Things That Trivially Annoy You.

NIMAN

How threads go off on tangents so quickly.

For example, take the current one in AH about how much you spend before buying anything

Start reading, all grand. Load of figures etc, what people are spending

Then you think, I'll jump to current last page, and there you have people arguing over what exactly defines a loan or where they got their degree!

The rash of weird e-mails continues. Today one colleague informed us of his intention to gather "...all the reports in one foul swoop", while another is "... not opposed to the idea percy..."

A thousand times this. These people harp on about how they didn't have this or that and times were great. Well if they were so great, why do you now have internet and indoor plumbing and every other convenience of modern living? Because the old ways were not the best ways ya hypocrite! And no, children did not have more respect "back in the day". Man it feels good to get that off my chest

Oh the respect thing gets on my wick.I had a row wiht somebody on fb the other day about that.And then they where waxing lyrical bout going to the pub and the parents drink driving home.And no seatbelts.And shure arent we all grand.

I had to leave,they where doing my nut in.

I got a letter from my Solicitor about an outstanding balance, as far as I was concerned there wasn't. I was passing so I called in and explained how and when I had paid, I had receipts..
Amazing she let me off 400 + euros with no hassle..Hmmm.

Rang Dyson Dublin number, got through to English call centre, it is a got my email, address blah blah blah, I explained fault. He informs me 'I have ran it through diagnostics and I'm unable to find the problem !! You asked me 2 questions and thats diagnostics ? Then tried to sell me a motor and battery for 170 Euros...F@@k away..

I wanted to join the local GAA club and gym, rang, no answer. Sent a message, no reply...

And don't get me started about the Childrens hospital investigation and the line at the end of Terms of Reference that no on will be responsible or accountable..
No one ever is...

Rant over...

Don't know if it helps, but it could be a "lost in translation" thing, especially if the person at the till wasn't Irish - in some countries they have a little tray where people place their money and where the person at the till puts the change, as it's seen as bad manners to hand people money directly.

I learned this when I was in Krakow, I thought they were being rude and they must have thought I was being rude

Got to train station at 730pm. My car won't start. Battery flat. Breakdown Assistance will take 60-90 minutes to aarive. My NCT retest is at 940pm, 20 minutes drive away.

It's freezing, I'm starving and dying for a slash.
This will go down to the wire.

Plus, the hairdryer would warm up your head and you wouldn't feel as cold any more.

This is a good point. I sat by the fire for a bit to dry it, but I will have to use the hairdryer soon

Worse is when you have something important, like a key for a door or a padlock, and you say to yourself "right, I'm going to put this in such a place so I won't forget where it is"......and then forgetting where you put it.

Happens to me all the time. Usually re-find the things by accident.

Also when you tell someone that you've lost something and they say "Where did you put it?".. Just f off.
