Trivial things that annoy you part 479

whatismyname

People super analysing the realism (or lack of) of a tv programme where the storylines are generally made for dramatic effect not realism.

You can just tell that things wouldn't happen that way in real life, but that they're designed that way to create drama, and that if they did things the way things would happen in real life, there would only be a fraction of the drama and people would probably complain just as much about that.

Get where people are coming from really TAs me.

(not a personal dig, it's many people, and in relation to more than one tv programme.)

Had to explain to my mam last week that Emmerdale is not real. She kept going mad that a certain storyline wasn't realistic enough. "Yeah, I know, Mam, that's because it's not real!" She was having none of it.

Yep. It's like 'I know you know it's not real. I know it's grand to discuss the storylines, I like doing that too. But do you have to discuss it to the point that I start doubting whether you know that it's not real?'

Saying goodbye

My little sister is moving to Paris tomorrow for 4 months and I'm gonna miss her so much. I already said goodbye earlier and she cried and when I go to see her at 3am I'm gonna cry like a baby

Bought some hair colour today that promised to give me flowing locks like Cheryl Cole. Instead I now resemble a piebald pony.
I can't go to work looking this ridiculous so have to throw myself at the mercy of my hairdresser in the morning!

The ignorant a$shole in the petrol stattion this morning.
I was parked in the service area, topped up air on my tyres and into the shop to get some coolant for the engine.
I come out and there is a guy parked behind me so I cannot back out of my space.
Behind him is another car that has finished at the pump but cant drive out because this d*ck is blocking her in.
After about 8 minutes he appears and starts to put air in his tyres, the lady at the pump asks him to move first then look after what he needs to do. He responds angrily. At this point he hasn't seen me.
I step out of the car, see him 'gulp' because I am much bigger than him, ask him to move...he didn't repond angrily to me. He then moved the car.
So on top of being an ignorant pr*ck, he was quite the bully to the lady.

It's turning into one of those days. One of our cats is at the vets and will be having an anaesthetic, I got home and put the tv on and there's some message I don't understand saying my tv is incompatible with something else I don't understand and to disconnect a hmdc thing, whatever that is It'll have to wait for Mr Pumpkinseeds to deal with.

Picked up a Tesco free ad's magazine.

Turn to page 2 and see an ad for Goodfella's Chocolate Brownie Dessert Pizza.

It annoyed me that someone would actually think about eating such a thing.

My husband was telling me about them this morning, we both thought it sounds disgusting but it'll probably be really popular with kids and students. I don't really have a sweet tooth, I prefer savoury things like crisps but I tried one of those Cadbury Puddles bars and it was vile. I only ate about a third of it because it made my teeth hurt.

I know it's been said before, but ignorant fcukers waiting t be served in shops while
they are on their phones, especially those ear phoney things. You dont look important, you look
like a fcuking bad mannered tool. And it is always some pointless sh1t they are jabbering on about,
"Ok, half seven then, what ok, eight, yeah, sausages and cheese,ok then bye, bye, bye, bye bye"

Dipsticks!!

People who travel a lot.

"Can't wait to be back home with my besties"

This person said the exact same thing a week ago when they were back, the person had only been in London for a week. This person posts one of these every two weeks.

Mmhmm there's like a template to "fitting in".

It usually involves copy and paste. Examples..

"Looking fab girls"
"My besties xx"
"U ok hun"
"Well said " <--To any politician

People who do not decide what photos they want to print until they are in the chemist and spend 25 minutes flicking through them on their phone while you are waiting (im)patiently for your passport photos. Select them at home FFS.

Then you have the "Oh you lookin fab in dat dress hun" when clearly said person does not look remotely "fab". In fact they look crap, crammed in to a dress clearly several sizes too small and looking like an overstuffed sausage.

Getting a text "Call me its urgent"....and then calling to be asked some trivial question....

fussyonion

Cashiers in the supermarket noticing I've put two bottles of wine on the conveyor belt and saying "Oh you know you get 25% off if you buy six bottles?", to which I reply: "Yeah, I saw that."
Him: "So it's a good offer, isn't it? Better off buying four more."
Me: "No, it's grand, thanks."
Him: "Alright. Just makes sense to get the 25% off."
NO!
No it doesn't make sense to me.

I only want to spend €16 on the wine. I don't want to spend more. Granted, I would get more and save some money, but I have a budget and I only ever buy two anyway.
Don't badger me at the till!

Almost going ar*e over t*t on a spillage in same shop (curry; the stench was incredible), and nobody had deigned to put a WET sign out, so I nearly broke my body.

Don't make me come over there....:D I could Google it and then I could play around trying to sort it out but inevitably when I can't sort it out and Mr Pumpkinseeds asks me what I did I will have no idea what I did and will probably have buggered it up even more. It's come back on now, I turned it on and off a few times. It could be the Sky box or the tv, no idea which.

There is an apple pie pizza dessert too, they look kinda wrong, but I'd give it a go!

My annoyance today is that I picked up a pair of runners, and a pair of canvas summer shoes for the little one today , and they are too small. That's another trip into town now to exchange them. Though I'd say I'll be giving the runners back altogether, as she declared them "too stompy"??! I suppose that's what I get for not having her with me. I feckin hate going into the next town, and hate that our town doesn't have a proper shoe shop

Shoulda banned him from the service station:-D

TA eating popcorn and the salt finds it's way onto a cut on your finger.

Hitting your toe off a door, or hitting off a solid counter.

People finding and taking food you thought you'd successfully hidden.
Playing two or more video games back to back and confusing the controls between them.

Is it "Display does not support HDCP - Error" ? I've seen it before, if so.

There's a thread about it here:

Saw an ad on tv for that last night. I was convinced it was going to be some sort of piss-take right up until the point the ad finished and there was no evidence of it being a piss-take!

You were in the car on the way to Tesco

Not so trivial annoyances for today. We spent 137 euro on vet treatment for one of our cats today and I don't regret or begrudge a single cent of it. The issue with the tv seems to be a Sky problem that looks like we may have to switch scart leads, lose the HD but still pay the full amount monthly and to top if off, the fcuking kettle just packed up. What makes it worse is that I was going to buy a cheap kettle in Lidl the other day for 20 quid but they were sold out.:(:mad:

Just woken up after a horrible dream where my head was cut off by a jack-knifing car which also killed Rishi and Rakesh from Emmerdale.

In said dream, I became hysterical and looked down at my shoes which were filled with blood and my other half told me to fix myself up in the bathroom.

Now....can I go back asleep?

I know I am always complaining about the weather. But six degrees outside this morning. It is June in a couple of days.

It's due to hit early 20's by end of next week/start of week after!

There are people wearing scarfs and gloves waiting for the train still at this time of year. It's very cold, still need a blast of heating the odd night too.

Just checking now, real feel temperature is currently 2 degrees outside because of the 20kph north westerly wind blowing. 2 bleeding degrees and it's almost June.

Boom_Bap

My car and my lack of car knowledge.
The blower in my car was not heating up fast for the past couple of months. The car has felt a bit sluggish, and recently after stopping after a bit of a jaunt, the engine fan kept blowing and turning off the car. Then liquid started dripping from the bottom....not oil.
So I got the bright idea to slap in some coolant given that the fan was still going after stopping the engine.
Car is driving now like it has just drove off the showroom floor.

Need to learn more about cars.

I'm also not liking my constant hunger lately. Running alot, and started cycling to work again. It feels like when I'm not doing any of that, I'm eating. I've had breakfast about an hour ago, and I'm f*cking hungry already.

A person walking slowly in a supermarket isle with only themselves and a shopping basket, yet managing to take up the entire width of the isle, not allowing for the overtake...

bear in mind these shopping isles would comfortably fit 3 trollies going along side by side.. but 1 numpty and his basket: nothing is getting past.
