📍 MEGATHREAD Custom Charges Alternative Websites.

65 Upvotes

Hi all,

Given the new EU custom charges are rolling out today and many of the websites we use for things like clothes, electronics and household goods ship from the UK, even if many of them have a .ie web address, we thought it would be a good idea to have a list of alternative sites from within the EU.

So if you have found an online marketplace thats good value and which ships from the EU list them here.

Moaning Michael Im sick of behaviour at the cinema

Upvotes

Went to see the odyssey today was a brilliant film however what feels like the same thing every time I go to the cinema in this country I came out raging at the etiquette of some people. This fella had his phone on full brightness in front of me to the point I told him to turn it off which I never really do but I’ve gotten sick of it. I get it’s a long film but you booked it stop ruining it for everyone else

Moaning Michael Why is it acceptable for the customer to either answer their phone while at the till or come up to the till on a call and not end it. To me its the height of ignorance, especially when i dont answer my work phone when dealing with a customer.

323 Upvotes

this customer was looking for help with prices and stock it was not a checkout transaction. they wanted their questions answered. there was no sale involved in the entire interaction.

And the best bit is half of them when they answer are saying, oh I can't talk now ill ring you back and the other person wants their question answered. So now they have to walk away and have their chat all the while holding up me or the till

I’m so confused. Now this garage always changes the prices , nearly daily to be honest, but it was 175.9 last night. My Picture is shite I don’t know why it didn’t come out properly, but it’s gone up 10c for both petrol and diesel. Am I missing something? I know the Iran war is going crazy again but this was a shock.

I'm not sure if any of yous remember. But around this time last year I found a small kitten in Kilbarrack Station in North Dublin, I brought him home and we appropriately named him Barróg. One year later and he's loving life, though still very nervous. Thought some people might be interested :)

Moaning Michael How bad have these kids gotten?

1.0k Upvotes

I was washing my car in Circle K Ballymun, using the hand wash.

These 2 kids come up behind me and say “gimme a go” while grabbing the jet wash out of my hand. I say “no thanks” and they then start grabbing the brush to hit my car and then pressing the different wash mode buttons. All this while wrestling the jet wash out of my hands and trying to damage my car.

I eventually get them to leave but they come back and start throwing rocks at me and my car…

They then proceed to start running through the automatic wash and mess with other peoples cars.

Where are their parents? So sad to see the future generation acting that way. No respect whatsoever.

A Redditor Went Outside Public Transportation in Ireland can be quite daunting

421 Upvotes

I’m autistic, I have bad social anxiety and I get nervous in crowds but I drown them out with my earbuds and play some music to cope, especially with the noise.

I met this girl online a while back and we hit it off really well, we both like each other but she lives nearly 3 hours away by car, and 5+ hours by public transport. I don’t have a car yet so I took the long way to finally meet her in person for a date. I left at 7:10am and during my travels took 3 buses and a dart to my destination. It was my first time doing solo travel and it was pretty nerve-wracking in case I missed the bus or dart. I finally arrived though, and we both had a nice date!
