Some factory just shut down in Leitrim. 41 jobs gone. And the local TD is out with this quote:
Frank Feighan, Fine Gael Roscommon/South Leitrim TD, said the job losses would have a devastating effect on the local community.
“This news could not come at a worse time for the 41 staff who have given loyal service to the factory since it opened in the 1970s,” he said.
Why is it always the worst time for a factory to close? Surely it would have been worse if it closed in the 1980s or near Christmas or something? Peak of summer with a chance to get interviews done before the Leaving Cert is finished, it’s cracking timing.
Jesus that flights scenario seems like hell Mac, those cheap Ryanair flights into shitehole North England cities are the worst for it!
Throwing cigarette ash/butts out the window of your car when there’s a fuckin designated ash tray in the car is totally wrong. It nearly caused an accident a few years back when some ash landed on my finger when I was cycling.
People who get into a lift, see that floor they are going to has already been pressed, then press the button again. The same goes for pedestrians crossing at traffic lights. There’s 15 people standing there waiting to cross and the next person to join the crowd presses the button. WTF? Do they think nobody else has thought to press the button?
Fuckin bugs the hell out of me that, at my local bus stop it’s not enough that one punter puts out his hand to signal the bus driver to stop, nearly everybody at the stop puts out their hands, retards!!
People who don’t understand how lifts work. Don’t mind someone who gets in a lift to go up when it’s going down or whatever but I don mind when they get confused by the fact it’s going the other way because they don’t understand how the lights work. Then they can’t figure out why it stops again on their original floor.
When I’m going down and an up-bound lift opens it’s always funny to get weird looks off punters who can’t understand why I don’t board the lift with them, even more funny when the lift comes back down and the same punters are in the lift still trying to complete their down commute.
In saying that though I usually take the stairs, too impatient to wait for lifts.
Had a lift based incident within the last few minutes.
Pressed button for up and the lift duly came and opened for me. Then the doors closed. All of a sudden it opened again so there was obviously someone outside wanting to get in. The doors opened and I could hear speaking outside but no one moving towards it. Then I pressed the button to shut the doors and then the blooming doors opened again! They made their way towards the door this time wonderintg if they should get in or not…
