Trivial things that annoy you

Mr.Prodston

Truck drivers who drive up and down a road on the way to my home to a quarry. The road is narrow enough as it is but the speed they go at is downright dangerous at times! Today after meeting one I had to reverse back a bit and there was a laneway they could have pulled into on their side of the road where we both could have easily passed at the same time. But oh no after a series of hand gestures indicating that I should cross the road into the laneway that they could easily have pulled into and leaving me to reverse back out onto the road. Not even a salute of gratitude after doing so :mad:

People who behave as if they are the first ones ever to procreate. I've a relative who had a baby 14 months ago (you'd think the novelty would have worn off by now) and every time I check my FB feed, I am greeted with pure drivel about baby yoga, baby signlanguage etc. I'd be afraid to teach my baby sign language in case it didn't bother learning to speak ffs - how did the rest of us survive without interpretative dance for tots and placenta smoothies? Their child will likely grow up thoroughly average and they'll all be so depressed they'll have to end it there and then.

But if there was any risk of the ground being soft, it's not worth the risk, especially if he was loaded.

If you went in and got stuck, it would be relatively minor to get you out; in fact he could pull you out himself with a decent rope.

If he went in and got stuck, would have to let off the load and potentially get a crane or something to pull him out.

Would have no problem with that in the slightest.

Maybe I didn't explain it well enough but there was honestly plenty of room to pull in there and it's a level bit of ground where I've met other trucks/tractors with trailers/milk lorries etc have all pulled in there with no issue in the past. An area wider and longer than the vehicle no way it could get stuck or have anything bad happen.

Obviously if it was dangerous for the truck to pull in there I'd have been happy enough to do it. However it just struck me as being lazy/arrogant behaviour and was the nonchalant manner and lack of gratitude that annoyed me most!

Hmmm, ok, no real excuse for it then!

The brother was something like that, baby couldn't take a piss without him shoving it up on facebook. So a week later my other brother just took him off his friends list, had no problem telling him exactly why either when the brother called to say "WTF! You unfriended me?"

Yeah, there's one- this whole friending and unfriending terminology, it's cringeworthy.

Bad enough when I have to say to someone when talking to them "I'm trying to think how to put this in business speak", and they say "Well you have to try"...

"Fcuk you" doesn't translate. I could've use sign language, there's one universal sign they'd have understood!

It's a quiet room, everyone working away. Then it starts. That one person who decides to eat an apple.

The missus was in her parents house the other day while they happened to be babysitting her sisters kid (about 18months old, they mind her 1 day a week for past year or so, this was not the first day). First the kids mother rang to break the news that seeing as it was such a warm day, if the kid was too hot they could take off her jumper, then the father rang to say that if she was rubbing her eyes that probably means she's tired.
FFS, these people raised 5 kids of their own!

Very very trivial but, Michaella mc collums stupid bun haircut annoys me, shes all over the news with the hair the same way and its been over a week let the damn hair down! i know she has a lot of other worries right now so her hairstyle is probably the last thing on her mind but it looks silly!

It's really bugging me too. This is going to sound very petty, but it is AH. The photos of her on the news make her look like a hooker. I find it kind of funny when I see her now I automatically think 'Coke and Hookers':D
