And the same neighbors bombing in and out of our culdesac in their astras etc. through the small hours of the late night - early morning. Fly by nights.

Moronic next door neighbours slamming doors at all hours when others are trying to sleep, as is the case at the moment. In fact, noisy neighbours in general piss anyone off.

Is your next door neighbour the actual double of mine? They never learned how to actually close a door.

I wouldn't be surprised if they know one another. Even visitors there don't know how to park, or just don't give a sh1te. Maybe it's the latter moreso. The neighbours really don't care, so I wouldn't expect anyone else they know to care either.

Attitudes. Judgemental attitudes in my own house. People slamming doors when they know there is an easily waked child asleep.

That newspaper ad with the "before you make up your mind, open it" - one of the best lines ever but now they've gone and ruined it by re-recording the line with an unnecessary intonation on the "your", so that now it's, "before you make up YOUR mind, open it" - Why did they do that? I think we all get the meaning. Open your mind/open the paper - why the sudden emphasis on YOUR? I hate that ad now...

edit: TA that I am unsure if "intonation" is the appropriate word to use in this context, or if it shoud just be "emphasis"

And also TA'd by that f*cking hour. Why do we still do this? Some rubbish about kids walking to school? Some clocks have automatically changed. Some haven't. Is it 09:34 or 08:34? Am I coming or going? I'm confused and tired. I've been evicted from my own life. F*cking hour.....

Something that has begun to annoy me, ironically, is the abbreviation that is being used in this thread.. "TA"

When did this start

Its a thread about stuff that is trivial, but annoying so we'll assume that's what you are posting about. TA is not only annoying but superfluous!?

TA is easier to type than "Trivially annoying"

In my opinion, it has become a requirement of late to ensure your post is not mistaken for chat. A sort of disclaimer, one might say. "There follows a TA"

Probably because part of peoples posts were responses to other peoples TAs, and in order to 'keep with the thread' and avoid the wrath of a mod, they include their own TA but mark it as such within their post.

TA - The weekend went too quick damnit


Edit - Another TA - I just realised I pretty much said what ONW has already said.
I was sure I read all posts after, but obviously not !

We are (Mrs E and I) not early risers. Even on work days, she gets up about 8.30, and I get about nine. She was off today and we had a couple of wines last night, and i had to get up first, from a lovely cosy bed...

Something that's 'trivially annoying' is clearly an altogether different thing to a trivial thing that annoys you. The former points to something you may find a touch irksome, the latter to something trifling & inconsequential, but with an ability to cause anything from mild irritation to a Clarkson-esque meltdown.

The 'TA' thing kinda garbles that distinction.

(So that's what it means!! And there I was thinking of trawling boards to find out.)

When you are in a hurry and every second counts and someone getting off a bus asks the driver for directions and he goes out of his way to be very helpful.

Indeed. In fact I suspect the effort of sorting my annoyances into the former and the latter categories might just come between me and my sleep tonight. Now that is TA/TA!

Related to the kn*bends who fish for coins in their purse and place them SINGLY into the coin thingy! And look at the driver in between each coin as if waiting for a pat on the back. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!

No matter where one sits on the luas, there is an annoyance. In one of the "family area" quads - there'll be someone in front of you without a book or an inclination to look out the window therefore staring at you the entire time. On the inside of a two seater....some fat f*cker will phlump down beside you and play "lets play rub thighs". On the outside of a two seater, you;re at the mercy of other people's elbows and bags as the tram fills up and you get the head taken off you (and also a constant stream of people pushing past to walk down the aisle for God only knows what since there are no seats anywhere anyway). On the little single seats beside the window you will invariably end up sitting in front of someone with a cold who is either back hacking and swallowing phlegm the entire journey or sniffing half heartedly into a tissue instead of having the balls to give it a good blow and be done with it. Even if you're lucky enough not to sit before someone like this, the wind coming down from the vent will freeze you half to death anyway.

When you ask someone a question, and they reply by explaining the basic concepts that you already understand, AND they use the word 'so' at the beginning of every sentence

- If this is categorised as C, why isn't [name] responsible for it?
-SO the three options are A , B, and C; A refers to ...
-I know this, I just want to know why ...
-So just let me explain. A refers to ...
-Listen luv I know that A refers to [that], B is [that] and C is [that], so why isn't [name] doing C?
-So A means ...
-ARGHHHH FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU ....

There's something wrong with our washing machine. It started making scary noises when draining last night so Mr Pumpkinseeds took the tiny bit of stuff out of the filter and we thought it'd be fine. I put a short wash on afterwards, just to check it was OK, and low and behold it's still buggered. There must be something blocking the drainage. Now we're gonna have to pay someone to come fix it. There's always some fricking unforseen expense to fork out for.:mad::(

When you ask someone something, they say what?, so you start to ask again but they're already answering before you say it.


if you heard what I said why did you ask what?

' do you have a clubcard.?'
"What?"
'D'
"Oh yes I......."

Aaagh

whatismyname

When I say something and the person clearly doesn't understand what I said so basically just ignores the fact that I've said something.

Annoys me less though when they end up disadvantaged by ignoring.

E.g. in a taxi where the fare is £5.10, and I say you can take £5.50 or £6 or whatever, and they just smile and nod, and then just give me change for £5.10.

annoys me in the sense of 'if you don't understand what I said, why not just say so?' but also in that example definitely a case of 'your loss, mate'.

When you start watching a really crap tv show and you can't stop watching it!

When someone has their trolley parked right in front of where you want to pick something up in the supermarket and they're reading the information on a product for ages (are they making anagrams with the words or what) and you have to lurk nearby, looking around and they keep looking at you like you're a weirdo and you just want them to MOVE.

Noisy downstairs neighbours who seem to just run around constantly, making the floor shake non stop, making the signal on the chromecast cut out.

The weather - come back sun! You've over-stayed your welcome cold and rain.

When I accidentally follow someone I don't wanna be following on twitter.

seems when reading their tweets on a conversation they were having with someone I follow, I must have clicked 'follow'. First I knew of it was when they followed me back and I'm like 'urgh, no, no, go away'. In my head just though, of course.

People (you don't know/ not familiar enough) who ring the door bell or knock and when they don't get an answer, proceed to try turn the handle to open your front door!

Weirdos

Added to that, people who call without notice. Drives me mental. You're just expected to drop what you're doing and put the kettle on. You might look like shít, have an assignment to finish, dogs to walk and clothes to wash and then some happy feckin neighbour decides to just "drop in" My mam thinks it's weird I get annoyed over this. She likes the old style dropping in for a cuppa and loves to sit down and have a chat with people. I'm of the opinion that there is too much of a premium on time for idle chit chat unless it is pre arranged Often find myself hiding behind the curtains waiting for the caller to leave again

Knockeddy knock knock at door, Mrs E goes and answers, leaving stiiting room door ajar ..

Mrs E "Ah Mary. come in"
Mary "Ah I wont, I only came to check/ask/borrow blah blah"
Mrs E "But sure come in.."
Mary "No I will only be a minute.."

Fifteen mins later, I am fcuken freezing, dogs are jumping all over the couch and Mary is still at the door:D

Damn private numbers, and me accidentally answering the phone to someone I was avoiding... and needing to think on my feet as a result... argh.

You're 'busy' in bed and someone knocks at the front door, you have to answer it since you're waiting on a parcel to be delivered. The caller turns out to be a Jehovas witness. FFS, I got out of bed for that:mad:

I would not really rate her on the acting front.

However, my TA is she a line of footwear out,the "Amy Huberman Collection"

it's quite trivially annoying that none of you can go down and get that thing in town for me...

I wouldn't rate her either and that's why I said she has a 'bit of talent'!! It's those in the media spotlight who have no talent whatsoever that trivially annoy the hell out of me!
