Trivial things that annoy you Part 43

I'm not happy about the sudden change in weather from blue skies all week to completely cloud-covered today... but I'm happy for those who are glad of the bit of rain.

Brace yourself for an ATM nerd rant.

Those messages were designed by a marketing team that had to involve a little bit of a study on human behaviour and psychology. But then the tech guy that had to write it up in the branding decided to change it to suit what is actually happening on the machine.

Logically, the message does make sense, the transaction is finished when the card is finished being read, so the card can be removed while the money is being stacked in the dispenser. Thats why you get the "if you have not already done so" message because it is technically possible to remove the card earlier than that message.

Trivial thing that annoys me -> knowing so much irrelevant information on ATMs.

Never mind that, I want to hear more about your new neighbour, and the reaction to the return of the litter to the rightful dirtbag, I mean owner.

Drugged up neighbours staying up all night. I went to bed last night and put my ear plugs in, always do at weekends with our twat neighbours I have to. Anyways, they had some guy visiting and were getting a bit loud. I got up at 6am to go to the loo and they were still up. Then they headed out for a few hours and are back again. Could be a fcuking long weekend:mad:

When people misuse hyphens.

Use a hyphen where it is necessary to connect two words, because not using a hyphen would result in confusion.

I'm not usually a grammar nazi but it's one of the few pieces of grammar that genuinely lead to confusion if you get it wrong.

The people giving out about people not liking warm weather. Some idiotic comments include:

People are always complaining.
Yup, different people mostly. I dont give out about how people are never happy with their steak because I have the common sense to realise that it is different people. It is actually you people that tend to complain about the cold weather.

You dont know real heat, sure X is warmer.
Yes I know it is, I have lived in one of those countries before. You may have noticed if you have been there that there is a lot more air conditioning inside buildings. It's as if they find the heat can be uncomfortable. Plus this can be said for any weather. It is the joys of have a oceanic climate that we dont get extremes. Look what happens when theres a bit of snow here.

Shower of *****

My husband will be leaving for work at 6.30am most days next week and I bought an extremely loud paper shredder the other day. I think I'd be more comfortable shredding it on the other side of their bedroom wall, we'll all be having very early starts next week:D

Dubbed over ads, or ads where the audio isn't synced up correctly with the video. You know, where the lips are moving but the words are a second behind. Kinda like a bad vintriloquest.

Reporters. Watching the news there and a reporter was at a judge's front door to try to talk to him about falling asleep while evidence was being given during a trial. The judge kept saying that he is sorry that he can't comment on it yet. So the reporter asks him this magical question - 'Do you regret falling asleep?'

Seriously? Is that all you could think of? What answer other than 'yes' could he possibly give? 'Oh no I don't regret it at all. In fact I wish I didn't wake up. I was having a great nap'

The fact that 3 of the boys I live with went and got matching tattoos.

They got a camel.

This made me laugh, so true.

I hate to see microphones shoved in people's faces, after every and any kind of incident / accident. What do they expect people to say!

There's one on at the moment that seems to be on every station I put on. Some pregnancy test one with these two Stepford wife clones.:
Clone 1: I'm pregnant! About two weeks! (She looks as if she telling Clone 2 her life story)
Clone 2: I think I'm gonna cry! (She looks like she's actually laughing at Clone 1)
Me: I think I'm gonna hurl.

The dubbing is SO bad. Reminds me of Heidi back in the day (although I bloody loved that - too young to notice the shocking dubbing, I suppose.)

Other trivial thing: I did all the white washing and got it in just before it rained only to discover there's a white sock missing. Where do socks GO? It pisses me off.

Expense. I've got my dad's 60th and my brothers 40th birthdays on Wednesday, not cheap. I'm dreading having to cart the cakes back from Limerick on the bus on Wednesday. I could've gotten mediocre cakes made locally but I decided to get nice ones done in Limerick, beginning to regret that decision now

I completely forgot that I was staying in my brothers house over this weekend looking after my nephews. No chance to implement the plan yet.

It's also given me a chance to calm down over the incident and not be the guy that dumps rubbish in his garden. But, I will be the guy that suggests it to one of the more impressionable neighbours and let him carry it out if he chooses.

When you're stuck behind a driver who drives like they're following a funeral procession. The only consolation that there's a road you can turn off to take a short cut bypassing the next town. And then the slow driver cuts off for the same short cut and you're still stuck behind a phantom funeral. Oh please! :mad:

All those hours of looking after the single mothers kids in the area may finally pay off. I guess I'll do a few sit-ups tonight, when I get home tomorrow, get the kids out on the street, the others will surely follow. Then take off my top, crack open a bottle of diet cola, when the single mothers arrive, I will subtly suggest it to them while doing lots of pointing which accentuate my guns. :cool:

If it were only that easy, and if only I had guns.

Irresponsible pastry vending is what annoys me.

Mmmm look at all these lovely munchable cakes ... Nice and fresh and ..mmm Completely unwrapped /uncovered.

And theres a fly one one of them.

Oh and theres a dog turd outside.

Now i cant possibly eat the delicious pastry.
But why not put it on display to taunt me.

Do you have a plastic wrapped version... No you don't.
Fantastic.

Ah cool I've gotten to the end of reading this thread so now I can moan again.

Papers saying punters. Eg thirsty punters will consume x amount of Guinness over the weekend. Same goes for revellers. They're just c*nts on a night out, they're not revelling.

Simpletons that drink drive the entire time, from Kilkenny to portlaoise.
They've arrived back to the house, one tripped across the dog on the way in, then I heard "you can kick the dog it's ok she's mine", then someone must have actually kicked the dog because there was loud squeals. Now they're in the kitchen talking about dead phones, whipped men and how people in relationships is a sign a person doesn't like their own company.

And the smoke alarm outside my room is beeping because it needs a battery.

There's 8 dogs to take. One of my housemates got into my bed and tried it on with me. Refused all advances, told him to stop, he complimented me on my rack and got up and left.


Final straw. Knows I'm seeing someone, blatant disregard for personal space, privacy and my relationship

Thing is, if they don't say it, the interviewer will ask them if they've tried the Guinness? how many Irish connections have they got?

Watch any poor American actor who strays onto the late late.. It's all Ryan wants to talk about!

Are you living in the middle ages Lexie? The sooner you move in with the boyfriend the better! I'd sleep under a bridge before I'd share a house with that shower!

The final straw for me (if not before this) would've been the dog kicking, I actually feel rage at reading that. Call the ispca please.
