Trivial Things That Annoy You — Rules in Post #1

My ta: being stuck behind somebody in a Nissan Micra or a Toyota Yaris. I've yet to be surprised by the driver of either one of those cars. And, yes, I'm aware it's genuinely a great symbol of freedom and equality that so many nervous and elderly people are driving nowadays and I (genuinely) fully support it. But still, temperamentally I'd rather not be behind them as they do 20km an hour.

i get a lot of spammy porno emails in my junk folder , one of them in particular was keen to inform me that my neighbour is a dirty whore.

my neighbour is an aul one in her 70s, a classy one too. half TA at the spam and half amused.

waking at 3am... :pac:

New Home

Being woken up at three AM, and not for a good reason. A valid one, yes, but not a good one.

I had a shower and was looking forward to getting into bed.... But I forgot that I stripped the bed earlier. I hate when I've forgotten to make up the bed earlier in the day and have to do it just before I get into it.

Another T/A: My kids have a better selection and a greater amount of bedlinen than I do. I was tempted to put a ninja turtles or paw patrol pillowcase on my bed but the instigation of the ensuing WW3 just wouldn't be worth it.

I started to write this last night I but was so tired I was falling asleep while doing it that it was full of gobbledygook.

Awake from 3-6 am. Dozed from 6-7. So sleepy while showering got shampoo in my eye - at work now trying to look awake :pac:

Inconsistent tampon "sizing" across brands. Brand X regular = doing the John Wayne walk. Brand Y regular = pencil up O'Connell Street :mad::mad:

Dossing. Decide you want a piece of toast but someone is in the kitchen hogging the work top and chatting away to someone else, so you decide to wait til they've left to avoid the awkward canteen dance where everyone is in everyone else's way, and to avoid the mind numbing small talk. Fifteen minutes later, they are still there!

Every day at 10:30 we've a 15 minute tea break where all ascend on the small canteen to have a cuppa and a chat. I avoid it like the plague, because there's at least 20 people in a room comfortable for no more than 10. It's usually about 11:10 before I get in to make a coffee since they crowd hang on a LOT more than 15 mins.

TA'd that a woman I work with had a go at me today for being unsocial and not having a coffee with 'the group', pi$$ off!!

Waited for two weeks to get an available meeting time with a company I deal with, did a huge amount of prep for the meeting and then they cancel the telecon 10 minutes before the scheduled call time. Now have to wait until the end of next week when they are next available.

To be honest more than slightly TA's about this Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!!

The cat snuggling against me on hot nights, and then going walkabout on cold nights when I want my furry foot warmer

Littering. The bin was right next to you, you fool.

People inconsistent with healthy eating.. they won't use enough or any oil, butter, or lard, and skimp on sugar and salt in recipes and pull off bits of fat from their rashers and steaks and will then afterwards go and eat ****ing oreos and ice cream and cookies, or worse they find that the pre packaged breaded chicken is nicer than the bland overcooked under-seasoned etc etc food they make themselves

make a nice dinner and eat as much as you want and don't have dessert or junk food in the evening if you want to lose weight / stay healthy

penny wise pound(of fat) foolish


prudish food behaviour in general is trivially annoying.

Getting used to a new make of phone is hard enough, but then there's the predictive text not recognizing all my curse words so I have to add them to the dictionary. TA as well that I'm making efforts at not cursing so much in conversation and it's not going well. Gobdaw just isn't as satisfying to say as cnut:(

I brought a relative to hospital today for an outpatient appointment.

This was her first time at this particular hospital so I went to the check-in desk and the lady asked: "Did you use the self-service check-in desk?".

I said I had tried to use it, but a message popped up saying; "SEE RECEPTION".
The lady said: "That's OK, I'll check her in now. Go straight down to suite 4."
So off we went.

The appointment was for 2pm.
At 3.30pm, after witnessing every single other patient go before us, I asked where my relative was in the queue.

The lady said "Oh she's not on the system. You weren't checked in."
I was FUMING.
I had to go and get charts and other notes from a different reception before returning to the suite.

The doctors had to wait back late especially for her and eventually she was seen to.

We had arrived at the hospital at 1.30pm and left at 6pm.
Fcuking nuts. And all because someone made an error.

I'm home now but I am exhausted.

I feel your pain. I bought new school pants on Monday and despite being repeatedly asked to try them on to see if they fit so they could be changed if needs be, she still hasn't. I'd bet my life there will be something wrong with them, and she'll be telling me she can't go in tomorrow as they don't fit properly. Teenagers are a huge TA:(

TA'd at people thinking we are TAing.

When people say that imitation is the best form of flattery. No it's not. Feck off and come up with your own original ideas. Stop trying to steal other people's and then trying to pass them off as your own.

Ah, only the arsey ones. Wait, what? You are a teenager? TA, I didn't cop that.

I've let my fingernails grow longer and though they look nice they're also being a bit of a nuisance. I scratched an itch on the back of my upper thigh earlier today and thought I felt a thread from my tights snag on a nail. After checking, I thought I was grand but when I bent over the whole ar$e ripped out of them. They were my favourite pair too. Thank God I was at home when it happened!

Someone promising you a room to rent, giving your notice in and getting told 24 hours later some BS reason that they've given it to someone else :mad:
