Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

castletownman

The fact that my Wexford accent both sticks out like a sore thumb and is indecipherable when in another county (south county Dublin in particular). Was passing time in Dundrum Town Centre earlier and when it dawned on me I could do with stockpiling some training gear if they were in stock I popped into the nearest sports goods shop. After not finding what I was looking for on the shelves the look of utter befuddlement and quite frankly unease on the face of the attractive young one behind the counter when I asked "do ye stock any ballbags by any chance?" After a couple more attempts at the same question, rephrased it to "a net for carrying balls in". Made me look like a feckin' culchie up for the afternoon.

I mean what did she think I meant, the durt burd?

Why do you shorten One Eyed Jack to ONJ? Should it not be OEJ? Always confuses me

Went to Mac because it's payday. Had about 100 to blow on lipsticks and lipliner. They're sold out of practically everything because they're waiting on a new collection. I got one thing. I am so disappointed

My eyelashes keep falling out. 3 or 4 come out at a time? What's up with that?! I hate the tickly eyeball feeling when they come out.

Our new neighbours moved in. I'm scared to introduce myself so they'll think I'm a c*nt. I didn't realise how bad the sound-proofing was till they moved in. We can hear them moving around so they'll hear everything we do. Poor them .

I'm really pissed off with the girl who's usually on reception. Girl knows my train leaves at X o clock. I HAVE to get that train because it's the last one to my station. If I am not on that train, I have to get train to another station 35 minutes drive away, so I have to get picked up and I don't get home until after 11pm.

I have explained this - SO MANY TIMES - my last appointment needs to finish 25 minutes before we are due to leave because I have to allow for a) someone being late, b) running over on time and c) I have to cash up.

So, this evening I have a quick look through my column for tomorrow. I notice, thirty minutes before close, she has booked in a 40 minute treatment with me. I ask her about this "the lady couldn't come any earlier, she might be a few minutes late". You're ****ing kidding me. I won't get home until 11pm tomorrow evening because people are ****ing morons.

It's no wonder people are telling me I look washed out and tired.

Rearrange the appointment and tell her to cop herself on.

Tell her to phone the woman and reschedule the appointment. If she can't do her job properly she needs to be replaced.

I don't know why I expect to be taken seriously. My puppy comes to the toilet with me. Id like to pee without an audience so I shout "OUT" at him using my angry voice. What does he do? He looks at me, then lays down at my feet and starts licking his balls. That's what he thinks of me and my requests.

She's black and silver! The most playful little thing ever, full of energy and boldness. She's also so clever, she knows how to break into our bedroom!!

We were never allowed to have male animals in the house because according to t'mammy, "Tom cats spray everywhere/female cats are naturally more affectionate/ Male animals (dogs or cats) hump everything in sight!"
*sigh* One of these purring away by my side as I sleep would be lovely. Look at his gorgeous green eyes! And the fluff! *makes sound like a deflating balloon*

I had a pack of beef jerky this morning. Not very annoying until I realised I had eaten that little sachet thing too.

Am I going to die now??!

Go for a name with an E sound at the end, for some reason cats seem to respond better to those names. 3 of our 4 have names with an E sound.

This always TA me but I thought it was mean to say. It's kind of like a mix of ONW and OEJ :P

Decided to pull a book off the shelf to read on the LUAS. Exams coming up, didn't want anything too taxing so I grabbed a compilation of short stories so that maxium committment time would be around 15 minutes each. Picked a random one in the middle of the book and started readong. It was good, but I had a sense that I was missing something. The story seemed a little....disjointed or something and I felt like I was being thrown in the deep end a little...no introduction, no setting, just...bang. No real ending either, it just kind of tapered off unspectacularly...

...Then I realised that I had in fact, not picked a compilation of short stories, but a novel, and had just read a random chapter in the middle. Now I don't know if I should start from the beginning or keep going... A sort of self-induced spoiler, you might say. TA'd

Set up another thread. Call it the TTTAY Waiting Room. It could be a place where people who have nothing to complain about (but don't want to skip merrily over to the happy thread) can go to discuss random crap while they're waiting for annoying stuff to happen!

TA : Was kept awake by cats doing it out on the street last night. The noises were awful! The first time I heard it, I was scared sh*tless. I had no idea what it was. I can hear a tom cat right now, calling loudly for his date from last night!

Sorry guys but chat threads are not allowed in AH and will be locked up. I know you may not have been serious Rosie but just in case anyone though it sounded like a good idea.
