Trivial things that annoy you

poolboy

Grown men wearing stupid furry hats with the bits that cover their ears. Ok if it's -10 outside I'll accept it but it's not and even worse stupid furry hats with an animals face on them my 5 year old girl has one that's acceptable 25 year old male.....? Also woolly hats during the summer for fashion purposes, a lot of hat related issues really.

It could be worse: you could have just left the hospital figuratively.

For the next couple of weeks....

"have you everything in?"
"Did you get your turkey? will you get a full ham?"
"have you to "DO" Santa?" Me replying in my head "Let Mrs Santa fuucken "DO" him or one of his elves can"
"Do you make your own mince pies?" Aaaaagh Fuuuuuuck off

How on UPC the SD and HD versions of channels are miles apart from each other in the channel listings, especially since it takes a frickin age to navigate through the pissy horizon guide.

The way wikipedia has turned into a chugger

No, you're wrong about this. Wikipedia is a non profit organisation with a tiny staff and is possibly the greatest thing on the internet. They rely solely on donations to operate and can do all the campaigning they want to get it.

There's porn on wikipedia, as long as you apply a very very loose interpretation of the term porn.

Doctor's "appointment" times. I love my GP but I had an appointment for 10.50 got seen at 11.35

I had a sick baby and everyone was giving me dirty looks because he was crying and the wait seemed never ending. He's sick, that's why I'm here - of course he's crying!

Annoys the life out of me. If I go into a small shop, I usually try and keep a ballpark total in my head of the cost of what I'm buying and have the money ready when I get to the counter. In a big shop I round up to the nearest estimated €20 and if it's handy, I'll give the bit of change to get a note back. Simple and quick.

In Spar the other day and some twenty something gets to the counter with a bottle of 7up. Yer man asks for the money. She then finds and goes through her wallet pulling out about 20 coins (I sh!t you not) one by one. Wanted to kick the b!tch. Same last week with some ould wan in a garage. It's always women. Always. Why?

I'll always move to the far side out of the way or to a closed checkout if I've to put stuff away. It's just considerate. She only had a box of hair dye and a washing up brush ffs. We had a full trolley and there were 4 people with full trollies behind us. It's when they look right at me and still dawdle that pushes me over the edge.

I don't advocate violence against women but in this case you are within your rights to give her a slap or two. No judge in the land would convict you.

People borrowing my pen. I purposely chew the top so that they wont ask again.

People talking to you when you are on the phone, or worse, making strange gestures and signs at you because you are on the phone.

People.

If they were getting annoyed over a sick baby crying then they should ask for zanax to go along with whatever else is on their prescriptions. Meanies.

For some reason today the waiting room was full of men in their fifties/sixties (maybe pre-Christmas prostrate checks?!). In general they are not a demographic who are sympathetic to crying babies ( in my experience, of course)

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

muzzling wouldn't do much for the noise. sedating the little ****s would be polite though

Alf Veedersane

Being sympathetic to a sick child and being driven demented by their crying aren't mutually exclusive.

More annoying in a busy waiting room is some chancer who's blagged a medical card and is in because they've sneezed twice in the last 24 hours.

To be fair, if you are waiting to be "probed" by the doc, you would not be in the best of form for kids:)

Which is why the clinic should stick to their appointments.

Tee hee - probed

Nah, crying babies are really annoying. I should know, I was listening to one all morning. It was the wait that annoyed me, if I'd been seen more on time I could have got out of there earlier and the baby probably would have been happier and nobody would have to listen to it (except me but that's my lot in life ) why tell me one time and then have me in the waiting room for 45 minutes?

salacious crumb

Christmas dinner in the canteen today. Fair enough if you want to eat dinner, but if you just wanted a f*cking sandwich and there's none on cos of aforementioned Christmas dinners and then had to go out somewhere to pay twice what you usually pay for a poxy sambo..... bah f*cking humbug.

My GP does do appointments, but you have to make it a week to 10 days in advance and therefore plan your sickness so you can get in to see him. Not only do you have to do that, but you have to make the appointment in person, don't be sending someone else in or don't be wasting your time phoning in, no siree, drag yourself out of your sick bed, and sit coughing and whatever else in the reception area..... baaahhhh humbug I say.

Nope, wouldnt last a day in customer services. I haaaaaate people I can actually count on (well 2) hands the amount of people whose company I actually seek out and enjoy and after that I couldnt care less if I never saw a person again. I do like some AH posters aswell but I guess that doesn't count.

On falling:

People who say 'I fell on the floor' when they were outside at the time. No you didn't, you fell on the GROUND.

Floor=inside, ground=outside.

I noticed of the UK cop shows, the police always shout "GET ON THE FLOOR" even when outside on "ground".....yep, trivially annoying
