people are away somewhere and I haven't seen them in weeks, and I've ordered something I needed today, hence paying extra for next-day delivery.

    I know it's a first world problem, but I'm pretty irritated. I don't expect to order something expensive, pay extra for delivery and then have it posted through the wrong letterbox by someone who doesn't give a fcuk. It's now created a problem where I'm going to have to go and knock there every day to try to get the thing. Why can people not try to be more competent?

    I've normally an inherent crank, it's just who I am, no different from the colour of my skin. But today I said I'd try out a sunny disposition just to see what happened. Instead of shaking my fists at Sunday day trippers that I know to be 5km beyond their homes, I waved. One guy actually stopped to ask me a nice place to walk his dog and we'd a great chat. Another asked directions. A few waved back. I got a sense that we are all just in this together. It felt lovely and fuzzy.




    I hate it. I'm much more in my comfort zone being an antichrist. Back to normal tomorrow :D

    Went for a 30km drive today with my dog, to get away from my kids who wouldn't stop moaning about being hungry and there being no potatoes. Dog was making signs that he needed to poop, so I pulled in. Next thing this guy started waving and chatting to me. Turns out he was quite nice, so I had to pretend I was looking for a place to walk the dog. TA'd now that I feel bad that I let my dog poop in his garden.

    A Student/trainee I work with is friends with Mary who has bipolar, to make matters worse Mary's gf has been committed with a bipolar episode. Mary is having a hard time with it all.


    The student is having a hissy bc Mary isn't getting better when she has been told to 'be strong' 3 times already.

    I don't know where to even start with how annoyed that has made me.

    The extra "R" that English people add on to words ending with an "A" or "AW" sound. As in my brother in law referring to where he originally came from as "East Angliar" or the children playing on the "see-sawer". Oh and the creeping pronunciation of "Caitlín" as "Kate-Lynn".

    It's "wa tym lidl openn at?", followed by "sent u a pm" from a friend who still has the French flag on her profile picture. Followed by an unrelated response saying "i tink its a desgrace der taping up cloths sayin der unessenshl. ridicules altgedr"

    My sister's English in-laws getting on my nerves bigly today. One of them asked me some daft question about NI Unionists. I don't know, I'm a Prod from the Midlands not Belfast and my family would have been dedicated Fianna Fail voters so definitely not Unionists. My sister has been married to one of you for nearly 10 years now, how can you not know where we come from?
