Trivial things that annoy you part 479

I moved the kettle to a socket with a switch, and keep forgetting to flick the switch. I'm constantly assuming the kettle has boiled and throwing cold water into the cup.
I picked up what I thought was a blueberry muffin in the shop, as I didn't fancy chocolate. When I got home it was some kind of toffee affair with chocolate on the bottom. I really wanted a blueberry muffin . I would have made coffee, not tea, if I'd known it was a chocolatey toffeeish one.

Radio interviews when the first word of their answer to the opening question is 'so.......'

Any interview that begins with,

"Well basically..." "To be fair..." or "At the end of the day..." WHAT F**KING DAY???

Girl in work starts every sentence with 'so'.

It is so annoying.

Fúck-wits that stop a whole car's length before the lights...

Two main reasons... If some 'Fúck-wit' isn't paying attention and happens to crash into the back of them, their car won't jump forward too far to put crossing pedestrians at risk.
Also, if they were right at the junction, a shunt from behind could leave them in the path of traffic coming from the side, putting them in further danger.
It's an advanced driving move that's highly recommended. Only time it may be a problem is if the traffic light is sensor activated and the driver doesn't drive up to them.
I can think of far worse driving on our roads that could irk!

I'm listening to music on YouTube in work, no ad-blocker on our pc's and I'd say for about 75% of the time the same McDonalds ad is coming on inbetween songs!

She got thick about it, and then gave out that I should stop wasting my money on stupid things (I'm a gamer, I like to buy gaming stuff as well as obviously feed myself). As if the alcohol was a complete and utter necessity. I wasn't being "social" if I wasn't having an alcoholic drink.

Just reading that makes me realise, that I've reached a point in my life where if someone can't accept me and respect me for who am I am. Then they can fúck right off imo. Relationships should be based on mutual respect and acceptance, not ridicule or trying to force someone into being what they are not. Stand your ground, stay true to yourself and don't ever be something that your are not.

I'm always trying to grow my nails. I grew out of the nail-biting habit years ago so the only thing that shortens 'em is if they snap, and that happens quite a bit.

Anyway, they've been getting to a nice length lately and I'm happy.
Or I was til today..

I opened a cupboard to get something and saw a feckin fruit-fly go into the cupboard.

I tried swooshing him out (I say "him", but I didn't check for male appendages) and he remained in his place, hovering above the rice.
I took everything off the top shelf and EVENTUALLY he came out.
I closed the cupboard quickly and promptly broke three fingernails.

The arrogant swine then swiftly flew into the fruit bowl.

This latest trend of getting steak on a hot slate or whatever, and cooking it yourself really annoys me. I'm not going to pay good money for a steak, and then cook it myself, fcuk that !! If I'm eating out I want food cooked for me, that's the whole point.

I am going demented. I cannot get that Bruno Mars song out of my head... the one that's in the 123 ad.

I even went to utube to play the whole fekkin thing, thinking that would erase it from my head. No.

Help.

Uggghhhh I feel your pain. I've had that Eurovision entry by Niamh Kavanagh, In Your Eyes, in my head a couple of days now. Out of nowhere! It happened me before with Spandau Ballet's Gold. It was in my head for days. I found singing it aloud repeatedly, preferably on my own, kind of got it out of there a bit. I can listen to it fondly now without the horror.

When I message someone interesting on POF, I open with something nice and friendly.

Then she messages back and we get a good conversation going and 3-5 messages in, the conversation just dies and I being the one who sent the last message and I'm left hanging then.

Annoys me when there isn't a reply, like I didn't say anything to frighten the girl off!

When you fill out all the details to book a flight or a hotel online and when you get to the final button to click Confirm and............the webpage freezes and you have to fill out all the details again..........:mad:

Also a bit more trivial but I hate being in a toilet cubicle having some quiet reflection time and someone walks into the next cubicle, SLAMS the door closed and SLAMS the toilet seat down. Instantly makes me feel anxious and on edge.

Oh that's happened a plenty, I don't know which is worse getting no reply, or getting replies and the conversation drops out of nowhere, messaging some Jersey Shore wannabe perhaps.

I do the lotto online and I got an email from them this morning.

"Hi SFP

We have some exciting news!

Your ticket number xxxxxxxxx has won a prize! Please sign in to your account at www.lottery.ie, go to your account and take a look in your Gaming History to see what you've won."

I had everything planned out. Bags were packed, goodbye note on the kitchen counter, passport in my hand. Then I logged in.

..... €4! Trolling bastards.

Staying in someone else's house and waking up not knowing whether to get up or stay in bed.

Also, Wales is very wet. It's like Ireland. Doesn't feel like I'm on holiday

If you're not going anywhere, I strongly suggest having alcohol.
Seriously, it really helps a cold/flu.

Last Christmas Day I was in the height of it with a really bad chest infection/cold and felt so awful.
Obviously I couldn't get medication as it was Christmas Day, so I had a few glasses of wine, and I felt a lot better afterwards.

When I told my doc a few days later, he wasn't surprised to hear alcohol had helped.

I also had a few beers a few months ago when I had a stinking cold and I felt 80% better afterwards.
And no, I wasn't drunk on either occasion!

Try it and see...oh, and feel better soon

A few years ago there was a brazilian lad on daft advertising a bed share. In the ad he said he was not fussy if it was a woman or a man.

So we faked a profile of a gamely young lady and contacted him. Was great fun leading him on for a bit.
But he was very creepy!

The rental situation is absolutely appalling at the moment. I am incredibly shocked at the state of it. It has to be seen to be believed.

A fur ball would be better, I could dislodge it with a bit of malt paste:D, but this is a lung infection and I'm on to my second course of antibiotics to try to shift the damn thing.

Hayfever and/or sinus problems.

My head is absolutely blocked full today and if it were possible to lose weight through snot, I'd be anorexic by now. Or a skeleton.

Watching any track & field athletics events on BBC while there are British athletes competing!

I know they are biased, we are too, but damn they are just so cocky & smug sometimes, and it really annoys me.

And while we're on the subject, the term 'Team GB' oh how I despise it!! Not the athletes themselves, just the whole love in the U.K. nation had for 'Team GB' over that last few years!!

Just get a room already!!
