I don't get to watch football often. whenever I don't watch a match it turns out to be a stonker... piece of history... amazing game.

whenever I do watch a match its usually awful stuff and a complete waste of time

People who add "lol" at the end of every second sentence they type. I immediately think at best "dope I want far away from me, likely wears slacks. but otherwise harmless. Unless I have to share a long plane journey with them" all the way to "Oh Oh Utter moron alert and come the revolution I'll be wearing their ears as a necklace".

People who are erratic, indecisive and just plain bad drivers. Self driving cars can't come soon enough with those muppets.

Hell, Hell, Bl**dy Hell!

I was putting my 3 year old to bed when I heard the jangle of keys in his bed. He had my key ring with my (one and only) car key on it in the bed with him. I took it off him put them in my pocket. I'm just after taking them out of my pocket and the car key is bent and twisted! WTF was he doing with it!!

Looks like I'm carless if I can't get someone to straighten it. I think that I'm gonna cry

Has your son got superpowers? Was he born on Krypton?

TA'd that there have been so many superhero movies (and hundreds more to come) that it's started to bleed into real life now! :eek:


(I don't know why I'm surprised - your username is practically an X-Men character name! )

my 3 year old

If someone ever weaponises three year old humans and sets them loose, nuclear armageddon will look like a pleasant barbecue on a mild day by comparison.

From what I've seen with friends of mine in similar straits, R is just lucky his youngfella didn't get access to the actual family car.

TA that I have a mild headache, that is just strong enough to stop me sleeping.
If I take a pain killer my stomach will be in worse pain than the head.
Tried having cup of tea, water, open window for fresh air.
Hope I can sleep soon enough.

Thanks Guys

That's the plan

The 3year old has the exact same superpowers as almost every other three year old - a penchant for finding trouble in all forms, tantrums of nuclear proportions, twisting his two grannies around his little toe, streaking around the house nude (especially if I'm skyping family) at lightning speed of course

Absolutely agree

His car B&E skills have extended to trying to get INTO parked Garda cars.

My additional TA is the amount of paperwork I have to do is horrendous. Everytime I sit down just to think about starting it the list gets longer! I need someone to be able to read my mind and do it for me - the exact way that I would do it Spot the control freak

These obnoxious yuppie parents that bring their kids to the gym in the hour or two after they've finished school and leave the poor little f**ker out in the noisy reception area to do his/her homework while they head off for a workout.

Kid should be at home in a quiet environment doing their homework, could see the same poor kid in the lobby area 3 days a week in the place doing their homework.

TA'd at having the flu. I never get sick

I pride myself on a strong immune system and actively avoiding those reprobates in society who insist on coughing and sneezing without covering their gobs.

I'm also TA'd that I can't think of who it was that gave me it!

And also TA'd that I get it at this time of year!

Badly Drunk Boy

I just got an envelope from HR. (Oh no! What did I do?) "You have 335.08 hours of holidays to use this year." That's over 41 days!

The thing that's trivially annoying me is that it means the bit that's over the 41 days, is 7.08 hours. How did I get 7.08 hours? I work on the clock, and the lowest time unit that we can be paid for or can be taken as holidays is 15 minutes. The total should only finish with .0, .25, .5 or .75!! 0.08 of an hour is 4 minutes 48 seconds!!

(But I'm happy that I have the holidays to take...)

I've a doctor's appointment at 12. I think it's my appendix. Absolutely dreading it.

Trivially annoyed that you've so many holidays

I did that running type of fall in my daughters bedroom earlier, and ended up whacking the side of my head off of her bedroom door before bouncing off the wall. Did she rush to my aid offering an ice pack ? Did she fcuk, it was "fecks sake, Mam, what are you at?" I'm surprised she didn't put me as her Snapchat story. I've a horribly sore bump:(
I spotted a pack of kale leaves in the supermarket earlier "unwashed for an honest leaf". I was filled with rage. The sh1te that's spouted to sell stuff nowadays!

kfallon

The weather, cold & wet!

OldNotWIse

There was a man (Neanderthal) on the luas yesterday picking his nose in full view of everyone. And I mean having a right ol' root around and examining his finds and rolling them into little balls and flicking them onto the ground. He saw me glaring at him and still kept up his excavation work! What an ignorant fúcker! And people judge me for using hand sanitizer everywhere I go, can you blame me with pigs like that wandering the planet. Eugh.

Dial Hard

The fact that the "Small annoying occurrences" thread got closed before the OP explained why she needed to shower a second time before she could change her socks.

Managers trotting out the line 'it will look good on your CV' as they try to dump a load of extra work on you, while pretending they're doing you a great favour.

JustShon

I made a pun on a thread but it was the last post before it went over to a new page so nobody's seeing my pun

What's the point of a pun if it doesn't hurt anyone?

northgirl

Someone polluting the air with their perfume as they're leaving the office for the day. FFS do it outside..

KatW4

People who drive half in the hard shoulder and half on the road. Drives me up the wall.

Robsweezie

The sound of bursting balloons. My nerves..

all ads for KBC at the moment. the TV ad bugs the **** out of me, the internet ad on Boards, and the radio ad with your one singing "I am what I am" over and over and over again:(

Yeh there's something about the current batch of radio ads where words of songs in the background are distracting from the message. Someone complained recently that the important message about the Census was drowned out by the jingle/song.

As a male who can only concentrate on one thing at a time the constant interruption of interviewees regardless of the subject matter is really annoying.

Shouting at the radio helps!

TA that there still is no second main announcement from Electric Picnic, jaysus

frozenfrozen

Trivially annoying how I don't have electric picnic to look forward to this year

Why do they say that to you, the answer to the git is...

Why am I putting it on a C.V am I looking for a new job?
Or
Is that a hint?

TA that I can feel a cold coming on, and I've exams next week.

failinis

TA that I don't know if thats my ovary shooting out an egg or the start of appendicitis. *







*I have an irrational fear of appendicitis so now I wont be able to sleep well tonight either!

Snapchat lurkers. I've 2 or 3 friends on snapchat who never send anything or put anything on their story. Yet when I put a pic in my story they're always the first ones to look at them. I'm not on Facebook, but I believe a similar carry on goes on there. Never put anything on it, but spend hours every day on it looking at what other people are at.

Finished my exams today. Can't have a drink to celebrate because I'm pregnant. Can't have a non-alcoholic drink because I have a kidney infection. So celebrating with water and antibiotics which are making me feel more drained.
