Trivial things that annoy you

Wise Old Elf

So called sports shops that sell very little sports equipment, but have every premier league jersey available.

People who make a point of letting you know they don't like whatever you have given them as a present, why, just why?!

Shìtty locks, or rather shìtty keys!

Damn key just snapped as I tried to turn it in the lock. Last time this happened it cost €120 for a new lock and call-out charge.

Bollocks! :mad:

You're walking along and bam, the person ahead just stops dead in front of you - like they've just had an aneurism or something

Typically a tourist, which I get. But increasingly its the 50+ y/o phone operators, who cease all other function while in text message check or reply mode, and become oblivious to all and sundry.

Spotted one the other day who didnt make it all the way across the road, and stopped in front of a parked car which was trying to pull out. After it became apparent that Bridey had sent a chronicle, they eventually had to beep at them

True, though not confined to any particular age group, IMO.
Similarly, why do people insist on standing in doorways, or at bottom of escalators, blocking the way, in order to chat.

Just for the sake of argument, what would you do if someone (your OH) got you an ironing board, would you say anything?:pac:

yup. Next time someone stops dead in front of you, snatch their phone. Guaranteed the unfinished text will say "you wont believe what that b1tch got me ....yeah yeah...another fuucking baylis and harding set. I just cant.."

I'd probably say 'oh I see you bought yourself an ironing board.'

I would add when people would start to list several items and get to a point where they say "bla-de-bla, bla-de-bla and ... yeah!"

Learn when to say 'and finally' when you get to your last point, please, peeps and.... errr... yeah!!

What's worse are the people who say 'ya/you know? repeatedly in a conversation, often at the end of each sentence:mad:

Shop assistants who ask "are you alright?"

Yes I am, thank you - are you?

fussyonion

People who repeat themselves.
A friend of mine will often say "Oh did I tell you about such and such?" and I'll say "Yeah, you told me last week" but she'll tell me again.
I absolutely hate it.

People who tap you on the arm when they're telling you an enthralling story.
"..and then she says," *tap on the arm*, etc.
Also people who hold your arm back whilst you're walking and chatting, forcing you to stop because they want your full attention.

People who tell me about their dreams.
"Wait til I tell you the maddest dream I had!..."
I don't care. No matter how mad it was, it wasn't real and it is of no interest to me.

I never said I did throw them on the ground. Likewise though, you see people throw wrappers and empty bottles on the ground a lot for the same reason (and for some reason people tend to get less up in arms over that stuff than cigarette butts). As much as people should do better, it's quite a large, understated failing of Dublin council.

Sorry, but it's not up to the council to provide bins every few metres, and more importantly, provide the staff to regularly empty the bins, and to provide the landfill space for gits who won't look after their own waste. Our whole waste policy is based around the 'polluter pays' principal. If you want to smoke, or drink from plastic bottles, or eat sweets, put your litter in your OWN bag till you get home.

As long as we make excuses for those who litter, littering will continue.

I'm not saying every few metres - I'm saying there should not big enough gaps to frequently walk 10-15 minutes in very busy areas without passing one, and that completely is the look out of Dublin City (or whichever relevant) council.

I'm not one for littering either, but these sometimes huge gaps hardly give a sense of apathy from the council itself, which is part of the problem. And a lot of people don't carry bags with them, typically.

I'm fuming.

Im friends with a cousin of mine I don't know in real life, on Facebook. She is my first cousins daughter. I always knew she was a few sandwiches short of a picnic, and she was dating this other girl who was pretty mental too.

My dad last feb was diagnosed with terminal cancer, this girls granduncle. In August both her and her girlfriend were messaging me on Facebook telling me my cousin had been diagnosed with cancer, in her lungs liver and spleen. She had been started on chemo, and radiation, and was receiving treatment. At that time I confided in my cousin about my dad and how ill he was, how I understood what she was going through, and how I would pray that she would be okay.

After an argument last week I asked her not to contact me anymore, she blamed everything on her mental issues and took no responsibility for her own actions and everyone else was the problem not her.

This morning she contacted me trying to guilt me into talking to her. It didn't work so she threatened suicide. I still didn't reply so I was called heartless and "a **** and a half". I was worried so I rang my cousin, her mother. Couldn't get through so I rang my other cousin, her aunt, as I was worried she had overdosed.

Long story trimmed down a bit,

Her aunt text me tonight to tell me she was okay, and I happened to mention About when my cousin was on chemo. Her aunt was like, what?! She wasn't.

Just checked my email there and I had an email from her mother assuring me my cousin didn't have cancer, never had cancer and never had chemo.

I'm raging that today she abused me for being a bad person, for turning my back on family, calling me the height of names and 15 days after my dad died, she's unloading her problems (relationship ones) that she brings on herself, off on me. I'm disgusted that she and her girlfriend played on my emotions when she knew my dad was dying from the same illness. She faked having it.


I feel like ripping her head off her shoulders and paying someone to **** down her throat I'm so mad

That's not trivial, that's plain ****ty and disgusting.

In argos looking through the book and the assistant asks me am i alright? I understand why they do it in maybe a clothes shop where they can help by getting your size or whatever but in argos?

Do they want us to tell them what we want so they can go through the book, fill out a slip and queue for us?
