Things That Trialvilly Annoy You.

Widdershins

TA everyone misconstrues Marie Kondo's points. They're complaining without having read the book.

Also ( but not trivial, of course) enforced relentless positivity, as highlighted by Obvious Desperate Breakfasts. I've been thinking about that a lot and remembering so many examples.

People who refuse to respond via email but pick up the phone to answer you instead. I might not actually have the time to talk to you right now or I might be in the middle of something else. Also, if you NEVER put your answer in writing it makes me doubt how confident you are in committing to it. I worked with civil servants before, some of whom never replied to an email but would pick up the phone. It was as if they were afraid of being held to their answer. Doesn't exactly instil confidence!

TA Tesco don't sell lighter fluid, and neither do smaller shops. You can't order it from Amazon due to shipping restrictions. It's turning into.a wild goose chase. I don't want to go to town just for that

I've a dose that won't just feck off and it's a bit annoying at this stage. It's not quite a flu ( well it is manflu ) but it's been two and a half weeks now and it's still lingering. It's the cough mainly that's annoying me.

I hear ya, I had the same...well what I thought was the same. But it turns out that I had the beginning of Bronchitis....
Yeah, the coughing is the worst...sounding like a dog barking...if I was an animal, i'd be put down...

Dial Hard

People who park at the pumps when they're not even getting fuel.

People who play music aloud on their phone in the canteen. We don't all share your taste in tunes, dude!

Idiots driving around in this weather with no lights on.

The constant knuckle-cracking of one of the guys I'm working on a project with. It finishes today, which is most fortunate for his continued existence on this planet.

USB lighter ftw.
Charge it for around 20 minutes a couple of times a week. Also windproof. Acts as a mini tazer. Going well over a year, now.

Sounds good but I love the aesthetics of a brass lighter...and it has no plastic.

TA people who are ignorant of basic safety. ah sure it'll be grand!

anyone who uses common sense is a paranoid, according to these wallies.

Ah well, that's what the Darwin Award is for.

When people in work do stupid things and then walk away waiting on others to clean up their mess . All because they have a "title".

Can always use a spare I guess.

Why, oh why, did I think it was a good idea to lie down on a pitch to do some stretching? I'm going to be picking grass off my fleecy jacket forever

How overrated Volkswagens are.

On Monday I saw a Golf (171) in the car park with a front right spotlight that didn't seem to be working, but when it stopped, the light came on. It went off again when the Golf started moving again. I thought to myself that that was an unusual fault, but seconds later I saw a Taureg (181) with the same fault! Same spotlight was out, but came on when the car was stopped. How **** is VW's quality!

Spec and quality has been poor for decades but somehow lots of people in Ireland think it's a premium brand.

Might have been the cornering lights?

Sorry, my TA: dropping in for a couple of bits to Tesco after work and it's like a play centre with kids running wild unsupervised.

Wtf ?

When the person in front of you pulls up at the First petrol pump leaving the one in front idle and you cant get by them to get to the free one, Grrrrr:(

fussyonion

I have to say 'Hello' twice when I answer my phone so the person hears me.
Very annoying.

My legs and feet are achiiiiiiing me so bad from a very long day on my feet. I felt so tired from the pain earlier I felt like crying.

Looking forward to a good night's sleep after this nice glass of wine.

Sometimes the one in front doesn't have a diesel pump...I got stung that way..luckily I could reverse back as wasn't busy.

I find the Spar ads with Karen Koster very annoying. Never liked that woman - her accent, that show she presented, and apparently she's not a particularly friendly person...

I love getting that email! I don’t check the winnings for hours, maybe a day , kinda savor it and play over all the scenarios in my head of my huge windfall ......then I find I won €3.50 ,:D

Mind you recently I won €25 one week and €55 the next week so I was delighted !

SirChenjin

Why do I bother to make appointments? Ten minutes waiting so far...:(

Widdershins

Had to reschedule an early morning meeting today, not for the 1st time, because someone made me late again. I hate it and it gives me anxiety...if I had to do it again I'd be too mortified to ring them and make more excuses...not goosd I know. But they were lovely about it. TA people being inconsiderate with time.

Irish Rail wifi.
I think they'd piss people off less if they just said that they don't have wifi!

Trying to peel a turnip !

Irish Rail toilets perpetually stink of piss.

That pain in my gum is back again, but now it’s worse and hurts when I swallow as well (???)

All the mail said I'd won a prize. Had to log in to find out it was 5.90.
Those 90 seconds logging in were but exhilarating and terrifying. What if its 190 million? Alas

Everyone thinks an empty petrol barrel is safer than a full one when it's actually more dangerous as it could be full of fumes.

Just a bit TA with my friend . I love him dearly but the ingrained misogyny is embarrassing. If a woman's general behaviour is disagreeable he calls her a slag. Why use a sexual derogatory term....

I like quiet people. They can be very thoughtful and observant. Weirdly though a TA of mine is being described as quiet. It's called listening and adding my view as and when. I've never left a conversational gap anyway. The only people who ever called me quiet turned out to be arses probably hoping for a timid woman to dominate.
