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

Never trusting the blurb on Netflix again.

The blurb (recommendation) on Netflix - it was about comedian (Trevor Noah). Oprah Winfrey said it gave her a 'laughing headache'. OK - I thought it must be fairly decent if someone gets a 'laughing headache'.

Jayus, I only had it on 10 minutes and thought this is crap and even fast forwarded it still rubbish. At least I learnt Winfrey has no sense of humour. It was like a TED talk not a comedy show.

Imagine going into a busy takeaway for a collection, with waiting times of an hour, and not remembering what name the order is under.

Thick fooks.

I don't know what crusties means, but yeah I'd definitely be put off going there for the winter solstice by the kind of people in the news. I'm sure there must be a rendition of kum ba yah.

Dunnes being stingy on vouchers over Christmas.

Normally if you spend over 75 you get a 10 and a 5 voucher for the next time.

Spent 87 on 23 December. Just looking at receipt and they only gave me a 10 voucher to be used by 4 January. Double checked app and same there.

I usually buy myself a present for christmas so I have something to do over christmas and avoid as much family b.s. as possible. But my present has been sitting in the Portlaoise mail centre since the 21st of December, without any update on the tracking since that date.

It's now the 28th of December! and still no updates, like if there's some kind of problem, would they not update it on the tracking? Even just a "our services are very busy at the moment, expect delays" or something to that effect would help, but nothing... Grrr...

Your package will only get a scan when its moved and picked up by the next link in the delivery chain. No new scan means its not moved.

Giving non tech savvy elderly people stuff like your phone number or email address so they can create accounts with businesses only then to find that you keep getting all sorts of notifications to your phone / email addresses, also it’s happened twice in the last 4 years whereby I would like to use one of the services myself but I have to open a new email address ….because they are using my original one.

If you’d just look after your own shït, sit down and work out, as you did before how to open an email address, keep accessing it every few weeks so it doesn’t get mothballed… I don’t believe in this day and age anyone regardless of their age can find difficulty with setting up and reading email…. Email has been in regular everyday use since the 1990’s ffs….the person concerned used it everyday in their work….It’s beyond tiring.

Yeah , but are you doing it properly 😝

The sort of people who dislike using soap.

My scone exploded :(

It was heated when served in the cafe and i picked it up to cut it in half to butter it. The second the knife went into the crisp exterior it just blew up in my hands and fell into about a hundred pieces.

Communal bins and no one seems to be about to flatten a box. Space was at a premium over the christmas. Number of black bins and people keep putting bags into the full one so the lid can't close. The one next to it is f*cking empty.

The mention of bins reminds me of other annoyances. A bin seems to be a conceptual idea to many in Ireland in that once your rubbish is placed in, on or around the bin your are rid of your rubbish and it then becomes an SEP (Someone Elses Problem).

I walk the dogs along the beach and sometimes up into a carpark where there are no council bins. I noticed one day after a storm someone's bin had blow into the carpark. A week later when I returned the bin was full and there was rubbish piled up all around it, so much so you could hardly see the bin. People must have actually driven out to the car park with their rubbish to dump it because I don't think people carry black bags with them in the car. Anyone with the slightest brain would have noticed this wasn't an official bin.

Other annoyances regarding rubbish include. Bottle banks, saw that some fool had left a load of double glazing pains propped up against the local bottle bank, another day there was a pile of pyrex dishes. Skips, if you have a skip it means your neighbors are free to get rid of their rubbish.

And finally if you pick up someone elses rubbish to use it then it becomes your rubbish that you need to get rid of responsibly. A story I have told before is that I saw a guy on the beach hunt around and find a plastic water bottle and then use it to wash his car from the water in the river. I was walking the dogs so walked past and came back about half an hour later only to see him throw the water bottle down the beach. I shouted to him to pick it up and of course his excuse was it was rubbish on beach that was there when he got there.
