Trivial things that annoy you part 8191.1

I hate whenever there are adverts for an upcoming live concert, on the radio. They always play the artist's recorded music with a bit of echo to make it sound like it's a live recording. Come on now Ted. You ain't fooling me with that nonsense

Wooden "briquettes" surely they have to burn to be described as briquettes? My fire has gone out 3 times and I'm only home since 7...

My mother robbed my chocolate that I was saving for later. You don't do that to a PMSing woman!- it's asking for trouble.
I tried to play it down (it's only a bleedin' bar of Dairy Milk Crunchy FFS!) but inside, I'm torn between wanting to cry and wanting to yell at her. The worst thing is: she had her own stash of chocolates/candies that she shares with my stepdad in the mini fridge in the living room so she had absolutely no reason to raid my stash. The cheek of her! :mad:

Boards is taking ages to post replies. You hit the submit button and it takes a few seconds to go back to the thread. By which time someone can have thanked the post.

That makes it seem like people are thanking the post before I've even posted it. And it's FREAKING me out!

Pixels - what a Godawful load of b0llocks. Worst film I've seen in a while. I wish I had gotten drunk before watching it. I wish I hadn't bought it for my OH. I hate having to apologise for buying a present.

You know in a public toilet when the toilet roll dispenser has been refilled and no matter how delicate and precise with your actions, when you try to unroll the paper, it always rips 3/4's of the way through sheet number 1.

There's an Aungier Danger pop up shop open in Arnotts and I didn't know until today.

That's five days of donut eating I've missed out on.

Forgot that tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and this has upset my menu plan as I have shephards pie planned.

Turn it into a fisherman's pie and replace the mince with tuna... Don't know what it'll taste like, mind you...

I just ordered a sandwich in the local bakery, and I was asked if I was having it there or to takeaway . I replied "To go, please" I am off home now to insert some needle under my fingernails.

On the plus side, as I was leaving the sandwich shop, I saw a man do that trip,stumble and pretend to start running thing. I enjoyed that.

No, he usually has dry food but we gave him leftover chicken and gravy yesterday. He was soooooooo bad last night.

Had that same problem with one of my dogs. I moved him on to Skinners dry food, it's a good quality food and not as expensive as some of the better known brands. €35 - €45 for 15 kg. you don't need to feed as much and even less to pick up from the garden. But I know what you mean, as soon as I throw him a couple of sausages or left over meat......its windows open.

It's a bit of an Americanism. I personally have no problem with it but some people are opposed to sounding even vaguely like an American.

Because I said "To go". Exactly the sort of thing I would give out about if I was standing behind someone else who said it:)

Unless of course, I was in a deli in New York

Ah, I see! I'm definitely guilty of using that one a few times.

TA today is that it's only Tuesday and I have to do some exercise before stuffing my face with pancakes.

Gravy it seems is bad for a dog, one of them things you shouldn't give a dog, like chocolate, then it goes and eats it's own poop, who (human) decides whats good or bad for a dog?? my old (dead now) used to take carrots out of her bowl and drop them beside it, she told US what she didn't like.

Bit of a scratchy throat, definitely feel a cold coming on, so I decide I should have a Lemsip. Rummage around in the office's First Aid kit and find the very last one stuck in the corner, excellent. Throw the kettle on, empty the sachet into a cup and wander away to do something else.

Come back once it has boiled, and out of the sheer force of habit of a tea-drinker I throw a teabag into the cup. In goes the boiling water...and I'm now drinking tea-flavoured Lemsip. It's exactly as gank as you would expect.

I would not mind an ice cream now to be honest. It would warm me up.

People who start sentences with "So", bad enough when it's spoken sentences, but I was reading a few threads here and they also start with "So" and all the replies started with "So" too,
So we had this installed...,
So I've just checked...
Where is this annoying phenomenon coming from?? It just sounds fake, or when its spoken it sounds like a rehearsed answer.

I often start my sentences with ''So'' and it's fairly common in Cork, I often do it when I'm writing a post online too, I don't even think of it to be honest.

Yeh I got into the habit after a few years in cork, it does seem to be a thing there. It's not as annoying as the "insert like into every sentence" thing they do though, that one took a while to get my head round (like)!
