Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

people who spend an inordinate amount of time getting ready in the mornings and who in the process monopolise the bathroom for about 30 minutes to the point I’m wondering if they are having their breakfast in there, odd.

I forgot to get naans with my takeaway . I can normally stretch it out to 2days with naans

Seeing the forecast I message the fam and asked them to put any washing or refreshing they wanted done into a laundry basket, knowing this is a foreign concept for some I message them twice more.

Wash went on Friday afternoon and came off the line on Saturday pm.

Late Saturday, there was more washing to be done in the machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh dear lord, no. Batch loaf =/= naan.

Lesson learned: always have emergency naan in the freezer. Aldi do excellent ones.

My TA: the staff in Spar on Hanover Quay insisting that they can't sell wine until after 12.30 on bank holiday Mondays. Wrong, that's Sundays and St. Patrick's Day only, yis dopes. Would have suited me to grab it while I was out walking the dogs, but no, now I have to go back out later. I'll be going to a different shop, I can tell you!

I’ve done it before , while it’s not perfect , it does do the job . Though I do love batch bread

Cling Film :

That,

1. Doesn't. (cling)
2. That comes in a box so weak that it crumples under the strain needed to tear the film on the ineffective integrated cutter.

Very trivial…. but verrrry annoying.

Making an online grocery order, with the box clearly ticked for "No Substitutions" and they give you substitutes anyway.

Then you have to hand back the substituted items that you didn't ask for, and wait for a refund "in 5-7 days".

google business entries.

The opening times listed for a specialist sports equipment retailer Mon 09:00-19:00, but “June bank holiday might affect these hours.”

What good is ‘might’ ! it’s a 16 kilometre round trip…

I want to know until what time said business is open until, not when it might be open until.

Also I’ve attempted 3 times to call then… ages on hold each time without anyone picking up….

at about 2.10 am my neighbours get into their car and head off…my thought foolishly is ‘ ok, unusual , but maybe someone is working nights now. ‘ 🤪 they returned at about 5 am…. I’m woken by multiple slamming doors of said car in their driveway. The impression I have is that they are let’s say, all under the influence of something …. And other behaviours recently would corroborate that. What can be done about it is another thing. 😏

How is it "exercise" when I use a stair step to do step exercises, but according to the staff physio going up and down the 4 flights of steps at work isn't?

My TA is whatever bloody pollen is around this year, it is causing me to have a constant feeling of having a high temperature. My head is on fire and the antihistamines that I take all year round don't seem to be having any impact. The only break I have gotten from this feeling was when I went on holidays last month for a view days, felt great over there but this high temperature was back again the day after my return.

My ears are different heights. So my glasses are always wonky

Medical providers that ask you to check your cover with your health insurer but dont include the procedure or diagnostic scan code.

The side effect of my pain meds have kicked in meaning I’m on the LUAS feeling a little nauseated and very drowsy but the pain killing part has yet to arrive so I’m still in pain. Ugh.

Other annoyance - saying to a friend (or I thought a friend..) that on opiates whilst waiting for an MRI and being worried that the pain might be something bad and they reply “oh I wish I had them!! Can I have a couple ??!”

People are horrible.

TAed that a new TA thread has started and I missed it. That was after of course me being TAed that I hadn't seen any good TA's recently because I though the thread had gone dry.
