She's not wrong.
Tried to watch the first one - booooooooringggggggg!

Never looked at another one.

How old is she? Is she useful about the house? Does she eat much?

You're not really selling her.
I suspect you really want to keep her.

Give me a shout when she's over the Frozen thing.

Thinking about things and coming to the realisation that if things get more serious with the guy I’ve been seeing and if he asks me to be his girlfriend or whatever that somehow it’ll get back to my ex and I just know that he’ll text me, cribbing about how I don’t want him back and making me feel bad about it/generally ruining the excitement of a potentially new relationship.


Also TA’d that this thought has kept me up till almost 4am :mad:

Just forget your ex. After the end of your relationship he has zero rights to interfere with your live. He sounds like a control freak to me or someone who can’t accept simple facts. If you have feelings for the new guy just go ahead and ignore your ex.:pac:

There is a difference between meeting your ex for some craic as you have a bit of shared past and him interfering with your life. Look forward...;)

From a single guy who can still meet most of his exes every few years.

Incongruencies, be they real, perceived or in the case of this thread - optical ones -
I just can't get my head around any annoyance being trivial. Trivial things that annoy
me, well that's something else and I've a long list of them.

I'm going to go with trying to think of things that trivially annoy me as one of the things
that trivially annoys me

I had such great plans for today, but woke up to late, so now I'll probably not be able to sleep tonight either.

Reminded of a TA last night. Came home to find the wife watching a Nigel Slater cookery programme. It's either cookery or home improvements with her- how about getting off your ass and actually cooking.

But anyway, it is a TA of mine that all these chefs (Nigella, Jamie Oliver, the whole gambit) always tell us how the dish they have just cooked is "superb" "amazing" "fantastic".

They take a taste...silence and look into the camera: "That tastes amazing. You can really get the coolness of the mint and the texture of the aubergines..**** **** knob knob. Fantastic."

Just once, I want Mary Berry or whoever to look into the camera and go:


"Do you know what? That is a bit ****e."

Here's something that *inexplicably* drives me nuts:

this new habit of people saying "I want to say...", instead of "I think it was..."

example:

person a: "When did you first realize you were an absolute moron?"
person b: "I can't be certain... I want to say... 2014?"

Bredabe

Drives me crazy, just say I think or I dont know. 'I wanna say', means nothing.

It must be back on media again to be back in common usage, a us import which is supposed to wire the brain to its 'previously unknown or unvoiced wants and needs'.

There was supposed to be a multi quote there, but doesnt seem to have 'taken'.

TA at the fact I keep misreading and misspelling words today.



I was reading about the plaque for the guy who slipped on ice but I thought it said plague.

I saw a headline about a man with the surname Bonner and I thought it said Boner.

In a work email inviting everybody into a lotto pool I said "Thanks for the invite but I don't want to be part of the poo".

And in an email to my boss in America I was attempting to say "did you ask the customer?" but actually asked him "did you ass the customer?"

I need sleep.

+1 for the dawdlers on narrow paths.

I know it makes me a horrible person... but on occasion I have gently nudged these sidewalk saboteurs out of my way and murmured not soo pleasantries at just about audible level as I did so.

Also pathway dwadlers who smoke or eat/drink whilst delaying my progress... deserve to go straight under the nearest passing bus.

[Disclaimer : I don't condone violence of any sort and would never nudge old people, the mentally infirm or young kids]

Wow. I’m a young dawdler because cancer has damaged my pelvis and spine. Getting nudged out of the way by somebody would honestly make me want to curse the sky more than usual and my “curse the sky” levels are at an elevated level as it is. I don’t know whether I take up the whole path either. I’m just one person but sometimes people are with me and walking alongside. I’m 35 with no outward signs of illness currently. It’s okay to nudge me? Better work on looking more ill for people. Make it more performative. :rolleyes:

Yes, what you describe is a horrible thing to do. Which I guess you have acknowledged, in fairness.

See this is the thing, I don’t care what he thinks, I just really don’t want him texting me whining and complaining that I wouldn’t take him back and then got involved with someone else. We’ve rehashed it more than once, there’s nothing left to say about me and my ex’s relationship, it’s in the past and that’s where I want it to stay.


Although there is a sense here that I’m putting the cart before the horse because I’ve nothing to “worry” about just yet :pac:

Block him and then he can't be txting ya cribbing, block him everywhere actually and don't be lying awake till 4 am worrying over it either, that's letting him have power over you.

People who don’t keep their dogs on leads in the park. I was followed by a ratty looking Pomeranian who snarled at my dog for about 2k of my walk. When I’d done the full circle I saw his owner sitting in the car having a fag calling him back. That’s grand love you sit and enjoy yourself and your view of your annoying twit of a dog torturing everyone in sight while you’re there on your arse

I’ve deleted him everywhere but I imagine word would get back through one of his friends somehow. He still has my phone number so maybe I should just block him and then he can’t be annoying me.

Gettin ont' bus really trivially annoys me.

There'd be folk getting off 'nd folk getting on at bus stop.

Then there'd be me who knows what time it is waytin ta git on.

Well you'd think afta cupla minutes folk who be getting off wud've gotten off

But nah, there'd be people just avin' gotn ont' bus and sat dine,
nd then there'd be those what can't get on account of stragglers getn off.
That's a bigger annoyance than what trivial annoyance is:

Trivial annoyance in this sityashin is me there ont' first 'r second step nd person in front of me avin'
to reverse back off an account of aforementioned stragglers.
And person; who's not at fault int this scenahrio, wat has to get off bus to let straggler off, is 'oweva
at fault regardin' trivial annoyance cos they always just reverse, and I mean nigh on always, reverse-
'alf sidle without lookin' back onto moi who's ont' first or second step as preeviously stayted.

'nd there's never no apology or owt like tha'.... In fact a result for me is if they; the person what's obliged
to get off bus afore they're even on don't look at me like i'm the c$&t.

Alot of it is common sense but it's shocking how clueless some people can be.

That can be from being brought up in a house with no money worries or brought up in a house with no money to worry about.

I would love to see some programme rolled out for transition year students that goes through the basics of the tax system, how to do a household budget (home economics covers this abit) ,how interest rates work, I don't know some other "life skills", way arou a drill, a sewing kit etc.

It's just a personal belief of mine that some people chooses to be clueless regarding things when they want to be.
There's more information available to people ever than before but they've to go on TV to be told to get there moment of fame.
There's also no need to basically make the same series over and over again.

I've no issue really with things being taught in schools but at what point do you stop.

Someone has probably mentioned this one already but what absolutely drives me to the brink of murder is approaching an ATM and just as I get to the thing someone pops out of nowhere and reaches the machine before me. So Im already pissed off and wondering, where the F**k did they even come from, but then it appears as though this is the first time they've ever used an atm because theyre taking forever to even press any buttons. So eventually they get their cash......but then theyve selected a statement because if they'd just gotten cash they'd be gone by now. Which they arent. So a statement is printed, relieved and inspected and Im thinking ok, they'll f**k off now that the transaction has well and truly been completed. But no, theyre still standing there staring at the machine. Im thinking, what they hell is going on here? Then another card is produced, and the whole shenanigans is repeated. A two carder. And Im thinking, if I had been just 10 seconds earlier........and then a third card is produced. Im ready to gouge out this persons eyes with their own bank cards.

I agree with you regarding their moment of fame!

However I have come across people who are frighteningly clueless, and while yes there is more accessibility to information than ever before it can be very daunting, some of the language used can sometimes be very heavy on jargon etc.

I think a basics explored in school would be a good starting point a high level of how the tax system works, mortgages, interest rates, life assurance, pensions etc, by no means am I suggesting exam level standard just the "cliffs notes" version, so when people need to do their own research they have a starting point.

Sure he'll explain it all to us using a salt and pepper shaker, maybe a few sugar cubes too

I totally understand where you coming from and a while ago I thought it was a fantastic idea but just in my experience those who don't want to learn will always have an excuse. If it was taught in school they'd be crying saying the teacher was horrible in school and that's why I spent all my money on clothes because I did't know how to save.

Don't worry. I won't be watching. I had enough of him.

I knocked a carrier bag off of a kitchen chair and the bottle of red wine in it shattered. The only small consolation was it wasn't for me. It was fun trying to keep the small child and the dog out of it as I cleaned it up. The dog was trying to lick it while she was delightedly saying it looked like I'd murdered someone.

Another thing that trivially annoys me is if i'm standing/waiting somewhere on my own (bus stop for example) in the great wide open as it were and a car happens to be going by slowly at the time with more than one person in it, and it's usually the passenger that's the culprit here, as often as not though not exclusively a middleaged / auld wan type bint.

So bint takes it upon herself to stare at leff as if it's the greatest entitlement ever bestowed upon her.

When clocked by myself, she will usually use her imaginary privilege to keep staring like i'm a flippin dancing bear for a good 2 seconds more before she somewhat sheepishly looks to what I suppose is her husband, almost for validation...

Busstops and Bints.... :mad:
