It was trivially annoying me lately how late the young fella is staying up during the Summer holidays so I have fast forwarded all the clocks in the house by one hour tonight.
Now trivially annoyed that Im feeling a bit guilty :O

There was a compulsory 40 hours of community involvement activities required.

Don't be. When my young ones were very small and on evenings when I just wanted a bit of time to myself I would fast forward the clock ahead a couple of hours to just before their bedtime. Worked like a charm every time.

I did tell them when they became adults during one of our conversations. The looks they gave me were priceless. LOL

Sometimes a mom needs to do what she needs to do, especially if she is a single mom.

The rest isn't needed. With the NUIG website you are better off just googling what you want instead of trying to search through that website. Dont get me started on the parts that chimps made and going down for maintenance everyday but still manages to go down around exam time.

I was actually looking at Galway Community College. They have a course I wanted more information about.

I really hate the way that so many parents say don't blame the parents because their kids turned out bad. Who the fcuk do I blame then? Me, society, who? They are you're fcking kids, you're the ones who are supposed to have raised them properly and taught them how to be decent human beings. But fcuk it, sure it's not your fault is it, just so long as nobody points the finger at you. :mad:

It's just the way that if you say something critical about the behaviour of a kid/teen other parents jump in and say don't blame the parents. It's as if they're afraid that if 1 parent is forced to take responsibility for their childrens behaviour, then they'll all be forced to take responsibility for their offspring. They don't know that it isn't the parents fault.

Sees the new thread "Not in Kansas now Toto"

Remembers the ad. Followed up by Saturday shopping event.

:mad: RAGE! :mad:

I was in a too much rush on Saturday to post my massive annoyance of that day! I needed to pop in to the shop to get a few last bits for a party I was going to (big bottle of Vodka and Worcestershire sauce, as you do). Went to my local little Tesco, grabbed the sauce and off to the counter, I thought I'll be out in the flash. There were two lads working at the tills, which is usually fine for a day like this. What nobody saw coming was an invasion of about 6 British girls with the most irritating accent combined with arrogance and no common sense whatsoever. The self entitlement was unbelievable. They all were buying the same bloody munchies. 2 of them at one counter, one in the middle standing and watching in everyone else's way, other 3 at another counter. Asking million questions, removing items, adding items. This was going on for about 10 minutes while the most annoying one of them (she was a total sour puss) was talking out loud "Will we get one more bottle? Maybe we should. Can we have a bag. Actually another bag. You know what we don't need the bottle after all. But we'll get chewing gums. Should we pay separately? Oh ok well I will pay. And another bag..." I actually felt like going over and slapping her. The queue that formed behind them was unbelievable.
Wherever you were going b1tches I hope you had to be stuck in a queue for an hour in the rain sinking in a smelly mud!!!!!!!!!

When you go for a hand shake, the other person goes for what you think is a high five, you re-adjust for hi-5, then the other person lands in with a fist bump and you end up shaking their fist.

Ever do a handshake with a lefty? I've ended up holding hands with work colleagues on more than one occasion. Eye contact was a bit awkward afterwards :pac:

Sorry guys. Ah they're not even that big a deal, just somebody keeps reregistering and starting the same threads all over the place. Keeping the mods busy.The last time I said I was annoyed about them my post disappeared. Sorry mods. hope I don't get into trouble for saying it.

Spotted these earlier in a LIDL catalog -


Bresser® Night Vision Device


It trivially annoys me the way I'll buy gadgets I have absolutely no use for all the time, just because they're cool (don't ask me how many sets of walkie talkies I have, it's embarrassing!), but at least I might get some use out of them night vision goggles!

When you plug in a printer and the printer repeatedly makes that hiccuping sound (whatever that is) for an indeterminate time afterwards.

Just when you think it stopped, it starts again.

Just think about how much attention you pay to individual runners outside. That's how much attention other people are paying to you. None.

Just enjoy your runs and forget about everyone else.

People on social media saying RIP to whoever's died in the celebrity world.

You didn't know them, I don't care if Mrs Doubtfire was your favourite movie...stop acting as if your Mum's died.

Yes someone has died. Yes it's sad. But we don't know the person, never did...why pretend you're ""heartbroken"" now?

Just for attention...

Not very trivial but I'm going to post in here instead of "offending" the "mourners" on Facebook.

A girl I was friends with a few years back killed herself. She was probably dead for the last 3 or so days but nobody cared enough to miss her until now. She was a bit unstable, got too much into drugs, and just seemed to be out of control. People, myself included, stopped hanging out with her the deeper she got into things.

My cousin stayed very close friends with her though and the girl would regularly call telling my cousin she was going to kill herself. The girls parents told my cousin at the time that she was beyond help, they were sick trying to help her and they were washing their hands of her. She had a boyfriend who she adored but he didnt want to be with her anymore, and she stopped going to work, lost her job, and just did drugs all the time. Everyone in our town would have known her, but nobody really had nice things to say about her.

My cousin hadnt heard from her for a few days, couldn't get in contact. She rang her ex boyfriend to see if he'd been talking to her, and nope. So, the boyfriend went around to check on her and found her.

Now almost every single status is a tribute to the girl, how lovely she was, how sad it is another young life taken, how she'll always be remembered, how she was such a beautiful girl, great friend. Bull. ****.

That girl had one real friend, nobody else gave a crap about her when she was alive. Nobody else missed her or didnt notice she wasnt around. She died lonely and completely alone with nobody there.

And now girls who used to fight with her in the local nightclub are there with their Facebook crocodile tears sending "tauts to her family". The same family who didnt even talk to her.

People suck

Honestly, nothing at all annoys me more than this kind of bullshít. When they can actually do something to help her they don't give a f*ck, and then when the inevitable happens they act as if they were supporting her through her tough time. :mad:

two years ago a guy in my class died from SADS.
At his funeral, is favourit song was played.
That night on FB someone shared the song with an emotional sentiment.
The next day in school, I heard this person say "Oh yeah, I got over 100 likes for sharing that!"
Never in my life was I as angry as I was at that moment.

All sorts of scum comes out of the woodwork to play the soul-crushed friend. Horrible.

When a celebrity dies, people mourn generally not the person on a personal level, but what the person represented to them.

To a lot of people, Robin Williams was a symbol of laughter and goodness, which is something he gave millions of people. He killed himself. It's natural people are feeling affected. Do you think everyone's just pretending to feel affected? That millions of people are all just looking for attention by acknowledging his death, is that honestly what you believe? I don't know how much attention anyone's going to get when millions of others are doing the same thing.

People on buses taking off their shoes and sticking their feet out around the seat in front of them. Seriously? When did that become a thing? I've seen it loads in the past year.

I run and I can kinda run fairly far at this stage. It's never pretty with me :pac: the minute I step out the door I'm red and sweaty! Even when I was the fittest of fit kids, I was red and sweaty. (I am no longer the fittest of for anything and probably never will be).

I used to wear long tops over my running pants, to cover my bum, but they don't do the good running tops with the proper material in any kind of length that covers me up so I showed my arse to the world!

As someone else said, think about how much you notice someone else running, and that's how much you're noticed! If I do have my attention drawn, it's usually because I like their top or early in the mornings I might share a breathless "morning" with someone running the other way. Never ever would I be thinking "Ohmigod the hack of her", and I honestly don't think anyone else either. I've never even had hassle or comment from any of those street corner teens

Yes, exactly. I am of that particular vintage who as a small boy tweaked my ears and said "Nanu-Nanu". That small, stupid thing was quite joyful. That gentle, hilarious lunatic gave me that, and the idea that the poor man was in such a dark place that he felt the need to do away with himself saddens me.

1 of my next door neighbours has a really heavy back gate that they seem incapable of closing. On a really windy night the bloody thing slams repeatedly like a barn door. They sleep at the front of the house and are usually well on the booze so they don't hear it. I've often had to get up, put my coat on and go out our back gate in the piddling rain to close their gate so I can get some sleep. :mad:
