Trivial things that annoy you part 479

Gamer Bhoy 89

Waking up to the smell of food. I have zero appetite when I wake up. I don't know what it is I just never feel hungry until an hour later or after a cup of tea, I always feel really icky in the stomach. But I hate waking up from the smell of a fry-up going on downstairs, it circulates the house from there and it distracts me from trying to go back over.

Then I get whoever's doing the cooking shouting up to the bedroom door as if they know I'm awake "David!!! Do you want a tattie scone?!".

Granted, potato scones are gorgeous with a cup of tea but that 5 minutes of waking up and feeling nauseous - a smell of crisp & dry and bacon creeping through the keyhole of my door when I've just woken up does not make me feel any better.

....I should probably contact my GP about that :pac:

It's starting to annoy me that Ive been following this thread for over a week now and still haven't figured out what "TA" means.

Irish Rail's booking system is my Trivial Annoyance today (and most days)

Rappers likes T.I. who release ten albums and they're mostly all sh-t.

That's what Marshall Tito, Saddam Hussein and Colonel Gadaffi said too, and they were right, so carry on with what you're doing...:cool:

Ah, but I don't harass my cats the way they did with their people. Instead of abuse, violence and bullying I use calming food, natural non habit forming happy pills and lots of play.:D

TA'd that RTE are showing an Irish language programme at prime time, it's about as much use and about as relevant to the majority of licence fee payers as the Angeles is.

Its always bugged me that Walkers Cheese & Onion are in a blue bag and their Salt & Vinegar are in a green bag.

Everyone knows blue is for S & V and green (usually) for C & O.

:mad:

Moving house in a week and a half and haven't started to pack. TA, that the next month is just going to be major headache. Sigh....

I'm TA'ed that someone would even consider buying inferior foreign crisps no matter what colour the bag is.

Which C&O are in a green bag though???

TA'd at people's seeming inability to wash themselves. Few things worse than the stench of BO from some people.

Did I sit next to you on the LUAS last night? It was a long day, my deodorant had given up the ghost ... annoying!

Heard an ad on the radio this morning for a 'silent disco'. In Whelans.

Really TA'ed that my onetime favourite pub would be having a silent disco.

Nope, it wasn't me.

I wouldn't consider this trivial, but it's the first time I've experienced it first hand.
I live in Edinburgh (love Aul Reekie), just popped out of the office there and noticed Princes St is taped off by a police, last few times this has happened there's been a jumper from the Scotts Monument and some poor old fella got hit by a bus.
Queuing in the shop I said I'd check twitter to see what happened as I'll need to head home that way later, turns out there's a potential jumper on the Scotts Monument and police are talking to him. The amount of folk standing around looking and waiting is quite frankly disgusting. Cameraphones at the ready too.

I've got the Sky News jingle for the Murnaghan show stuck in my head, but instead of hearing Murnaghan, Murnaghan I've got Spider Pig, Spider Pig, and it's driving me nuts.

hotcontents

people driving up my ass!! if you want to get that close to me you should have asked me for a lift ffs!

Menas

It is lashing rain out and in my own stupidity I brought a jumper to the office instead of a rain jacket.
Get ready for soggy bottom time.

When your on your way into your local Tesco/SuperValu, and you see 2/3 staff members outside behind the trolly shed/bay smoking cigarettes, and then when your inside the shop, getting your few bits, you see the same staff behind a counter handing out fresh meat/fish/anything!!

disgusting.

Put your left foot on the brake, that'll f*ck em,

(Disclaimer..,But if you want to try it first, don't do it on a motorway, it's bloody rapid scary braking, if not used to it.) but they do back off.

That my housemate cannot use the washing up gloves without getting dirt on the inside or getting them wet on the inside. I wear the gloves so that I don't get these things on my hands because I hate the feeling!!

Good to have you back! Now go forth and get more annoyed!

It really bugs me how often the cards in magic the gather write the word "the battlefield"


the cards did not always use the term
and I don't want the world I imagine through the cards to always be "the battlefield"

also the damn words are just taking up space on the cards and aren't even necessary

TA - feeding the cats and getting their pouch food on my hands. Disgusting!!!

At work yesterday, preparing a coffee for myself and noticed some spilled water on the counter.

Grabbed some paper towels and was tidying it up when a woman from Finance arrives and quips "Aha....she has you well trained" :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Fupp off....it's not the 1950's and even if it was it's still a stupid thing to say

My sinuses are so blocked that it feels like I'm underwater.

Just had a guy call the office to ask for our bank details so that he could make a payment.

I proceed to read out the requested information, and he stops me and tells me to hold on while he gets a pen.

This just happened to me yesterday. Some people have no filter and are just clueless. :mad:

Its Best to not dwell on it.

Or people who's 'apologies' are "I'm sorry if you were hurt by what I said"

That is not an apology!

I feel your pain: I've been bringing (read mostly wearing) my raincoat with me every I go all summer, and the Mayo Donegal AIQF was a lovely sunny evening so I decided for once I could do without it and...you can guess the rest...

My beefs:

- The squeezy thing on my shower gel is too slack and the stuff is coming out in great big globs

- The way Americans pronounce 'niche'

- All this Ashley Madison stuff clogging up the tech news. Who cares?

I thought our internet contract was up, as it was about time, and seemed to not be working at all. I just turned off the modem, and refused to buy add on data for my phone. Haven't been online at all in 2 or 3 days. I rang to renew the contract and it is a rolling one and hadn't been cut off at all FFS !! It was a strange few days offline, but I read a book. Felt like olden days

I'm a passenger in a lorry today. It's all dusty. I need to wash my hands!!! I realise that dirty hands are a major TA for me today!

What's a book?

Blister packs of painkillers that are so difficult to open that I have to use a knife to break into them after wrestling with the plastic side for five minutes, piercing the liquid capsule within and losing some of that precious pain relief as the medicine squirts out of the gelatine casing.

Child proof should not mean adult proof too!

Jeremy Kyle and the fact that he absolutely loves himself.

He throws in random words during sentences, i.e "So you went out with..bless her heart...with Lisa for 10 years...bear with me, I'm nearly 50, have 4 kids, old man here...and you've cheated on her...quiet now, I'm speaking, put that camera on me.."

On holidays, in the hotel, I saw a plaque on the wall with an arrow and the words Mickey Club. I was severely disappointed to discover it was the kids club.
