Pet Peeves

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Young, healthy and paid sports stars complaining of 'mental health' issues when they face a bit of pressure. Not trying to have a go but am I missing  something here? Maybe go work in a library if that's how you feel?. I wish I could take time off work citing 'mental health'.

Problem is these youngsters pay too much attention to social media without realising the world is full of sad, useless horrible cunts with nothing better to do than send abuse their way. Without real world experience they don't know how to handle that level of vitriol. I know if I was that age I'd have not handled it well.

Totally agree with you on that. Being an athlete today, and especially an Olympic one as opposed to a weekly style sports star of football, etc., is absolutely nothing like it was just a few decades ago. Plus, the extent to which Olympic athletes can be considered to be "paid"... they're not on a salary like, so even if they happen to be among the elite lucky enough to make some money off it, they generally won't make anything if they "take time off." Some of them may well end up working in a library in a few short years when they're no longer young and healthy enough to compete at that level!

Point taken, wasn't having a go, just curious. I just wish they didn't give a sh*t and got on with it. Screw the critics etc. Not easy as a young person I know but you got to learn to take certain things on the chin and move on so to speak.

Tv/radio ads are a special type of annoying but people who actually enjoy them are a special type of retard.

Yeah, your accent wouldn't be out of place at one of Prince Andrews candlelight suppers.

I didn't even see this slight! All I can say is, debatable as that is, I'd prefer to have my accent fit in there than my political views

Having a phone line ripped down by an idiot with a tractor, knocking phone and internet out for a bunch of houses, and Open Eir finally getting round to repairing it, almost two weeks later.

My wife's inability to fill the recycling bin sensibly! Fucks in 3 or 4 uncompacted cardboard boxes and complains that it's full! Drives me nuts every week!

It's the matriarchal society.

€230 vet bill for my constipated cat...

Ah jaysus. Surely a few prunes or a couple of spoons of the liver salts would have gotten it moving a bit quicker.

Joking aside it's amazing how cheap laxatives are for humans vs animals. Same with painkillers

The bills for medicines for animals is crazy....no more pets for me after this...one of my dogs passd away last year and Im still not over it..I've had relatives die since then and didnt give it a minutes thought...fucked up I know but I can only feel how I feel....

[astfgyl]

The vets are extortionate for sure

[Carnage]

I've spent well over a grand on one of the dogs this year already. Just praying none of the others get sick.

[astfgyl]

My little dog is after letting off a series of farts and each one has made me question whether he might be worth saving if it came down to that smell or not

Looking at the messy shit our cat just decided to leave on the floor a bit of constipation wouldn't go astray.......

That the thread is now literal pet peeves has brought a smile to my face. Hahaha.
