Trivial Things That Annoy You — Rules in Post #1

mud

My TA is being misunderstood.

I was carrying a box in to a house yesterday, the box was large and relatively heavy. Rang the doorbell and a man answered, he tried to pay me while my two hands were holding the box. I said, "will I carry this in for you and then I'll take the money"? Being nice! He immediately froze over and stiffly said "I'm not infirm, I think I can manage", an icicle hanging from every word.

I was a bit flustered but wasn't arsed getting into a discussion about it so hooshed the box over to him. Then he was holding the box and the money so still couldn't pay me. He then called his wife out to take the unwieldy box :pac: then paid me the €69.90 bill with €70 and said "you owe me 10 cent young lady". (Amazing, you can do simple subtraction!)

Damn, if I hadn't offered to carry in the box he might have let me keep it!

The general public TA me so much. The amount of frankly moronic questions I'm asked on a daily basis at work makes me genuinely worry about the level of intelligence in this country.

Seriously, I'm asked stuff that has me shaking my head in disbelief every few minutes and wondering if it's all part of some elaborate prank the world is playing on me.

Then you have people who will ask a question that I just answered to a person standing not three feet away from them seconds earlier.

Do you really think the answer I'll give you will be any different to the one you literally just heard me give that other person.

A nation of obese, greedy clowns.

On a bus this morning. Relatively busy so guy sits beside me on a double seat. No issue there, but he was practically on top of me. Slightly annoying but not the worst.

2 stops later, half the bus gets off. There are 10 empty double seats beside him, in front him, everywhere. He doesn't move. he prefers to squash me instead.

Who doesn't move to an empty double seat for themselves!!

Saturation sports coverage on the radio. I've long since abandoned tv as a source of relaxation or entertainment but in the past 10 years as sports have become businesses they have got a huge increase in airtime.

In particular the sports news being on on each radio station after the news on the hour (how creative!) means that radio listeners have no alternative every hour of the day but to hear the latest sports hype. The 10-minute-long sports section after the 8:30am Morning Ireland news is the worst of this huge imposition as there's no serious radio news alternative for all that time. Today at 8:20 it reached a new nadir as Des Cahill came on with Olympic news. When I turned back at 8:55am he was still talking about the Olympics. Crazy.

It's well past time that RTÉ or the "free market" (ha!) set up a dedicated sports radio station as this colonisation of every single hour of the state broadcaster is destroying radio for the vast majority of the population who have little/no interest in sport no matter how much saturation hype attends to it.

/end rant.

Hi honey. I never realised you were on Boards.

My TA is having to pay multiple subscriptions to watch different sports from round the world. And I still can't get the Rugby Channel :mad:

Related TA - people who put bags/coats on seats beside them on bus so nobody can sit there, thereby increasing the chances of someone sitting beside/on top of you!

This TA'd me yet again last night.

In films in which there is a battle charge, the team facing the charge fire a volley of bullets/spears/arrows/whatever, and we see the first line of the charge being mown down.

Then there's another volley, and we see the chargers falling all over the place.

Then there's another, and they're still dropping like flies.

Yet when the chargers reach the line of battle, there's as many of them as there was at the start.

Not trivial as such, but Truth Seekers piss me right off. You cannot have a conversation with them about anything as they will go off on a NWO rant and how we are being monitored and how toothpaste/sunscreen etc ect etc gives you cancer and the medical companies are behind it so they can sell their drugs.

Glad to see that someone else notices this too. Some people are as thick as three double ditches. I regularly have to check myself from telling them how stupid they are. It really is TAing

So? If you're not a criminal then it doesn't matter.

To add a TA, I'm eating nothing but sh1te lately. After reading the recent thread on crisp sandwiches, I've an obsession with them. I even took one to bed with me one night. I'm pigging chocolate , and I can usually take or leave it. I'm not hungry for dinner now

The onset of a UTI: the unbelievable urge to pee, the mad dash to the facilities, the burning sensation then the pain of the single drop that squeezes out reluctantly.

Cranberry juice and water for the day tomorrow.

Tell me how

It's been said before. I know this.

But....

People signing off their posts with their username makes me want to seek them out in real life and scream in their face " I can see your f*cking username already!!!"

Mu best friend. I do love her but lord she's a divil with a few drinks.

She's just woken me up with a phone call. "Perse I have someone here that wants to talk to you. This is xxxx. He's single".
Sweet divine jaysus.

Ended up speaking to the lad for a few minutes while she intermittenly shouts "I love you so much Perse".

TA husband is watching Gladiator for the last hour for almost the 1100th time. How can anyone keep rewatching the same movie again and again for years? Where's the thrill and the element of surprise in that? He obviously gets off on the gore.
