Things That Trialvilly Annoy You.

There is a tunnel under a railway bridge 100 meters from our house and at the end of the tunnel is a zebra crossing. Not the best location as cars speed through that tunnel.

There are also no streetlights by the crossing and just a few small lamps in the tunnel so it’s close the pitch dark

Yet again tonight someone nearly got knocked down as a speeder slapped on the breaks while the pedestrian was halfway across

TA’d at our no good lazy council who flood our letterbox with flyers on every topic but they can’t give us a streetlight or some flashing amber lights. Nobody lives there , no light will shine into a house if that was an issue

Oops long post sorry. Anyway my TA. I’ll write another email. Probably goes straight to trash

I would make a point of sending that photo to your local Co Co and get in touch with the press. It looks like a deathtrap to me.

You could save someone's life. It mightn't be a drivers' fault either, that looks a shítshow altogether, what county are we talking about?

People who overuse first names. Was on the bus home earlier and two women who clearly work together sat in front of me. One side of the conversation went thus:

"That was a long day, wasn't it Carol? Jesus I'm fierce tired Carol. Do you have your Christmas tree up yet Carol? Wait til I tell you what happened me yesterday, Carol. Carol, are you going to the Christmas party?"

And so on and so forth, ad infinitum.

I'm annoyed with......TIME....or more the fact of how quick it goes.
Sitting here inside in work and reminiscing of being younger and me and my siblings playing on my dad's back during the summer, only feels like yesterday. In the blink of an eye it's gone from having a strong dad who played with us to a frail father who we now look after.
My parents are living by themselves now, gone are the days of they having 7 children with them and the home been a hive of energy. It seems to have happened in a blink of an eye.I grew up with 5 sisters and 1 brother in a 3 bedroomed house, laughs...fights...tears...but 9 of us always there, now we very rarely spend time together, our own families have taken us over but it doesn't stop me from thinking of the great family time we had when we were younger and sometimes wishing we could go back to those times.
I'm 48 now and before people tell me I'm still young I know that but that does not stop the time going too fast. I've 3 chicks and when I look at photos from a few years ago I can't stop thinking of how the time is flying. I'm watching my chicks getting older and I'm dreading the time where I can't carry them on my back, hence I'm always messing and playing with them, cos I dread the day when I look at them and realise I'm not able too anymore. It's not right that it's going to fast.

Dam you Time!

Apologies for the rant folks...move along now.

Thats not a rant, it's a lovely way at looking at life...at least you realise and appreciate it.

Thank god I'm not the only one irritated by this. I don't know what it is that annoys me so much. Sometimes it feels like condescension or over familiarity but whatever it is, it bugs the crap out of me.

You should really just cherish the memories.

I've recently come to the realization that i don't remember most of my life and i'm only in my mid 30s. Family and friends will bring up stuff in conversation and i'll be like "oh yeah, that happened!" to myself. I have no ability to recollect things on my own and most stuff past a few weeks ago is just gone.

I'm probably going to go to my GP about it soon because i'm starting to get worried and my mam took me aside the other day and said she knew that there was something amiss with me because i was asking weird questions about a fairly major family event that i had been a part of.

Looking at houses on Daft.

I have them sorted by most recent, but every time I call the EA I get the "sorry, but that's gone sale agreed. Oh, probably last September. Oh yeah, we keep it up because you never know, the sale could fall through. Yep, there's just one button to refresh all our properties, so I hit it every few days. I'll put you on the interested list so?".

Every f*cking time.

The house i'm currently living in that i bought was up on the website for 18 months after i moved in and there properties from 10 years ago when i was house-hunting that are still there despite having people in them for years.

I know what happened here. The lady has known "Carol" to chat to for ages but forgot her name and/or never knew it and was too embarrassed to ask. So one morning she managed to find out and is now compensating...

Let the poor c*nt drive for feck's sake. And shut up while you're at it. Head is loupin enough as it is

Also. He's driving a coach today instead of the usual bus.

Every single passenger that has came on has gone and said the same thing as a result. "IS THIS A DIFFERENT BUS TODAY IS IT?"

Every single time I go into my local Dunnes Stores I end up getting delayed at the checkout by one thing or another.

Yesterday while queuing up at the express checkout where the server was on her own with a long queue of people, a manager comes along and holds up everything by interrupting her to get €150 in €10 notes.

Today is was some bint with a big fistful of money off vouchers causing a big hold up at the checkout. She was adamant that she had €27 worth of vouchers while the checkout girl said she had €22. When the back and forth bickering finally ended and the bint left I shoved all my shopping into my bags in a foul temper and stormed off. This is at least the 5th time something like this has happened in the last month. I wouldn't even bother going to the Dunnes in question anymore if it wasn't only 2 minutes from my house The Lidl is at the other side of town but I'll do most of my shopping there instead from now on. Middle aged/elderly auld wagons and s big pile of money off vouchers are a nightmare combination.

The reason why I tend to avoid Dunnes Stores completely! Every time I go in I get stuck behind someone with a fistful of money off vouchers for different dates, trying to figure out which ones to use. That or the cashier saying to them, "you're up to 87 now, if you spend another 13 you can get a tenner off" - cue the person wandering off to continue shopping. I also think the whole voucher thing is a complete false economy, designed to get people to spend more. it alone is a TA never mind the f*cking stress it causes for everyone.

+1000 - drives me insane ! Reems and reems of vouchers being produced, some out of date, fights about said dates, wandering off around the ailes for 10 minutes to pick up something else to bring total up to €50 or €100. Stupid! Yer all paying over the odds anyway shopping in Dunnes. I rarely go in, much prefer Lidl and Aldi but Dunnes is right beside me so I run in if the weathers bad or I need milk and bread.

Apologies for the rant folks...move along now.

I know what you mean. I have amazing memories of my dad playing with us at the beach during the summer, where he would cup his hands together and bend down so we could stand on his hands (how small were our feet then?!) and jump over his shoulder into the waves. Or telling us bed time stories. They always trumped stories being read, and there would regularly be cliffhangers too. We only realised as adults that his avoidance of reading to us had something to do with his lack of formal education and his dyslexia. He is still the smartest person I know. In the last year he has had two major surgeries and a mini stroke. Still, we are lucky to have him and I am cherishing all of our time together. He has gone super soft since I told him he is going to be a granddad, and is being over protective father again, despite his age.

TA no matter how long we have our loved ones it is never enough!

Also TA being teary in work now!

Pulled a muscle in my upper back wrapping myself in a towel after my shower this morning! Wrapping myself in a towel!

Can barely lift my left arm and have tonnes of work to do, including dress the bed that my Dad's home help stripped the sheets off this morning (prior to the towel injury). Not sure how I'm going to do it.

I think it might be time to take up pilates or yoga. I'm obviously jelly on bone.

My mother the hypocrite. She is so nice to my face but literally takes every opportunity to b*tch about me behind my back. If I am such a bad person, why is she nice to me? No matter what happens... I am the bad guy and to blame. The "well you must have done something" mentality. Even yesterday, someone actually reversed into me while I was parked, and when I told her about it she said, "are you sure you weren't beeping him or aggravating him beforehand to provoke him into doing it?".

TA if I call her on it, she will do the drama queen and accuse me of being a trouble maker. She can taker her f*cking low opinion of me and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. From now on I am solely focusing on the good things in my life - my other half, our little baby on the way, my wonderful job and even more wonderful friends.

TA toxic family.

Queuing in Tesco express that has one cashier and two self service tolls occupied, one lad in front of me.
Guy comes in and grabs 4 cans of linden village and asks the guy in front if he can go ahead of us.
Seemed the answer was yes so then he asks me.
I point out I’ve only 2 items myself but he just goes ahead to the next free self service.
Got stuck trying to figure out scanning 4 cans so had to wait for help, then when that was done he had a card problem that needed more help.

Those "friends" who sit at home waiting for you to call them.

I met one in a shop recently and he said "I thought that I would have heard from you by now, about our Christmas meet up". The look on his face when I replied that I thought that I would leave it to you to do the organising this year.

He has never changed all his life.

I had a friend like that. Note past tense. I was always the one making the effort, organising things, doing the running etc. In short, being an eejit. Two years ago I bumped into her in a local shop and after talking to her decided I had just had enough and that from now on I was going to wait to see how long it took her to contact me.
Well guess what, two years on and I'm still waiting. We have a mutual friend who bumped into her recently and she said to mutual friend "I haven't heard from Rhubarb in I don't know how long. I don't know what her problem is at all. She hasn't bothered to contact me for ages"

Because, y'know, clearly it's all MY fault. My phone number hasn't changed. I still live in the same house (about ten minutes away from her as it happens) but ya know, somehow it's all MY fault for not 'bothering' to make an effort :mad:

It doesn't sell. See my last post re voyeurism. There is something wrong with people - they actually feed on other people's suffering and misery. All this "tut tut did you hear about X?" and "yes shocking for the poor family, he died screaming blah blah" - voyeuristic gossip mongers, not a shred of empathy between them.
