Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Medics and GPs don't seem to play to the same rules as other services

You're just left waiting if theres a delay no explanations

It's been a requirement to have ID to vote as long as I've lived up North anyway and that's since 2009. I remember the hoohaa in the last few years when the legislation was brought in for the rest of the UK but it's been the norm here for much longer than that. The Local Elections (NI) Order 1985 is when the requirement for ID was brought in for NI. It's in Schedule 1 of the order, article 34 (in case you wanna look it up).

My TA is that they moved the polling station for me this time and there were no signposts up directing me to it so google maps took me on some stupid round about walk to get to it.

Sometimes I come and write something.

Then I say that's a bit petty and delete it.

Neighbors that slam everything

bang bang bang

The amount of dummies that keep putting in offers on ads without checking location

Shouldn't really be an annoyance, I mean ya should have the euro stored

? ? .

The problem is the everlasting euro (or €2) coin is never everlasting. Eventually it'll be spent, or in a different pocket or wallet or whatever. That's one of my trivial annoyances. Not having the €2 coin for the trolley in Lidl or Aldi when I think I have it.

Five o clock friday, on the button and it's just started pelting rain.

Also spelling my own name wrong in emails.

Having a quick browse early this am, checking to see the state of play with the uk elections. Happened on Al Jazeera page, which had a handy photo shot of the current results. when I got to the NI results I saw that there was a pic of Marylou by the SF vote figures. I assume they don't know that ML isn't the head of the party in NI or weren't motivated to check the reality for a small "uk" province.

Funny if you don't think too much about it.

Wikipedia have the same. It would be trivially annoying to figure out what quirky rule they are following... so I wont go there!

People working on, unpaid overtime, in their job when they don't have to.

Working at your desk at lunch.

Never understood any of that. Glad I'm out of that scene.

Usually for English, there's one word for that.

TA people that don't bother ringing you when your item arrives.

Those receipts expire if they are not used. I think there's a 45 day limit. Found that one out recently because I kept forgetting to use one.

I went to my local Aldi yesterday with a small bag of bottles and cans. The one machine was out of order. It was chucking it down so I didn't bother taking the bag back to the car so I had to lug it around the shop.

Then as I was leaving, the machine was working....but there was a couple with a gigantic bag ahead of me feeding it, so my bottles and cans came home with me. Such a silly scheme.

Took my workspaces apart all week looking for a 4-page doc, each day I took it apart knowing how easy it is to overlook something I'm looking for.

Gave up and paid to reprint and recopy the doc(money I didn't want to have to pay esp as copies are expensive at the closest copy shop)

Rummaging to find another doc (which cost me €50 originally) and found the first doc! Ta'ed I lost two different types of docs and I will be lucky if I can find the original 50€ doc. Honestly, I'm organised and ta'ed I have to pay for things that relocate themselves without my knowledge.!

People who queue to board flights. I will never understand it. You have an assigned seat, like 🤷

Click bait house articles where someone has an amazing house and they love it and it brings them so much happiness blah blah

And then you realise it's just a glorified ad - they are selling the ******* house.

Some people just have to drive right up to the door of whatever they're attending

I don't know they do it , must be a nightmare getting away from it

Being forced to live with compulsives! hoovering at 9.20 am bc I "should" have been up by then(those are my week days hours)

Clunking up and down the stairs now, as I'm not dressed and wasting time on the computer and we going out at 2!!!!

*Everywhere we are going today is open till 8/10 pm.

Freaking exhausting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
