Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Ministers, junior ministers, super junior ministers. It's the Dail version of everyone gets a medal on school sports day.

Another joke is Minister for heritage, arts, gaelgoirs and all of the things.

Varadkar getting all trendy and "down with the kids" (who can't get a house anywhere) with Pride.

T.a. that when taking public transport, one can put in their headphones to drown out the annoying external noise of others but there's nothing you can do quench the bad breath of the person sitting behind you.

I've fantasized far too many times about some kind of sound insulated pod system, where each person has their own personal space.

Maybe we could replace Dublin bus with a network of gondola that traveled high up, above the city 😂 then I could have a nice view of the city and some peace and quiet at the same time.

The family online buying debit card is with a well-known Irish bank, it fails the authentication test most of the time🙄. I have come to expect this, this am it bounced bc the purchase would have left a single cent in the charge-free account.

Lunchtime meetings

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.

Have you considered cloning yerself? I think you would make a lovely couple!😜

I eventually gave in, and went to hospital to sort out my leg. Loads of TAs and THs today, but the annoyance at the moment is an empty IV drip attached to me with nobody to remove it. (I'm sure the drip is thinking the same thing about me…😉).

I've even pressed that buzzer thing to get help (which I rarely do), but people must be on their break. I was going to remove it myself but I'd probably twist the cannula and make things worse.

My post in the TH thread …. “freak fückwit loud neighbours have all disappeared and haven’t been heard clanging about since about 5pm… hopefully I have not spoken too soon. 2.20 am so I might be safe. Pure silence I’m experiencing is bliss.”

Reality …. Sometime just before 5am being woken by them returning, doors banging, loud exaggerated psycho off their face guffawing…..im impossible to wake once I fall asleep but the racket……….

They smoke outside so it’s quiet for a few mins then they go outside to smoke and off again…

These are not 18/19 year old kids, they are mid 20’s, the one I know has completed a masters degree so far from uneducated

^ it’s the same here, this all started during covid, I can empathise

My TA..The continued death of customer services 😵‍💫. Go to purchase a product online, ‘out of stock’

Call the store, they don’t take calls apparently and instead their message refers me to their website. I email them. Only to receive an email back……

“The group customerservices only accepts messages from people in its organization or on its allowed senders list, and your email address isn't on the list.”

So they won’t let me phone, won’t let me email…. 😅. I’m trying to hand these cünts about 280 euros and be in receipt of a product. just so as my time is not wasted I want to know which of their X number of shops has the thing…Otherwise i could be going Airside-Liffey Valley-Pavillions-Blanch…im not doing that…Absolute fúcking melts.

That different makers of the same tablet are different colours . The tablet I call my ZZZ one used to be blue , now white , the same as my other ones . No wonder I’ve dozed off these last few days 😡

Yeah, it's from the other Dracula movie at the time. It's funny how movies always seem to or used to come in pairs.
