Trivial things that annoy you part 479

Frozen pizza in Spar is €4.79 but for 2 it's only a fiver. Can't get the logic there.
Surely they're overcharging for the single pizza?

I recently discovered Steamers in the local cafe. You get a large glass of frothy steamed milk with a shot of flavouring (chai is my favorite, with chocolate being a close second). Its only €1. Add a shot of coffee and suddenly its €4.50. Surely the little bit of coffee in a latte cant cost that much? Sometimes I just think prices are arbitrary.

When you say something to somebody, and because they've a lack of personality and original thought, they try to he witty and respond with "first world problem"

Ie - "ah jaysus I'm after leaving my phone charger in work" and they respond "first world problem much!!'

Jog on.

Like the heated seats on the Aston Martin either warm or too hot, heard someone on the radio saying that some months ago, (must have been the cheap one, snort) now that's a first world problem, (or an A-hole)

Nice to know I'm not alone. I get awfully cranky in warm weather.

Are them big bum Kardashians ever out of the news, well the cr.p news anyway?

Cannot open a paper online but they are there.

But I should read the Guardian and the IT I suppose. Must try that soon.

But honestly, what have they done for us. They are not like the fekkin Romans.

My friend, I know your pain.

I have it sorted now thanks to another blog.

Bring water to boil. Put in pot, add pasta, bring to boil again AND WATCH IT FOR A FEW MINUTES PLEASE. When it comes to boil again, turn off heat, put lid on and leave for fifteen minutes. Sorted.

I just put the pasta in cold water, add salt and bring it up to a boil. Once the water is boiling just turn the heat down to a simmer and 10 minutes later the pasta is done.

Cyclists cycling two or three across on roads. If you're going to do that you had better be going at an acceptable car speed otherwise show some manners.

Cycling two abreast is perfectly legal, leave them alone. As for three abreast one should get in behind obviously.

It's a waste of time using bleach. Bleach has ammonia in it, which is also in the urine, so the dogs like the smell. Use hot water with a dish washer or washing powder tablet dissolved in it.

Though it would be better if the owners made sure it did not happen in the first place.

Thanks for that! I thought they would hate the smell and stay away. I don't know much about animals.

Does anyone else feel like 99% of all coverage of the Kardashians is people complaining about how much coverage the Kardashians get? If people are so sick of them why do hey have to bring them up constantly?

I was in a Tesco Metro in temple bar a while ago , went into buy grated cheese, 1 pack was €2.99 but it was 2 for €3!!! only needed 1 but made no sense not to get 2 as I was only paying 1cent for the second pack!!

The second verse would be about awkwardly fumbling in a bra cup trying to extract the key when I got home. It's difficult to do discreetly.;)

Waiting for my period to arrive. I know, TMI, but what the hell.

Was due them last week. Didn't arrive. So every day I had to anticipate it and wear a pad, which in this weather is horrible.

Bloody hate the anticipation, especially if I'm going to the gym and fear it happening as I'm working out.
And it never arrives when you're just at home doing nothing. Oh no, it's not considerate like that.

You'll be there, in your white jeans or in church or something (who am I kidding, I don't go to church) and HELLO! IM HERE!

There is a whole thread in the feedback forum about that. Its driving loads of us nuts.

When people don't put clothes pegs back on the line properly, making it really hard to push them along to make room for the washing as it goes up. Every single one of them was on ar$eways. At least there's great drying out .

Am feeling decidedly irritable and lazy today. Have the day off and was meant to go into town to get a few things but I cannot get up off my behind. Everyone is annoying me lately, except for my dog and the stray cat that comes to the window.

Multi-buys: prices are increased on multi-buy deals so that the saving is less than claimed. Asda increased the price of a Chicago Town Four Cheese Pizza two-pack from £1.50 to £2 last year and then offered a multi-buy deal at two for £3. A single pack went back to £1.50 when the “offer” ended.

They shouldn't be left on the line in the first place. Put them in the peg box! :mad:

Even worse is when, once in a blue moon, I ask my husband to hang out the clothes and he clamps the pegs on them, right in the middle, one peg per item, and leaves peg marks. And he never stretches them out, leaving them wrinkly and unevenly dried. It's easy: streth item, peg as near as possible to seams... it's not rocket science. (I reckon he does it badly so that I never ask him again.)

I was checking out some property online for my brother last night. And it was so obvious that some of the agents had tried to deceive the viewer. I know bad Photoshop when I see it and the attempts to make some rooms & houses appear bigger was beyond laughable. I fecking hate that kind of blatant deception.

Supermarkets, more specifically idiots in supermarkets. I was behind this 'wan at the checkout this afternoon. She was fiddling with her pram and kept reversing into my trolley, then she'd turn around each time and glare at me as though I were bumping her, honestly, I wasn't. That happened 3 or 4 times and I just ignored her. I even ignored her when all my shopping was getting shoved over to the side of the aisle after being scanned because she was fussing with putting her change away. I ignored her when she put not only her handbag on the counter to rifle through her purse, but also decided to pull out the baby bag she had for the toddler, pop that on the checkout, pull the shopping from other places she shopped out from under the pram and start trying to pack it even though her transaction was completely done.

The kicker came when she finally started to push the pram towards the door and I'd moved my trolley about an inch. The silly bint reversed back into me, catching the wheel of her pram under the trolley and proceeded to tell me how rude I was and that I could have given her 2 minutes to move on. I had a massive headache and the most polite I could be was to tell her that if she'd shut up already we'd both be finished. I so so so wanted to rip her a new arse.:mad:

What does it matter if they're different colours?! Maybe you should do it yourself so :pac:
