Trivial things that annoy you

Baseball.

Not the actual game itself, but the mad scramble by so called grown ups for the foul ball that comes near them.
I have seen them taking it out of the grasp of children. Its a fu@kin' ball not the elixir of eternal life.
Hot dog stuffing, warmongering, inbred sons of guns.

Not sure f it's been mentioned, but videos from smartphones and widescreens do not gel together well. Watching this tiny strip of video with huge empty spaces either side. Are these phones not capable of recording while being held on their side?

After the whole "giving up your seat" thread, I think "seemingly" will be the main one there

Chap could have a heart condition, or some other non-obvious thing that means he is quite entitled to his travel pass.

Missed this earlier but Jesus, absolutely! Photos also get the same skinny treatment! I mean, there are settings on the phone to avoid this sort of thing! :mad:


Actually, that reminds me, but it's more than trivial, it's just downright frustrating -

Technophobes! I mean people completely RESISTANT to learning how to utilise the technology they have to improve their productivity and efficiency.

The type of person that spends €500 on a phone and doesn't make full use of it's capabilities, the same people that'll throw money at the snazziest laptop or multi-function bells and whistles laser printer and then just use them to browse the internet or print off a few documents every so often, then tell you they've no money in their budget...

Frustrating, exasperating, absolutely drives me up the god damn wall when I try to get them to see they don't NEED any more technology, just LEARN to use what they have more efficiently and productively! :mad:

Application rejections.

Nothing worse than being told how useless you are. Repeatedly.

At least with the ones that don't bother responding, you can lie to yourself and believe they never got it in the first place.

2fm DJs are THE worst for that. It's so irritating.

George Hook does it too.

Anecdotally i know a girl who he told 'I'd love to eat chips out of your knickers arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...' But that is slightly off topic and not relevant here.

I can hear hear his voice in my head saying it. Gives me the cold sweats.

Hate it. A put on little act for when they are in public, I'm a lady don't you know :rolleyes:
Also hate those people who wont sneeze in public, they shut their mouth tightly and hold it in, [aaah...aah...aaaaaah...muffled snort]. Just sneeze ffs, you wont be arrested for it.

I know right! I'm always terrified when people suppress sneezes that I'm going to be hit by an eyeball travelling at 30 mph

Almost keeled over laughing at that, BUT, I will say in defence of sneeze suppressors -

There's not much worse than a sneezer's cack handed attempt at spray suppression when they hold their hand in front of their mouth, and it STILL goes everywhere (like a guy with a prince albert piercing going for a pìss!), including their mucous covered hands that they then look around for something to wipe them on!

How is holding back a sneeze worse than sneezing everywhere?

I get annoyed by the exact opposite of your description. When people turn what could be a small, held-back sneeze into a performance reminiscent of a very very short opera. HAAAAACCCHHHHOOoo blerugh chugh lap lap sniff. Especially on the train/bus, when all I can do is imagine lots of snot particles settling on me from the air.

I didn't say you should sneeze everywhere true or false, I hate that too, use a tissue.
Sneeze keepers really get my goat though, my friend will supress about 6 sneezes in the space of a minute with more difficulty each time.
The silly thing about her is she covers her nose and mouth with a tissue while she suppresses I want to tell her 'just ****ing sneeze for once, live a little'.

Wise Old Elf

News readers referring to "savita" as if they, or the whole country knew her personally.
A tragic case, with the added ignominy of all her medical details being announced to the nation, most cases like this would probably refer to Mr./ Ms. /Miss.
And yes I know it's a trivial thing in the context of what happened but....

People saying "still available" on adverts.ie when they want to know if something is still for sale; is a question mark so hard?

Shop assistants that say altogether when you have bought 1 item...

Me: "I will have a €4 quick pick please"
Shop assistant "that will be €4 altogether"
Me: "no **** sherlock"
