Things dat Trivyully Annoy You (part whatever) *MOD WARNING IN OP* NEW

Having to constantly clean my glasses pisses me off. I seem to have to clean them once an hour. WTF is wrong with my face that it keeps spewing out dead skin and dirt onto the lenses?

People turning into lemmings in the rain.

Yeah I appreciate it's wet n windy but you're putting an awful lot of faith in my observation and stopping ability when you dart out from between parked cars.

That must be the guys who were banging outside your place last night.

TA Irish grafitti is so rubbish and such an eyesore, just names and penises and stupid symbols.
Look at this great stuff they get in Brazil, why can't we get something like that?

Yeah I think its bosh and paddy, hard to make out. It must have been them, who were banging the other night. After seeing the pictures, I agree with you

Todays annoyance is being very busy, few medical appointments to attend today

Or when you're just about to leave the house to get the bus/train to work and all of a sudden the urge comes on

RTE!! The way they put a headline on their news site that someone has for example been convicted of murder but put up a picture of the victim!

When you say man has been convicted you expect a picture of the that man, really confusing!

Have a look at the headline and picture on the RTE homepage now :mad:

People who blabber on about themselves and their lives and problems at length but who don’t even bother to hide their boredom or indifference at anyone else talking about themselves to them, even briefly. I can’t imagine being that self-absorbed.

A reminder folks - keep it light hearted in this thread & forum.

Getting annoyed at something, then realising you probably posted the same thing before. That's right: I'm still annoyed at the £ sign on keyboards sold here. I have an American keyboard at home, but not at work - so remembering where to find @ or " is also a TA.

Today is more than a TA.

There's one of those in my office. Spends literally hours talking non stop about her kids (parents of grown up kids are often particularly bad for this), and dropping names of people and places she's encountered in some kind of bid to impress. But if you try to interject with your own story/ view whatever, she just keeps saying, "yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah" over you, which basically translates to stfu I'm not interested.

One of the many reasons I'm delighted to be WFH

Just realised that. Why is there a dollar and pound sign but no euro? I wasn't TAd before about having to type "alt 0128" but now I am!

The absolute worst. The WORST. I have an aunt and uncle like that. I have never heard them talk about anything but their two “kids”. Kids in inverted commas because those kids are now 40ish. Oh and their grandchildren now that they have them. Seriously, in my 37 years on this planet, I’ve never heard them talk about anything else. It makes me very happy that my parents had many interests apart from their sprogs. I think it’s tragic to just talk about your children all the time.

And the “Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah” thing - eeww, I can just hear her say that even though I’ve never met her. Do these people ever achieve self-awareness? Doubt it.

I woke up at 7 feeling fine.

Turned over for 15 minutes, then woke up again with a headache. Now I feel like crap.

"Please dispose Litter thoughtfully."

Printed on McDonald's receipts. Given the sheer number of people who see these things, you'd think they'd get the grammar and capitalisation right!

The amount of safety incident reports that are sent here in work every day is ridiculous (and trivially annoying). There is a good 'safety culture' here which is a good thing, but e-mailing everybody about every little incident is too much.

One of the best ones though, was the person who reported an incident where they had closed their laptop on their own hand. Somebody else dropped a pen, and after picking it up, banged their head off their desk on the way up.

I suppose I am really glad they warn me of these dangers, if I'm being honest...

Oh god you've just reminded me I've to draft a near miss policy. So, for anyone who nearly slams the laptop or almost hits their head on the way up from pen retrieval. Were they doing the bend and snap?

The inability of some institutions to deal with dead people. We just got a credit union letter for my Dad who died in 2011. We informed them at the time and they were part of the probate process but they must still have his details stored somewhere.

We also keep getting letters for some guy who lived in our house years ago. We sent about 10 of them back and even phoned the place a couple of times to say we don't know who he is but they still keep sending letters.

TA that RTÉ want to tax Irish consumers on their Netflix, Prime, etc. subscriptions to fund the sh!te that they create.

Can't they take the hint that the Irish people would prefer to see the back of RTÉ?

Is there anything more TAing than the Boards rolleyes?

Oh god, beyond TA. With their stupid agenda, inflated egos and salaries etc. They really need to be nuked.

And I saw someone on Twitter mention that apparently it's Simon Coveny's brother that came up with this idea.

Not so much the back of RTÉ, but I reckon more the back of stiff upper body Tubridy, shouty O'Callaghan, omni-present Thomas, why-am-i-here Tiernan, f'in Ashmawy and plenty of others who are either massively overpaid, considerably under-talented or both :rolleyes: The place needs a massive shake-up, there's SO much unfound talent out there.

A few years ago, they added zebra crossing lines in the car park area and beyond, just so that you know how you're supposed to cross the road. You get funny looks from a certain type of employee, if you do your own thing. Looking at some people moving from one building to another is like a family of ducks waddling along in a line. A family of robotic, corporate ducks... :pac:
