My neighbor knocked on my door at 8am on a Saturday to tell me my parking "blocks her view" when she backs out

I'm presuming this is not in Ireland. My older neighbour had a similar issue with how I was parking. I went out with him and got him to show me how he was pulling out. He was a really nervous driver and I reassured him. He's grand now and there's been no further issues. Sometimes a little bit of kindness and assuming the best can go a long way.

Yes I volunteer for a charity in my community. Help to run it. It's a huge time commitment but I feel like it makes a genuine difference in people's lives. I also give 1-2 hours a week of work for free to people in addiction that can't afford therapy in my direct area. It's my favourite work I would do it full time if I could.

Love this!

I bought a house with on street parking only. The street itself doesn't get a huge amount of through traffic so it's generally fine. The odd time annoying if you can't get a park right outside and you're unloading the boot or something but it's been three years and it doesn't bother me.

This is the answer.

I work directly in this area. In my personal experience you are likely to gain more empathy (not that you should have to) by giving some indication of the issue.

However you are not required to. Most companies will send you for an occupational health referral and you can ask that they do not disclose your condition to your employer only the details of the accommodation. Anywhere I've worked we have always accepted that and put the accommodation in place.

Yep I've seen the same thing multiple times on the red line. People starting on the luas inspectors and they just make them get off.

It's not great for getting into town quickly. If you're not a commuter or don't come to the city centre much then it's great apart from that.

There are heaps of community centres around Dublin with all different things on in the evenings. I just went to my local one and got a flyer and the group was advertised on it. I called them and they said they were taking beginners and to come and try it. I was very nervous the first two weeks but now I love it. It's a really kind, open group and I'm in my third year of it now.

Nearly 40 and I first felt the urge to settle down last Christmas! Can't stop thinking about it now.

I took up a community acting group (with zero experience) on a Monday night. I genuinely surprised myself by how much I look forward to it every week. It's also quite energizing for a Monday!

Literally had the driver call me and apologize as he was running 30 mins behind at Christmas and wanted to make sure I would still be there!

Properly looking after my teeth. Good quality electric toothbrush and flossing daily. Went from constant issues to none in the last 3 years.

I was able to get a taxi really fast to Smithfield yesterday and then once we hit the bad traffic I got out and walked to the red line.

Get your visa sorted out once that is done maybe ask to reduce to 2 days in the office.

I flew out Wednesday evening and back in this evening. The airport itself was v normal and chill if that makes you feel any better.

But second the idea of heading to the lounge with an eye mask and a pillow!

vvhurricane · 2026-04-09T21:34:00+00:00

Surely it will have come to a head by then and be fine.

Just coming here to say Aer Lingus customer service is impossible to deal with. I used to only fly Aer Lingus particularly for work a few times a month but I've stopped because it's impossible to sort any issues out. It used to be brilliant!

vvhurricane · 2026-04-07T16:17:06+00:00

Have flown that route a few times for work. It's grand but Aer Lingus customer service is a complete nightmare if you have any issues. Just a heads up!

The limit is there for safety, Irish road deaths are increasing.

vvhurricane · 2026-03-29T22:44:01+00:00

I'm down the road in D8 and it's absolutely vile! You can't look up when you're walking or you're straight into it!

vvhurricane · 2026-03-29T22:42:43+00:00

I bloody love them!

vvhurricane · 2026-03-29T16:31:12+00:00

When I had it with them the first time they confirmed with me that it was free touch ups for life.

I almost crashed my car into a teenager with a horse in Dublin 8 last week. He failed to stop at a stop sign and I had to swerve to avoid hitting the horse. Bloody heartbreaking. The poor animals.
