Pet Peeves

[astfgyl]

Cheers man, much appreciated

[pete]

An actual pet related peeve here. Me oul pal Pinky the cat died off the other day and I'm devastated over it but because it's an animal you're still expected to turn up to work 20 mins after burying your pal of 14 years. If it is a dog, people understand a bit more and you might get the day out of it but you're sort of not allowed be in grief for the cat, at least not in any official sense. 

Ah sorry to hear that! And definitely, wrongly, different expectations in that space.

[Carnage]

Sorry to hear that. It is hard, sure they're members of the family really.

[astfgyl]

Aye, sound lads. It is that really, they're part of the home. I suppose because cats are generally so aloof compared to a dog but some of them are loyal as fuck too. Have buried a few before but I'm particularly haunted by this one. Ah well.

Back to regular peeves, and it has come up before more than once but around 3 times today I encountered knobs that don't like indicating at roundabouts but then have the gall to make faces at me over their own lack of care. It's a fucking indicator, how is it not like a reflex

This is Ireland man, don't mind the indicators. They would probably indicate wrong. The only way to go when in/entering the roundabout is to simply hold off and wait until everyone else is out of it.

Tbf in most cases I do, but not in the morning trying to get to work through one of the worst traffic towns going!

Yeah, I do get your point. It's not just a peeve though, but a serious and deeper issue. I've been to over 30 countries in Europe, and drivers in Ireland are the worst I've seen.

'Ebay week', getting ads for that now, is it a new thing?

Mammon reigns supreme.

This Toy Show shite...great for the kids yeah..but the adults need to get a grip...you had your time...

I watched it with the kids the other night, they enjoyed and to be fair, it had its moments in a nostalgic kinda way.
One of the young performers did a version of Country Roads, Take Me Home. Nothing particularly wrong with his rendition, I just fucking despise that song, even more than Proud Mary... in terms of shite songs guaranteed to get all the boggers on their feet at a culchie wedding, that one takes the fucking biscuit. And I'm saying that as a culchie.

[astfgyl]

As a culchie myself, I fucking despise that tune too.

[Eoin McLove]

I'm only a semi- culchie and, curiously, I am not so vehement in my hatred for that song, despite not liking it. Someone at a woke university should do a study. I wonder how it all ties back to important trans concerns.

[astfgyl]

  I thought that was the whole point of the thing was to pre-empt that movement

The tech my missus is at outsourced their car parking to some English English crowd to run, and have the balls to charge students like 7£ a day for parking. Pretty annoying state of the times in general, but they have a black Friday sale on, 20% off parking for the next few days.

Between that and a cool spot for pints & pop up food vendors being turned into a car park I'm feeling very ted kaczynski-y
