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

Telephone customer service in this country is the absolute pits. You have to endure a shitload of automated messages before you get a chance to speak to someone, and then once you finally reach the section you need you might then have to endure long hold times. While going through the automated messages you often hear "The best way to solve your query is to visit our website", mainly because they don't actually want you ringing them. Oftentimes when you go online to their site as they want you to do you can't find the information you need so you're at the mercy of their poxy telephone customer service.

i was on hold to ironically a telecommunications provider to get told repeatedly that I should go online ... so I did, their ‘chat’ online function referred me back to calling the telephone line.. 1850 vvv vvv.... nice... glad I’m not a regular customer or ever will be.

TA That image is now ingrained in my head for eternity.

People who use terms like 'Big Tech', 'MSM' and 'woke'. The next step in the evolution of gobshites who used to go on about 'sheeple'.

The same goes for Let agreed.

I had a dream last week where I was shopping in a supermarket. Always amazes me the stuff my subconscious can come up with...

Anyway, I was buying a packet of biscuits - triple chocolate Mcvitie's Digestive Gold. Except they don't actually exist, and a week later my fat ass still wants biscuits...

Trying to find my dog's poos amongst all the fallen leaves on the ground. It's only a matter of time before I find one by stepping in it.

The fact that The Chieftains anthology is the rte radio 1 album of the week.

Not a fan of that kinda music.

The absolute worst side effect of this virus

Facebook Dating . What is it with the cute Chinese girls who say , " I don't use this platform much, so add me on hangouts, WhatsApp etc. For someone based, supposedly in Dublin , why are still using a Chinese phone number. So F off and stop annoying me !

I've bought falafel in Aldi, not recently though so maybe they've stopped selling it now.

Which would you recommend, med or Moroccan ?

Personally, I prefer Moroccan.

You can still put people on ignore but I’m struggling to find a list to see who is on it alright.

TA I had to use Urban Dictionary again 😄

TA'd at all these labels

I've seen at least 8 tops that I like in the sales so far, until I realise that they have their BRANDNAME emblazoned across the front or down the sleeve or anywhere, effectively ruining the look that I initially liked.

These also aren't cheap, even in the sale, so why the feck would I pay to be their walking billboard advertisement, for what is now, an ugly top? They pay celebrities tens/hundreds of thousands to wear them, if they want me to wear that crap, they could at least give it to me for free, and even then I would still have to think about it.

Even some football jerseys are now sold without the big ugly sponsor across the front.

Maybe they're really some fat bloke in Siberia? CCP bots, who knows?

It is why I go retro without the Brand.

That crossed my once or a hundred times alright 😁 , especially for someone allegedly based in Dublin they have russian/ Chinese etc number.

Spam has really taken off in Covid times. We're literally a captive audience. Not just dating , but another FB game I play ( words with friends, ie scrabble) is inundated with it too.

( real TA is despite this I haven't got the ride out of it !!!!! ) . Maybe for PI :)

Ha, I called it 😆

Fine Gael TD calls for Lotto to be more 'winnable'

...said there should be an investigation after no winner of the top Lotto jackpot in almost six months.

Surely that's done an untold amount of damage to the National Lottery and - moreso - the charities that benefit. Overheard someone this morning say "it's too dear to be playing" when this came on the radio earlier, and I completely agree, particularly given that the prize breakdown is so sh!t.

I think when they privatised it, it did a lot of damage anyway. Then all the machines started going down before a big jackpot draw etc. didn't help.

Would love to see the figures.

Good help anyone if you crack a fart though. ( blame it on the dog :) )

The charitable aspect hasn't changed, the State just outsourced the operation of the games to a commercial entity rather than doing it themselves.
