Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

I've to get the bus into Taylor Swift later, dreading it already.

I actually bought Bose noise cancelling headphones this week specifically to drown out the Bus Dopes™️, but I'm not risking bringing them to the gig.

I was reading a comment on a Facebook page this morning which contained “phrases” such as should of, had of, they of, he of. I was getting a headache trying to make sense of it. Grammar these days is shockingly bad, mainly because of the use of text speak.

If organiser does not acknowledge or apologise for this, then make your dissatisfaction known.

Somebody waves or says hello.

You respond the same to them.

You then relies.

It wasn't meant for you.

The Home Show with a "how to decorate your home with themes from Taylor Swift's Eras"

Whole country losing its collective mind fawning over TS.

I bet you say that to all the countries.

"I LOVE YOU (checks notes) IRELAND!"

Looking for a bargain for male relative?

I got one of my best bargain from going through the racks of womens cloths - I'm a man ;-)

Spotted some green wax cotton on the rack of womens coats. Took a look and found a brand new Barbour Stockman jacket in my size - €5!

If you don't look you won't find, but my guess is the men that those women are buying for haven't ever bought their own clothes.

In fairness to her, sounds like she put on an amazing concert for 3 1/2 hours, singer, songwriter, dancer, musician. And she's doing it again tonight and tomorrow night. Unreal.

I've started going back to concerts over a year ago, and maybe it's my excellent taste in music 😁, but they've all been brilliant concerts. Bands really shining live. Definitely don't like huge outdoor concerts as the weather is a risk, and you get a load of uninterested people at them. But it looks like it'll be dry for TS tonight, which will be a huge relief for anyone going.

My TA, is that even though I know 2 of her songs, the FOMO is strong. 😁

Buying for fabric or colour with plans to feminise or cut down for a youngster. I see this in people newer to Ireland and still have old fashioned sewing skills.

*Something a lot of Irish people don't have now or anymore.

Guilt tripping about ‘shopping local’. I do my best but I can see why some people just don’t bother. I went to 4 different hardware shops and motor factors in my town to find a small pack of rubber grommets. I only need 4 for a small job. Everywhere just sold big kits of 100 in various sizes.
FFS. I ordered them off AliExpress in the end. Good thing I’m not in a rush.
Wasted time and energy and fuel running around and possibly have 96 grommets sitting in my garage for the next 20 years before I throw them in the bin or get an envelope posted from China. How are those my 2 choices???

the amount of artists, actors, musicians and celebrities appearing in TV advertisements hawking whatever product or business…

Penelope Cruz doing the Emirates advertisement is one trivially annoying one…. She seems about as sincere and about as interested as a corpse. As an experienced actress you might think she might have the nouse / skills to try and convince you that it’s a terrific airline , experience and product… but… 🥱

Reading an online dating profile and thinking you've found a great match. Then you relies your reading your own.
