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

Absolutely floored with a head-cold that (judging by the piercing pain in my lungs occassionally) seems to have progressed to my chest too.

Can't get a doctor's appointment, nor a day off work, so may just soldier on, but the prospect of getting my arse soaked off me in the forecast rain tomorrow isn't appealing in the slightest.

The strange vaguely luke warm wet blackened things called chips in KFC. Bleurgh.

Hmmm, I'm glad I don't work where you work. Record yourself coughing etc etc and get a sick note when you do manage to get a doctor appointment. If you have private or work healthcare you might be able to get an online apt.

If you are sick you are going to spread it to others and you are not helping yourself getting better.

For the last week or so I thought the touchpad on my laptop was going faulty, all sorts of odd things happening. TA'd it only occurred to me tonight to check the settings and sure enough some tap and drag and some other setting was ticked. Must have been an update or something because I didn't change them. Was quite annoying 😀

'Go sports'

I was almost at the end of typing a post highlighting Bus Eireann’s never ending incompetence and the page decides to reload itself. I completely lost my post as a result. The site mechanics have gone to the dogs. I’m raging now because I lost everything I typed out!!

That I was making coffee and the power has gone . Also there's snow on the ground

😡

One good leg and a cane = VERY wobbly

Drivers who seem to think the speed limit in the auxiliary lane of the M50 is lower than on the mainline.

Went in to grab a coffee this morning, but they couldn't take my order in the place as the register was down. However, my TA is that they could accept online orders, presumably because its fully automated aside from physically making the coffee.

Have we really become that dependent on technology that having a broken cash register means you can't just accept cash, figure out the change, and then put it through the register later?

I was shafted on this one but a very professional and helpful person working for the courier company has assured me it’s down to them only receiving my package today from the clothing company I bought from and not in time for today’s delivery cycle. I’ll have it tomorrow…….anyway…

Regularly, when I'm out on my postal route, and happen upon a customer on the road that is expecting a parcel, I flash them down, and give it to them there and then. At least they physically have it in their possession now and it saves me a stop/ writing out a DIB. They are usually happy that I showed initiative. I even did it twice today in the pissings of rain, and they were delighted I flagged them down.

Then there is the (very regular) parcel getter I met later in the afternoon. For context, she lives very close to a bad bend and always has her manual gate closed, which means I have to park up in a dangerous spot while opening the gate and do the same exiting. Never has the wherewithal to perhaps keep it open during the rough window the postman usually arrives (and her dogs are ALWAYS inside so aren't a flight risk). Would hardly even open the door for me if she knows I'm lugging a heavy parcel.

So I spot her out walking her toddler in one of those new fangled prams with the massive storage pouch underneath the carriage. Right says I, she'll be happy enough if I give her the parcel now to save us both the hassle (and it 100% would have fit in the pouch) Pfft, looked at me like I had two heads and abruptly told me to drop it at the house without even a 'please', 'thank you' or even 'do you mind?'.

Now I'm ratty enough as it is due to my dose and long hours lately, but her rudeness really TA'd me.

Shop assistants who bundle clothes into a bag instead of folding them after you buy them.

I always make a point of taking them out of the bag at the counter and folding them properly before putting them back in the bag.

I applaud this level of pettiness 😂
