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

Submitted an application for a job I haven't done in............almost 13 years. Don't actually know if I can still do it but my current job is becoming more and more unbearable with my new manager. I know well I could quickly re-learn all the stuff I'd need to do the job but the anxiety over the interview (if I even get called for an interview!) is like a dead weight in my chest.

TA'd that I don't know if the first part is an in-joke or reference I'm not aware of.

Dog hair. Dog hair err'where.

Damien Delaney making an absolute holy show of himself as a pundit for RTE… then proceeding to being a rude toys out of the pram condescending prick to Brian Kerr in the manner he disagrees with him… replays are shown and on the two points he is causing a fuss over… Kerr is shown to be correct… when politely pulled up on it by Kerr, Delaney maintains he is still correct despite the TV replays from multiple slowed down angles providing evidence clearly to the contrary… 😂 he’s claiming a defender was touch tight when about a meter existed between them.

basically a childish spoofer, that taxpayers like ourselves are paying for…. Surly there has to be some research, training and testing to establish if an ex pro is suitable for the gig, or does knowing so and so and having been a lower league journeyman footballer with 9 caps and a nice suit entitle you to go on telly shouting and interrupting people while giving a fictitious take on events while the taxpayers pay for the privilege…..ffs.

ahh my bad, point about his performance stands though

Stretch of road in rural area near me where residents pick litter and put it atop tree branches along the side of the road.

I get the point they're trying to make to highlight the issue and it's absolutely disgusting that people litter in first place...but...the toerags who littered in the first place aren't going to suddenly get a conscience by seeing their filth on display so I think it would be time better served just bagging up the litter and disposing it rather than taking the time to decorate the trees with it and make the area look even more manky.

We have a nuisance regular visitor in work. Like any tourism business, 90% of our service is solely for the paying customers having a guided tour and accommodating larger groups, and as anyone in the industry knows, the busy part of the season begins now. We have, thankfully, been flat to the mat with school tours recently after a covid-led hiatus.

We also have research facilities, but almost exclusively limited to a local theme (people looking up ancestors generally). Whatever we have on our database, however small, is the only info we'd have. Everyone understands this.

However, there is this local fella who doesn't seem to get that at all. For the last three days he has come in with the exact same question, which we can't help him with. It'd be like going into a Vodafone shop looking for info on a new dishwasher. I'd say he visits at least twice a week and has done so since the turn of the year.

He always seems to have a knack of coming in (always without paying) when we are busy and a couple of times has even interrupted tours with the same question he asked a day earlier. Always seems to have a new 'project' to bombard us with questions about.

Now, he is unemployed, wears the same clothes every time, has terrible BO and is the real-life embodiment of a stereotypical loner that's just a bit....strange....so I assume he is probably on the spectrum, but even dropping casual hints that we can't just drop everything to cater for him doesn't seem to register.

I dread the sight of him.

Yes, I’d find a way of denying him access and being very to the point with him… “ look, you’ve been here, X times, the same questions but we can’t help as we’ve repeatedly told you… You need to stop and allow us to continue our work…. People are paying for the tour it’s inappropriate to interrupt it on them.

My father has a hospital appointment but he wants to get the bus, vaccinated as he is but when the journey in a car is 20 minutes, you’ve been offered a lift… grrrr

Well you,ve just solved a puzzle or me.

Wondering what the idea of cans bottles etc put on branches was. A bit of a silly one as most of the stuff is thrown out of windows of cars not from people walking. Cant imagine they'd be too bothered by this, and I dont really see the sense in it

Do up a big fancy letter for someone laying out their position about a problem they're having and what they would like to happen. Only for them to turn around and say they're not going to use it and instead are just going to wait for some magic fairy to come along and make the problem go away instead.

No good deed goes unpunished and all that.

Radio DJs with their stupid put-on w@nky accents. There's two Daves on one of the stations. 'nnoying as foookkkkkkk 🙉

Radio DJs that bring up a trivial anecdote time and again over their whole shift.

The radio DJ who keeps referring to himself as "Your boy Melvin".

"Use pin pad to complete transaction".

That's something someone scribbled over lunch before the meeting on what sentences needed to be recorded for the self-serve tills.

And no-one, NO-ONE at any level of management or developers thought it sounded terrible??

"Use THE pin pad to complete YOUR transaction".

Easy.

And RTÉ news presenters don't getaway with reading newspaper-style headlines - THEY'RE SHORT TO CATCH THE EYE, FFS, it doesn't work aurally.

Doesn't matter, it'll be redeveloped!

Conveyor-belt Syndrome.
