Things That Trialvilly Annoy You.

If there is no problem with supply chains why are Tesco out of stocks of 90% of the common products I ordered for tomorrow night?

They're also out of delivery slots for weeks ahead. So much for social distancing.

Also TA at the use of "issue" instead of "problem" even though I do that too.

Social distancing does not rule out getting groceries delivered?????


Unless you are planning on swapping spit with the delivery driver.

I think she meant she now has to go to the shops in person to look for the missing items.

If theyve no stock to deliver or no open slots to book then you cant get it delivered. You have to physically go to a shop. Social distancing then can't be as effective.

And I might, if they sent the right driver

But if she does fancy the delivery guy it's nothing to do with us.

The BBC “headline” about how the stars are joining the Coronavirus fight...eh, all they are doing is posting a video of themselves at home. How does that help fight the virus!?!

Let's get Geldof on the case with a "Give us your ****ing tissues" appeal coupled with a hit single.

Bags of frozen "broccoli /cauliflower" rice. The ingredient is 100% the vegetable. Therefore it is not f**king rice.

TA the way peoples civility crumbles and they get confrontational over little differences instead of either talking it out or accepting the other person as they are.

TA people say always be you or always be genuine but the moment you dont conform to their way of doing things or you say something they didn't expect, or have an interest in things they don't like, they turn against you.

Couldn't get passed the second level of Supermario World earlier. Use to be able to complete the whole thing, with my eyes closed.

"Supersweet" berries from Tesco taste like water. This is why I dont eat much out of season, imported fruit.

All that fandango

TA how my Dad watches nothing but the English news channels, despite there not being a drop of English blood in him. Also watches the English weather forecast over the Irish one. If England are due to get a couple of days of nice weather its "ooh we're in for a great couple of days". We live in the West of Ireland. Swear he does it to annoy me.

Tourists in Spain defying the quarantine over there.

Because sadly, some people actually live their lives vicariously through what such and such celeb did/ said/ tweeted lately. Its all too common in this day and age. Some people are more influenced by instagrammers and celebs than by government or medical advice and common sense.

TA that where we live is quite isolated but since the lockdown, every Tom, Dick and Harry is driving to nearby walkways etc. that we usually enjoy in peace. Its good to see everyone out and about but the traffic is non stop, illegal parking is a joke and its so busy I feel like I would be safer on O'Connell St. Whats the point isolating or social distancing if everyone goes to the same place because, ironically, "it will be quieter there"?

OMG I know what you mean! The beaches near me which are usually very quiet in March are absolutely thronged! And today I walked a very quiet loop, half beach, half quiet country lanes and it had been invaded, lanes and beach alike! I know I don't own them and its great for people to get out into the fresh air, but I miss the peace and quiet. I always go off the beaten track and now its getting harder to find.

(on a side note I was up in the Mourne mountains on Sunday and they were beautiful and peaceful - you need to know which ones to go to that are quiet - plenty of space on them still)

Spring break in Florida has the beaches packed too.

Rubberlegs

Most days I will either walk or drive the prom for my sea fix. Today in particular the weather was miserable, but yesterday and today you would swear it was the height of summer with the amount of people that were on the beach/walking the prom. TA, I worry that it will come that we will be told we can't go outside at all

Where were all these people before? Did they just not exercise? Or were they in parks? And does that mean that maybe the parks are a better bet now for isolation?

TA would do anything for a cigarette and everyone on tv is smoking in that intense way that makes you want one but am barred until bubba arrives in 67 days but who is counting...

Dog burst out barking next to my ear and I belted my knee on the table when I jumped up in shock. I only recently healed from breaking it.

That would do my nut in.

It might work keeping people indoors in urban areas, having police patrolling around to check credentials.
In rural Ireland? Good luck with it.

Work are still faffing around talking about making everyone work from home. You know it's gonna happen, just ****ing make the decision and let us go home ffs. I don't even need the days off, just let me work from home and protect myself.

Antares35

Our new neighbours have a dog that literally never stops barking. They throw him out into the garden at all hours - for example on Sunday morning at 7am, and he stood at the side gate barking his stupid head off. Now that we are all working from home, it's a disturbance during the day too. I love dogs, but I will not see this pandemic through without near killing him.

Not for a good while I'd say.
It might be very small ceremonies if they do take place.

Wow, are some employers still sitting on the fence over working from home? I'm in my second week of it.

My poor heart must be TA at the moment ... every time my Mum or Dad cough it skips a beat and I can do nothing about it!

A tricky phone charger or port at a time like this.

People who I know in person who were pig ignorant about C19 are now braying at everyone to "stay the f*ck home". Also making virtuous posts ontheir ownpage aabout dropping supplies to people but not posting it anywhere vulnerable people would actually see it. Also neglecting their own older relatives while making that show of being helpful. It's two faced. I can always predict which tune the idiots will be whistling depending on what's popular.

Just back from the local shop and I dont think people still understand what we need to be doing regarding the virus.There was about 8 of us in the shop and all were middle to old age.I had a huge scarf wrapped around my face and disposable gloves but I was definitely the only one .I saw one using the sanitizer at the door a few people used the coffee machine but no gloves or sanitizer used.
I was shocked at the old people and hope they are understanding the message.People are complaining about scare mongering but I think its still not registering with a lot of people that it's so serious. I'm not ranting but I genuinely felt after last night that everyone would be covered up today.

Pricks who dish out official advice but then refuse to stand over it when asked if they can be quoted. Just try and pass the buck up the line to the next spineless prick. I'm done with these people today.

I just want a bowl of soup for lunch. We have literally everything else in our house (both OH and I are at risk categories so have stocked up to avoid shopping), except soup. Not even a sachet of Cream of Vegetable from the 80's hidden in the back of the press. Nothing.

This is supposed to be the year of:
My wedding
My first music festival
My first distant, non UK, holiday


If you didn't laugh you'd cry

People who've lost jobs have more to deal with, total sympathy for them!

Also TA someone who I don't like and who must know I don't like him just sent me a Facebook friend request. People are strange.

Getting married the same year as your first festival! What are you? A child bride?

TA that I'm not at home listening to records right now.
