Things That Trialvilly Annoy You.

I forgot to put out the bins before I left the house this morning. No panic, I thought, sure the bin lorry never comes till about 1pm. I got home at 11.30 and could see the neighbours black bin had been collected. The brown bin stayed out all day and clearly missed that collection too as it was still half full this evening. Fuppin typical, the one week I forget and 2 weeks till they are emptied again

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Daft.ie and argos mobile websites - just what is the point? They have half the functionality and are absolutely infuriating to use.

Reserved Santa stuff in Argos recently mobile site was a pain to use. Pity because being able to reserve stuff, check if it’s in stock is a brilliant Argos feature and a reason I use it. Took me ages to get the stuff ordered very cumbersome I nearly gave up.

I listen to a gaming podcast,its entertaining ,the host claims to be a games
journalist .He works in a office for some big company in the tech sector.
Reading out news storys from a few gaming websites and talking about games
you played does not suddenly make you a journalist .
No more than singing a few songs in karoke at the local pub makes you a professional singer .

Most charity shops have a pack of ten xmas cards you can buy for a few euro.
Theres 1000,s of podcasters out there, most of them make no money,
and theres no ads on them.
They are made by people who like to talk and are interested in some random
subject.

There’s a job that I really want to apply for, it would be ideal for me and I’d love it. I think I meet all the criteria, but there’s one catch, one of the criteria is a full driving license for at least 2 years. I have mine a year and a half

Is it something that comes up often?

If it isn't I'd chance it.

Not that I’m aware of. And it’s one of those jobs that could be a good stepping stone into the industry I want. I’m thinking about applying anyway, the worst they can say is no.

Someone I know who has done many hirings said to me once that men typically look at a job spec and if they meet about 80% of the requirements they’ll apply, whereas women will see one requirement they don’t have and think that rules them out.

If you’re a good fit for the job minor details like that will be overlooked by the employer. It sounds like they’re not cutting out younger applicants by saying for example 5/6 years, but also don’t want people on a provisional either.

Definitely apply. My job requires 'full clean driving licence'. I have 3 points and it didn't make any difference.

In case anyone is wondering, my 'crime' was doing 57km in a 50km zone :rolleyes:

Absolutely apply. You come across as very loyal, hardworking and competent and would be an asset to any company. A few months short shouldn’t be a problem especially when you have no points. Good luck.

NIMAN

eBay.

I have many moans about the site, but my recent one is sellers telling you when something is posted when it can't be.

Often I would get a message at 10pm or 11pm on a Saturday or Sunday night to say something I have bought has just been posted. Obviously a lie.

Latest one, I bought an item of clothing on the site. I got email to say its been posted. Next day get another email to say they have had to refund me as they have none in stock.

So they posted it even though they had none.

MuffinTop86

Websites with “check stock in store” functions that TELL LIES.

Bought a dress in Warehouse that looked good online. I have a graduation to attend on Wednesday so it’s touch and go if the bloody thing will be delivered on time. The website said the store had none so I ordered Wednesday night. I go into the store yesterday and there it is,

I try it on to see if I made a mistake in not ordering two sizes. Basically it fits if I don’t undo the zip and just shimmy it on over my chesticles.
Disaster. Also, it’s nice, but not as nice as it looked online

It's especially annoying in Personal Issues where someone only reads the op and then posts asking questions the op has already answered in the thread.

Nah when the OP gives about 1/4 of relevant details people start to respond in good faith based on facts at hand....the OP then gives a few more details which on reflection makes the first responders responses seem abit harsh. They then in turn start getting attacked from people coming late into the thread. ah you gotta love boards

Probably haven't explained that very well but anyway.

I know exactly what you meant and I agree.

People who pull up ANYWHERE and turn on hazard lights and that means F**k everyone else.

This afternoon took the biscuit.

So theres a busy supermarket and obviously it follows that the car park is equally busy especially near the main door.
So theres a chippers on the left as you exit the car park.
This afternoon I went to the supermarket to buy Pringles and it took 30 minutes to exit the car park after.
Why? Because on the way out there is a left lane and right lane for cars exiting the car park.
So some eejit had pulled into the spot where left lane exiters go, and hit his hazards on. Where was he? In the chippers!!! Waiting on his take away.
So meanwhile there are 100 free spaces he could have parked in, vacant. I said busy but it's a massive car park. Massive.
So now people trying to go left are hitting the horn at the empty car blocking their lane. And the guys turning right are slow to move off anyway because they have to wait for a break in traffic from both directions, while letting in the occasional "victim" from the left lane.
So I spent 30 minutes stuck in a car park. Not just me but everyone. Some mums with kids probably doing their heads in, because lets face it we've all been there.
But all this mayhem so that some inconsiderate dickhead can avoid the rain while he gets his chipper feed.

The selfishness of people sometimes is miles past me. Just miles beyond

Was in Smyths this morning and it was like every kid there knew I had a headache ... every flippin toy that had a “Try Me” button was playing. My poor head!!!

Cant hear any song lyrics these days.
Wtf do they be saying.

Its not deafness either.
Theyre just incomprehensible. And i have to listen to the radio in work. Its headwrecking.

And another thing why does rap get a pass on absolute filth, yet others dont.

There was a specsavers ad that was changed from a guy ripping off his cacks to ripping off his shirt.

There was a song with lyrics referring to not needing drugs which was edited to muffle the word drugs.
But later changed back.

In both cases after the offending underpants and drugs within 5 mins the same station is blasting out rap songs with lyrics about double d tits and killing people and all manner of suggestive rap lyrics about shagging and murder.

But its ok because its rap.

People who post on Facebook stuff such as ''What time does the local Lidl/Tesco close at Tonight? even tough they've had the same opening hours with years and they could Google it.

Try a long taxi trip with the driver blasting crude 'F-U' lyrics in your ear the entire time... More than a trivial annoyance.

Sia in this is one of the main culprits.

I had to go and look up the lyrics because I could not understand a single word of what she was saying. That's when I realised that she skipped all the consonants.


On the same note (:pac:), lyrics that are perfectly understandable, but when you look for the full text on a website they have been written down incorrectly.

RhubarbCrumble

Overuse of the word 'super'. As in "This is a super quick meal to cook". "I was super tired". "I was a super long time in the queue".

Just no need for it.

Adults and their oversized scooters in Tesco.For added smugness he had a helmet on his head with a camera.

Perhaps try sites like Jobs.ie or Indeed.ie, they might have the same vacancy up there and you can apply through them. TA recently is our fcuked up public transport system in Galway. The 5 PM bus from Salthill some days becomes the 5.30 or 5.40 PM bus due to our brutal traffic.

I had bought some light fittings to put up in the attic.
I then progressed to put it on the long finger for weeks until today when I got around to start - only to discover they didn't fit and I now have to start everything over again.

Arrgh, if I started when I first intended to I would have found out sooner and fixed it sooner and have had it done by now.

I cope badly with the fact that my dad looks like Boris Johnson's identical twin (besides the hair colour, by dad is a fading ginger). Whenever I see Boris, he looks like my dad, they have a similar build, very similar gestures.
My sister and I are very uncomfortable with this knowledge, we can't unsee it now that we realised it.

Because they want companies to “reach out” and offer their services for free in exchange for the influencer saying the place is amazing. The bigger ones do this for furniture, clothes, everything. It’s desperate looking.

Oh will try this! I did send them an email to say it wasn’t working so hopefully that’ll do some good
