Things Cat Trialvilly Annoy You (part whatever) *MOD WARNING IN OP*

People who say "I miss vinyl" or "I miss DVDs" or "I miss CDs" - seemingly oblivious to the point that all these formats continue to be manufactured and released.

Supermarkets and their opening times - again!

The sign outside Dunnes says open at 8.30am on Saturdays. Google says the same.

I always get up early on a Saturday and would much prefer to be in and out as early as possible.
So I arrive just before 8.30am and the car park is getting full. People are streaming in and out of the shop. It's obvious that it has opened earlier.

Ask the lady on the checkout "What time do you open on Saturdays?"

"8.00am" is the response.

I have a cough, I've had a cough for 12 years. I don't smoke, but I do have a smoker's cough. I don't know how I got it, but everyone in my family knows I have this cough. I have asthma (I thiink), so why is it every time I cough in front of someone that knows me, they have to comment on it?

"Are ya alright?"
"Did you take your inhaler?"
"What the f*ck is wrong with you?"

Can you not comment on it for fúck's sake? Please?! This has been me since 2009, you know me at this stage. Get over it and stop making me feel like I'm not allowed to cough.

Don't even start me on strangers who give me the eye thinking I have covid.

One of my favourite things about IKEA is watching all the people in the car park realise they're never going to get an entire flat pack kitchen into their Volkswagen Golf.

Or them carefully and meticulously reversing into a spot for them to come back a couple of hours later to realise they have to move the car as they have zero access to the boot

My f*cking neighbour has been renovating the same room in his house for the past FOUR WEEKS!!!!! Four weeks of constant banging, sawing, hammering -- I'm about to lose my mind. The worst part is he does it all day, legally, and I can't say a fúcking thing. The longest time he done it in one day, that I can recall, was between 10 in the morning and half 7 in the evening, without stopping.

How can it take 4 weeks to renovate one bedroom? I'm sorry but that makes no sense to me.

I queried the balance on my online shopping.
I had gone through the account and once I took the newly returned item charge, the bill showed a 12e balance.
I searched for an underpayment or missed return/ any item at all that was that amount of money.
Emailed the company asking them to explain where this balance came from and explained I was querying the amount left over after the returns came off.

Their response was to show me the latest activity on the bill and confirm that the balance on screen was the amount owed.
FFSFFSFFS
I did the work and they are still wrong.
WFH my ass, not wfh more like.

I find those slogan baby onesies/ vests really irritating. With stupid things on them like "mummy and daddy didn't take social distancing seriously" or "I'm cute, mom's hot, dad's lucky". Latest one I saw was "all mommy wanted was a back rub" like FFS we get it, we know how kids are made, no need for crass reminders broadcast on your baby's clothes

I guess the truth wouldn’t fit on a babygrow:

“I am the result of daddy putting his penis inside mummy’s vagina for two disappointing minutes. I am also the reason it hasn’t happened again in over a year.”

I do like the "triplets" ones.

I wasn't
Either was I

People who seriously lack awareness and skip off down a road to ruin, despite all the warnings. When they find themselves there, OOO boy do they blame everyone in sight for that precarious situation. Sometimes I think their evolution cells have an
[bad] attachment to chaos.

People can't follow instructions! Im a moderater of a buy and sell group on facebook. As part of the rules on the group, every post has to have a price and a picture. I spotted a post from someone that didn't have a price on it. I commented on the post and asked them to put a price on their post. They got back to me today, no change, apart from a link added. I then got back to them with instructions on how to edit the post and with screenshots showing how to do it. Still no change. Argh!

I was out enjoying a nice walk in the sun when a cyclist came flying at us from behind, ringing his bell and then sneezed as he passed. I keep telling myself it was probably just the common cold but eugh, f*ckin keep it to yourself and don't ring your bell at me when I'm already walking to one side and clearly not in your way.

What is it about getting behind a wheel that makes so many people turn into absolute maggots? And all the focus is on L drivers, yet I believe the majority of accidents could be avoided if we had less aggression and impatience - two things that tend to be unique to drivers who've been on the roads for years rather than those just starting out.

An L sign is a provocation as far as many drivers are concerned.

Delete the post and send them a message explaining why.

Disgusting sneeze aside, I'm gonna play devil's advocate here with the bell. I tend to ring my bell as I'm coming towards people to let them know "Lads, I'm behind you, just in case you unexpectedly decide to walk in front of me".
It's not to say anyone's in my way, it's to prevent any sudden decisions by a pedestrian. I've cycled down a road where people will sometimes use the road to walk past people on the pavement, before going up onto the pavement again. They've often suddenly gone onto the road while I've been on it, causing me to screech my brakes, and then look at me like I'm the bad guy, when they never looked behind them to see if anyone was coming down (before stepping onto the road).

I'll always ring my bell when I'm coming towards a pedestrian with their back to me, because in my experience, people do sway when they walk at times.

That is what I am telling my kids to do as well. Also handy if they have a dog so that they can reel it in. Half of the people ignore her bell though so she ends up having to stop. Some purposely block her as well (she is 4). Had someone else tell me kids weren't allowed cycle on footpaths :pac:

Ah that last part reminds me of a TA I posted here months ago, where a cyclist is damned if they do/don't when it comes to what they're allowed to cycle on. If you're on a road, drivers hate you, and if you're on a pavement, pedestrians hate you. It's a no-win situation.

Yeah that's true enough, and with a dog on a lead (although not a flexi lead), he wasn't to know that she wouldn't jump in his way. I must have walked about a minute with my coat up around my nose and mouth, with an image of fluorescent covid germs just hanging in the air like a fog
