Things That Trialvilly Annoy You.

I have a tale of queue-jumpers but that’s not actually what I’m most trivially annoyed about.

I was in Centra just now. There was a guy being served, a teenager in front of me at the top of the queue and three people behind me. The teenager’s friend joined the back of the queue and Teenager says “go in in front of me there” to his friend. His friend brazenly jumps the queue. Of course, it was self-serving for the top-of-the-queue teenager so they’d be out quicker.

However, I am mostly annoyed at myself for saying nothing. People get away with that shit because others let them away with it. And as teenagers, it’s a good time for them to learn a lesson, early in life. But, nope, muggins here just stewed instead. :rolleyes:

Actually fuck it, no, the queue-jumping part is just as irritating. How oblivious and entitled are some people. Yeah, go ahead there, good lad. We all love queuing. :rolleyes:

I am seething with rage at the Christmas lights on the stairs. I must have spent the guts of an hour trying to get them off from the bottom of the banister and nothing I do untangles them. And I don't want to give up as that's giving in to them. I'm this close to cutting the ba$tards off with the scissors and it's taking all that's in me not to lie on the floor kicking and screaming. A$$hole lights

Life is too short. Cut them. Maybe plug them out first though!

I’m currently 8 months pregnant. Went shopping today for pyjamas and the like for my hospital stay. As I stood waiting to cross the street my paper bag ripped and my stuff landed on the ground. My mobility at the moment is, shall we say, limited and as I bent down, none too gracefully, to gather my stuff I became aware of a group of teenage girls beside me, sniggering.... while I’m wobbling on my hunkers trying to pick sh1t penny’s jammies and giant knickers back into the ripped bag. Eventually I got back to my feet and gave them a death stare, muttering “a***oles” under my breath.

TA and more than a tad depressed to think that society has become so uncaring, unhelpful, rude and everyone is just out for themselves.

I have a chest infection. (Annoying). Was feeling sore and sorry for myself and decided to get on with feeding the dogs so I could just sit down and relax for the evening.

So fed them and was about to let them outside when I remembered one of my dogs hurt her paw (annoying) and has a sock thing on it and I didn't want it to get wet so I started to rig up a cover with a bin bag but meanwhile my other dog had an accident on the mat. (Annoying). Totally not her fault, her medication makes her really struggle to hold her pee and I should have let her out before I started making the cover for the other dogs foot but I'm an idiot. (Annoying).

So I had to let her out. Then put the mat in the wash and mopped the floor (annoying) before making the cover for the other dogs paw and letting her out too.

Then as I go to walk away I somehow knock a big glass bottle and it smashes everywhere. (Annoying) So I start the clean up and as I stand up I whack my head off the island...

Annoying!!!!

And now ages later I'm still finding bits of glass.... Yeah you guessed it. Annoying!

(Sorry the way I wrote this might be TA for others! )

Kept losing my good earphones so just started buying cheap ones, but they keep breaking

I'm tired, I'm achy, I have a toothache, my throat is sore and I'm out of chocolate.

I don't like how 2020 is going so far.

Bought a top in Penneys last weekend. Tried it on today and don't like it so decided to return it. Can I find the receipt? Can I fairycakes! €17 down the drain

Try anyway, if it still has the tag on they may give you credit back or let you swap it for something else.

You can exchange without a receipt if that's any help.

The ad on tv for Canestan,it seems to be on during every break.It would actually give you an itch.

I hear you. I'm considering buying airpods because I listen to my phone when walking and the cord keeps breaking. I have the phone sticking out of my jacket pocket but the cord keeps breaking because it gets bent. It's happened with the expensive ones so I got cheap ones but the sound quality was crap and they broke anyways :rolleyes: I've never used airpods and have a fear they'll just fall out and I'll lose them when cycling. Do they actually stay in?

It still has the tag attached, but they won't give a refund or even an exchange anymore without a receipt

Probably to deter people on the rob returning things they "bought". This is why we can't have nice things!

That's exactly the reason. A friend of mine works there and told me. Staff themselves can't even get a refund now without a receipt.
Scum ruining it for genuine eejits like me who lose things!

Well, if you come into the door with a Penney bag and the top into it, they won't be able to say you stole it... Either way, they'd have to check the CCTV to "prove you're lying!

This annoyed me so much just reading about it! What a bunch of narcissistic shallow teenage bints. I just wish you had shouted a##holes at them instead of muttered lol. I'm 5 months, and already avoiding the luas because nobody ever gives up a seat and the feckin flu season heroes are sputtering and coughing all over it.

I was always getting cheap ones which kept breaking (similarly with them hanging out of my pocket), but eventually splashed out on airpods. So worth it. They stay in no problem, the case fits comfortably in your pocket, and the charge lasts a decent amount of time. If I can hold onto them for the next 6-8 months, they'll probably turn out cheaper given the amount I was spending on cr@p ones that kept breaking

Yes, also TA’d with myself that I didn’t just call them a pack of assholes out loud!
Teens will be teens I guess but I know that when I was that age, I wouldn’t have dreamt of leaving someone who was obviously struggling to pick up stuff they’d dropped, much less stand sniggering openly at them.

Now I’m TA’d that I sound like an auld one - “when I was that age.....”

I'd have told them "I'll make damn sure my child is brought up better than you lot, you bunch of gaggling geese!"

Lol, sorry The Beer Revolu! If it makes you feel any better it’s my 3rd baby.

(Also, in the antenatal world, anything over 37 is considered a geriatric pregnancy so at 39 I am old!!)

You don't owe anybody anything on social media,so don't post all that stuff online.

Apparently you can! The consultant at Holles Street informed me mines a geriatric pregnancy or something or other.

Are you sure? I saw a headline "gave birth to" admittedly didn't read the article due to all the privacy hoops you have to jump through!

I had assumed surrogate up to then.

When you decide to order a Hazelnut coffee, because it'll cheer you up a bit - and then it becomes apparent after a single sip that you were served by a lousy bastard who put only the bare minimum amount of syrup in.

...or when you order a cappuccino and they serve it with virtually no foam. What's the point? I'd have ordered a white coffee, then!

I think the medias obsession with maternal age is actually a TA of mine. Any time someone over 35 has a baby the article will mention the mothers age. In the interests of science, why then dont they also mention the fathers sperm count, how often the couple had intercourse and whether the woman had a long or short luteal phase? Anyone who has struggled with pregnancy will be all too familiar with these.

Actually the media obsession with pregnany and babies in general TAs me. "X shows off bump" (X is like 8 weeks pregnant and does not have a bump!) Or "Y spotted touching her bump too much" etc. Just feck off would you

TA the irony that pregnancy hormones are making me TA about pregnancy annoyances!

Don't forget everyone wanting to touch your tummy. It's fine the first four or five months, but as soon as I started looking like I'm smuggling a Christmas pudding under my shirt, everyone wants to pat me or rub me like I'm a statue of Buddha.

Carry one of these with you, and if anyone tries to touch you belly, show them the carving fork, stare at them with crazed eyes and tell them, "Let's see who's faster: your hand onto my belly, or this fork into your hand?"

People that stop in a car park - waiting ages for you to load your shopping and put the trolly back in order to take your spot - while blocking a line of cars behind them - usually because it's a spot close to the entrance.

Tiny bit ashamed to admit that it happened today and the woman in question had such an irritatingly impatient look on her face that I loaded the shopping into the car, locked it and decided to stroll back into the shopping centre to have a coffee.
