Trivial things that annoy you part 479

One of my cats died someone knocked him down and my bf only found him this evening. It's not trivial but I had no where else to write it. RIP Captain

Now I know the weather is fantastic for October, but I have to cut the feckin grass AGAIN.

Being in a single bed when I'm used to a double.

Sleeping problems generally, when I'm usually a great sleeper.

I'm half thinking I'm better off going back to bed already before this days even started. I'd a fight with the coffee tin because the lid was jammed on, wouldn't come off at all, only for I'd to wedge it off with a knife, and then I'd to plaster up my fingers before I could make myself a coffee as the knife kept slipping. If I find out the young lad superglued the tin for the giggles, I swear, it'd be something like he'd do :rolleyes:

I updated all our phones to the latest Windows Phone 10 last night, there's a couple of apps still aren't working right with it, so I'd to switch from my usual browser. I don't mind change and having to adapt to change most of the time, but sometimes - pain in the arse

Like the beta touch site, the Boards one that is, it's like twitter on acid, those love hearts sweets, the 'capsules' theme from MS Publisher '97. There's too many elements on the page ffs, crazy altogether, you'd need a 50" screen to accommodate what they're trying to display on 5"...

"But it's all colours and shìt!"


Oh, that reminds me, the irritating twat yesterday who came out with -

"Won't feel Christmas now"...

I am so sorry to hear about your cat Captain, it's always my worst nightmare with my cat so I can only imagine how you are feeling

Likewise. We only let ours out on shifts because I'm so paranoid about them being knocked down. We lost one before on the same road. Poor Captain Why do people have to drive so fast?

I was watching Ireland AM this morning when their Friday morning soccer guru Paddy Mulligan mentioned that Tim Sherwood, the Aston Villa manager, would be sacked soon because they're doing so badly.

"I don't rate him as a manager: good, bad or indifferent."

Eh, by your tone you obviously don't rate him as a good manager but you probably would rate him as an indifferent or, more likely, a bad manager.


(Yeah, that was a very trivial annoyance.)

My husband broke his leg playing basketball. Ok, I feel sorry for him and all that, but I have to bring him to work (started back today), bring the children to school, do my own full-time job and do the housework/cooking etc. I'm exhausted. And we have no money for a cleaner or a babysitter right now!

On the other hand, I'm ver happy that he was playing basketball because a few years ago, after a bad accident, it looked like he might never have been up on his feet again.

But still, poor me!

These protests regarding the re-homing of the Carrickmines fire survivors in an estate nearby. Now I know the negative stereotype associated with those from the Travelling Community. But how can could you be so callous in the aftermath of such a tragedy (all those children who lost their lives ffs.)

It just goes to show. You can bemoan the homelessness issue in the capital and take massive pity on all the migrants, and even let the social media sphere know that you care. Provided something similar doesn't happy on your own doorstep of course.

There's enough threads / discussion about that!

There's a small group of settled travellers in a community on the outskirts of Sallynoggin, close to Killiney, which has seen absolutely no problems or issues. They keep the surrounding area clean.

Really don't see why a similar community can't be built elsewhere.

I'm absolutely for it.

This is brilliant!!! I actually laughed out loud at this, also the fact that there are a number of people in my office that I could imagine actually doing this and talking to the printer to get it to work!!!

Fecking TA that I just typed out a lengthy post and then realised just before I posted it that I misread the thread title. So I was basically wasting my time.:(

That reminds me of when my husband and i went away for a few days when we were first together. We went on a bit of a mad one and spent all our money. On the last day, we missed breakfast at the b&b and we only had enough to pay for the train home.

I was starving sitting waiting on the train and managed to find about a euro at the end of my bag.

Skipped over to the vending machine to get a bar of chochlate and it got stuck

Sick of the constant tech problems with this site. I've tried all week to login and it's been impossible. Right now it takes about 5 minutes to thank a post and it only works with about a half dozen pages refreshes.:mad:

My cat and my OH are on a roll today.

One of them managed to sneeze on my head, and the other managed to dirty three items of clothing in ten minutes, guess who did what

Minutes ago I just posted yet another post in the Feedback forum on this very topic. I love this site for de-stressing and for a bit of fun, but these tech issues are making it a serious pain in the ass. Spare a thought to for the unpaid Mods, only God knows how they can do their jobs properly having to deal with the bullshít.

I lost count of how many times I tired to log back in yesterday evening without success. On most occasions the Boards.ie page wouldn't even load. And using different devices & browsers didn't make a damn difference. But when I did briefly manage to log in late last night, guess what? I couldn't see the post button, the quote button or the thanks button, hey but at least I could see the 'log out' button and that's the only function that was available to me.:(:mad:

Tell me about it , last night I briefly contemplated launching my desktop through the window Garryowen style. But then I didn't fancy a trip to Orthopaedics.

I've been having a big clear out this week, and dropped several bags of clothes and toys, old buggies etc. down to charity. Some of these are toys that have been hanging around at least 15yrs. Having another run at it today, and have come across cot sheets, blankets and a half dozen cute little baby sleeping bags. All ruthlessly bundled into a black sack, and now I'm not so sure:( Logically, I won't need them again, and I doubt/hope I won't be a nanny any time soon! I could put them up with all the other crap in the attic. Why is it so damn hard to decide whether or not to give away some stuff, even when it's clearly no longer needed and taking up space ? I can almost feel the menopause coming on with it all

Everytime I do a big clear out I get the same feeling about certain items, the annoying thing is they go back into storage for years again. Now my husband just takes the bags as I pack them and takes them straight to the Charity Shop. I get a sick feeling about giving some of the baby things away but when they are gone the feeling only lasts a while. So I understand how you feel.

I did a mud run earlier and it's very trivial but people complaining about getting dirty. Fffs that's why I went to it, to enjoy the dirt.

It was handing over the baby bath that really got to me! Even though it hadn't been used in well over 2 yrs, it was still in the bathroom gathering dust .

Well I gave away a lot of baby stuff to a family member and had to get it back about 12mths later.;) Read your post again and see where youve jinked yourself:D
When I do a clear I usually have the hallway full of black bags but then I go through them again and start taking stuff out or I get rid of them and want something thats been dumped within a few days..its a very traumatic experience trying to do a clear out tbh:(:pac:

Menas

I am a complete tyrant when it comes to clearing crap out. But the Mrs and son are hoarders so battles happen. And if I secretly get rid of something it always gets noticed. Mabe not today, maybe no tomorrow, but someday.
