Things That Trivially Annoy You.

I have timed my tv viewing very badly and i still have one episode left of a season. I dont have the energy to stay up another hour.

When your mother ask you to look somebody up on Facebook.(To see a wedding/etc) she then clicks the Like button by mistake and you don't know what to do!

Since when did tv/movie trailers "drop"?

This needs to be stopped.

Medicinal purposes.

I've heard it's very good if you find yourself "ensconced" for half an hour of a morning with....eh... a face like a cowboy pulling an arrow out of his shoulder.

Awkward signoffs at the end of tv/radio news and current affairs interviews. Presenter should just say Joe Bloggs, thank you very much and then cut. Having the interviewee stutter 'my pleasure' or 'you're welcome' followed by a couple of seconds of dead air is a needless irritant.

Equally awkward sign ins.

Presenter...Mr Bendar how do you justify your position...

Bendar... Good morning Joe and thank you for having me on and good morning to your listeners....


Who in fuhhrkes name started that crud off .Completely breaks up the flow of the conversation....

Stop it...

Thought you would be a carvery lad, John.

Try to come the ‘auld soldier’ to wangle a few extra slices of bacon.

Then start paying in small denomination coins.

Love a carvery the odd time, John, especially if I’ve a head on me from excessive porter the night before. 5 types of spuds (chips,mash, roast, garlic, and croquettes) appeals to the culchie in me. Carvery is also an excellent choice as lining if going on the beer - had one each day during Cheltenham week. Can recommend The Yacht in Clontarf if in the area


Another annoyance is being served food on/in slate, timber boards and miniature shopping trolleys. Serve my food on a plate, and my drink in a glass, and fûck off with your notions.

Question: if they serve your food on a floor tile, but they take more than 5 seconds to do so, can you still eat it? :pac:

Getting a parking ticket even though you paid but the ticket slipped down the dash when the door was closed.

Do. Might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb

TA people rattling bathroom door handle when someone's in there and demanding to know if you're in there . You know I'm in here nurse . I just asked you where the bathroom is. I was only there for a minute so what could she think/be worried I was doing/have happened to me ?

The bathroom is the only place you can find any peace in a hospital .

Oh another one . Big TA for me . Adult children apologising for their elderly parent when they weren't doing any harm, just trying to chat to someone (me in this case)

Banana-flavoured anything. Including bananas. Gross.

The mean one at the deli counter. 3 girls working there, 2 lovely and pleasant and will fill your roll to the brim. Not the other one though. A sorry feeling getting a skinny roll where your thumb and middle finger touch while you hold it.

What did I do to upset you, mean deli woman?

Sharing food at all, but especially in a restaurant, annoys me. One of my sisters loves to do that.

"Oh, yours looks lovely, can I try a bit?", and it's snatched before you can say anything. If I have to let somebody try anything off my plate, they've to do so before I start. After that, NO!

People in open plan offices who have their desk landline phone ringer volume turned up ridiculously loud.

The woman who sits behind me has her phone ringer volume up so loud it could wake the dead.....she is less than a foot awake from the thing :mad:

I forgot this is Friday . I have to be nice to someone I dislike. All weekend . And he doesn't reciprocate with the niceness .

Only 2 days 'til Monday. Deep breaths.

I used play a lot and tournaments would go on all thru the night into the next day and you'd know which players were "horsing" around very quickly

One thing I'm a little tired of it people doing these Darkness into light walks and posting all this stuff online saying it's okay not be okay/etc.
They then go off and threat people very badly from bullying/stealing/put downs/etc. Now anybody can do the odd thing or say the wrong thing from time to time.

I probably shouldn't post without a ta, but I don't understand ...would it not be a disadvantage for playing /gambling? When mental clarity is required ?

Now I have one . Is professionalism dead? The things I hear about peoples personal business that I didn't wish to hear! A lot of it ''told to 'Paddy' in strict confidence ''. Then promptly broadcast . Eg. a mental health problem for which someone is under the care of the psychologists at work. That's a major thing to be gossiping about .

You're ''stuck up'' for not participating. Fine!

Stopped by Daffodil Day collectors and picked up a pin (3 euro). Handed the ladies a 50 euro note and one of them asked me "How much change do you want?" I was a bit gobsmacked...mumbled 30 euro and came away feeling peeved. Am I overreacting?

castletownman

Not a bit.

One thing that bugs me is charities assuming you don't want change when you hand them notes for whatever they are selling.

IT'S MY MONEY.

You are lucky I contributed anything at all.
