Things That Trivially Annoy You.

Nearly impaled by the umbrella of a young one earlier not looking where she was going whilst on the phone.

Creeped out then later on by a weirdo who felt the need to ask a pretty girl standing minding her own business if she knew of somewhere good to get a hair cut. Asked her a couple times more, to the extent where she was backing away defensively, when he realised she didn't speak english. Yet I didn't see him ask anyone else the same question. What a chat up line!

Just an excuse to get them talking, before badgering them with all sorts of nonsense. Similar tactics as employed by scumbags over the years to engage people, suss them out and/or throw them off guard.

I've seen plenty of dirtballs use the "have ya got the time / any smokes bud / does the 69A stop here" as some sort of an icebreaker before robbing or fighting with someone.

Had a scumbag ask me for a lighter at the bus stop today, when I said no, he turned around and took out his own

Unholy Soul LP. I bought it on the same day The Wedding Present played the SFX on the Seamonsters tour. 15/05/91.

Recently the public health nurse told my mam she doesn't approve of dogs being in the house with my granny living there.

My gran is turning 100 soon. She's lived with dogs since she was a baby. But this woman thinks ONE HUNDRED YEARS later they are a danger to her health!!

She got an earful from my mam. The dogs give her great comfort. She has Alzheimer's and the dogs are fantastic company and affection and something for her to focus on that she doesnt have to make coherent conversation with.

Gender reveal parties.

I was parked at the side of the road and indicating right to join the queue of traffic that was at a stand still beside me. The bltch behind me was doing that annoying edging up the arse of the car in front of her, god forbid there would be a minuscule amount of room for me to squeeze in. You’re alright love it’s a car I’m driving not a Rice Krispie. Anyway persistent as I am I managed to tuck myself in ahead of her, not before she blew the bejaysus out of her horn at me. At the next junction I stopped and let every single car that was waiting in the slip road out, must have been about twelve in total, just to plss off the gowl behind me. Yes I am a petty bltch but IDGAF

TAed that we don't officially adopt alternate turn / zipper merging into our driving laws.

Was it for a new kid, or did your gf's bro have a sex change?

inforfun

Yeah.... was struggling a bit with the description of who had that party.
But obviously he didnt have a sexchange and it is his wife who is pregnant.
Although nowadays, guys apparently are all of a sudden pregnant then as well.

Only discovering bird sh1t on the washing after it was on the line, in the tumble dryer and brought upstairs.

I am taking a probiotic and the instruction is to take it 30 mins before eating. I'm bloody starving waiting for it to be time to eat

Someone in work had one, apparently the MO is you go for a scan, find out the sex of the kid - and don't open it.

Take it to a bakers who makes a cake with either pink or blue sponge and then you get everyone together and cut it.

The most pointless exercise EVER imo!!!!!!

Stray satellite dish in my lawn. As if I don't have enough junk to get rid of. Probably just missed my car too.

Saw the first arsehole with a set of antlers on the car today.

Cretin.

TWAT at a busy petrol station at lunchtime parks at the last available petrol pump then goes straight into the shop and buys a coffee - no fuel purchase, whilst ignoring the parking spaces available elsewhere on the forecourt for non-fuel shoppers.

Irish Independent: Timeline: When did public favour turn so dramatically against Meghan Markle?

Leaving aside the question of why this on an Irish newspaper website today: don'cha think it's a little hyperbolic? The lady is a go-getting Yank, a Type A personality, so it's unrealistic to expect there to be absolutely no friction between her and the rest of England. One positive headline and things will be back to "normal" again. :rolleyes:

I read that "timeline" and I'm still none-the-wiser. So someone gets their feathers ruffled and blabs to the press. It'll blow over.
