People unable to use Tesco self-service tills.

Place basket on shelf.

Start and scan first item.

Place item in "bagging" area, NEXT to bag.

Repeat with next item until all scanned.

Pay for items. Usually with a scrunched-up note that will only be accepted on the 15th try.

Pack bag with your items. Very slowly and methodically.

Huh? I dont get it!

Someone tore down all posters for an event I help out with. The absolute definition of trivially annoying because it doesn't actually matter, but now I have to bother to print more and then sellotape them up again

They should be putting things into the bag as they go along, instead of putting them beside the bag and then packing them after they're finished

Not a TA as such, but I thought I would share anyway.

I went to donate blood last week.,I have deep veins which are not really visible so it usually involves a bit of poking and prodding before said vein is located. I am lying on a trolley and the conversation went something like this.


Nurse 1. "Breda, can you take a look at this, I can't get a vein up"
Nurse 2."ah, that's because you are only using one finger, you need to use three fingers to get a good feel"
Nurse 1."ah yeah, I can feel it now it's throbbing away"

They could have gotten a pint of blood from my bitten lips.

"Can I get a like?" - no. F*ck off.

When terms & conditions for something have say, 5 terms and then number 6 is called "enjoy". Enjoyment is a term? If I don't enjoy it have I broken the contract? Also f*ck off.

We lost a cat in April, and all the missing signs have been taken down except one which is on the route I walk the dogs every evening. Seeing her faded little photo and her big imploring eyes staring at me, not knowing if she is still alive or if she is scared or suffering somewhere is, wait it's not trivially annoying it's sad

When people comment on my lunch in work. "Oh you're only having a salad, are you trying to lose weight?". "That's not all you're eating is it?". "Oh wow looks like you're indulging today!".

I don't know how people think it's okay to constantly make comments like that! I eat quite healthily with plenty of snacks in between meals whenever I'm hungry, so it's not like I'm starving myself. Should really start making "Oh wow, you must be hungry!" comments back....but, well...I'm not a c*nt.

This is a real bug bear of mine. Can't bring anything remotely aromatic in without a running commentary. The ones trying to lose weight are the worst. Comment on the food and then say, "oh I'd die for that now but I'm trying to be good!". :mad:

People that say TA is definitely one of mine.

Also back pain.

Signed up to do a bootcamp and had my first class yesterday. Going through the stations grand, bit sweaty but not tired and could keep going. Got to one that involved picking up weights - knees bent, lifting to waist, down again. Weight was fine - could manage it then at about the 2nd set on the 1st round, I felt the twinge that has now led to me lying down with a hot water bottle against my back.

Ho-hum.

The girl I work with had to give a blood sample to the company doctor a few months ago. She doesn't like needles so was a bit nervous, but what is the first thing the doctor says to her? "I absolutely HATE getting needles!". Great bedside manner there, doc!

Last week, the same girl had to go to hospital for an out-patient procedure. Before they did anything, they had to give her an injection. As they were preparing for this, the doctor and nurse (or whoever) were discussing a needle insertion that had gone wrong for one of them 20 minutes previously, where there was "blood everywhere".

She was thinking "Eh, I don't need to hear this!".

I wish I could give blood, but can't in Ireland, because I lived in the UK for more than a year consecutively from 1980 to 1996. That's a bit of an annoyance.

I seem to have a cold. It is not enough to knock me out and necessitate time off work, but it is bad enough to make any effort a trauma and be trivially annoying. Damned thing is taking its time too, won’t get worse, won’t get better.

I've never called in sick in the 8 years that I've been in my current job, but instead of feeling like I can call in sick if I have to because management will know I am not faking, it's actually had the opposite effect. I feel like I cant break my own personal record or something

I know the feeling. I felt the same way, even though the reason I was sick I'd been in a car crash, and not only was I covered in bruises and in shock but I completely smashed my car up!

In Some of the places I have worked, you get more thanks if you take every second Monday off due to some sort of "24 hour virus".

Better again if you do emergency cover over the weekend (ching ching) and then seem to be unlucky enough to only get sick on your normal days..its a joke tbh Its always the same few and yet theres nothing said in case they might get offended. I had 15 yrs unbroken until this year and I was gutted when I had to take the time off.....different folks ect.

On another note has anyone else got turned of kiwis and plums due to reading this thread?I cant face mine now because of Jacks bits..its an awful waste of good fruit;):D

Wham once sang "Club Tropicana, drinks are free..." The problem is that they probably are on an all-inclusive package. They are paying for all those drinks in their ticket price, pus the drinks are probably low grade. So a better lyric would be "Club Tropicana, drinks are all-inclusive..."

They also sang "Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away" Well, that would be fatal. So how are they singing about it?!?!?!?

Finally they sang "Wake me up before you go-go. Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo" To be honest their partners are clearly sado-masochists if they are being forced to hang on like a yo-yo. Rather than asking to be woken up they should be developing a strategy to call the Gards and arrange a rescue.

Non-logical song lyrics annoy me.

People awkwardly shoehorning the stand up routine they wrote in 1988 but were too scared to try in real life into the trivial annoyance thread annoy me.

My TA is that cold Menas mentioned. I think everyone has it. Miserable

My TA today is seeing disaster where there is none. I went down the slip to the sea today, the sea was right in and splashing up against the rails. There was an empty buggy, a pair of man's runners, and a pair of children's shoes on the low wall where people sit. I looked left and right and all I could see was sea. I thought I was going to vomit. I sat down for a minute, and visualised ringing the Garda station. To my right is a steep set of steps leading down to the beach, so I go over for a look. Down at the very bottom is a Dad and a little child playing, in the one spot of beach that the sea has yet to reach. The relief !!

Also I have a spot so big on my face that it's the only thing I can see from my right eye. So ugly looking!

People constantly referencing stuff, you would have had to been an adult to see, from the 70's and 80's. I never watched any of those sitcoms and then they launch into a huge explanation I am just about old enough to know what Fraiser and Seinfeld are and even then only because my parents watched them and its now on Netflix (Fraiser and Everybody Loves Raymond)

Radio newsreaders making a bunch of mistakes on air. Some of them not even logical seeming mistakes, which have no "flow" whatsoever, even though they're reading the damn thing. One mistake is grand, but a whole plethora together... headwrecking. Usually only seems to happen on small local stations though.

Uncharitable of me I know, but it really annoys me!

No I'm the same...there used to be one called Noel something, don't know if he's still about but he had terrible affected delivery and it irritated me so much I couldn't listen to him at all.

I have great difficulty listening to books off Librivox or podcasts where people read books or stories for the same reason. Especially the American one's, jfc

Those dodgy free movie sites that put up a video called something like "x (date) full movie)" and it's a 1hr 45 min long video of them saying "YouTube took down the video for copyright reasons, please visit the link below..,..fúck those guys.

The worst I saw was some asshat who put up episodes of Firefly he'd filmed by holding his phone in his hand and pointing it at his television, then put three ad breaks in each episode. I don't know how he got away with that one. A lot of the camerawork in Firefly is already hand-held, so it was actually nausea-inducing.

Oh yes, even the way he used to pronounce his own name, think it was Fogarty and he used to say something like Fergaty!

While on the subject of newsreaders, those that say good morning for the news at midnight. Midnight is not morning, especially when I haven't been to bed yet!

Ahhh that's the one! I think people don't really get that just because you can read and speak doesn't mean you're good at reading out loud - it's a particular skill. A lot of the Librivox recordings seem to be done by people who are using them as a kind of speech therapy, or amateur actors using them as a kind of practice. Which, fair play to them, but I don't really want to listen to that.

On a website with an album of pictures (say looking at rooms on hostelworld.com or similar), and the album opens in a new window in front of the old browser window.

You need to click on this < or this > to move from picture to picture. But, the album hasn't been laid out properly and the icons do not stay in the same place for the whole album, so after each picture, you need to search for the < or >, or you will unwittingly click outside the album and automatically close it.

There was a woman newsreader on 98FM the other day and for the whole report she kept making mistakes and stumbling over her words.
It REALLY annoyed me.

Fruity herbal teas that don't taste fruity unless you keep the teabag in and really squeeze the bejaysus out of it.

DareGod

When otherwise fantastic albums are ruined by two or three really sh_tty, terrible, bland songs, that there was absolutely no need to include on it.

Especially when the album has, like, fifteen or more songs on it. No album needs more than twelve songs!

When someone posts a video or podcast and says the point of interest is "About 20 minutes in". About 20 minutes?. How about saying the exact moment seeing as you took the time to embed the video!.
Is it an attempt to avoid being uncool by saying 21m36s in?

It largely depends on when that episode was uploaded. YouTube once only allowed people to upload a certain amount of minutes per video, up until recently.. Maybe 2 or 3 years?
