Trivial Things That Annoy You — Rules in Post #1

Telluric

People who call on private number. I never answer. If you're going to call me out of the blue, at least let me know who you are so I can decide whether I want to talk to you.

this TA happens to me lately, it could be my age though, but I am too cold so put on me jumper ... but then I am too hot! - too cold with it off, too hot with it on! :mad:

TA'd I have to turn off the heating because the dog is too warm!

TA - hearing over the years living in Ireland "there just isn't the population to make it viable" or "there just isn't the population"- i'm sure its a correct a factual truth most of the time for this little island we live on ... but then other times I think what a wonderful and convenient 'excuse' that can be used sometimes and rolled out when its required.

I have a pimple on my thumb.

The radiator blew up.

My cold won't f*ck off.

People outside are loud.

I'm hungry but it's bedtime.

Took me about 15 minutes, which I didn't have, of serious blinking to get an eyelash out of my eye earlier this morning

Harry Redknapp's been doing this for three decades so 15 minutes isn't that long in the scheme of things.

.. yeah but what are you TA'd about

Andy From Sligo

TA'd about people trying to convert people to their lifestyle - now im not saying all do this but I have come across some who:

People who go to church or who are in the church or who spout off bits out of the new testament anywhere and everywhere they can

fit people looking down and judging people who do not have a fit lifestyle like them

People who dont eat meat pulling funny faces at people who do eat meat

People who eat meat pulling funny faces and making snide remarks about vegans and their chosen lifestyle

People who drink and get drunk but cannot get their head around why someone doesnt want an alcoholic drink when its offered to them

People who love football - but cannot comprehend someone not liking it or having any interest in it (or important matches) - (especially if you are a man!)

Or people who cannot comprehend people that dont like any sport at all...

They do exist amongst us! .....

The price of everything seems to be going up. But my salary is not.

Someone in my house bought ten boxes (yes, ten boxes) of M&S Belgian Chocolates because they were on half price offer. I've almost eaten the whole top layer of one box and feel ill. Why does something which at first seems luscious suddenly reach a saturation point and now seems sickening especially when there's still another nine and a half boxes still in the house? TA at my self-inflicted chocolate overdose/first world problem.

VAT has always been on tolls, at23%. So maybe they plan to hike the price by 60%. Though I haven't heard this...it's a major TA if true.

Not charged on State owned ones only private ones, but the E.U is cracking down on that for unfair competition.....
But if not enough cars use the (private) M3 the State has to top up their coffers, now that's a T.A,

People rattling plastic and paper bags while you're in the same room reading/listening to/watching something. Hugely annoying! Have your food at the dinner table and stop your crinkling around me and my peace.

Also, the huge number of people who cannot seem to live without having a radio/tv/noise on in the "background" - and I use "background" very loosely to include the entire room. They are oblivious to that massive interference in peace. When the ads come on, for instance, press the mute button and allow the conversation to flow again. Or just enjoy the silence. Ahhh.


Then again, this book was left for me in my Christmas stocking last year.

I just watched a UK-based TV series where vehicle reg plates were fictitious (mostly). Not only that, but they used several different false plates for the same motor. Possibly to try to obscure the age of the vehicle?

The hassle of changing your phone. Miss the days of just popping in the sim and building up my snake score again. Spending the morning reinsalling apps and signing into this that and the other. First world probs, eh?

When a 'friend' argues with you for no reason and makes you feel like a c*nt, when really you were looking out for them.

Fast forward a couple of weeks, friend tries to turn argument and twist what they said to change it so you do in fact look like the c*nt.

Till you remember you still have the text, so you copy and paste it for their reading pleasure and end up the c*nt anyhow!

I had a dream last night where I was lying in bed eating cake.
I wake up and everything looks the same.
I look around for my cake.
Can't find any.
Realised it was a dream.
Massive disappointment.

TA at the fun we could have had with that post in the old days....anyway I'm guessing it was a big cream donut...

My husband goes back to work tomorrow after a week off and I'll have to make my own breakfast

Ninjini

The fact that I can't think of any names for the impending new arrival.
At this rate he or she will be know as "The New One" or "S/He Who Has No Name".

TA at lack of inspiration.

From today on the nights are longer than the days

TA'd by Google+ sending me emails between the hours of 1 and 5 am - I can't delete the stupid in built email app that I never wanted and I need to keep my phone on so these stupid emails are guaranteed to give me a fright in the middle of the night. My first thought is that there is something wrong. I can't block the emails, either. I tried to twice.

bodhrandude

TA I have this Clash melody stuck in my head but don't know name of track and its from their fourth album Sandinista, a folky South American vibe number, have been on Youtube with no joy so far.

fussyonion

TA'd that my roast chicken isn't cooked yet and I'm bloody starving.
And even when it is cooked, I still have to wait for the roasties and veg to cook.

Also TA'd that I'd love a drink tonight but I can't as I have to drive later.

Turn off notifications for the app or turn your wifi/mobile data off if possible.

TA that I ate lots of unhealthy food over the weekend and feel guilty about it now.

mud

Bins that waft the foulest stench into the air. Just so ****ing rank.

GeneralVanilla

scdublin

Those little fruit flies that seem to just always be there. Hanging near the bin (and we have a separate bin outside for leftovers). Hanging near food when you're cooking. Go away, it's mine!

Phones have transfer tools now that you use to transfer everything from your old phone to the new one via bluetooth.Last time I changed phones it took 20 mins to do

Vel

TA's having to look at all these young lads walking around with their over developed upper bodies and tiny little chicken legs bet into really skinny jeans that are just a little bit too short so they can show off the ankles, because none of the fcukers seems to wear socks, and all of them with a gym bag hanging off their shoulder.
