Things That Trialvilly Annoy You.

Gamer Bhoy 89

Some of the students, in the school I work in, vandalise the changing rooms a lot.

But one of the most annoying things they do is they fill up the changing-room bins full of water and when I go to empty it, oh the carnage..........I know I should really look before I do it, but who expects it to be half full of water?

They seem to shove it under the shower head and they turn it on, leave it, then slide it back to where it was.

Arseholes

There also doesn't seem to be any progress made to decrease racism/homophobia etc.

Some of the graffiti is the worst.

During pride month/week (or whenever it is they celebrate it) they were handing out love-heart stickers that were coloured in the LGBT rainbow colours. I already knew it was a bad idea before I saw what I knew I'd see eventually - one of the stickers was found on a bathroom wall, with a big black 'X' over it, and the words "Kill All F*ggots" written under it.

They're an absolute jolly bunch...............................and the best part? Couldn't get the ink off.

We're not allowed ink-remover because it contains alcohol. Counter-productive but there you go:- two trivial annoyances and one really bad one in a single post. Happy Xmas.

Three pink and three brown is too much

People on public transport at rush hour who:

- don't remove their backpacks
- lean against the pole so others can't grab a hold of it
- ignore or "pretend not to see" the pregnant / old / injured person lest they have to stand and give someone less able their seat
- almost walk through you when disembarking the train
- push onto the train while others are trying to get off

They should all die horrible deaths.

These two are always tall people in my experience.

I'm small so backpacks are always in my face...I also wear hearing aids and I'm petrified a swipe of a bag will reef them out.

Also I can't reach the dangly things, you can, feck off the pole and lift your arm you lazy fecker!

You've probably spent most of the day boasting about your gym workout but you can't stand straight and raise your arm

I generally hate American sitcoms. There's something so unnatural about them - I can't pinpoint what it is. I'd much prefer British sitcoms over it. However, my exception, and guilty pleasure, is Friends. That show makes me laugh way more than I should.

My TA for the day.

Steppy was recently after cleaning the kettle out with baking soda because he's complaining of a weird metallic taste off his tea. My TA is I never got a weird taste before, but I certainly fúcking do now!!! Thanks for ruining my coffee time!

And I have one more day of work tonight before the holidays start. I reckon the kids will make a holy hellhole of that school because they can't contain the excitement of being off for the next 2 weeks, so let's wreck the place. I might be back on this thread by the end of the day lol

The general incompetence of DPD and the supplier company I ordered from. The company take my money straight away upon completion of order. They fail to tell me there are delays. A week later, it still has not been dispatched. When I ask why they did not inform me of this delay at the time of ordering so that I could source the goods elsewhere, they simply offer me a ten euro refund. Yes, just throw money at the situation instead of answering the question. So, initially they debited my account 80euro for the order. This left my account straight away. Then, when they decided to refund me the 10 euro, they re-debited my account 70 euro (the 80 minus 10) and refunded the original 80... except the refunded amount has not been credited yet. So, I am essentially 150euro down and still have no product.

Several days later, I am told the goods are dispatched and given a tracking number for DPD who have the be the most incompetent shower of people ever to walk the face of the earth. The tracker says "new delivery date agreed". When I query this with them on online chat, they of course ask for the tracking number. When I provide this they tell me "that is a UK tracking number" - so how can I see that the parcel is in Athlone in Ireland with this number and they can't? How can I as a customer have access to more accurate information about my parcel status than the parcel company has?

Sick people everywhere. Coughing, snorting, hacking, blowing, wheezing. Touching door handles, seats, bars on the luas, bus, petrol dispensers etc. Nobody washes their hands or even uses a hanky anymore. This is WHY there are so many sick people!!!! Do people just not take care of themselves anymore? Wash their hands? Cover their face with a scarf? Try to avoid other sick people? I would say at any given time there are over 50% of the population sniffling. Am truly sick of it.

When I get the train for my daily commute I make sure to sit in a back row seat. That way there's nobody behind me - nothing worse than sneezing and coughing from the rear.

People who eat loudly.
Some people should be took out and shot for the way they eat.ive seen Rottweilers with better table manners than some of the fcukers I’ve encountered lately.
And don’t get me started on the savages that insist on having full blown conversations while chomping down their latest meal.
It amazes me these fcukin savages have made it to adulthood without being strangled at some dinner table along the way.
Table manners and eating etiquette should be a mandatory subject in school.

Having to chase people for stuff. If I say I need something on Wednesday, I need it on Wednesday! Not late Thursday evening or Friday morning. I actually need time to work on this stuff you send me before it is submitted so if you delay until Friday evening then I will be stuck here late on Friday working on it while you flit off for your early Christmas after lunch. Cheers. :mad:

You do realise that telly is make believe so it is by definition unnatural- escapism? If they spent the day moaning about their commute or mortgage interest rates nobody would watch it.



British sitcoms? I am not sure any town is as full of drama as Eastenders or Corrie.

Bugs me too. I had a deadline with my boss to submit work by Wednesday. He received it Monday.

For a couple of my own direct reports who had to submit their work to me, I had to chase and chase and chase. I ended up having to log on Saturday to complete.

I don't carry loose change on me. Why is it my responsibility to help you round off the change you need to give me? My items came to €17.20, I gave you a €20, so give me the correct change and do your job.

Another TA that I'm gonna do on behalf of my other half, because if it was me, I'd be pissed off as well.

Mother in law ordered a new fridge from Curry's. She's 61 and has limited mobility, C.O.P.D, scoliosis, and the person on the phone to her told her that if she paid an extra few bob, the lads would install the fridge for her and take away the old fridge. So she agreed.

They arrived this week, with the new fridge, pushed it into the kitchen, and then told her "for insurance reasons, we can't take out the old fridge because we don't want to cut the pipe that's connected to it". (The new fridge requires no pipe, it has a water filler inside it already, or whatever it's called), so they didn't install the new fridge, left it in the kitchen, and left.

Other half ended up having to go to the house, cut the pipe off herself, and plug in the new fridge, then she got her nephew to help her toss the old one outside. The mother is gonna contact them for a refund because they never did what they were charging her for.

Not only was there a lack of integrity in their promise, but I also believe they just couldn't be bothered to take the old fridge out. Half the job done for more money - disgusting.. I couldn't imagine what she'd do if she had nobody there. I just think it was disrespectful and not nice at all.

If something comes to €17.20 and I have €20 plus the amount in cents then I will give it without being asked.

They sound amazing if you stick your head around the back of the screen but from the front (where, traditionally, people would sit), sound tinny and can't convery the true sound of Michael Schenker's wailing guitar. Where was the f*cking product testing?

Every day this week, I thought it was Friday, even Monday! Maybe it was because Friday is the last day of the week, and this was the last full working week of the year.

Well...tomorrow's definitely Friday (or it had better be! :pac: ).

Just curious..so what do you actually do with the change? In this instance it’s €2.80....do you just leave it behind?

My TA is the fact that daytime running light on cars only apply to the front lights...why not connect it to rear lights?

Antares35

I need to be in town for 6 15 and can't decide if I should walk or avail of the bus. Walking will be a good half hour and it is raining out. But, the bus will be full of snivelling people, no room to even stand and will probably move slower.

Actually, I think I have talked myself into walking! TA sh*t options :o

Because cars usually drive forwards and don't usually reverse in to things at high speed?

Cars with DRLs are new enough to have a light sensor and should be programmed to override the DRL setting and switch to main lights (front and back) if light levels are low.

If it's anything less than a euro I'll usually stick it into the nearest charity box. Or I'll say keep the rest. It all depends.

Thanks for that.
My point is, that (some) people are forgetting to switch lights on because they have DRLS...and if you are driving in inclement weather, it makes it difficult to see the car in front ...so it would, IMO be better if both front and rear were DRLS..

I don’t have DRLS on my car, but I have my lights on maybe 95% of the time.
As a courtesy to other road users...and to help me stay alive.

I'd drive with my lights on most of the time too but I be concerned that with DRLs front and back too many idiots would drive with DRLs on at night thinking they were properly lit up.

Maybe front and rear DRLs which come on whenever the engine is on and controlled with a light sensitive switch to main lights (front and back) with a manual override to main lights would work best.

First TA:
Had a package due for delivery with nightline.

I see that said package made it to Dublin, then to Cork, then for reasons unknown it went to a Parcel Motel Depot in Dublin.

Called PM and I was kept on hold till the phone disconnected. Called Nightline who own PM, and I was told they can do nothing about it. All their communication with PM goes through the same email address that normal people use.

For f*ck sake, you own this company, why do you not have a dedicated line to their customer service!!

Second TA:
out for a few Christmas pints with friends. Queueng up for a pint (TA in itself) and the fella in front can't get served. He's wearing a Christmas jumper. Bartender says no 12 pubs and no Christmas jumpers allowed (OTT Imo) So yer man goes on a rant then with the bartender, all the while I'm twiddling my thumbs trying to get served.
