Specific Americanism: when they ask can they "do (an order of)" whatever fuckin thing they want from a menu.

No idea why but this one upsets me greatly. Haven't heard anyone say it here yet, thank fuck.

My favourite album is scratched.

Yep. I find it annoying too too.

"Tell ya what... I'm gonna do chicken fingers, then I'm gonna do a burger."

Do what to the burger? And say "please and thanks", yeh late 40's, college sports team sweatshirt wearing FUCK yeh!




Too specific...?

Whatever they decide to 'do' they'd ruin your appetite with the way they control a knife and fork! I've American colleagues I can't go to dinner with as I can't watch them eat!

I went for a hill walk last Sunday. The weather was supposed to be cool. It ended up warm. I brought a change of clothes thinking I might get wet but it didn't even occur to me to bring a hat or sun screen. Suffice to say my noggin got crisped. I was heavy on the moisturiser all week and thought I was going to get away with it. I jumped out of the shower this evening and my scalp looks like an onion that's be roasted to death! I'm like Freddy Krueger with leprosy. At least it'll be fun to peel off

The itch will drive you mad.

I'm half dreading what state my pillow will be in in the morning.

When you walk up to a deli or take away counter and the person working immediately shouts "HI HOW CAN I HELP YOU"?

You can help me by giving me a fucking moment to see what you actually have for sale, I'll let you know when I've made up my mind, thanks!

[John Kimble]

Nah, you shouldn't approach the counter unless you know what you want. Like if you're a bit unsure, maybe hang back a bit. I've worked enough shitty retail jobs to appreciate that the customer is rarely right. Fuck right off with your indecisiveness, you should know what you want in a breakfast roll/sandwich by now

It drives me insane, especially when there's no one else to order.

"Losing" a pair of noise-cancelling earbuds worth €150.

I say "losing" because I'm pretty sure that I left them on my office desk last night.

I'm rightly fucked off today.

[Carnage]

Fucking customs charges, yet again. Between that and excessive postage charges a CD/T-shirt deal is costing me the guts of €60.

[hellfire]

Is there any way to contest those charges? I've had a few where the charges exceeded the value of the items.

[Carnage]

The only alternative on the An Post siye is to refuse to pay it, and they return to sender. Absolute cunts.
