Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

Couriers. Firstly, get a simple Sat Nav people! Secondly, saying nobody was home so delivery was not possible just because we were outside and didn't hear you phoning the landline for directions is just not good enough. What do we do? Sit inside by the phone all day every day in case something may be coming via courier? What if we both were at work?

You're 65! I'd never have thought it by looking at you.

Smoke alarms that continue to beep continuously, even when the batteries have been changed. Nasty little elves that live in smoke alarms and wait until you're walking underneath so they can deliver an ear-piercing, head-exploding, extremely high pitched BEEP! The realisation that, if there ever is a fire, we're probably f***ed.

People who coin phrases like grexit, brexit, francogeddon.

Try opening it and taking a vacumn cleaner to it.

My TA with smoke alarms is that the batteries never run low during the day. They always decide to start beeping for low battery in the middle of the night. I go it up at 2am last month, climed on a chair and removed the battery. Just back in bed and Beeeeeeeep! It was the other smoke alarm at the other end of the hall that was low in battery. I could have screamed!!!!!

Just getting around to watching the boxset of Love/Hate ( I dont live in Ireland) it's a shame I know what happens seeing as everyone was blabbing about it non stop.

Thank you, I'll try that! It's the most horrible, frustrating noise. Those damn elves .

I'm a 70's child. I think everyone had them back in the days of single glazing and crappy heating, when you'd run to get under the covers when you got into your pajamas. I remember having the Candlewick bedspread too.:D

Johnny Lyons from 98FM and the overly enthusiastic way he says "...with thanks to Captain America's COOKHOUSE and bar, serving MOUTHWATERING hamburgers since 1974" ....I fcuking hate it tremendously.

Car insurance companies that promise No sh1t then wont quote for your car, then another one wont, because of the make, (NO it isn't a Honda Civic, bit old for that) Then go out to browse some "more common insurable ones" and notice the handbrake is on the passenger side of the centre console on a lot of them, WHY? what do they know that I don't??

Not too trivial, but icy footpaths. It annoys me that footpaths aren't gritted when the roads are gritted. I had to turn back half way through my walk as the paths here are treacherous.

I did so at 60, so you're 5 years late.

I think ours had fringed edges. They were pastel colours. Pink, blue and yellow are the ones I can remember, although I may have suppressed the memory of others.:D Ah, Jesus, now I've remembered the God awful orange fabric bed settee that was in the house.:eek:

I remember a mattress covered in a material that I believe was resurrected as the curtains in the 'Only fools and horses' flat...

I think we need to start a new thread, Bedclothes from the 1970's...

Those were wonderful.
I especially loved how they always snagged on a toenail, no matter how well manicured they were.
Or how you could have slept under one and then unknowingly have had a fitful sleep. Maybe rolled around a bit too much.
You would know you did this upon wakening when you gave yourself an electric shock off the first thing you touched.

Weren't the 70's brill?

So many pretty things on eBay and having no money until Wesneday.
Also: Being unable to properly spell Wenesday. Just call it Wensday and be done with it FFS!

fellas are looking at their boobs or legs.


If you don't want us to look then cover the feckin things up!!!


Well actually don't.....

One would hope that in this day and age women could wear whatever they like without being leered at. It's not the Middle East we're in, and surely to God ye've all seen a pair of legs and boobs before?

I'm annoyed at the amount of mistakes a certain radio programme are making today! Playing the wrong songs, forgetting to play the background music and having to start again and forgetting what to say half way through a sentence!!!

Although I'm probably just annoyed because I hate this show but my boyfriend insists on listening to it every morning

Gave my seat to an elderly person this morning, had to shame the guy in the priority seating to give his to the other elderly lady

Well said. After all, if you're not able to sneak an eyefull discreetly, without blowing cover, you don't deserve it.

You'd think that.... but you'd be wrong. I don't know why lads can't appreciate an attractive lady a little more conspicuously. Peripheral vision boys. In saying that, I had a friend before who used to lean out the window of his car while driving to stare down women on the footpath. I think he thought that intimidating them was the way to their hearth and by hearth I mean.....

People who support Celtic , and all their HH , bhoy, ghurl , you'll never walk alone sh*te. What is with putting h's in where they don't belong ? It wrecks me bulb! As if I didn't hate sport enough already!!

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

People (women, kids at that) going on talking about something as if their opinion is law. "Women look better with no makeup", "women only do that for men's benefit". I swear to God there's nothing more rage inducing

TA annoyed by people who don't like make up. I love make up, the packaging, the smell and the colours.

I know right? I have same features of a newborn baby goat without it

Lexie I wear make-up because it makes me feel more confident. I'm lucky that my skin is good apart from a little rosecea so I don't have to wear to cover scars or birthmarks.

It annoys me when people say you don't need to wear make up . It's none of your business.

That's my mush with nothing on it, and my work face. Could you imagine the fear in people's eyes approaching them au natural? Like I have good skin, don't get spots, but there's just something about it, I think maybe I look juvenile. Don't quote cause I'm going to remove link in a min
