Things That Trialvilly Annoy You.

Midster

Or when my youngest dog (who is known for occasionally popping next to my bed) walks out my bedroom just as I’m walking up the stairs.
Gives a guilty glance, and then creeps slowly by.

Conniving taxi drivers looking for an easy mark. Injured leg, got one into town for friend's birthday. Seven quid, fair enough. Helluva night, made an effort at walking home but pain was too much. Hailed another at shorter distance than before. Brought me to door, "that will be eight euros". "Surely you are mistaken. We've barely travelled a kilometre. It must be six". "That's what the meter says". "You're having me on, I paid seven for a longer journey earlier. Six-fifty is the best I can do". "Go on then, we won't fall out over one-fifty". "Thank you, but think twice about pulling a similar stunt next time". We're not all ignorant drunkards stumbling home from the pub.

Hmm. I got one from a hotel just outside Ennis town to the Friar's walk bus station which is about 10 minutes drive. I don't know if I was overcharged (theres a digital price thing) but he tried to keep me talking while he neglected to give me any change (a few euro). When I reminded him he said he didn't even notice what I'd handed him.
I remembered him from a previous journey that seemed very expensive...

TA when I mentioned something that seemed a bit extreme might simply be part of child protection rules (which makes it seem like reasonable caution in that light, and Im glad the people in question did their duty) the other person snorted dismissively.
Right...so some people don't believe in safeguarding. Charming.

You would have been reared in America. Was that the initial plan and then things changed?

I said I was reared on American programs, not reared in America. Or is it a misplaced comma that’s causing your TA?

TA for constant wedding talk at work. Ok, so you're getting married - great - but can you tone it down a small bit please.

It's sort of scary one couple can spend months and months at planning and another can spend a few weeks doing bits and pieces and end up with the same results.

I was at a gig the other night and was queuing up the stairs. I'm certain the guy ahead of me let one go, rotten stink and his arse was almost level with my face.

A lady (and I use the term loosely) got me like that in the supermarket once. I bent down to get something from a low shelf, which put my face in the area recently vacated by her bottom.

Phew-oh! my life flashed before my eyes it was that bad, and I swear I saw her grinning slyly about it.

There's a lad at work as well, the phantom.. constantly dropping clangers and walking around the office like a slug leaving a trail.. the smell!

There's a method to his madness tho, he never stays in the one spot long enough that you can pin the smell on him.

Got on the bus to work this morning and only one seat left on the bus, taken up by some girls handbag. I went to the seat and she immediately looked out the window. I caught her attention and politely ask her to move the bag. She glares at me then turns around and looks up and down the bus to see if any other seats are free before tutting and putting the bag on her lap, I would really have liked to pick it up and fling it out the window.

TA at how upset I feel every time Doctor Who regenerates. Yesterday was a trying day anyway and then Matt Smith turned into Peter Capaldi

One of our foreign branches was hacked before christmas, in the digital shake up they fitted all out workers computers with an internet disconnect button every time its turned off.

Every time I log on I forget that I need to reconnect to the internet, every.single.time.for.months.

One of my siblings is in hospital with what is probably a symptom of her dementia, as a result, I have turned on the sound option on my personal phone, freaking thing beeps continuously as my class are finishing up their year and posting bonding messages.
Making me jump each time thinking its a message from the hospital.

When your mum walks in on you masturbating and calls you disgusting. Even though it’s perfectly natural, and hey, who doesn’t from time to time.

Where did K9 go. I've been following it on and off for years and he was my favourite character.

Guessing she must have paid for her bag to have it's own seat!!

Why are there always so many tesco tokens thrown on the street. Stop taking them out of the shop, put them in the tube before you leave you big amadans.
It's really not that difficult.

Whenever I log back into After Hours today it initially brings me to a page with ancient threads on it from 16 years ago.

Always remember that, even if all the toilet roll is gone, there’s always the side of the bath and the shower “hose”.

This is true, though I wonder will companies be a bit more lenient... Probably not, but hopefully I'll be surprised.
