Trivial Things That Annoy You — Rules in Post #1

Conall Cernach

I walk by a certain house every day. Since around the beginning of January I have noticed that their overflow pipe from their water tank in the attic has been running full blast. Luckily for them their back yard is cemented and must be well drained but how do they put up with that? Even the noise alone would drive you mad.

Someone was smoking a joint as I waited for a bus earlier.
The fking smell of it.

Northern Ireland would have beaten Iceland last night.

The Daddy.

Him: Oh xxxx is dead
Me: Ah that's sad. Was he sick for long?
Him: blaa blaa no blaa blaa.
Me: blaa blaa
Him: Oh wait till I tell you who else is dead! Em do you know em. No I can't remember now. It'll come to me.
Me: Ah jaysus!

Went to sleep early in the evening a few hours earlier than norm and I woke around 4.30am or something. Can't get back to sleep again now and am gonna be punished for getting an early sleep as I'm gonna be tired again and wanting my bed around noon / 1pm. :mad:

Also my left shoulder is horrendously sore.

Forgot my fitbit.

No point in moving off my arse now

Also have checked my wrist about 15 times already.

I got a huge streak of fake tan on a newly painted wall. I tried to get it off with cleaning wipes but all the paint came off. I'm freaking out how to fix it.

I'll have to do something. I can't leave it there. I don't have the paint, I'll have to ask the landlord.

People on message boards like boards.ie using acronyms.

Like "TA", what the **** does it mean? Does it mean "Things that annoy" in which case would it not be "TTA"?

It's not Twitter people, you don't have a character limit, stop bastardising the English language.

It's been used on this particular thread for, well, years.

"TA'd by" suggests a verb form. Since there is two letters, we can reasonably assume the T is an adverb and the A a verb. Take the thread title "trivial things that annoy you", try and take a verb out of that then an adjective for the verb.

Plus the first post says " Trivial annoyances". It's not that hard to work out.

"Child-free"!
Big TA at people who feel it is ok to judge others life choices or circumstances.

Doorbell or ringtone noises in adverts

Reading over cute texts on whatsapp from the OH who was too busy to text me back earlier, only to be caught rapid when he randomly text and noticed i was online and "read" the text as soon as it was sent.


Caught ouuuuut

If you are going to ask me a question, please have the common courtesy to allow me to finish the answer without interrupting me after every second word I utter.

"Question"
"Well if.."
"What?"
"You go to.."
"Where?
"STF UP And LISTEN!"

Cannot find tinned pineapple chunks in natural juice ANYWHERE.

I was going to make a sweet and sour chicken for dinner and I bought all the other ingredients. I could buy a fresh pineapple and cut it into chunks but I need 150ml pineapple juice and I'm not prepared to juice a pineapple with my bare hands.

I could buy a jar of sweet and sour sauce but I have the ingredients for home-made!

Software engineers.

There egos could fill a office just for one of them.

In work yesterday i got basicly giveing out by a group of them over there laptop not wokring and cornered me and the amount of times they said there a engineers was priceless every 3 word

New girl in work has just complained (half joking) that we don't "chat" enough. So she feels like she's working in a morgue. Lovely. Unfortunately some people have actual work to do and can't sit around all day "chatting". FS.

When I can see someone reading a book on a bus or in a waiting room and despite my best nosey efforts I can't see the title of the book. I have got to know what you are reading, dammit

My TA is barstoolers

Called into a local pub for a quiet pint after work. Two old lads on opposite ends of the bar ranting

They have the solution to every situation. They can engineer the M50, build a children's hospital and resolve the banking enquiry. All while supping a pint

I would like them to sit beside each other and let me have a quiet pint in peace

When I tell you these are taxi drivers you won't be surprised

Surreptitious

Made a cuppa instant Latte but there was no coffee in it only dried milk. If the whole box is like that someone will die.

On the list of my TAs are people who reach out and pick loose hairs off your jacket. A woman I did not know did that to me at the bus stop last week ...

Reading a feature about a house in a newspaper or magazine and they say "architect-designed".


Well thank God it wasn't designed by Sheila down at the hairdressers.
