Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

it might be the July Provision for kids with special needs

If you recognise some voices and names it would suggest that its July Provision. As classes with Special Needs children then to be much smaller. It would also explain why one of kids also makes a regular owl noise

That's a fair point. Not the thread to debate TA's. Apologies

My TA, I have a 2,500 word essay due on Friday and I’m looking at Boards. Will have to pull a few all nighters again …

Had 1 coffee yesterday and had a short restless sleep last night. One day my brain will make the connection.

T.a. those greasy head marks people leave on bus windows. Great! now I can't see out the window properly, which is one of the only escapes from having to use the bus service.

Go on you know you want to ;-)

When people won’t clean kitchen appliances after use. I admit I am fairly neurotic about cleaning after each use as it’s so much easier than trying to deal with burnt in grime.
Not judgemental but I cannot believe the state of some ovens I’ve encountered and have had to clean. A cup of hot water in the base while it cools and then a quick wipe saves time and effort later.

Gave my air fryer to a neighbour whose oven was broken. It’s returned a week later with much thanks but not cleaned. I spent the afternoon returning it to spotless and glad it was only a week’s worth of cooking grime.

Must get a life!

Got in an argument once about Barbie.

I had no real interest in going out of my way to see it at the cinema and I was nearly straight out accused of being a "toxic male" because I couldn't care less about watching it.

I'm still in hospital, having gone private for the first time, so I have my own telly. This morning, as the person came to take my bloods, I shifted on the bed and accidentally turned on cartoons on TG4. I didn't know where exactly the remote control was so I couldn't change it, so I probably looked like a right goon watching cartoons as Gaeilge first thing in the morning. 😳😕

The microwave died yes, just in time as there was a load going to the recycling yard. Luckily there was an ancient one hanging around and I set this one up.

This am a lot of complaining about how it's a grill oven, NOT a microwave and how the button had to be pushed 10 times to heat breakfast. The mv for recycling was simpler to use granted. Knowing this would happen I went out after work and d/l the instructions and marked the relevant pages.

Just now more whining about how they can't use it, I pointed out the instructions and asked if they read it where i marked it?. Blank look and puzzled tone, read instructions?

TA I should have known that there was a -0000.00% they would read instructions and I'll be dragged out to buy a new overpriced for what it is mw when going to the shops is the last thing I want to do.

Some just seem to lack awareness about noise

She has three children and two adults to cater for and it made life a bit easier for a few days. Why wouldn’t I give it. It wasn’t abused, just not cleaned properly. I made the offer so my problem. Was using it as an example of not cleaning appliances after each use, not shaming her.
Anyway was rewarded with a little tray of fairy cakes from the new oven, baked by her daughter.

Native English speakers using their instead of they are and variations of the same mistake.

I didnt know you had dandruff

I DONT!!

Why in the name of merciful God is that going round and round in my brain :(

The SPAR 365 Standards Customer Care Programme

Run by the owners of spar and seemingly nearly every shop wins an award, going by the numbers

How is this even news

Or the official mayonnaise of the euro 2024.

Do they really need that much mayo it warrants a sponsor?

the big winter puffer jacket with shorts combo that some young fellas including my annoying melt of a neighbour and his mate are wearing this summer…

We are in July …If it’s warm enough for shorts, why are you wearing a winter jacket with them…? Or if it’s cool enough for a padded winter jacket, why the fúck are you wearing shorts with it, ?my TA, people being attention seeking doses ….🤷🏻.

Our local strawberry grower has had to discontinue their honesty box as they were losing so much money. Despite cameras people were underpaying. Putting in low value coins or paying for one punnet and taking several. Opening hours are now curtailed and an employee is supervising the transactions.
It is such a privilege to get super fresh fruit from a fridge, located where one can see the fruit growing, at a reasonable price.

Ta'ed for that grower and the people who responded to the honesty box appropriately. Also, the fact this behaviour backs up my already well entrenched negative view of ppl,

The types* who the sleeveless roll-neck tops with boots! are you hot or cold, make up your mind?

*Excluding ppl of a certain age who have their personal climates to deal with.

hospital appointment for 8.45. I arrive at the department at 8.30. 9.30 I’m still sat there, waiting.

3 secretaries behind the desks having mighty craic with one another. But none of the 3 could be bothered taking 60 seconds to remove their arses from their chairs and approach the waiting area … “ sorry, the doctors got delayed on their rounds / at meetings , won’t be much longer “ or whatever the cause was that delayed them…. That you can’t expect simple professional courtesy in a professional setting is the TA….nope just sit and wait, listen to the giggle squad and we’ll get around to you… 🤷🏻

Somebody has been bouncing a ball outside on the street . TA is the bouncing was like a metronome that’s given my a headache .

I had to go home and get my , out of date , passport to vote . Strange as I’m pretty sure I voted before without picture ID
