You know what really grinds my gears?

How could I have one of those when every drawer in the house is full of her stuff?

[Eamonnca1]

How do I stop her indoors from moving things around the house and denying ever touching them? Things with designated spots too, back door key, the iron, phone charger etc. anyone else encounter this and how do I make it stop?

This is every woman ever. My wife is notorious for it. It's incurable.

She's also a persistent loser of her phone. I've had to set up my own phone to be able to find hers.

I have a basket over the fireplace that has all the stuff that I need to know where it is. Headphones, charger, sunglasses, remotes for stuff that only I use.   Works pretty well.

I have a similar thing. It's a fancy big chalice, but it contains all sorts of handy stuff. Work badge, wallet, change, chargers, etc. She never goes near it.

Yeah, car keys are the worst.

Easy to hang them up behind the door when she comes in. Easy to do but is it? Not a chance.

I put them down somewhere...on the table I think, no, on the worktop, no, wait, they're in the back door, blah, blah, blah.

So frustrating when you're in a rush!

We have a designated magnetic hook inside the door for the car keys, but I still see them cropping up in all sorts of random places.

I see patties are starting to replace burgers over this side of the water. Was only a matter of time.

Wtf is a pattie

It's the burger meat. Heard it once at the start of the summer, then again this morning. Yanks call it that. Maybe it'll pass.

But I also shudder when I hear:

roasties (It's roasted potatoes)
toasties (It's toasted sandwiches)
chippy/chipper (It's a chip shop)
peno. (It's a penalty ffs)

So it's probably me who has the problem.

I have an issue with this one. I see them as two different things. I dont really like toasties, well most toasties, which has its contents melted while the bread is toasted, like in a toastie maker. A toasted sandwich to me, which I prefer, is the bread toasted and then the contents for inside added after.  Saves you getting 1st degree burns from a nuclear hot tomato as well.

That's what they call them in Scotland. I don't mind hearing that at all, Scottish sayings have far more business creeping in to Irish speech than Americanisms.

And we always said chippy. I've never lived anywhere where people say chipper.

Cockteasers.

No, not the nightclub variety - it's a name I give to people that make posts on social media, message boards or forums like this that either only contain a hyperlink to another website, or post the link with added text that gives no context whatsoever as to what the link is about.

Most SM & modern forums will automatically parse links from the likes of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc. so that the relevant post or video will appear within the post, but on forums like this that don't do it, then why should I click on the link in question without telling me what it is about, or leads to?

In a few cases, I'm fairly sure some cocktease links are being posted as part of an agenda to to try and entice visitors to visit a website in question and get them to view various pages/articles for the purpose of pursuing political agendas and/or adding website hits for PR purposes.

It's simple. If you're posting on a website like this one that doesn't parse links to show external posts/tweets/videos etc. then for linking to an article on a news website it's not exactly difficult to at least copy & paste the headline along with the link, would be even better to also add the first couple or so paragraphs as well (not the whole article - copyright and all that). YouTube video? Facebook post? Tweet? Give us an indication as to what it's about. Because if you can't be arsed doing any of that, then not only are you a cocktease, you're a lazy one as well.

Don't be a f**king cocktease. 

I'm with you there. Although a lot of news websites these days put a bit of info into the URL for Search Engine Optimization purposes. Youtube links do no such thing though, I wish people would tell me what's behind the link before making me watch a video.

In Dublin, it's a chipper.  I have never heard anyone say Chip Shop (except Kristy MacColl in that song) or Chippy (except in soccer commentary when Liam Brady did something exceptional).
