Strange things people do

Well....it was highlighted to me a few weeks ago that there is a girl who goes in each and every Friday, puts a few sausages, rashers, eggs, hash browns etc on her plate and then steps into the pancake/waffle section and puts CHOCOLATE SAUCE on her food! Only I've seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it.

A fella in work starts to eat his lunch at 4.15 at his desk and goes home at 5

Was waiting at a red light and saw him talking at a nice looking lad who was clearly uninterested and just too polite to end the one-sided conversation. Was in Costa Coffee once a few years ago and looked down to see him staring up at me from the downstairs level with his mouth literally hanging open but I've gotten too auld looking now and I'm getting the crows feet so he doesn't pay any attention to me anymore. I went to college years ago with a good looking lad from abroad who was getting the train to Dublin. This guy sits on the seat beside him and traps him in conversation for the whole journey!  There's people who probably know who I'm on about, or maybe there's lads like this in every Irish town. He got robbed in suspicious circumstances in Dublin years ago. A bit like how Kevin Spacey got robbed walking in the park in London that time he totally wasn't trying to hook up with someone.

My brother taught foreign language students and a colleague in a position above him gave him the usual snide sh*te over the accent even though he has the most neutral accent imaginable. Meanwhile he had English colleagues who said "pronounciation" instead of pronunciation and "bought" instead of brought. So they're basically teaching people from abroad how to speak like morons. Ironic. I noticed it watching the Italian football on TV as well. Commentators saying "he bought the ball down" instead of "he brought the ball down".

Going to throw in here because it's quite strange,  but just put prawns on a pizza....
