Things That Trialvilly Annoy You.

Evey time I hear "Stay safe, stay home, save a life", this is what comes to mind:



...except that reality is worse than Series 2 with the writers' strike.

Since this lockdown, my meals have been all over the place. I don't really eat breakfast anymore and I always have something random during the afternoon. My nighttime eating has been junk food.

Before, I used to have a breakfast, make sandwiches for lunch going to work, have dinner when I got home, and on weekends I'd treat myself to a takeaway, or two.

I've developed bad habits during this whole thing, and I keep meaning to fix it, but I just end up not being arsed.

Don't beat yourself up, most of us are the same.
It's like Christmas on a loop.

TA even with the lockdown my house is no cleaner than usual. All these people talking about how they are so bored they scrubbed the skirting boards with their tongues, and I'm just eating and snoozing

I don't even remember what hungry feels like anymore. The dog has to get a treat whenever I have a cuppa and snack, and she has put on a kilo...

I was just watching CNN (which I wouldn't normally do) but they had a piece on how Greece were doing really well during the Coronavirus, compared to their neighbour, Italy. They kept using the term "their neighbour Italy", and that's really annoying my (trivially).

As the crow flies, they're fairly close, but if you're going by land, you have Albania, Montenegro, Croatia, and Slovenia before you get to Italy. (You could avoid Bosnia & H). But they kept saying it!

Yeah, I've little to be worrying about...

Widdershins

Ta I read "you could avoid Benson and Hedges".

TA I always love everything thats bad for me.

TA I like trouble too much.

TA I had an excellent curl framing my left eye and it got wet in the early hours and flopped. Well this is the trivial annoyance thread.

Mostly happens to me on the main Covid 19 thread....
Links to videos on twitter. No matter how hard I try to just press play, I seem to keep hitting the ‘Learn more’ bit instead! Wrecks my fcuking head!


Also, posters that put their username at the end of every thing they write! Arrrrgghh!

Ok, rant over for this morning at least!
Happy Easter everyone!

For some reason this annoys the hell out of me, too.
My brother puts his initial at the end of WhatsApp messages. Why?

You're growing a human, that's enough to be doing!

Nesting may kick in soon... It never did for me, but then I'm allergic to housework.

Tell you what, just decorate the mess with blue things and if anyone asks you're nesting like a gardener bird.

The fact that the 1916 rising gets celebrated on Easter Sunday.
It happened between 24th and 29th of April.

Why in fcuks name is it being celebrated on 12 April?

I was born on a Monday, should my birthday move around so I always celebrate it on a Monday?

Not alone that, but it was postponed from Easter Sunday and actually started on Easter Monday.

Because it was the Easter Rising and Easter isn't date specific?

Errors online, and you don't have a clue what they mean. There was one talking about the children of the elements. What the hell? Are they taking the mick, sounds like a 70s glam rock group.

Less a TA and more a trivial sadness. Rang my Granny who has Alzheimer’s to wish her happy Easter and hearing her be all confused about who I was was really upsetting she knew my name but it didn’t seem to click with her that I’m her son’s daughter. She was asking who my father was and when I told her she was like “oh, X is your father?” it’s a cruel disease

That's really tough. It is such a terrible disease My Nan had it too and you could always tell when she was trying to "wing it" a bit with names and that.

Heartbreaking, Kitty. I'm so sorry to hear that.

Neighbours upstairs constantly kicking and banging something god only knows what or running around the apt in some very noisy probably wooden shows (only guess to make any sense of all the noise coming from them)

thank god they only moved in a year ago and that i had over 10 years of good experience with previous neighbours..

cant wait for these folks to move out

The Easter Rising not being commemorated on Easter Week is a bit silly.

I have a playlist on Spotify with over 900 songs. I made it because music is doing a good job of keeping me sane right now and I wanted to have my favourite songs in the one place. Spotify shuffle plays the same bloody songs every day and I am now starting to get sick of some of my favourite music.

I know of somebody and they barely visit there relatives at Christmas and they might when they want money for something off them however they are heart broken now on social media saying how they miss them and how they can’t have their little chats just to get likes.

TA how egg chocolate seem to taste better than regular bars even though its the same thing? theres just something more enjoyable, appealing and novel about a cadburys egg than a dairy milk bar.

ive a similar thing with pasta. its all the one, but id prefer spaghetti over the fusilli,penne etc.

I always find textured chocolate like Wispas or Twirls taste better.

TA I have just remembered a punnet of raspberries upended in the fridge and no way I'm going back downstairs now to pick them up.

Because some other eegit will be moaning it was at Easter and why are we commemorating it when it's not Easter.

In present situ it's an issue I couldn't give less fűcks about.

I’m a guy who guys to shopping centers, city a few times a year and I like it at that.
I had Friday the 13th of March of work and had planned with a few weeks to go to Cork and then Leo announced his measures on the 12th. I knew then it was off and the naive part of me thought I might do it on Good Friday originally.

That I never punched someone in the lying mouth when I had a chance.

Pacifism hasn't solved much so far, I'd be open to trying a new tack.

People that throw change on the counter in the general direction of shop staff.

Nothing to do with COVID-19...just those ignorant cretins that will give a cursory glance at the change in their hand and then lob it at the counter for the shop assistant to pick up and count.

Annoys the bejesus out of me.

Yep and just to add, staff that throw your change on the counter after you handed them the money in the first.

Do you think the people organising it called it "The Easter Rising"? Somehow, I doubt it.

After the fact, it seemed like a good idea to tack it onto a Religious festival, I reckon.

This is my whole point. Why is it named after a religious holiday that does not have a fixed date?

What's wrong with the 1916 Rising?
Then it could be celebrated on the dates it actually occurred. You know, like an actual anniversary.
