Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Ony £1800 each

Oh it would be totally worth it!!! Though if my dog ever asks - rescue greyhounds for a 200 euro donation are WELL better!!!

Had made a nice little lunch for myself which I had planned to eat at some stage mid-morning.

However, somehow, this morning I threw my bag into a different van, which is identical to mine and parked right next to it. Complete brain-fart. Didn't even have a bottle of water to keep me going (nor my wallet to stop in a shop en route). I was starving by the time I finished.

Was listening to Newstalk last week, a few radio presenters were talking about Ardal O Hanlon, Tommy Tiernan and Patrick Kielty meeting the pope. something to do with the pope wanting to meet comedians to make him seem more cool or something.

One of the female presenters who seemed to be brought on to talk about this topic, said she wasnt sure if the pope knew that Ardal O Hanlon played fr Dougal in Fr Ted, she said I must check that out and see if he knows about Fr Ted 🤦‍♂️ You could google that in a minute and find it out, why are you on this show telling us about it not knowing what the hell you are talking about? how lazy and incompetent are you?

Then later she says "I think its hilarious that the pope has a great sense of humor and is meeting Ardal O Hanlon knowing he played Fr Dougal on Fr Ted". You just said you didnt know if he knew, how is she being paid to do that job?

A female presenter on Radio Kerry yesterday, talking about a politician using the term 'Girls' for females that were elected, she went on to say that is was about the tone being used and the person saying it, as in 'girl' is ok for certain people-my thinking is that any word takes on a different meaning when used in a certain tone, be it man, woman, female, male. lady, gentleman.

She went on to talk about 'ladies football' that ladies is not used correctly, as it's far from a 'ladylike' sport, I nearly spat my tea. I know lots of 'ladies' involved in physical sports, they are definitely ladies, but it not because they do or don't play sport.

What pot the icing on the cake for me was, in her next breath, she was introducing a 'female' who had a problem on a beach over the weekend, the wording she chose was, "our next topic is about a 'lady' that was on a beach over the weekend." How do we know she's a lady? how does the presenter know she's a 'lady?

This bloody political correctness is gone around in circles.

Yes, works every time for me.

I'll never see 50 again and if anyone wants to call me a girl please do so loudly and often!!!!!

people that to gain some attention and pleasure out of life they need to say or do things with the sole intention of just provoking a certain reaction out of other people.

You see it everywhere, I’ve an elderly relative and if you say black, they’ll say white and the following time you see them they’ll contradict what they’ve previously told you… so there is now general ambivalence from people as regards wanting to spend any time with them….

No, it was a female.

Kids wielding hurleys and sliotars this time of the year. They bring their hurleys with them when they hang around with their friends, then randomly wallop the sliotar against the walls as they go along. I wonder how many cars have been damaged by these wannabe intercounty stars.

We're good people!!!!!

Our depot would be very busy with outgoing parcels every evening. The vast majority would either be those plastic packaging used by boutiques or various sized cardboard boxes with light goods inside. We have everything stored in containers ready to go well in advance of the lorry coming down to collect them so there's as little delay as possible.

However, there is one local company in the heavy machinery industry that very often pop down at the last minute, and nearly all their outgoing parcels are heavy duty. For example, today they had a fecking seat for a crane that must have weighed 40KG. The containers are already loaded, where the feck am I going to store that, without squishing and more than likely damaging other (paying) customers goods? The effort of making room when it was already all systems go.

Like, they are literally a two-minute drive from the depot, all they have to do is call in earlier in the day if they have particularly heavy stuff, so we can load them first and build any subsequent parcels around it.

And the illuminous white teeth.
