The womans phone who Im sat beside on the train, went off. Stupid loud annoying ring- she picked it up and looked at it for what seemed like an age before answering it!!!

2 of my friends do this and it drives me insane..big loud ring tone,root through the bag for 5 minutes to find phone,stare at phone for another 5 before answering it..it's not as if the caller is going to change identity if you keep looking at it.
Anyway I feel that if you're in company in a public place you're phone should be low or silent and only important calls answered..it's rude and embarrassing imo to do otherwise.You're not that fecking important..

Fed up today of everything after having a nice yesterday, of course it has to be ruined by a certain someone.

Sorry, I have a tendency to do that

Few related to athletes and social media. When men just assume every footballer is the same and presumes they're all cheating on their wives. I don't know why this annoys me, but it's a sort of macho way it's brought up 'of course he's cheating on her' without knowing anything about the person in question.

And also 'she's only with him because he's a footballer'.....but he is a footballer and he does make millions, it's a pretty USP, who else is she going to go for? This is said about every footballer unless they have David Beckham/Yoann Gourcuff looks. Most of the time the girl isn't even that much better looking than the footballer either.

Keep in mind 'trivial' things that annoy me, I don't stay up at night thinking about this.

TA'd at the stupid pharmacist who explained to me in a soft condescending tone that Saturday is not, in fact, a working day and therefore it would be 2 'working days' before my prescription would be in. When I pointed out that today was, in fact, Wednesday, 2 working days after Saturday, she had no explanation for where my order was. :rolleyes:

I found powder detergent left stains on dark clothes. Changed to liquid detergent, seems ok now. I suppose that qualifies as a TA.

Been trying to log into the accommodation website for the uni I'll be going on Erasmus to for the last few days. First there was a problem with the system. Then it said I had already registered and so should have a ref. no and a password (I didn't). Emailed the accommodation section and they sent me the reference number and said they'd send an email reminder to change the password. I didn't get one, so I clicked the "forgot your password?" thing on the website. Still haven't gotten the email! Must it be so difficult?

How some people manage to find the floor with their two feet in the morning should be celebrated as an achievement in itself.

Or when someone comes along to explain your TA to you.

Oh well X is like that because of blah blah
Being annoyed by something doesn't mean you don't understand it.

My TA today is people knowing about something for a very very long time (we're talking years, not days) but leaving it until the last minute to request additional items they need for the something, the said something happening in September.

The person behind me in the cinema probably missed most of the film as they were so focused on kicking the back of my seat for the ENTIRE screening. Didn't want to move as we had the best view of the screen and the film was enjoyable but Jesus it was annoying. Oh and his girlfriend kept whispering "do it again!" I have a limitless card and I'm determined to use it as much as possible despite cinema w@nkers.

Fecking seat kickers or people who push their feet or knees into the back of your seat and rock it back and forth on buses, planes or cinemas they are the scum of the earth. If they are little kids then the parent is scummy for letting them do it.

When the excitement of getting a new phone through a free upgrade is quickly superseded by the turmoil and tedium of setting up the new phone, transferring data and apps from the old phone, and most annoyingly of all, realising that you don't have a micro SIM card and so have to pay a visit to the phone shop again.

Can I just add my own TA to this topic - WHY DO PHONE COMPANIES KEEP CHANGING PHONE CHARGING CABLES?? WHY? WHY? WHY?
My husband got his upgrade last week and his new phone didn't come with a charging cable, instead, it came with a little converter thing to stick on the old cable, however, he has already lost the thing twice because it's tiny. Why was it necessary to change the fucking thing??
We have a load of different charging cables around the house now from all the past phones.

No Apple keep changing.

Most of the rest have been the same for years.

Not necessarily. Try to pour a teaspoon of sugar in a glass of any fizzy drink (club orange, even) and come back to me.

No school runs , no traffic, a 10 minute scoot to work in the morning, alarm set for 8.00AM. Happy days! 7.35 the phone rings. Jump out of bed concerned that whoever is ringing at this hour, its not good news.

Me: "Hello". Caller: "Good afternoon...ehhh morning... here is Microsoft Office..... "

Grrr... My only consolation is that somewhere in Asia a scammer is being treated for a burst eardrum and their consolation is they know a lot more English swear words than they did at 7.30.

Irish banks that are fixated with internet banking and don't care that it's not an option for some types of SLD's, as for the cs staff from said banks that go missing when asked if there is an alternative to online, ie don't know they have phone banking.

The random 'apologies' offered when complaints about the queues in branch(cause SLD means internet cant be done)

How is it I still pay banking fee's when I do 3/4 of the bank's former job!

How hard could it possibly be to change an external water filter on a Samsung side-by-side fridge freezer?

An hour of googling (and a sprained wrist) and it seems very, very hard indeed. And more confused that ever - several people said you must wait various periods of time after you've turned the water off, but there's nothing about this in the meagre instructions. So I don't want to force it. Somebody else said he just cuts the cartridge off the water pipe but surely he's going to have very little of that pipe left in a few years?

And there I was thinking a simple clip in and out every six months is all it would take... 'It's easy' said Mrs Harvey Norman.

Victoria Beckham the sulky looking mare. I read that she has 14 engagement rings which she bought over the years worth £9 million. You can't have more than one engagement ring you stupid misery-puss.


Also really TA'd about arrogant 'celebrities' who never shut up about how much money thay have. Trump for instance, McGregor and Mayweather, Charlie Sheen. Great role-models for the chisellers

Not the first time you ended up with a sprained wrist after an hour on the internet, I'd opine.

I was hanging around the house waiting for a courier. I suspected he would arrive between 1-2 as that's when I missed him yesterday due to work.

I swear he did not knock. My downstairs bedroom is 10 paces from the front door, no music, no headphones, I was reading wikipedia.

The only reason I knew he was there was I heard the letterbox where he put the "sorry we missed you bla bla" notice. I rang outside, flagged him down as he was driving off and got my package. No way he knocked, if I can hear the letterbox I can hear a knock on the door and he did not

This happened me before with An Post but it wasn't them this time.

Same happened to me. I was home that day anyway and had the text that it would be delivered today.
Started to wonder so checked the tracker - “left in a secure location.” i.e thrown on the doorstep in full view of anyone walking by. Definitely didn’t knock!

If it's an online banking account for a "normal" bank, just drop into one of their branches or phone them, they probably have to set you up themselves on their systems before you can access anything.
