Trivial things that annoy you part 479

I was at a children's hospital today, and as usual there's a sign up saying the car park is full. The hassle then trying to find parking nearby. On leaving the clampers were out, with a Garda presumably overseeing, about to clamp two cars. All I could think was I hope to God they are not cars belonging to parents, who had to park there in desperation since the car park was full. That's all you'd need on top of having a sick child

That is an absolute pain in the ar$e for Temple Street. The clampers are just lurking there.
My daughter was in there for a operation last year so there was lots of in and outs and physio follow ups.
The main annoyance about the parking situation there is that they have a deal with a nearby carpark where the hospital validates your parking ticket when you leave and you get a discounted rate. They barely advertise it.

Flickering lights.

"I haven't seen the movie but it's shiite"

"I haven't heard the tune but it's shiite"

Nope, you haven't done any of the above so you don't have an opinion!

Bugs me when people can't simply say that they don't have enough information to make a statement one way or the other. They have to have some kind of input. :mad:

Had to replace 2 bulbs in the space of 5 minutes here over weekend,

Why do they always blow when it is dark.

The Mace 2 litre milk cartons. The plastic they're made of is inferior to the Avonmore version. They burst in the fridge the whole time, leaving a puddle of milk. I'm sick of it

I live in student accomodation and the lights are tricky to change, usually the maintenance man's responsibility. My annoyance is I don't speak the language here yet and my native housemate refuses to ask the maintenance man to come change our kitchen light bulb. We don't even have a window in the kitchen. If the stand off continues, I will have to ask with the aid of googl translate

Concert Videos: I'm TA at directors who keep cutting away from the band, to random people in the audience bopping away. As if we need reminding that there is an audience?

In my experience, the "gold standard" concert film is Stop Making Sense by the Talking Heads. It has a great director (Jonathan Demme, who went to on to direct Silence of the Lambs) and an innovative set design: from one guy with a guitar and a boombox, the stage, set and the band are built up as the concert progresses. The audience is heard a bit, but not shown at all until the encore. The result is more than a "concert film": it's a work of art.

Im going to watch that.SOTL is one of my favourite films,frightens the s*ite out of me everytime I watch it and I used to love Talking Heads years ago..I will report back.:pac:

I thought I saw an ad for 100 ways to Kill my Mammy:o and it was meant to be on tonight but I cant find it and cant remember the channel.

I got that Sky on Demand thing months ago and its still in the box because Im too lazy (and hate techy thingys) to connect it up.

Booked an appointment with the dentist. This must be what going to confession feels like.

Bless me doctor for I have sinned, it has been X years since my last visit. Mmhm, Ive been brushing 3 times a day. (will probably sound a bit more garbled as I have a mans hand in my mouth)

My dentist is a woman Randy, comes highly recommended, does a mean job of keeping my choppers in top condition too, so good in fact that I've had to break a tooth twice this year alone! :pac:

Something blew in the old television in my room last week. Had to sleep in a different room that night, the smell of melted plastic was toxic. Following morning I wake up and bathroom light goes. About two weeks ago the light above the cooker blew. I don't frighten easy but there was plenty of expletives when that happened. There's a lot of bulbs blowing around me lately.

Dentists are lovely but I hate them.

If people were honest about it they would hate them too.

Who wants anyone poking around in your gob (while you are lying down) and giving out about the state of your choppers every opportunity. Has to be a law agin that.

Because you only turn them on when it's dark.

Tangled earphones....

How can they get so tangled when they've been in my pocket for less than 2 minutes?

Wearing them with work ID Lanyards is a pain in the hole as well, most days I've to untangle the two of them.

On hearing the brilliant news of a surprise pregnancy ( not under this roof thank God ) I was so distracted doing dinner that I put a lamb chop on my plate and ate it. I hate lamb, haven't touched it in years...

Trying to convince myself to exercise is so damn hard sometimes.

Taking what I consider to be sub-standard painkillers (solpadeine) because you don't have proper painkillers (nurofen+) to hand, and then when you have an opportunity to buy nurofen+, not being able to because you've already used up your allowed dose of codeine on the sub standard ones What a waste.

Did the chemist give you the third degree? They usually me feel like I am trying score crystal meth or heroin.

Rocket. I hate the stuff, but these days it's impossible to get a salad without it, and it's also in sambos sometimes. Totally ruins the taste!

They always do. F*cking maddening. Even more annoying are the questions when you purchase a box of feminax alongside a box of tampons - what could they possibly be for? Or are the tampons a smokescreen? And would I be f*cking bothered?

Meanwhile outside is like something from Night of the Living Dead as the junkies who made off without consuming their methadone in front of the pharmacist attempt to trade it for blue-ies and fags.

People driving either without fog lights on when it is foggy or even better no lights on. Seriously do they not understand this is dangerous.

My Trivial Annoyance, the little f**ker who crashed into me this morning while I was waiting at the bus stop and he was cycling on the footpath. Whacked my elbow, knocked my handbag off and kept going, no wait, turned around to laugh at me and then kept going.

so now i have a big bruised sore elbow and i hate cyclists even more!!!

rainbow kirby

^ Nobody over the age of 10 should be allowed to cycle on the footpath. Ever. No good can come of it.

TA'd that I ate way too much at lunchtime and am now sleepy for the afternoon :pac:

This morning, I was watching the telly in the dark when I had to get up for something. As I started to walk, my bare left foot stubbed something in the dark, making me automatically step back...the full weight of my heel landing on my other foot, causing loads of blood flow from my big toe. (There has been a dodgy nail situation...).

I rang the doctors office once to make an appointment as I was unwell.
The receptionist asked me the following - 'Are you sick?'
No, I'm just ringing to sicken you with news of my outrageously good health.

There's nothing worse that that, when you just can't motivate yourself. You end up skipping a couple of days and then when you get back into the zone, you feel really guilty about those sessions you missed.

Got my shopping done on the way home. Had a lovely dinner and obligatory coffee and was about to start work when the batteries in my keyboard went. So I had to go all the way back to the shop again. I don't know what people in the Stix do. So sweepy now

Agreeing to provide a reference for a former part-time staff member from a few years back, and then getting a reference request from their potential future employer with about fifty million questions... Why so many.....??? go away.

There might be a bit of OCD involved here, but it really anoys me that the 50 cent coin is bigger than the €1 coin. Like seriously. . Why would someone think that it be a good idea?

The 5 and 10 cent coins doesn't really bother me because that just gets thrown into a cup but every time I take change out of my pocket and go to stack it on the side board, I say dam you Merkel.

All depends on the extent of the impact it has on your life really, but tbh I'd say if it's just a case of it really annoying you, then probably not ' a bit of OCD', or any other mental health condition really

Remember when we had the Punt, and the 50p coin was like an Heptagon or something. All the others coins were round but the 50p was the only one that stood out because it was a different shape

Not OCD at all Charlie, but it's kinda useful for people with visual impairments

Getting my days mixed up, going in to watch a programme and catch-up and realising I'm already up to date with it.

Idiots that go walking in the pitch black around a blind turn, with no pavement, in dark clothes and no reflective jackets or lights.

Do you want to get knocked down? I was cycling home from somewhere one day and almost cycled into one of them.

Looking back over old facebook photos where I don't belong, to the point that I'm practically torturing myself.

Me: "hello, can a book an appointment to see the doctor please"

Receptionist: "No problem, we are quite busy though so it will be the week after next. Next available appointment is Tuesday the 17th... Do you want morning or afternoon?"

Me: "Neither thanks... I'll be better or dead by then."
