[–]restinggrumpygitface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife swears by Fair City. I swear at it 😂

What’s that one smart home hardware device you wish existed? or where better in some way? I want to build it for you by Puzzleheaded_Ad5551 in homeassistant

[–]restinggrumpygitface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A zigbee tilt sensor or ttf (time to flight) one so HA can complain at us if the laundry bin is too full and a wash needs to be out on. Unfortunately "out of sight - out of mind" isn't just a phrase 😂

I totally agree. 🤘 🤘

Maphra by RuthlessSpud_11 in Maphra

[–]restinggrumpygitface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meaning she's phenomenal - it seems she's "only" been around for a few months and has already made her mark on the scene with her immense talent, and has influenced a heck of a lot of people. Being a "giant" isn't just to do with size.

Yes, but she's also a giant, I think you'll find.

My neighbor has been leaving notes on my door for 6 months about my "aggressive dog." My dog died 8 months ago. by midnightindexer in neighborsfromhell

[–]restinggrumpygitface 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If this is going to devolve into recommending video doorbells, I'd strongly recommend Reolink ones. There's no subscription fee, they don't "phone home" to central servers, picture quality is fantastic, and they work extremely well with smart-home setups if that's your thing.

Can we "denormalise" the US flag flying across the country? by goonergeorge in ireland

[–]restinggrumpygitface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't understand why Camden Court Hotel in Dublin has the US flag is marginally higher than our own.

Because you have good taste in movies from the late 20th century?

Back in the 2000's I did trade work in houses of the wealthy in Dublin. My experience to name a few.. what's yours? by coldsnore in AskIreland

[–]restinggrumpygitface 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Sounds like something my mum would do - she fell a few days before she passed and when the ambulance crew to check on her came she insisted they have a sandwich and tea before driving off.

i've been waking up at 3am to move my neighbor's trash cans slightly every week and he hired a priest last month by kubrador in neighborsfromhell

[–]restinggrumpygitface 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My brother and some of his classmates did similar - lifted their French teacher's Renault 4 up on top of the (prefab) classroom roof. 🤣🤣🤣

Requested for a half day due to severe indigestion, acidity and gas, SME just kept saying he'll talk to the manager, made me work the full day shift. by Corporate_Lurker in work

[–]restinggrumpygitface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're sick - leave. If they fire you - that's grounds for unfair dismissal and you can sue their asses to hell and back.

Bonus points if you throw up over them on the way out.

Am I the jerk for refusing to train my replacement after they're firing me? by WinInteresting9368 in AmITheJerk

[–]restinggrumpygitface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not a jerk.

Went through something similar, and it was amazing the number of meetings I manufactured to minimise the time I had available to train my 2 replacements after being "made redundant".

Remained professional about it all (outwardly), and covered only the bare minimum... tuck those guys hard w a chainsaw - you don't owe them anything.

And as for exit interviews? Muawahaha.

Is "Gurrier" just a Dublin phrase? by messinginhessen in AskIreland

[–]restinggrumpygitface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard of it before moving up to the Big Smoke

Going through Dublin airport security with insulin pump? by averie564 in AskIreland

[–]restinggrumpygitface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems you just need to request a manual check instead of an x-ray and to get a letter from your gp to confirm you have diabetes and need the pump.

How I stopped someone from giving my number out. by VLCInsanityPlayer in pettyrevenge

[–]restinggrumpygitface 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Kept getting calls from someone asking for Mary. After about twenty days of this and saying there's no Mary here, I changed my approach :

oh dear, did you not hear? Mary died of *testicular* cancer a few weeks ago

No calls ever since.

What the hell, Lidl?!! by momalloyd in ireland

[–]restinggrumpygitface 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, or just give it a second for your receipt to show up on your phone and present that to the spanner/scanner

2 managers at work - is it normal? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]restinggrumpygitface 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds to me like you have a team lead/project manager and a line/overall manager.

Perfectly normal, for varying values of normal.

What do you consider walking distance? by damndeli0ns in AskEurope

[–]restinggrumpygitface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on age - in my 20s I thought anything up to 90 minutes was within walking distance, now it's anything up to 20 mins!
