Trivial Things That Annoy You — Rules in Post #1

Testacalda

The way that Sharon Ni Bheolain over emphasises everything when interviewing someone, just to make things seem dramatic when they really aren't

Samsgirl

When you have a day at work with feck all to do and 20min before finishing time a job that will take over an hour lands on your desk.

Got soup and bread for lunch. Wolfed the bread, now I have soup and no bread for lunch

Dodge

Being in the loo in work when the cleaner comes in. I have to wait it out as I can't have him thinking that smell is all mine

TA'd passing all those folks sitting outside a pub with their lovely icy cold pint enjoying the nice weather while I'm on my way back to work.

This problem has been brought up several times over different threads... parking in disabled places when you are perfectly able bodied and have no permit.
But it was the surface carpark last Tuesday evening in Dundrum shopping centre that really annoyed me.
It was pouring rain, and all but one of the eight of the spaces were vacant, of the seven parked cars, one had a permit, one car (no permit) took up two spaces and the others had no permits.
Plenty of spaces available elsewhere, but these lazy sods didn't want to get a few extra raindrops on their delicate heads.
Oh, and from the direction I was walking it took less than a minute to see who had or had not got a permit
Mentioned it to security who didn't give a toss either :mad:

same with the m1 in Drogheda, there is no enforcement to stop these people parking in disabled spots. I also don't understand the 'family' parking spot. Why do they park close? But it really annoys me when people park where they shouldn't

Seriously, there are 3 cubicles in the gents. I don't know if you get off on the sounds of your fellow man but STOP USING THE MIDDLE CUBICLE WHEN ALL OTHERS ARE EMPTY. It's the bloody buffer zone.

TA'd that my colleagues keep saying I'm french.
I'm Corsican, we have our own language Corsu, which also happens to be my surname & we identify with & have more in common with italians than the french.

You should let them know that for you, that's like telling an Irish person they're English. I doubt they will do it again. (Assuming your colleagues are Irish).

TA'd that now I'm going to be dreaming of going to Corsica on holidays, as well as Italy which has been dominating my holiday fantasies all week

I agree.

What happens if he came in and it was the only available cubicle. The two others left, leaving him in limbo?

I get TA'd when people leave me in limbo

DoozerT6

Being stuck behind someone in a long line of traffic, on a long straight stretch of road...and they haven't turned their left indicator off. Driving straight, straight straaaaaaaight ahead with nary a left turn in sight, and yet that light just keeps blinking. The radio must be REAL loud if you cant hear the clicking sound inside the car. JUST TURN IT OFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!

I'm delighted! We will never win it again and i could care less. Last year australia was in it ffs.

What do we do? We send a washed up "singer" from a crap boyband, who just happens to work for rte. as far as I know, Ireland didn't even have a contest, he was just sent.

KatW4

Leaving my glasses in the bathroom after I've had a shower and not realising until I'm in bed with a cat snuggling me. Major TA.

failinis

TA when deadline is Monday and I hate everything I have done regardless of suggestions given to me?!
Argh!

Robsweezie

TA It's Friday the 13th...freaked

mud

I'm a good singer but every once in a while I have a day where I'm flat as fook and it really p1sses me off! Every time it happens I get freaked that my voice will never come back. It always has so far but one day . . . .


TA!

When contents of squeezy bottles make it onto the outside. That little dribble of honey or washing up liquid that makes the bottle either stick to your hand or go flying half way across the kitchen.

Or when you don't notice it for ages and go to pick it up only to find it has decided to basically glue itself to the shelf. I'm looking at you, small squeezy bottle of honey :mad:

People throwing cigarette butts from cars.

Non indicating car driving pricks

The people using those vape electronic cigarettes inside public places. I don't care if it's legal.

Now.

People who say "then" instead of "than" because I know they are doing it on purpose.

when you sit down to watch a program and they show highlights of what your about to watch and in some cases ruining the program.
Why do that. Im sitting down to watch it. I don't mind if its the previous episode but on the current one. why

northgirl

public service employees that have worked in the public service for so many years they feel it's appropriate to treat any new entrants like dirt.

syngindub

People insisting you watch youtube videos on their phone they think are funny and like 2+ mins long. happens in work a good bit with one particular guy. very annoying !!

fussyonion

People who don't offer to throw someone a few bob for doing some oddjobs for them.

My other half has been doing odds and ends for my parents recently, little things like fixing one of their doors, painting two doors, dropping them to garden centres, fixing this and that, helping them get rid of some old furniture, and it hasn't occurred to them to give him a few quid.

I'm furious on his behalf but he said it doesn't matter.
I said it does matter; petrol costs money and the amount of driving he has done to help them out.

Thing is, my parents are actually very kind and would hate to think they were taking advantage of him, but they are.
I feel like saying it to them. Something like: "Would you not throw him a few bob for all the little jobs he's done for you?"

They wouldn't hesitate in paying a stranger to do it and I know it's family and we all do favours, but he's done quite a bit and now they want him to hang up pictures for him.
Fine, but we live forty minutes away from them so at least chip in for petrol?

There'd be no point sending a real musician because it is not a song contest anymore. (TA)

eisenberg1

TA'd about the the difference between "I could care less" and "I couldn't care less". The more I think about it, one (to me anyway) seems to contradict the other and but both seem to be correct, I think. Anyway, I couldn't give a sh1t (or could I?) which is right.

Really TA'd that we can't debate it here.

Someone has blocked my driveway again, feckin sick of this. More then trivially annoyed!
