Things That Trialvilly Annoy You.

A series of related things:


1. Caught my water proof trousers on a nail yesterday and tore them badly, so they're totally useless
2. Got caught in a biblical-style hail shower this morning on the way to work. Got soaked through without the trousers and lost all feeling in my face from being pelted
3. Got really sweaty from cycling extra fast to escape the hail
4. My workplace has no showers despite 90% of the 150 people who work in this particular building either walk or cycle to work. There are also no private bathrooms where you can give yourself a quick wash in a sink



So really TA'd that I have to sit around today in my yoga stuff praying that my clothes will dry before I teach later, and that the best wash I could do was with a tissue. Bah.

Had almost pneumonia two weeks ago, got better and now I have a cough again. Great

So many people have that same thing and can't shake it. I'm in the same boat, just finished a course of antibiotics and it still hasn't fully gone. I'm not sure I can face any more honey, ginger, lemon and paracetamol. I hope you feel better soon. The cough is exhausting and painful.

TA that a lot of posts just disappeared from this thread.

Yeah, I noticed one of mine disappeared but conspicuously the reply to one of mine remained, guess I'm the wrong nationality. Maybe I should identify as a migrant being discriminated against.

You could use baby wipes, either leave a packet in your desk or throw a few in a ziploc bag. Waterwipes are the wettest ones I've come across.

Was at a stag over the weekend, and while my perpetual tiredness all day today is a TA in itself, whats worse is an 'incident' is playing over in my mind.

On the Friday night of the stag, a couple of the fellas got talking to a couple of women, as happens. Anyway I was introduced to them by one of the lads as: 'This fella here is Castletownman. And all-time great, he can talk to ye about anything'.

Except another member of the group, known for being a bit of an ass, chimed in with: 'How is he an all-time great? Sure he doesn't do anything'.....so basically belittled me in front of everyone with his perceived notions that I don't work as hard as him or something.

Now its rare that the dynamic among a group of lads will be in perfect harmony, but this wouldn't be the first time he has has insulted me either. He just has a dislike of me for some reason. Yet I can't confront him over it as it may cause friction among the group. Although I will say he does seem to have a drink problem, so maybe there is an underlying issue there.

I know it sounds harmless, but I was completely embarassed at the time, although I didn't let it show externally, and maybe its the lingering effects of the hangover, but its really playing on my mind since I got home.

Pricks are going be pricks I suppose.

I have similar experiences regularly and they hurt/annoy no matter who or what, ppl should have more cop on really. You have a healthy attitude, but it shouldn't be happening esp on what should be a happy/fun occasion.

Being professionally tied to someone I dont like, and having to be faux sociable b/c they could drop me in it badly for a long period of time if I'm not.

Were any posts linking to old posts of a more “esteemed” member? Possibly catching them out in a slight bit of, harmless, spoofery?

From what I can gather, based on the evidence in front of us, this is against the “rules”.

Safest not to quote posts, older than a day or two, and, certainly, don’t engage with any “off limits”, or “protected”, posters.

Very strange, though. All the same.

Queue skipping. Drives me crazy. I am one of those clowns that says nothing, I hate myself for being that person.

Trying to remember how to specifically spell the verb queue, try it sometime. Or is it a noun? Do you wait in a queue, or do you queue in a queue? Baffling.

No, just an ongoing conversation between a couple of posters. I'd love to know what I miss if this goes on a lot, you could come back after an hour and have missed half a thread.

I don’t kick up much of a fuss myself, I, but I always try to announce their “joining” by extending a loud “welcome to the queue!”.

There was an obese bint walking around SuperValu Blackrock today, coughing not stop in to the air, over the shelves and not once did she cover her mouth with her hand or arm. She was also carrying one of these self scan hand thingies for her purchases.

She was disgusting.

Kid always gets fruit in school. The fruit generally is pretty manky but today he got an apple that was very clearly rotting. Kid said something to the teacher, teacher told him it's not her problem and to take it home and dispose it there.
How about you don't hand out spoilt food to kids, you bint?

I have a friend who is notoriously workshy and averages about 25 sick days a year. All paid. She happens to be in the house this evening.

I was in the office from 8.30am to 6pm today and am sitting at home with the laptop out since I got in. I just made a comment about not getting paid enough and she goes "Yeah, I feel your pain, it's so unfair". She's been on (paid) sick leave since the start of December! How I didn't pull her over the table and strangle her with the charging cable is beyond me.

Be another 6 weeks off work then.

So, this post and response were from Jan 27th. She's still off work. And informed me today she's not going back until Easter.

All this because she had a mole removed from her leg. I literally cannot contain the eyeroll.

We have one like that in our place, there's a guessing game most Thursday afternoons as to whether or not she'll turn up Friday morning.

A few weeks ago she finished up at 3.00 one afternoon as she had a "dentist appointment". The following morning I asked her how she got on and without blinking she said "Fine, I was just getting them whitened for a wedding this weekend"

Probably far more serious but TA China. WTF were you doing eating bats in the first place? Now we all have to put up with this sh*t storm. :mad: If it all blows over and we don't all end up dead, I really hope there will be some punitive repercussions for them.

People who comment and act out, about my age and how 'easy' I have it, when they have long commutes and no money after they pay childcare/mortgages etc and have crappy but well paid jobs full of idiots and chancers.

Ta at the arrogance and anger that blinds them to the fact that I had to do and put up with most of that kind of thing when.........I was YOUNG(by their standards) as well.

Just cause Im technical an empty nester doesn't mean my life was any easier then their's currently.

Airport security measures and the lack of consistency at different airports (again!):

Flew from Cork to Manchester on Thursday morning. Unlaced my boots and prepared to take them off, but was told not to bother unless they were steel toecaps (they aren't).

Flew back yesterday and chanced waiting in line without unlacing my boots, but was told to take them off.

Fair enough, I don't mind if I have to take them off every time, but why only sometimes? What sense does it make anyway, what could I possibly be hiding in a pair of tightly laced Doc Martens?

And the real pisser of the security in Manchester (and most everywhere I think) was that I have to put my cigarette lighter in a see through plastic bag in order to go through the security check, but am then free to take it out of the bag once I've passed through into departures.

Worst of all is that there doesn't seem to be much logic in a lot of the procedures, but woe betide anyone that dares to question this whilst in the airport.

I love flying and even enjoy a few hours in an airport, relaxing in the bar. But my God, even for someone as laid back as me, there are so many trivial annoyances with passing through security.

Widdershins

TA an adversarial attitude to the world that some people have. Sadly it's just what happens in some cases after life has battered you around too many times. We can be aware of our own attitudes and try to improve, though.

Also TA people finishing others' sentences. With completely wildly wrongly presumed endings. Tbe height of bad manners.

TA gaping. Close your mouth, ill bred swine! Manners cost nothing.

Man, you think of all the people who drag themselves into work every day whilst dealing with chronic illnesses. I know somebody who runs an animal shelter (pretty physical work) whilst dealing with early onset arthritis that is quite severe.

They are all on silly power trips. You can't question anything or you'll be shot. Wouldn't mind but the days of hijackings are long gone. While they are busy giving people a hard time over liquid eyeliner and scented candles, maniacs are ploughing trucks down pedestrian walkways. They are ten steps behind all the time. Nobody is going to take down a feckin plane with a lighter. :mad:

The Chinese government has banned it now but they'll probably keep eating cats and dogs boiled alive. I don't understand how a country which is at the cutting edge of technology can be so bloody backwards.

There may be a country that feels the same about us eating cows.

I'm sure our black pudding raises a few eyebrows too.

Clients being unnecessarily rude, dismissive, hostile, abrupt and inconsiderate of my time.

I've had a day of bs from clients where my usual "kill them with kindness" mask is slipping and I'm tempted to call these people on their total lack of respect in their engagement with me. I know better than to take it personally, but it still galls me. Rude people are RUDE!

Yep, and too many times it's turned out that the culprits are employed by the airports as baggage handlers or other behind the scenes jobs. I think I'll try the fast track option next time I fly and see if that makes a difference, or book one of the lounges.

Ive lost/mislaid/had stolen a £500.000 antique necklace. Worse, it's my engagement present.
I have a terrible tendency to leave a trail of jewellery behind me wherever I go
I'm not awash with expensive jewellery. That was the most expensive. It waschosen for me instead of an engagement ring, because I don't like to wear rings. I wouldn't have spent that much.

It's not that I wasn't taking care of it. Clasps come undone by themselves, on my jewellery. Seriously.
