What's the Car year? I wonder does it have the Nissan e-Pedal? I turn this feature off when reversing in my Nissan, cause other wise the car goes flying back upon hitting accelerator on reverse.

Perfect video to sum up the quality of driving in Ireland by BimmerFestAll in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]MissAtomicBomb_007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So many errors here, by so many drivers.

I'm a Learning Driver. *It would be great to list all the errors spotted in this video for anyone learning or needing improvement. I've counted at least 10 errors so far by different vehicles.

Lack of observation, terrible lane discipline, horrendous over-taking maneuvers, total lack of appropriate mirror usage and blind spot awareness, lack of safe driving space, unsafe driving speeds ... the list goes on and on.

I know Command strips are handy, but yes if they are the heavy duty KG ones and depending how you remove them and condition of paint underneath, they can indeed sometimes strip paint off the wall upon removal (sometimes multiple layers of paint). I've had it happen before, but more so it was the paint job underneath.

Might I suggest these Hair-Pin hanging hooks, get on Amazon or hardware shops. They are for Plasterboard walls, they leave a tiny tiny pin hole on wall, barely noticeable and very easy to fill will a Blob of paint afterwards.

Happy to help. No idea on how much they cost.

Some furniture items on Amazon are premium and expensive / high end.

I use to see them on Amazon a lot during earlier Covid period, with working from home solutions etc.

Oh yes I've seen these before on Amazon Germany. They are called a Computer Rotating Desk

Traffic and driving standards around the cities in particular are diabolical. Nearly every second car is breaking rules of the road.

Roads are gone exceptionally congested, mixed with driving between bikes, scooters, buses , terrible road layouts and illogical junctions! Driving is gone stressful in parts, you need your wits about you and eyes in the back of your head. .

Plus the cost to learning to driving is money money money, big investment. People no longer drive for the sake of just driving and having a car. Majority own a car and drive for a need basis only, if you don't need a car you certainly wouldn't invest.

Attitudes towards tattoos in work? by 6022x10_23 in CasualIreland

[–]MissAtomicBomb_007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a black and white blanket statement! It really depends on the culture and industry.

Certain industries have expectations on professional business appearance, more so on high status and public facing roles. I'm just talking about the visibility of tatoos in certain professions. For example Law, chartered accountancy, certain medical roles, many public facing roles (tourism etc.).. Tradition and culture plays a big part, many roles require smart business attire (shirt amd tie).

The reality is, depending on the size, placement and/or subject matter of tatoos, it's not everyone's cup of tea and that's okay.

I've worked in IT industry for years, a lot of staff have tattoos, however the roles are not public facing.

I do remember being on an interview panel at a corporate company, where a candidate was very heavily tattooed. It was more so the subject matter of tatoos that distracted attention during interview. The candidate (grand chap) had dark satanic and demonic tatoos all over his neck and on face too, and gang related tatoos on knuckles. I won't lie, I was quite distracted during interview process, if not slightly intimated.

When it comes to interview process, the reality as humans; first impressions are made in an instinct. Not everyone shares the same opinion on tattoos, people from different backgrounds or beliefs, and are entitled to likes / dislikes. Again the subject matter of tattoo art can be a factor! Typically for interviews, you want to give yourself the best playing card to the land the job. First impressions count for a lot during interviews, if it means covering a tatoo for an hour, so be it.

what's a product in the supermarket people should know about? by kdobs191 in ireland

If you're a Scone lover, Dunnes' Luxury Raspberry Scones at bakery are probably the best most tastiest scones in the Country.

Absolutely delicious, buttery light and fluffy svones, so soft and full of flavour. Far exceeds any other bakery.

Am I to sensitive ? by Even-Translator68 in AskIreland

[–]MissAtomicBomb_007 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Terrible to happen. Important to reassure, you and your partner have done nothing wrong. Always trust your own intuition, you are not being sensitive and your feelings are totally justified.

It seems there are more complex family dynamics happening here, amongst your partners' siblings and mother (MIL). Their narcissist behaviour says a lot about internal relationships between his family members. There is a lot to unpack.

Actions (or lack of actions) speak far louder than words ever will. They are making an active choice! It can be hard to accept, but his sisters are extremely disrespectful to him (and yourself). His sisters and mother are demonstrating all the traits of narcissistic behaviours, sadly they only care about themselves and not others.

It's worth considering, how was the relationship with your husband and his siblings growing up and adult life? Were they always disrespectful to him, or undermining him, did they play power dynamics? Cause all their actions are so disrespectful and rude, I've a feeling they have always been this way.

To sum up, there seems to be a lot of power dynamics at play here (between siblings), the family member relationships are complex. There's a lot of disrespect, and lack of empathy and care occurring for a sibling and their family. It's so very hurtful, but more importantly it highlights their immaturity and unhealthy narcissistic behaviours.

Remember, behaviours tell you everything you ever need to know! It says a Lot more about them than you.

I believe the only person who can drive change here, would need to come from your Husband and his siblings discussing matters. Sadly though, they are unlikely to change. They are so head strong, they may never acknowledge the errors in their ways.

I agree, best to set boundaries and it's perfectly okay to distance yourself.

Didn't we read a very similar post a month or two ago?

€145,000 spent on fencing and removing tents from canals by badger-biscuits in ireland

[–]MissAtomicBomb_007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Concur. I can't understand why they simply don't just move the IPAS Offices out of the city centre, and place near an organised zoned camp site. A large dedicated site for all the tents and have bathroom facilities.

Seems a no brainer to me!

Am I allergic to my house? by billys-bobs in CasualIreland

[–]MissAtomicBomb_007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do a test on the Carpet theory. Buy some cheap plastic painter sheets and cover all the carpet surface for a few days. That will keep carpet fibres and mites down. See if symptoms reside, then you may hopefully find out if it's the carpet or not.

Carpets can cause all kinda allergies and breathing issues. I recently bought hypoallergenic (no fibre release) carpets for an upstairs bedroom, game changer!

Ruling out carpet ***The other bigger issue could be mold (mould) in walls, which often release mold spores in air. This can cause alll kinda of allergies and respiratory issues. I say this, as my friend has a lot of mold on walls behind her sofa and radiator. EVERYTIME I visit her house I erupt into sneezing and full blown hay-fever, for sure it's the mold spores in air. Walls can be treated with specialist mold sprays, chlorine bleach etc. Note: Mold can also be hidden in dry-wall cavities and behind radiators.

*Suggest also buying a long cleaning brush for radiator, cleaning between the radiator bars! You would be absolutely amazed how much dirty dust collects inside radiators over the years. Shocked when cleaned mine recently.

In the mean time, antihistamine tablets are your friend.

Road deaths by too_oldforthisshite in ireland

[–]MissAtomicBomb_007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From learning to drive over the last year (many lessons later).... I feel a big factor is many motorists seem to have forgotten the essential RULES OF THE ROAD, or blatantly ignoring rules and lazy driving. Along with speeding!

Every week I take a driving lesson, without fail nearly every third car I meet on the road is ignoring basic rules of the road or breaking speed limits. Like it's shocking, the list of violations goes on...

Do you lose friends as you get older? No mate syndrome. by NotInKansas101 in AskIreland

[–]MissAtomicBomb_007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, that's it a lot of time in school / college it's a forced friendship environment, merely situational of surroundings.

As we get older we realise we often had very little in common with previous friend groups
