Trivial Things That Annoy You — Rules in Post #1

Rosie Rant

Another buggy annoyance - people who walk alongside the buggy with a hand on one of the handles. They block the whole footpath and it can't be all that safe.

When I'm using someone else's bathroom and they haven't cleaned the toilet seat in the last century. I avoid my friend's bathroom whenever I can. The rest of the toilet is perfect but the seat is sticky. Annoyingly I keep forgetting to put toilet seat wipes in my bag.

When crossword clues don't have the correct meaning.

Skanger type teenaged boys going around on children's tiny bicycles. It seems to be a trend in my town lately. It looks ridiculous .

People who drive along at 25miles a fortnight but speed up when you finally get to straight part and can overtake.

Why wasn't the kid in the buggy?

There was a younger kid in it, my own feeling was the state through the taxpayer is giving this woman a pile of money and a free house and her kids are just a means of her making money, she doesnt give a **** about them and they will grow up to be criminals as a result.

My TA on this point is the wrong type of people having money thrown at them to have kids and not work and the working families constantly under financial pressure while these ***** just smoke drink and have a sense of entitlement

My pc won't recognise my phone, not with the cable, not on bluetooth...they just won't talk to each other. So I have to upload my files to dropbox then download onto my laptop. So annoying!

Yeah anything Apple is a TA of mine for this reason

Except it's not Apple. It's Samsung. But that annoys me too with my ipod!

When you order food and they give you loads of rubbish on the side that you never, ever asked for - and indeed that you specifically requested that they not put on your plate. And all this done to make what you're paying for seem like it's more.

Once upon a time, believe it or not, you'd just get a ham sandwich when you asked for a ham sandwich. Simplicity. Now they throw lettuce and other obnoxious rubbish like salad dressing that you never wanted on and charge you twice as much for that formerly simple ham sandwich. Oh what a "deal" - not.

Cars not following the one way system in our local carpark and beeping me out of it when I am.

This is a huge TA of mine. Happens constantly in a local independently owned supermarket small carpark. The amount of near misses there is scary.

The kittens are terrorising my 3 big cats. They're not doing anything apart from chasing their tails, trying to eat their food and generally being nosey. I now have to sit guard over the 3 big cats while they eat in case a kitten comes over for a look. My cats are bloody drama Queens!

My ta: crap translations. I was at the pier in Mullaghmore this afternoon. The two signs in English said "Public Toilets". The unprofessional person in Sligo Co. Co. decided that "Leithreas Poiblí" was correct - when a JC student, or the dictionary, could have told him that the plural of Leithreas is Leithris and that because Leithris is plural ending in a slender consonant the following adjective gets a seimhiú/h: Leithris Phoiblí.

That the state has a team over on www.tearma.ie specifically to help local authorities and members of the public with signage and terminology queries, and at www.logainm.ie with all placemame queries drives me mad when I see this ineptitude.

What's the point in having learned researchers in the state's employment specialising in names when there is no joined-up thinking that ensures signs cannot be made by local authorities at the state's expense without getting the correct spellings first? It's a no-brainer but the same ignorant signs are made because stupidity, waste, ignorance and disrespect triumphs over the basic respect that joined-up thinking between the relevant government departments would immediately give.

But then again according to a woman in The Irish Times yesterday "You must remember there was €4 billion of State funding swilling around in the charities sector with no proper oversight,” What? €4 billion and no state organisation checking where the massive amount of money was spent?!

It's a disease. Imagine the money we'd save if joined-up thinking became a principle of how an Irish government would govern?

i get very irate if I can hear someone eating their food, and when people talk with a mouth full of half chewed up food.

Also I hate listening to anyone stirring a cup of tea or coffee, no idea why tho hahaha

Not even sure is this trivial - but gym stories. Is there anything more boring than a gym bore?

Great, I go myself quite a bit, but I do not talk about it unless asked.

I constantly have to put up with types who will tell you all day before going that they have a class later and how much they are dreading it, and will spend good portions of the day after telling anyone who will listen how sore they are but still feel great after it.

As bad are the ones who need to tell facebook about how hard they worked at the gym.

Rubberlegs

Mothers who know you are having a hard time with a picky eater/poor sleeper, and yet are insensitive enough then to keep telling you how well their child eats/sleeps. I hate you all! My child is cuter anyway, ha

As you are already aware, here's a piece of new information. I'm assuming you know it already, but here it is again ...

I can only think that the person who wrote that must be a badly-programmed robot. In one sentence, the writer manages to (a) make the unwarranted assumption that the reader is already fully aware of that information and (b) understand that the reader is probably not aware of that information, hence the need to restate it. It's almost as if the writer has just dumped those words in there without thinking about the logical implications of the contradictory message they impart.

tl;dr: "as you are already aware" needs to die.

One of my pet hates is people not picking up after their dogs and I'd happily call someone out who didn't, however I would also assess a situation before starting to give someone a bollicking.

My dog is perched mid-****, I am watching, I have bag in hand and have started to bend to initiate the scoop and suddenly some robo-granny emerges out of nowhere (I actually think she may have been lying in wait in a nearby bush!) and starts to rant at me about picking up the sh1t.

What does she think I am about to do standing there with a bag in my hand? Engage in some sort of public auto-erotic asphixiation by popping the bag over my head?!

I gritted my teeth and walked away silently as she examined the area to ensure I hadn't left any behind!

This annoys me more than trivially.

When you reach out to meet someone for a coffee after running into them, they're all smiles and in agreement and after messaging them through Facebook realise you've been blocked..

Definitely T/As me.
I was near someone recently in a restaurant doing that. In the end, I had to glance over to make sure that she wasn't actually mixing cement. :mad:

I was in such a bad mood anyway that if I hadn't walked away I would have decked the b*tch and f*cked her back into the bush she emerged from and then probably dumped the dog sh1t into the bush after her, and that wouldn't have been a good example to set for my kids and the neighbour's kid who were with me and would have most likely ended up with me being arrested :eek:

But let her try that again with me and well.......:pac:

Women doing their makeup on public transport. Get up a bit earlier and spare me the horror of having to watch this spectacle as you pull dirty looking brushes out of bags, fanny around with eyebrow pencils, and then spend 10 minutes admiring your handiwork after by pulling duck faces into a mirror

This would have been my automatic response. Maybe I'm not ready for kids

I do this but without the duck face
Sometimes I'm in a rush so it's nice to have a bit of a relax when on the train and transform myself from wild looking woman to less wild looking woman

My morning TA is being uncomfortably warm and it's only 11 am.

TA that I know what I need to do but no motivation, no matter how many cups of tea.

3 days in and I've already strained a muscle in my arm and have to lay off for a few days to let it recover! I'm a fcuken crock.

I'm back in the water. "Stay in the habit of going, just arse about a bit, have a sauna, maybe a length or two very gently but nothing more"

10 minutes in and everything is feeling good, not 100%, but close - another day or two and I'll be grand. Then I spot that I'm alone in the pool - nobody is watching.

"You know what would be funny RFB? Let's see how bad your Butterfly has gotten since you last tried it a couple of decades ago. Just 1 length while there's nobody about to laugh at you"

Half way down and the I feel the muscle go again - back to square one!
