Trivial Things That Annoy You — Rules in Post #1

jimgoose

This morning I pulled out an old-ish pair of somewhat dressy shoes just to give them an outing. Around lunchtime both of them failed catastrophically across the beam. Now, I'm hard enough on shoes but this is the first time I've encountered such a poor show. So I've been going around the office for the afternoon in my usual smart-casual, but with shoes on me like Charlie Chaplin doing his textbook comic tramp. Billocks! :pac:

WTF like is it with this. I drive a BMW and am a normal soul. Total over reaction to say the least. Having it all? it's just a car.

Alright, can we move on from this please. Can we also remember to keep posts somewhat civilised. No need for every second word in a post to be ***ing this and ***ing that.

Thanks.

If you think you're nothing it's because you think you are nothing. Other people don't see you like that. You see yourself like that.

Edit: sorry K. Cross posting.

Get bent you aul fooker. Its not an auxillery checkout for you because the main checkouts are jammed.

They're a lovely car to drive and normally it'd be a TA of mine when people take against someone because of a flippin' badge on their car. Hope that gets sorted soon!

I have the use of one whenever I'm up at me mother's place - the brother has a rather tasty F10 520D.

Got an MRI done finally but had to listen to Ariana Grande for 20 minutes.
I imagine this is a form of torture in some countries.

I wonder can you pay people to walk you, like doggie daycare for humans?

Being invited to someone's house, then being made to feel like I'm a nuisance for being there.

TA'd that I've been to the doc and he said I have extremely low blood pressure and there's no treatment except to increase my salt intake.
I don't really like salt!

Also TA'd that I'm in the middle of clearing out of my wardrobe and I wish I never started now!

how did they passively communicate their disdain and utter contempt for you?

do tell. your story will show how humans really work, and make me look less paranoid.

Don't feel paranoid.I totally got your post earlier...it sounded like the straw that broke the camels back.It wasn't beemer drivers fault and I'd say the cashier may have been young/new and couldn't get your payment up on the till but handled the situation badly.In saying that I'd have been annoyed too.Go to a prepay pump in future 😛

People who use it's instead of its and who's instead of whose.

Gnats / Mosquitoes. There!!! Just battered one, hard, against the wall.

Bloody wall, beside this work station, is like an abstract art piece! It's not though. It's years worth of squashed bloody gnats!

Hate the buggers!

Not exactly gonna give me, or the Dogs malaria or anything. Just can't stand the thought of one of them getting one over us, as we sleep. Bastards!

Nothing worse than splatting one, and it splashes its gut full of fresh blood all over the wall; " Is that mine, or my Dogs? Ye blood sucking Bastard?! "

Hate them!

Keep losing my fitbit charging cable

They are very small so easy to lose and Fitbit make you only use their design, a standard USB cable won't do

You can get sachets in the pharmacy that you add water to and drink and it replenishes all your salts/electrolytes etc. I can't remember what it's called but if you ask they'll probably know.

I can understand your frustration in this instance, however, I will use the self service, with a trolley, in cases where there are insufficient resources on the main tills.
Example, two weeks ago. 15 main tills, one check out operator, 4 in queue with large trolleys obviously.
The floating Dunnes worker at the self services said I wasn't supposed to use them with a trolley and I told her I agreed, but I told her there should be sufficient resources to man the tills at what was a common time for people to do shopping (6pm Saturday evening). I felt like a bit of d*ck saying it but I also felt me using it in this way proved a point.


My TA. Several tills, Multiple customers, insufficient check out operators. :mad:

Personal trainer. I think you can pay them to come and roar at you at 5am and make you stop slobbing and get you out jogging.

Quite a few Dunnes country wide I've been in dont seem to have a problem with a half full flat trolley being self scanned. I fully expected to be told to go to the checkout but so far no one has.

One of mine has tendon issues and can't carry a heavy basket or pull the wheely one's, so she uses the smaller trolleys, once she explained why she was using self scan and how it was saving time in the long run, she never had a problem except in a new branch.

Litter bugs. Confronted one today and they looked at me like I had two heads. They will be telling their buddies about the mad fella who picked up their litter and gave out to them.

PPl saying "Its not personal" when I've been lead to believe/told/planned for one thing and it changes randomly with all its attendant effects on MY life.

People posting questions on Facebook when Google could easily give them the answer.

Eg can anyone tell me of places in Cork that hire suits for a wedding?

Ffs just Google it!!
