TA'd that once again, the day I need to use the Luas to get to the train station, there is a strike on!

Fúck. Those. Cúnts.

My hair, which I washed today, is too fresh and bouncy and I don't know if it's static or what but every fcuking minute a strand of hair keeps tickling my face or getting in my mouth.
I very nearly grabbed my hair in a bunch and ripped it out in temper, such is my mood.
I said to my other half "Jesus, at least dirty hair doesn't do annoying things!!" and he just inched away from me, such is his right.

Everything keeps dropping out of my hand today too.
Drying some cutlery and a spoon fell on the floor FOUR TIMES.
I threatened the spoon loudly by telling it I would "...break your neck in a minute you fcuking prick!", but I didn't realise the window was open and so my neighbours most likely think I'm about to have a domestic with my other half.

Flushing the toilet after urinating, what a waste my next water bill will be huge.

I'm running Firefox on my laptop and don't have the Adobe flash video player addon. It is one PITA I can no longer be bothered with. Reason being all to frequent updates, nag screens etc.etc.

I can watch video on Youtube, facebook, vimeo, etc etc. Most of the internet supports video on this browser. But there are still sites that insist that I install flash.

The two principal offenders are bbc and tvnz. Being a bit of a current affairs and news junkie I get very annoyed and decide that I'll get my news (propaganda) elsewhere.

I would encourage others to do the same and as publicly as possible.

First post on this thread, but have rambled in snd out a few times, but have not read all the posts, so sorry if this already got a nention...

Why is there no way to "cancel" the floor selection in a lift (elevator)??
I am sure that it has happened to quite few of you. You (or worse, someone else!) press the a floor selection, then realise that it's the wrong one and you are going further up (or down), then, after pressing the correct number, you have to put up with the delay of the lift stopping and doors opening and closing for nothing before you get to where you want to go.

I read somewhere that pressing the button twice (after the initial selection) will cancel it. I'm not sure how true it is but it's worth a try.

There was no trivial annoyance in the post. So 24 hour thread ban.

People who say things like "you're grand" when you ask them a question. They aren't responding to the question, they're trying to wave it away, it seems to me. Often, they're talking over me, so it's obvious they aren't listening. "That's fine, you're grand, you're grand, you're grand, fine."

Besides ... how do you know I'm grand? That's my choice, not yours. Don't try and tell me how to feel, thanks. If you have any actual regard for how I feel, then answer the freaking question I asked you! :rolleyes:

Ah here.

The arbitrariness of this trivially annoys me.

I'm going to start putting a disclaimer called "buses TA me" at the end of my posts and then I can say whatever the hell I want above.

Buses TA me. As do people who spend ages fishing for coins to pay their fair notwithstanding they have been at the stop for an age and therefore had plenty of time to get their shít together.

Fúcking idiots who say they are available for something and then a day later, "Oh I forgot I had something on that night!"

You thick fúcking cúnt! :mad: :mad:

People who don't take their stuff off the printer for ages so you have to sift through their paper when collecting your own.

People who tell me things they've already told me.

My mother has a habit of doing this.
E.G: "I was talking to Rita the other day and she was telling me Lisa's going to England for a year to work..."
Me: "Yeah you told me that."
Mam: "Yeah and she was saying she's gotten a job at a hospital.."
Me: "Yeah, you were saying..."
She carries on telling me.
Stop telling me if you've already told me!
My reaction wont' be any different this time and you're just being tedious.

I've said this before but I'm saying it again because it keeps happening...people telling me about a dream they had.

"Oh wait til I tell you," they begin, "I had a mad dream last night..."
And that's when I totally glaze over.
I don't care. I honestly don't care. Your dream, no matter how wild and fantastical it was, was simply a DREAM.
Nothing you tell me is going to amaze me or make me want to listen.

People showing you their holiday photos.
Now, I will make an exception for family; I DO like to see pics from my parents' recent holiday because I like to see where they went and it's nice to see them in photos as they don't have many pics of themselves.
BUT...other people showing me their pics.
I have no patience.

Or when parents don't compare notes so you get the story once from each of them

People who print a 300 page document, and ignore it when the printer runs out of paper 5 pages in. You refill it and have to wait half an hour for your job to print.

I use the cancel button in those situations, I don't care whose document it is or how important. Got called out for it once and told them the printer automatically cancels all jobs that are stuck in the queue for 30 mins or more, in case 'the files are corrupt'. Worked like a charm :P

Eugh this! I hate that (er mean I am TA by that). How in the hell can grown people, grown WOMEN get pee on the seat!? There is an excuse for men, they have to aim, but we remain seated for the entire performance how the heck does the toilet seat get wet?!

All these prepubescent, angst ridden, broken hearted young fellas with guitars which appear to everywhere, X Factor, Face book, somewhere has talent etc etc, with the sort of hairstyle that requires scaffolding. Singing about how life is so unfair/girlfriend ran away with best buddy....what the fcuk could you possibly know about life, you are only fourteen ffs! Always with that annoying habit of slicing off the start or end of the word, with a semi broken voice! Aaaaaarrrrggghh.

I've trivially annoyed by how sore my legs are after my jog yesterday.

Today's trivial annoyance is (actually it's most days but I never think of mentioning it) the 3 phone ads with "Get Free 4G and All You Can Eat Data ".

Stop using this phrase! You don't eat the data, you use it! Shut up and I hate you!!

TA'd that I want all the bad things for lunch but I'm trying to lose weight so, while my heart wants tiger bread sandwiches, Cuisine de France rolls with ham, a bag of chips drowned in salt and vinegar, King crisps and a Kinder Bueno, plus a Double Cheeseburger from McDonald's, my head (and my wallet!) dictates I shall have a tuna sandwich on wholegrain bread and a bowl of soup :mad:

maybe I should have clarified... it's my work seat (at my desk) that's wet! :pac:
No idea why!

I know I spend a lot of my working time on the 'other' seat...


TA - Wires....wires everywhere! I thought we'd be living in a probably wireless world by now! All the talk of wireless / cloud etc..., but there seems to be even more wires cluttering my desk / home!

TA that I want to lose weight before my graduation but I also don't want to jinx myself by going on a graduation diet before my results are out. So I am in diet/results limbo. When I do get results and (hopefully) pass everything first time, there will be less than a month before graduation to lose the weight!

Walked so much yesterday I got a blister on the ball of my foot and it's f**king killing me.

And worse is the people who set a print job, and when it doesn't print (out of paper or some other reason) they just reset it for a different printer without cancelling the original order.

When the first printer finally comes back online, it starts printing stuff that they don't need any more.

That belongs in the Wanker Warning Signs thread really.

Haha, are you me? I had an argument with the washing machine the other day. Rubber seal thing doesn't always seal, so I thought I'd give out to it. Wife could hear me from the sitting room and came in and thought I was arguing with someone one the phone.
I also give out to my laces, my radio, and the telly gets some awful treatment. There's bite barks in my playstation joy pad.
