Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

pgj2015

When you hear English sounding people on the radio say things like we are Irish we ………….. or we don't want that in this country because ……… You hear this quiet a lot in my opinion. its weird, like I wouldn't move to England and claim I am English, just because you live in Ireland now, doesn't make you Irish.

Had to google that to be sure what you were talking about.

Mark English... Irish Olympian. Double take TA.

Wondering what did foreign football fans make of seeing (Stephen) Ireland on the teamsheet for Ireland.

Its Summer middle of June and its so cold I'm thinking of lighting a fire?

And… just looking at new films on Amazon Prime - I didn't realise there were that many films with an IMDB rating of less than 3?

I've a friend who's married to somebody from there. He doesn't use either of those terms. He'd say "We're going to Czech for a week". Of course, I have to respond with something like "Will it take that long to make sure?". 😉

My major annoyance is that I'm stuck in (or on) bed because of the infection in my leg, but it's better than the other option the doctor gave, i.e. a hospital stay. I've had to cancel plans for going to a gig at the weekend, but the idea of using public transport to get home to Newbridge from the RDS on a Sunday night wasn't appealing either.

A genuinely distressed grandmother pouring her heart out to me, bc one of her grandkids has an easily preventable, common condition which is covered in the govt vax plan.

We are now on round 10 over 3 days as to why scientists aren't working on a cure for it!!!

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Also, a ta, that I can't complain to her that there isn't a lot of research on a cure for sld's, which are not easily preventable, either.

Story in the paper today about a woman who took her 7 year old with learning difficulties to see Pink in London, and was - rightly - asked to leave as he was nor behaving himself.

This is NOT the kid's fault in any way whatsoever but the a) the parent taking a kid with sensory issues to a rock concert - he would have been traumatised by it, not enjoying it - very wrong; b) her not caring about those round her who have paid hundreds to see the gig and c) going to the papers shaming the concert staff who did their jobs.

When did parental responsibility stop being a thing ???

Just keep on thinking how nice it will be after. I spent nearly four hours in one last week and it was torture. I hate them too.

I feel so sorry for that kid. Must of been a horrible and stressful situation for them. Shame on that mother for making him endure that, she should of known better.

Kind of sounds like the parents that don't book seats on flights but expect others who have paid for particular seats to move to accommodate them.

I don't have kids but i cried for that wee man - he must have felt so overwhelmed and the mother was like "he's such a big fan". So selfish.

TA - when that happens and you go "right Mr Fly, you dont pay rent so out you go sonny!" as the gardener is just outside and he thinks you've lost it!

You've only lost it if you expect a reply from the bluebottle.

They had a day-long outdoor disco today 🙄

I'm only posting this here because I was reading this thread when I got TA by an advert that covered the whole screen.

What is even more TA is that after it happened twice I can't replicate it again to do a screen shot to prove it happened :-(

I'm not really TA'd by the eyelashes but the lips and nose and sometimes around the eyes is, to me, usually noticeable and usually not an improvement. Natural is better in, I'd say 90% of the situations.

Watching the Germany / Hungary game and I thought Hungary scored , great I thought . But it’s Germany in the funny colours 😡 . Sorry @thomil

The last 10% of a project. Especially a tedious project. It's just hell.

There's a bird in the trees behind my house making noises that sound exactly like a Predator. It's starting to give me the anxiety.

Kingslayer

Varadker hoofed it and now Ryan has done the same. Pair of cowards. People are saying EM is a man of principles and morals, if that was true he would have stuck around and taken what he had coming to him. Whatever happened to the captain going down with his ship, the general leading his troops into battle?

You would have to wonder how much these two ever really cared for their parties when they can without a care just run off and leave them in the **** when the going gets tough.

Mod - Can we leave the political stuff for either the CA or Politics forum please?
Let's keep to the spirit of the thread, which is for trivial annoyances.

The bridal couple that thought it good timing to travel along a dual carriageway with their horse drawn cart during peak time. The traffic was even stopped to let them go first. Should have been shot on the spot.
