Getting waves of nostalgia watching 80s power ballad videos on some music channel. As in tears in my eyes watching Whitney Houston. Sweet Jesus, I need to pull myself together, I was never a Whitney fan anyway

The band in our local we were in were playing 'i will always love you' last night, and Mrs W had a few beers on board.

So of course Mrs W decides to serenade me (ie make a holy show of me) that song.

And lets not even mention what happened when the band fired up 'Working 9 to 5'......major TA.

Someone left a single chocolate finger in the box, you know the Cadbury ones?

One isn't really any good to anyone.

Two bigname supermarkets don't sell loose mushrooms anymore. It's not the cost, I don't want to waste half a punnet of them.

Not sure if this counts as "trivial" but my biggest Pet Hate is people from the millennial generation using screenshots as weapons on social media.

Screenshot culture 2016. There are some upsides to the ability to take a screenshot of a tweet, of course.

But for the most part it's a weaponized culture of bullying - to mock others for "stupid" things they write or say.

My twitter timeline is full of screenshots from peoples private FB, instagram and twitter of 'stupid' things they have said.

It's bullying, dangerous and harmful and the millennial generation seem to think it's normal.

Scary stuff. I absolutely 100% believe suicide rates will rise in this country partly due to the fact the entire lives of millennials (and younger) are based around social media and the increased weaponization of screenshots is the new bullying.

That drives me mad, and it's the same with bulbs of garlic in packs of 3,.and tomatoes in packs of 6. I don't ever need them in those quantities

Also, why do people quote the whole of a long post just to add a one line comment? There are a couple of guidelines I learned on Usenet - ah, the memories - all those years ago, as follows:

- quote the bit you're specifically replying to. No, one line is not an adequate response to a long post.
- Try to write at least as much as you quote. (Success.)

Same here..and all those bloody deals drive me insane,2 for 3e etc...I only need one but won't buy them because I'm being done so they backfire imo.Waste food really annoys me and I've just dumped petit filou yogurts because my gang only want the apricot ones ATM but they're only sold in packs of four mixed ones.

Empty after eight packets in a box. WTF, like?

Cyclists cycling on the road, next to a perfectly good cycle lane. I understand it if the cycle lane is in bad condition, but this was a new one, probably in better condition than the road! Of course they had to go through the roundabout too even though the cycle lane goes another (safer) way.

When you're in a restaurant and keep having to ask for water and they keep forgetting.

They say "time flies by when you're having so much fun", but what they really should be saying is "time flies by..." I didn't get any sleep last night and pretty spend most of the night lying in bed with my eyes closed, occasionally tossing and turning. Now i'm going to be tired all day in work because of it :mad:

How in a restaurant, they usually bring your courses out fairly fast, but then when you are finished it takes an age to get the bill!

It's gone a bit cooler, so what, it does this every year. Why is this such a surprise to most people? Why is cold weather bad weather? Why is wet weather bad weather?
Put on an extra layer and get a good coat for yourself.
Saw a fella last night in a tshirt having a cigarette, he says, "jaysus, fooking freezing ain't it"
Wear the correct clothing, and there's no such thing as "bad" weather. (Apart from storms and hurricanes etc)

"Any plans for the weekend??" What? Oh yes, I'll probably do a 15k run this evening, after the office. Tomorrow, after I cut the grass, I'll be up all night freebasing champagne and drinking cocaine with several seven-foot Ukrainian valkyries. That'll run straight into getting home by Parkouring across the rooftops on Sunday morning. After that I might have a bit of a rest.

I'm going to Spain next Monday for a week. "Isn't it well for you". Ahhh F*ck off.

First off, I don't mind Dermot Whelan. He's carved out a living in radio and tv and fair play. Live and let live.

But for the love of God, is he trying to be so painfully annoying in the latest adverts for that Appliance website. The voice he puts on drives my f**king mental :mad:

That drives me nuts. As if they don't get their own holidays and we're from the upper echelons of society, who are the only ones who get holidays!

Reminds me of a fellow last year who asked where my brother was. I said that he was on a week off. He started moaning how it was well for him, and how others had mortgages to pay for and children to look after (which my brother does too by the way). Then I found out after he had his house paid for by his parents and never had to spend a cent on a mortgage. Grrr!

Paid holidays are quite common these days. Is yer maun working as an 1870s coal-miner, or something??

My absolutely biggest pet hate is people relating anything that's deemed above the breadline as "remnants of the celtic tiger"

"Want to spend €3 on a donut?" - You may go back working for Anglo!

"Want to head to Berlin for a weekend?" - I'd say your pension wasn't touched

"Want to buy a coat in somewhere other than Penneys?" - You're basically a traitor to working people

Genuinely there are people who sneer at anyone who wants to have any thing that isn't the bare minimum of existence
