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

I used to despise the general staff meetings in my old department. They would ramble on for almost two hours with the same people who loved the sound of their own voices talking utter sh!te while all the lab samples kept building up. This meant we were rushing like crazy after the meetings finished in order to catch up.

Any form of this experience annoys me:

A person despite warnings keeps pushing me for info about my life, my quals etc.

Bar telling a colleague to FO there was no way of avoiding this convo, so she asked if did I do x exam in a former work lifetime and I said yes but I didn't progress as I couldn't pass the exams*

She then says, Oh mine did and went on to be (insert high-brow jobs in the industry), wtf, I said I'm unfit for the industry and tells me how wonderful her kids are at it!🤮

*exams which are notoriously hard to pass if I had a normal brain and normal ppl working in the industry have trouble passing.

Somebody in Donegal has created an account on a website called MyProtein.ie using my email address and placed an order. not the first time this has happened. the last time it was a lad in Scotland who created an account on some clothing website and created multiple orders. I contacted the website but got no reply. so i reset the password and cancelled the orders. I imagine I will have to do the same this time.

Any Ryanair ads, as you know you're going to be screwed somehow.

O'Leary, the Pied Wiper, gets more free publicity..

Fckued up my back again.

Being fairly diligent about putting on suncream on yesterday and still managing to get burnt!

Yes, Ryanair has been a model of transparency and customer service. These are the c*nts who charged ten individual credit card transaction fees on a return booking payment for a family of five, one per seat, until the EU ended that particular gallop.

He was quite shook after he was creamed, quite a bit of confusion on his face. He'll be raging he didn't smile and make an instant quip through the instant whip. Bent and fumbling not an authoritive look at all.

I couldn't help noticing the Cutout of Ursula von der leyon. Did he deliberately undersize her?

In the pre cartels and monopolies days, everything was too expensive. Literally everything. Deregulation and competition were the main drivers of lower prices, resistance in the Airline industry among the highest. You can thank the EU in long run for the free and open market for everything, not Mol.

Businesses will still find ways to gouge you however, tacit cartels, sharp practices gentleman's agreements and monopolies in all but name still exist. Look what you're paying for electricity. Twice the European average. Look what you pay to see a starlet in the point depot, and your choice of ticket vendors. Do you know how much of your Just Eat purchase goes to the producer? Have you priced a flight to France this weekend? Free market works both ways, freedom to compete, and freedom to charge what you like. Imagine paying treble the fare on the 46a because it's rush hour? That's MOLs world. I wouldn't canonise him just yet.

Working from my boyfriend's house today, which backs directly onto a school. They stagger the breaks, which means there seems to constantly be kids in the yard, and mother of christ, do they scream. I do *not * remember my own schoolyard being remotely as frenzied.

One of my long-time ex-colleagues passed away over Christmas, She worked in a fem-centric organisation and they were all "girl power", "women doing it for themselves" blah blah blah.

The firm has motivated the subsidiaries to have a charity fundraiser for the charity ex-colleagues "set up" when she was ill. I happened on the events social media and so many messages are variations of her stories about how the women in her family tell stories of pulling together to keep families in homes/fed when poverty was at its worst in the city she was from.

Messages all about women pulling together to help other women less fortunate/sick etc., how inspiring she was etc.

Interesting original message from the person who played centre stage in a bullying campaign against another woman.

I can't tell if it's the hyperbole or hypocrisy that ta's me most.

German / French / Dutch DVD & BD releases of UK and US television series.

The TA is on-screen credits / menus / inlays not being in English so it’s difficult to initially know which episode you’re watching.

All three of the chippers near me. All of whom happen to be owned by the same family. 10pm every night. Except Monday and Tuesday, when they don't open at all.

I’m about 150 meters from a school and the same… they pass my place to go home for lunch and at home time….the kids for some reason, all fellas are absolutely shrieking at each other at mega decibels, I know that wasn’t a thing at any time during my childhood or adolescence so what’s the craic with it now… ? Boisterousness certainly we were that and some… but male kids screaming and screeching at each other like lunatics ? Bizarre…it’s only a thing in the last few years… 😵‍💫

thank fûck for double glazing.
