Things That Trialvilly Annoy You.

honeybear

Lingering on my first coffee of the day. I may well enjoy it because I've run out of milk.

I made the mistake of clicking on some daily quiz and now there's quizzes showing up in my feed all the time. They always say things like 'the most difficult questions imaginable!' and '95% of people couldn't answer a single question correctly'.

Then the questions are practically:
Which of these is the first letter of the alphabet?
A. A
B. Z
C. P
D. T

Or like:
Where does a goldfish live?
A. A radiator
B. A car engine
C. A fish tank.
D. A shoe.

Ok maybe those are made up but seriously if 95% of people can't pass these things we're all fecked. But of course they can and it's all lies and I'm the idiot for clicking on them.

When someones birthday goes on for nearly a month. The build up, the event, the aftermath, and milking it dry. Now fair enough if you're 18 or 21, but fcuk sake, 33 has no significance. Cop yourself on. It's the attention it craves I suppose.

People saying "them's the rules". Also saying "sat" when they mean "sitting". E.g "I was just sat there minding my own business". Blatant misuse of English! Deliberately saying "then" instead of "than" e.g. "it costs more then it used to". Oh god just people.

It's creeping in here from people watching those brain rotting soaps every night.

What’s worse is the horrible scum got everyone’s hopes up by playing with a man down for the whole second half.

Two weeks in a row. They really are giving everyone the “two fingers”.

Was in CEX buying an old PS2 game. The box was for the Normal release but they gave me the disc from the platinum release. ☹️

I remember buying Skyrim in CEX and having a similar thing happen only it benefited me. Paid for vanilla and they put the GOTY disc in with all DLC.

On topic, Dancing with the Stars. Don't get the appeal. Annoying presenters, z list celebrities dancing badly.

I've done an epic food prep session for the week ahead and my kitchen looks like it's been burglarized. The dishwasher will be looking for double time when finished.

It was the PS3 version of PS4 classics.

Got a call on the landline and a reaseach person wanted to do a survey on politics. I know newspapers outsource these to agencies who do this sort of work.

Asked my age and then said they didn't want me. Well they didn't bluntly say that, just I wasn't in the range they were looking for. I know, I know they have to hit a certain amount of people in each sample size, young, middle aged, pensioners, whatever.

Rejected by a cold caller

Isn't it supposed to me rejecting them?

Well on PS2 games that went platinum came with a silver case and plain silver disc with basic game title on it. I got a mismatched box from the original release but with a platinum release disc.

My new job requires me to depend on buses and there’s nothing worse.Luckily I have flexi time because if I had a set time to get to work by, the unreliable shower that is BE wouldn’t be able for it.
15 minutes late every morning.
Friday was the worst of it. Nearly at work, bus driver stops at a stop with nobody getting on or off to take a personal call. Sounded like he was selling something.
I say to him as I’m getting off did you just stop the bus to take a call? People are trying to get to work.
He said,I’ll tell ya now, my wife is going to the doctor and needed the number. Ffs
Then on the bus home, possibly same driver does it again, only this time pulls over to scroll through his phone. I ended up hopping off in the middle of the road as my bus met another on a narrow road and both kept coming then my driver had to get out and direct, both holding up traffic on both lanes of Maunsells road and Taylors Hill started to get backed up. Surely they know they can’t both come together. And it all would have been avoided is this guy didn’t need to keep checking his phone. The ignorance of keeping a bus full of people waiting is astonishing.

Ah Galway

I remember the first time living in Dublin and seeing these wide open roads like Fairview Strand with dedicated bus lanes and a bus service for the city. Yet locals cursed and feefed Dublin Bus, why are you complaining?

Dublin Bus is amazing compared to the city "services" that Bus Eireann pretend to do

I feel the pain of the TA poster above

This is the most pathetic, petty TA but I’ve a friend who always asks for Netflix recommendations.
When I drop into conversation if she’s watched the recommendation yet, she’s always full of excuses of how it doesn’t look like her thing blah blah blah and she’d rather watch more interesting instead.
Grand, no bother.

Then a few months later she inevitably ends up watching it and I’ve to listen to how amazing it is and how she wishes she watched it sooner.
I told you to watch it 6 months ago hun!!!!

When you buy milk and the tetrapak is leaking. Fridge covered in drops.

It doesn't happen with the plastic cartons but I find that milk tastes horrible from them.

I buy the 3 litre plastic bottles and they regularly leak,also the fridge in the shop constantly has a layer of milk and I dont want to put the milk on the car mats and I mightn't have a bag with me, I usually wipe them with a cloth before putting them in the fridge, very annoying.

Other people have said the same to me! I hate plastic carton milk. Even in tea or coffee it is noticeable. On cereal, it’s rotten.

TA at plebs who have both L & N plates on the car, which is it!?
Oh and learn how to drive either way...

Antares35

TA my TA from earlier didn't post.

TA that every letter in the English alphabet except W has one syllable.

TA the Help to Buy Scheme only applies to new builds. I know why it does, but for a couple like us who want to buy a small/ modest house with a bit of land around it as opposed to a large, semi-detached house, there is no help.

TA the over (and mis) use of the term "social construct".

We had that for a few years, one was driving on her N licence and the other two spurred on by her success, started taking lessons. If I had put plates for each they wouldn't have been able to see out of the back window.

Not that it would have mattered, as they dont seem to know about the use of mirrors or the blind spot anyway.

TA, men who because of their length of service think they are fortune tellers and ignore any evidence to the contrary, esp ta when their self proclaimed special powers are applied to me.

_Whimsical_

Text messages featuring as essential plot devices in tv shows and films... but always in tiny text in a small bubble on the screen and only flashing up for a second.

Dear TV makers,
I live in a regular house, my couch is not positioned so my nose is pressed against the screen, I do not have ultramagnification vision. If you want to include text messages make the text size legible from average couch distance and leave it on screen a few extra seconds!

Feel sick.

Driving home from town with the GF earlier in her car when I lost control of it on black ice or something. Helpless as it skidded across the road and careened into the ditch, but thankfully I was able to steer it back onto the road and we sort of hit the top of the ditch so the damage was merely superficial (a dislodged bumper)

Had it been 50 feet sooner, we would have hit a brick wall, and if a car was approaching us, I feel sick thinking of what could have happened. My life flashed in front of my eyes.

The TA though is that council never bother gritting that section of road, even though its known for its dangers during cold weather, and there have been fatalities on it before.

Thanking my lucky stars in the mean-time though, and heading for a pint to settle the nerves.

I share a garden space with my neighbour and it’s becoming unusable to me because I can’t even let the dog out on it because she lets her dog to the most ginormous shltes and leaves them there. It’s just disgusting a) because I don’t want to stand in it and b) my dog would spend all day sniffing shlt if he could. Any time he’s done his business out there I still pick it up and bin it. I’ve mentioned it causally to the landlord who didn’t seem too bothered and I get it’s her space too, but... ewww like.

Driving to work at 7.30 the other morning, taking it handy when a van came right up behind me and flashed his lights. He could have hung back for about 10 seconds and passed me out in the fast lane!

I saw it at the weekend, great show but my ta is that the seat beside me was free until about 15 mins in when some dose arrived in and plonked herself in it.
I had been congratulating myself on my luck prior to her arrival.
