Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

That Lidl advert for women's GAA, about how we all need to fill the stadiums for them cos we do it for the men.

First off, many many mens games are far from full houses.

Secondly, I get the feeling that the advert is hinting that us men need to come out and watch the women play? Is that on us? You can't guilt people into going to a sport if they don't want to. If the product was fantastic entertainment, the crowds will come. Of course some men simply will never watch a women's game, same way my OH never watches a soccer game.

It's on the women of Ireland, get out there and start buying the tickets. According to the ads, it's in your blood!

Aspersions might be cast as to a single gentleman going to watch a game that they are perhaps ahem not there to admire the sporting talent either!

My TA is the ad to encourage girls to participate in GAA, that appears to send the girl home by way of a zombie graveyard in the dark. Well of course, that's going to deter participation.

At the end of a consultation with a healthcare practitioner, I mentioned that my ears were itchy and flakey.

Without even looking they say, "Once you eat clean and go sugar-free that will clear".

Accidentally put CS Jell in my ears and the symptoms have cleared for over a week now, ta hcp's blaming symptoms on things they don't like. 2. then wonder when clients don't follow their advice having been told this or that is the cause of everything they are asked about and it's proved it's not.

Seeing young lads pretend fight their friends, I see this all the time, you aren't a ufc fighter ya little twat, it's usually done to the weakest in the group as well, bullying more or less.

D1ck heads walking past my window at 3am this morning, having a "hilarious" conversation at the top of their voices. It's summer time, people have their bedroom windows open because of the heat, shut the fk up.

I’m really tempted to vandalise this fcuking thing with a lump hammer. The 101 bus time has been stuck on 2 minutes for the last ten minutes!!

"Next Bus Dublin" app has better info than the bus stops.

Motor insurance companies having a website generated rate and a more expensive rate not within an asses roar of the website rate when you actually ring them.

Gazumping insurance based on change of occupation boils my piss too, based on stupid stereotypical assumptions of risk of a job they know nothing about.

People who wave their arms and hands around too emphatically when talking. Was in a meeting today and one of the people in it looked like he was wrestling an invisible bear.

this is bordering on not a TA, but a VTA….

here is a photo from Coca Cola of their environmentally friendly attached cap. Everyone who has ever bought these drinks, knows that instead of the cap folding away conveniently as they depict above so you may drink easily and unobstructed, they instead rebound back into the path of the drink, the bottle opening and your mouth……🥱

I had a hankering for noodles , but they are use by 2019 to 2022 😡

Pot noodles it is

TA this morning. Have to travel for work at short notice. As work was covering costs decided to treat myself to an extra legroom seat on plane. Actually selected a normal seat in next row. D'oh!

It'll just disappear any moment now with no bus to be seen

Dublin bus and Irish rail get away with murder

The sound of an empty can rolling during the night. If I hear one during the day I will make a point to go out and hunt it down when I can see it.

as a pedestrian (and occasional cyclist) I say "thank you" …. So many drivers dont think about what goes on outside their car wrt how ppl will react to their actions. Heard a good one recently "a bad driver never misses their exit. a good driver will (ie they will go the next one)"

My rear parking sensors only activate when car is in reverse gear!

I thought that would be the norm, or you would be driven demented in city traffic.

When your kid(s) are off school and inside on a beautiful sunny day like it was winter or covid or something. And we have such few sunny days. And you are stuck inside because you have to work.

Usually the types that try to make a point that all state services should use Irish.

In reality their needs will still get processed albeit not as fast obviously because most staff only speak and understand English. So their loss.

Another TA for the day.

Anyone over the age of 25 that refers to themselves as a Swifty.

Like I think Taylor Swift is one of the best pop stars of all-time in terms of catchy tunes alone, and have been known to sing along to many of her hits, but the deification of her as a 'movement' has gone out of hand. I mean, renting out the 3 Arena just to sell (over-priced and I'm sure ethically sourced) merch is a bit much no? Especially with the astronomical price of a ticket to her show as it is.

News items about her due to arrive into the country (so she can make even more money)- if it was a backwater regional US city not used to international acts I'd understand the hype, but she is playing in a capital city of a wealthy Western European country.

'Swiftys' suddenly becoming NFL fans (where they stick out like a sore thumb) because she happens to be dating a player that was a legend in his own right before all this.

It's no wonder she is at the height of her fame at a time when younger people are more sensitive and have less get-up-and-go about them.

As she would say herself 'You Need to Calm Down'

get tagged on social media … as per the notification it’s about a certain show that’s being put on in a famous theater on Dame St….I look up the persons name. It’s a soap actress. I don’t follow them or have any interest in them or soaps.

I do follow the theatre so I presume that the theatre has enabled the actress’s management with the accounts of their followers here. 🤬

Sortof. I think you get to sit at Cabinet but not vote. Theres probably another joke in there somewhere...
