I have to admit that I love to read trashy magazines like 'Take a Break' and the stories always follow the same formula, 'we met and it was a whirlwind romance, we moved in together and two weeks later I'd fallen pregnant, we had our first child in June, then in July I'd fallen pregnant again....'. As if it is just something that happens to you without any involvement with anyone else, they must all be immaculate conceptions :pac:

I think that magazine is gas! One story was about "Margaret", 19 with three kids ona rare night out, meets Jim, 53 year old divorcee in the pub, talks for half an hour and then goes back to his place and rides him and is now up the duff. She says " I mean, I hardly know him"

Correction, you don't fcuking know him.

And you get fifty quid for telling the nation your lovely story:D

Went for a lovely walk with my boyfriend, the two dogs and one of the cats. We went through the fields where he cut the grass for hay.

I'm dying with hayfever nose, eyes, lungs it's all killing me!

I hate this too!
But regarding Take a Break, ever notice, in the story you're reading, it'll say something like:

"I left my home at Rosepark Drive, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire to meet him".
Why give us the fcuking address?!
Or the narrative will be something like:

"Fancy a cheese sandwich?" I smiled.
You smiled?!
How's that possible?
My Mam and I have great laughs acting out those, i.e

"Will you pass me the ketchup?" she chortled. "Sure" he guffawed.

When your neighbour wants to talk to you but after you've exchanged pleasantries, you've got that awkward silence where nobody knows how to end the chat.

It's why I hate chatting to my neigbours..don't get wrong, they're all lovely and I'm blessed to have them, but when we've chatted about the weather being glorious and how so-and-so down the road's having new windows put in, there's that awkward bit where we've nothing left to say, but we're both too polite to just say "Right, bye."

Blue-bottles are the worst.

And then when you enlist help and you're all ready to take out the little fecker. The little blue-winged fúcktard goes into stealth mode and can't be found.

Meanwhile we all wait in vain.....:mad:

Here in Wexford they refer to a pregnant woman having the child 'for' someone, when talking about the father (don't know if it's widespread but I never heard it in Dublin/Meath).

'Did you hear Jacinta is pregnant?'
'I didn't even know that she was going out with someone, who is it for?'

Always struck me as a bizarre turn of phrase, like she's doing him a favour or something.

where Im from - oh who is she doing a line with?

My neighbours house alarm went off 5 times last night. It kept waking me up. I really hope they'll have it looked at, it also went off a few times the previous night. Our houses are also very close together and from the outside it's hard to tell which house the noise is coming from.. so I'm also a bit annoyed that some neighbours might be annoyed with us about this.

When I need to take the underground then the train stops, and there is a queue of people in front of me, I see a free seat from outside the train but these people in front of me are soooo slow that the seat gets taken by someone else who got in using the door next to mine. Grrrrrr hurry up!!!!

I had a moment like that this morning alright, wasn't sure was it something that could be related to generally or specifically, which was damn TA in itself

Basically when you call someone in for a chat and before I even opened my mouth, they admitted something which was much worse than the thing I was going to chat to them about! :pac:

I couldn't say anything then as I felt so bad for them

Queue skippers! Was stood behind a guy last Saturday while he spent literally aaages filling in his lotto slip. I needed to use the pen otherwise I wouldn't have waited behind him. He only had the one slip as well. Christ he was slow.

Then he proceeds to walk to the head of the queue and skips about ten people waiting in line. It really annoys me when people skip and it equally annoys me when nobody complains to the person for skipping. I went straight up to him and said "excuse me the queue starts this way", and he took his place behind me. Its so bloody cheeky, like we are gonna say "oh off ya go there aren't ya lovely, sure we're all just lining up here for the craic!"

If there is one thing that will get me shouting and ranting in public it is queue skippers. I hate them!

Automatic air fresheners - the kind that gives a squirt every 5 minutes or so.
In the office, during the week, fine. But on Monday morning, when nobody's been in the bog for two days and there's absolutely no ventilation, the atmosphere is barely breathable.

Buying a car!

"Is it worth my driving for an hour to view it" I said
"Oh yes, it's a lovely car" he said
"9 out of ten, it is" he said
"Best example of this model/year in Ireland"'he said
"Genuine car, one owner, warranty" he said

I went and viewed it

"Shove it up yer hole" I said

This has its roots in various archaic reasoning to do with school building ventilation, the belief that the poor little waifs weren't able for a full year of school, the fact that in the old days half of them didn't turn up anyway, the requirements of farm-work, and last-but-not-least the emergence of a new and Teachery middle-class who increasingly wanted to ape their betters by spending the Summer big-game hunting in The Gambia. :pac:

I spent quite a bit of time staring at the letters 'TA' which kept cropping up in this thread, it's embarrassing how long it took me to realise that it was an abbreviation for 'Trivial Annoyances', which is a trivial annoyance in itself

di11on

When you're next in the queue in the supermarket with people behind you... you thought the person in front looked like trouble but the queue was shorter but it's all going well so far... nearly scanned all the items... and you see the checkout girl reaching for the phone...

Welcome to the club, do come in, there are many of us here.

Having long legs. They don't fit in small cars or under tables and they stick out too far from the chair I'm sitting on. I just can't seem to find a place for them where they are out of the way.

Sometimes I wish I was shorter but then other times I love being tall. I can't make up my mind.

I'll have your long legs ! I'd kill sometimes to be willowy and elegant. I hate sitting on chairs and my legs are swinging like a child. I do this thing where I try to compensate by bending my feet back the way , but it gives me cramps. I drive on top of the steering wheel and hope I'm never smothered with the airbag . It was handy last Halloween though, I had a witches hat on going out with the little one, and I got sweets too

One last annoyance for the day. I'm house sitting these past few weeks for my sister and her husband. I came home today to find his mother had let herself in and taken all my washing that I had on the radiators and hung them out to dry, like all my underwear and everything! Am I right to be a little annoyed by that?!

Pumpkinseeds

When your washing stinks of the neighbours bbq smoke. :mad:

The OH squeezes and squirts far too much cleaning products when cleaning up. Only a small bit is needed!
Best not to complain as she's the one cleaning!

Really annoys me. I call them on it too. I love the 'pretend you think everyone else is so stupid' effort whereby someone walks in, sees a long queue, and walks straight to the desk. Yes, the rest of us are just having a little stand here, don't you know.

I was in Marks and Spencers one evening, returning something, and there is a long couch to sit on, while waiting. It was very busy so everyone sat down. There is no mistaking that it is the queue though. People are still in a row, there is a rope alongside, and the whole lot. The only difference is people can sit, instead of standing.

But of course, someone arrived, attempted to walk straight to the desk, then belatedly asked 'is this the queue'. No, we are just sitting here gazing at the staff doing their jobs.

Pumpkinseeds

I was relieved when my GP finally employed a receptionist as until that point the queue jumpers had a nasty habit of loitering in the corridor and making a dash in to the doctor as soon as the previous patient came out of the room while everyone else sat in the waiting room. A couple of times I spotted it and greeted them with a loud 'I don't fcuking think so':mad: Sometimes you just have to publicly embarrass them and most people prefer to avoid a scene, so they get into the habit of jumping the queue.

Just noticed that lots of my plants in the garden have aphids and spittlebugs on them so frustrating! I lost a good few of them a few years ago thanks to a massive infestation, it nearly put me off gardening altogether. I hope I caught it early enough this time.

Spanish Eyes

When you cut the grass and it looks lovely, then a few days later it has feckin grown again. Full of daisies too. Hate that.

I get so narky when it grows so fast. As if I'm going to cut it every week.

Huge bloody garden too, so I am totally fekked.

I've been having the same conversation with the same person every damn day and it's really getting on my t1ts. "What did you do today? What are you doing tonight?" Are they tracking my movements or what?

I made a trap to catch fruit flies and the little f*ckers aren't taking the bait. They are the bane of my life right now. F*cking flying in my face, landing on food I'm preparing dancing on the dishes as I'm putting them on the draining board. And the spiders I've given free reign to aren't eating them!

This impatient b1tch stood right up my arse when I was picking bread in the shop, it took me 2 seconds but she still felt the need to tut and invade my personal space.

I've been trying to drink more water and I've been yo-yoing to and from the bathroom.

I broke ANOTHER glass and forgot to get more in the shop today.

I scalded my knee when I was carrying a pot of tea.

I haven't had the opportunity to rant on this much lately. Sorry - build-up .
