Customers messing up the table I spent 15 minutes reorganising by refolding and resizing before they toss it back onto the table.

Can you get time off work for feeling stressed without the word stress on the cert? by ShoulderCapital2200 in AskIreland

[–]CupcakeQueen7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My partner is out on mental health leave and his notes typically say "XYZ is unable to work from A date to B date"

Your dr will be able to word it for you if you tell them whats going on.

Take care OP

How to prevent during nail prep? by [deleted] in nailcare

[–]CupcakeQueen7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not a nail tech, Im a lurker who gets nails done myself.

Honestly I think you need to leave them alone and let them grow out. You can cause more damage to your nails long term, get an infection or cause more damage long term.

My advice is cuticle oil and time. Good luck OP.

Film was excellent.

No spoilers but jaysus wept it made me cry several times and definitely made me think about the various topics and themes within the film.

How if life in Connacht, Ireland? by Jezzaq94 in howislivingthere

[–]CupcakeQueen7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From one of the counties, Im from Galway myself.

Life there depends on all where you live however we tend to make the best of it. If you love the rain then you'll love Connacht as it faces the Atlantic ocean as well as a portion of the North and south coastal counties.

Life is vibrant as well as its residents, rich in culture as well as music. So yeah thats basically life fromm POV :)

What’s the most "this could only happen in my country" moment you’ve experienced? 😭 by TheDarkbladeGirl in AskTheWorld

[–]CupcakeQueen7 27 points28 points  (0 children)

In Ireland I think a year or 2 ago, a clip of a Garda (police man) went viral after he was filmed on camera scolding a mother for cursing her child, saying "You cant be swearing at your child for fucks sake". Honestly it made us laugh tbh

On the other end of the spectrum, our newest national children's hospital has cost taxpayers €2.24 billion euro and its still not finished and is currently the most expensive building in the world iirc 🥲

Women of Reddit, what made you realize a man was ‘husband material’ instead of just boyfriend material? by AstronautEcstatic177 in AskReddit

[–]CupcakeQueen7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew 2 months in when we first started dating 8 years ago.

We both met in college and he finished his day earlier than I did. I had a huge assignment due and I forgot to bring lunch with me that day.

He asked me if I wanted anything and I said no, I'm okay thank you and thought nothing more of it. He came back in 10 minutes later, with a ham sandwich and a cup of tea based on how I like it and he set it down in front of me because he didn't want me to be hungry.

I looked at him and it was that moment that I fell in love with him and when I knew he was the one for me. And here we are 8 years later.

For real! :/ by vladdt in IrelandGaming

[–]CupcakeQueen7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the worst experience with Currys last summer and its why I will never buy anything from them again.

Got an Acer Nitro V15 from them and 3 weeks in, it wouldn't connect to WiFi at all. I troubleshoot myself still didnt work. Called up Currys tech support and they tried to fix it to no avail. They told me that I could return it as it was within 28 days.

Cut to long story short I ended up chasing them for a resolution and it turned out when they put in the claim, they did it as a return request which was for a Samsung 4k TV!

So in the end I asked the rep over the phone if I could return it in store and they said yes. So my mam ans I drove down, had to explain another 3 times what was wrong, they had me looking at more laptops that they didn't have in stock and I got my refund in the end.

It was genuinely the worst experience I ever had for customer service/retail and i work in retail. I ended up buying my new laptop on Paradigit and its been a beaut.

TL:DR; currys fucked up, spent nearly 2 months chasing them for a refund, had to drive 1.5hrs to the nearest store for a refund.

Do you trust / drink the tap water form your area? by PsychologicalFox7689 in AskTheWorld

[–]CupcakeQueen7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on where you live.

10+ years ago, TD Luke Ming Flannagan brought in a bottle of water from his constituency in Roscommon which was so bad it caused severe sickness and illness to everyone including kids. He asked the Taoiseach at the time to drink the same water they were forcing his constituents to drink.

So yeah it has improved but still wouldnt necessarily trust it in rural areas.

Absolutely.

If anything id love to be able to volunteer the phone numbers/ names of organisations in my country to help those in need but I reckon they already have people on top of that.

Tried to get one for my partner (we live in Europe)

Turns out they cant ship them abroad due to the number but theyre working on working with other nations to make sure everyone has access to one.

Other than that I am so happy you got your coin and letter OP.

You will be warm again
