Things That Trialvilly Annoy You.

Living Off The Splash

A friend that I meet about 4 times a year. Never gives anything away. Terribly mean with his conversation, advice, knowledge, etc. Type of person that would have a thousand protective masks in his cupboard but would never tell you or if he was going away on holiday to Sri Lanka tomorrow wouldn't mention it.

Sent him a text asking him how he and his family are keeping.
Response. All good. You?

Yet people I hardly know are opening up and offering all sorts of conversation.

I think I know him haha.

Fraudulent charges, finances being a house of cards, a common ta at the moment I'm sure

I am not much of a socialist, but I always believed in this one from Karl Marx.

"Surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help you when you’re in need. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through."

There is local gossip going around that a couple of the resident junkies in town were attempting to shoplift earlier, and when the shopkeeper confronted them at the door, he was spat at by one of the vermin. Now its fairly common behaviour from them as they have basically run amok in various premises around the town without much censure (typical Irish "justice") but to be deliberately spitting on someone in this current climate is grounds for a public lynching. My blood is boiling.

Ah now, you can't be saying mean things like that about them. Sure haven't society failed them, they didn't have a football field growing up and the laws don't apply to them etc. :P

I'd be livid too. And the gas part is they probably won't catch anything, nothing would survive in them.

TA I have an ongoing craving for rice pudding. The freezer and presses are well stocked with healthy, sensible food so I really cannot justify taking a risk in a shop just for rice pudding, but it is all I have thought about for three days

Took off my protective gloves this am, forgot they were powdered and got the stuff all over my newly put on dark outfit, I had hoped to wear until the weekend.

Freaking hate those goves, have used anti bac for years without incident, but some places insist on them.

My sister rushes in and says that X has a massive new Jeep. I'd be like well I know it's not a Jeep but maybe at least some type of 4wd. It turns out they've got a Renault Captur.

The term jeep predates the brand Jeep.

Heard before it was a US army term for a “general purpose” vehicle. General purpose was abbreviated to “GP” and then called a “jeep”.

I also heard that is was a vehicle with Just Enough Essential Parts...but
That’s probably urban myth.

Either way, I stand over my TA...to me a jeep is a Jeep, and only a Jeep.����

Jeep:

https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=jeep

early 1941, American English military slang, acronym from G.P., abbreviation of General Purpose (car), but certainly influenced by Eugene the Jeep (who had extraordinary powers but said only "jeep"), from E.C. Segar's comic strip "Thimble Theater" (home of Popeye the Sailor). Eugene the Jeep first appeared in the strip March 13, 1936. The vehicle was in development from 1940, and the Army planners' initial term for it was light reconnaissance and command car.

Muahahaha

TA'd at the amount of companies sending me emails that being with 'During these difficult times.....'

Fcuk right off

Wouldn't it be great if, at least for the time being, Netflix got rid of that stupid message asking 'are you STILL watching?'. I don't need to be shamed like this right now!!!

I absolutely hate that. It is such a passive- aggressive move, masquerading as an apology when it isn't one at all. Like, "I'm sorry you took it that way" - instead of just saying, "I'm sorry I said it". It's like they are shifting the blame back onto the wronged person for how they heard or interpreted something hurtful that was said

My TA is the fact that all the delivery slots for Tesco are booked until 20th April. There must be selfish gits who booked several for themselves just in case. Probably the same ones who panic bought loo roll. The I'm alright Jack type. Should only be allowed to book one at a time - and anyway who knows what they are going to need in feckin 3 weeks time anyway. Literally stockpiling delivery slots now :mad:

"Im sorry you feel I did wrong" or similar, a way of avoiding an admission of guilt.
I really dislike weasel words.

Same ta here...not even a click and collect slot.

People who are not elderly or vulnerable getting their shopping delivered.
Those slots are needed for people who can't get to the shops.

Widdershins

Well fyi, I can't, and when I get a slot, I shop for an older neighbour and a relative all in one order...
If there was a c & c slot I was going to pay for a taxi.

Well then, I'm annoyed at people who take up delivery slots that vulnerable people like you need.
I never said that you didn't need slots.

Clearly a lot of people who could go out to the shops are having shopping delivered.

People who willingly pay by tap and go. The past fortnight of cashless payments has been a right pain in the hole (not that I've been making many)

It baffles me. Probably over half of outlets, fast food places in particular, don't let you see the amount on the screen as you tap, as the reader is facing towards them, so you could be tapping for anywhere between your quoted amount and 49 euro more.

It's insanity. Can't feckin wait to return to cash.

Or the ones that take the card from your hand, go away and tap it and return it without a receipt!!
This is quite common - usually seems to be younger staff doing this.

Do you know when a show gets popular on Netflix that it gains a lot of traction on social media, and its automatically assumed that you should watch it?

Well Tiger King isn't the sort of show I tend to watch.Just not my style. I don't care how popular it is. Just the look of the lead character, Joey whatshisface, puts me off.

I thought the beauty of Netflix is that there is such an array of shows on it, and your under no time schedule to watch them unlike regular programmes on tv? It seems everyone jumps on the same bandwagon and your treated like something of a weirdo if you don't watch the same as everyone else.

First world problem I know

I'm with the missus 4 years and I think we have watched something on her Netflix together maybe 12 times. The bulk of it is muck, 99 percent of what we watch is recorded off Sky. Can't understand why anyone subscribes, and the lack of an A to Z is a pain in the hole as well.

Case in point, there are sites that show a Netflix A to Z. I counted about 12 films/ and or TV series I reckoned would be worth a watch, not counting stuff like the Royle Family and Only Fools and Horses which, although great, can be dipped in and out to on regular TV as they are always on repeat.

I simply have no interest at all in watching the next big thing on streaming services, and I'm in no hurry to watch Tiger King.

Was supposed to have next week off work but got asked to come in as there is no one to cover me.
Guess where all the cover is?

Went for shopping today and came home to find the house full of cobwebs that would put the seven wonders of the ancient world to shame, and all built in about four hours.
