Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

Cheese Wagstaff

I'm in Limerick, and visited the capital for a few days. People in work saying to me the next day "Oh you went down to Dublin did you?"

No, I went UP to Dublin. Really annoying.

The railways designated the line used from Limerick to Dublin as the down line. Hence down to Dublin.

In dire need for a lemsip yesterday, popping into my local chemist getting charged E6.29 for the 5 pack of Max strength, shopping into Aldi today seeing the exact same on at the cash register for E3.99, shop local indeed..

The queue to tag off at the luas stop. Or should I say the non-queue, as people just bundle around it all waving their cards and gobshi.tes trying to push their card over yours before you've tagged off. It takes a full second to tag off. Silly bint tried to tag off as I was doing it this morning so I had to practically hold her off with the elbow of the same arm I was tagging off with until it was done. What an idiot. Then she tried to say something smart, at least she gaped a bit like a fish. I can't hear you I have headphones on ah la la laaaaaa!

People who moan on and on and on and on and on, then when I try to give them a solution that would end the moaning in 2 seconds, they interrupt to keep moaning. You'll get a slap in the bake if I ever meet ye!

This reminds me of people that don't take your advice the first time, then come back a second time with the same problem, so you give them the same advice again, and do they put it into practice this time? Do they fcuk, couple of weeks later, back with the same problem again, and then the classic -

"You're not listening to meeeee".

I've listened to them numerous times already, I usually record my meetings with people, I'm thinking perhaps I should just play them back to them instead of wasting my time going back over things again and again every couple of weeks!


Also, nobody wants to go to Taylor Swift with me, I said I'd pay for the tickets and all, but nooooo...

Got a text from my local garage to remind me I need to get a service. They spelled 'your' as "ur". Probably to keep within the 160 character limit, but still... :mad:

When you don't quite have a hangover but kind of do. You know the way it is - feel fine and then bam - wave of nausea. Feel fine again then feel a wave of seediness creeping up.... Grrr...



Salt and grease will either kill or cure me now.... Not sure what to do. Starve the hangover out or take a risk with a few sausages and bacon...

There's a lad I see in college who wears a gold watch on the cuff of his jumper. He has to make sure everyone sees his watch, you know?

Just like another lad who wears a sleeveless vest in the winter to show off his new tattoo.

ONW - fruit (for some reason pineapple and grapes in particular) is amazing for hangovers!


It's annoying how absolutely everything's making me feel sick lately. I eat, I'm sick, then I'm okay. Last night when the OH collected me from train, we went for food. I wasn't that hungry so I only had shredded chicken no chips or rice or anything. When we were about to leave I felt horrid nauseous, and then the waiter brought sweet and sour something to another table and I thought I was going to retch right there on the spot. I barely made it to the bathroom. I've never thought sweet and sour could smell so strong it was disgusting.

and what was even more annoying was some bitch came to use the toilet (there's only one in this Chinese) and she obviously knew I was in there because I had the tap running when I was sick so nobody would hear, and then she started rattling on the handle, and then as I was washing my hands and all, I could hear her clearing her throat with those "hurry up" coughs.

Ffs I wouldn't mind if I was ages in there I was literally only in there a few seconds before she arrived

I would have purposely delayed, touched up makeup etc. An ignoramus like that deserves to be left outside a toilet.

I was paranoid that if I spent too long in the bathroom shed think I pooped and I would have to walk out past her scarlet

Do you maybe have some food intolerance? These can develop even if you never had an intolerance before?

It's all about electrolytes! I think them, like coconut water, replace a lot of sodium and potassium, which is what your brain is starved of when you drink.

So get the coconut water down ye!

When companies (I think Velia might be one) put up signs saying they will "press for the highest possible penalty" for people who do x,y or z. It doesn't even make sense. This is a matter for the judge to decide.

When you want something in a particular size and you ask an assistant, "have you got this in size 12" - the glazed over "I will not help you" look they get around about where the bold text ends and then follow up with, "nah it's just what's out" - that's TA'ing.

Is that on the Luas?
I sometimes wonder, when someone doesn't have a ticket, what happens if they give a fake name and address?

(P.S. I have an annual ticket, I don't have to tag off )

Well nothing happened to me. Can't say the same for the lady who ratted me up to my previous LL for having a cat...she doesn't even recall travelling on the luas that day

I'm ashamed to admit I broke into a bit of a Christmas song this morning, but managed to catch myself before anyone heard me, I don't know what came over me!

I've administered plenty of Christmas begrudgery in the meantime to make sure it doesn't happen again

People telling me I should get those beard decoration things going for Christmas. Not happening.

Pffffft
Christmas jumpers. Ridiculous grownups trying to be kids again. We could have fed every starving child in the world for a week* with the amount of money we waste on christmas f.ucking jumpers.

Gowls on the wireless blathering on about donating cows to Africa. "Did you know that an African cow produces one gallon of milk, whereas an Irish cow produces 20??" That's right yes, a healthy Holstein Friesian in Tipperary, you know, the heart of the Golden Vale with the chalky soil and the rain and the turn-around-for-five-minutes-and-you've-got-two-feet-of-meadow. Gobsheens! :pac:

Pushy people, who have problems taking orders from someone younger than them. I have a girl here who is constantly trying to push sales and extra treatments on clients. I've told her not to do it. I don't want this salon to known as being pushy. Yet today, we had a client who had 3 things booked in for this morning, then she cancelled two things and kept one thing. Today, even though that lady wasn't in with her, she went over and asked her if she'd like to have the treatments that she cancelled.

Another lady was in about two weeks ago, had stuff done and this girl was trying to push products on her. The girl told her twice she was on a budget. Then she said to get her boyfriend to buy them for christmas. That lady hasn't been back since:

How many times do people need to be told?

Yeah, I was wondering about that. If you bring a well-bred, well fed, healthy young Irish cow, and you stick it on the edge of the Kalahari, I would be surprised if it lived, never mind continued to produce twenty times more milk that the African cow..

That idiot water protest group paying for members of a Detroit water protest group to fly to Ireland. What the actual fcuk is that about? There are homeless people on the streets of this country. There are people living in abject poverty and the absolute cnuts organising these protests in Dublin think it's a fcuking great idea to bring some random strangers to Ireland for a jolly. I didn't think I could have any less respect for them until they pulled that stunt. Pricks.:mad:

Or people who keep checking in to make sure you are still listening, constantly stopping to say "right?" in between every sentence and you have to give some form of verbal assurance. Ignoring them doesn't work. They will just panic and start saying, "hello? hello?! Can you hear me?!". F.uckers.

OldNotWIse

Protestors with masking tape on their mouths that say, "I can't breathe". Again, I support their cause, but it's the incorrectness that annoys me. They can breathe, unless they don't have noses.
