Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Assume you work 9.00am-5.00pm Monday to Friday and are on leave this week and next week.

Just set your out of office message to come on at 5.00pm on Friday 12 July and to run until 9.00am on Monday 29 July.

The message should simply say "I am on annual leave until Monday 29 July and will not have access to email during this time. If your query is urgent and cannot wait until I return then please contact X. Please note that this email has not been forwarded."

If someone has an overly complicated out of office message or there is an incorrect return day and date combination leading to ambiguity, then they're probably a flake.

And seem to expect that you will automatically get out of their way. Nope, not happening.

Hotel chains calling their chain The *hotel name * Collection has to be one of the wankier "morketing" ideas.

It's even more annoying when you're behind them trying to get past and they're obliviously meandering all over the path. I was walking up Kildare St earlier and some bloke stepped off a bus directly into my path, managing to take up the entire path and every time I tried to go past him on either side, he moved to that side. I ended up nearly having to push him into the side of the Shelbourne to get around him.

I'm not sure I'll ever understand how some people are so completely oblivious to their surroundings.

happens on bikes too ….. when Im coming up behind a cyclist / walker / scooter on a bike lane sometimes they are all over the place (Deliveroo Im looking at you!) so when I do manage to pass I say something like "left or right, pick one" . Makes me feel good anyway …. Ringing the bell is a double edge sword, some folk think its aggressive and you are trying to force them out of the way, and if you dont ring it (and pass close by) they get a fright and they have words with you …. cant win!

Some people are just oblivious to others

Ignorance , lack of awareness or whatever it is

When your walking in a narrow shop/street and try and avoid waking into them.

They do the same and ye both jump in front of another again.

I'm listening to Chris de Burgh's "Don't Pay The Ferryman", singing along and really enjoying it!

White runners/sneakers/trainers. Look filthy after a short while, especially if you use them for actually running and training, but maybe not sneaking.

Next door neighbour is a complete and utter c*nt and bully. I reserve the C name for only a very few and he is at the top of the list. Neighbourhood cats come into the shared garden and onto the surrounding walls causing the dogs to bark when they have them staked out. He's starts shouting at the top of his voice "f*cking cats" while we are in the car park. He's doing this so we can hear. The cats are not ours, there is no law about them roaming and they keep the rodent population down from the local chipper. I've already had words over their dogs running loose, they don't always clean up after them and he has the nerve to give out out someone else's pets. This guy I recon has Narcissistic personality disorder because of his behavour, f*cking loves himself and makes himself out to be a really nice buy but under it he a nasty little man.

Next up, is it ok to let your 4 year old drive a digger while drunk and watching porn ?

Power walkers are awful for this too. I remember one time cycling along the cycle path on Childers Road Limerick and 3 power walkers come storming out of a bus. They hop right onto the cycle path and start marching at speed towards me as I’m cycling towards them. I had to get onto the footpath to avoid them. I shouted at them that it was a cycle lane and they shouldn’t be walking on it. All I got in response from the chubbiest walker was “ah shut up”

Anyway, today’s TA is a video that is played on the tvs in the main corridor at work. It’s played over and over again in a repetitive loop. The video is basically a video package showing the hospital’s history since it’s opening in the 1850’s accompanied by absolutely atrocious piano music. The soulless piano music gets inside your head and stays there all day. The video package also includes several clips of fake smiling politicians and executives lapping up all the attention during grand openings and announcements. If they only kept the volume turned down then my attention wouldn’t be drawn to it every time.

Throw them in the machine next time you're doing a towel wash. Just make sure you let them air dry rather than putting them in the dryer.

Those stupid Nike runners - are they Huaraches? - that stick out almost as much at the back as they do at the front. Clown shoes.

grabbed a couple of drinks and retired but because of this heat two thirds way though the first drink and the about 5 big ice cubes have melted…. Back to the kitchen, which sounds a lazy TA but I was tired and comfy ! Dammit ! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Looks like the fridge has packed in. Only 2 years old too. Brand names mean nothing these days. They're clearly all made in the same shite factory in Taiwan.

I was so warm overnight last night that I actually was dreaming I was in hell.

I think this springs from two things that I have observed which ta me, one, ppl feel so entitled that they assume other ppl will give way to them just bc. Two, parents/caregivers don't teach toddlers to be aware of their situations(like running freely on the path where elderly ppl may be walking etc). Both of which scare me as ppl may assume a situation is safe when its not.

Mater hospital ?

EVERYTHING being politicised! There was a case in the UK where a four year old needed 18 (yes really!!) bad teeth removed.

New Labour MP says "this shows the Tories can't manage health!"

No love this shows the parent(s) are useless and can't do the basics without being told!!

Jesus, people are dopes. I'm out for lunch and a woman just walked into the place I'm in and went straight up to a waiter who was very clearly in the middle of taking another table's order to ask for a table for herself. Just fcuking wait at the entrance like a normal person,for jaysis sake. Shaved valuable seconds off her day there 🙄
