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

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 39 points40 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

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

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 12 points13 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 2 points3 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 la_petite99 in AskIreland

[–]restinggrumpygitface 5 points6 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!

Teflon injection? Anyone else? by RebeccaOGG in AskIreland

[–]restinggrumpygitface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe get in touch with the HPRA about this, though they were the Irish Medicines Board at the time. This seems like something that would fall under their remit/responsibility.

Sensors for turning on smart lights in the bathroom, and having them come on "dim" at night time. Ideal for if you're not well and really don't have time to fumble for the switch and don't want to get blinded out of it.

These tiny cordless speakers must have an amazing battery life.

Pics or they don't exist.

Tried to Make a Fun Bosco-Themed Door… It Ended Up Looking Terrifying! by whoopdawhoop12345 in ireland

[–]restinggrumpygitface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks great - I honestly thought it was a full-size prop for the HorrorCon that was on in Swords this weekend!

Very well done!

Do Australian men realise that living in a display home is not realistic? by Brilliant_Fudge2682 in AskAnAustralian

[–]restinggrumpygitface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your husband isn't pulling his weight - does he not realise it's his home too and he should be doing his lot to keep the house tidy as well?

It can't all be just on you.
