Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

If its alive then it goes to show how fresh it is.

Little bastard Fruit Flies. Seem to be able to fold space when you try to squash them.

Nearly half 4 in the morning and I'm wide awake.

FML

Yep it seems so . I went after 12 and wide awake at 6 . Either a feast or a famine with me sleep wise . It’s either 4/5 hours or if I take my tablets could be 16 hours sleep

Feeling nauseous after coffee , and when I sit down . I hate hot weather . Give me a cold dry day with a nip in the air over this weather every time

Mine was only 30c, but they had a problem scanning it. Probably slightly faded. I've gotten into the habit of wrapping it around my debit card now so that won't happen again.

hay fever is again really bad this morning….. normally I don’t notice any symptoms unless the pollen count is classed as ‘Very High’, but according to Met Éireann it’s only ‘High’.

I was wondering is their any correlation to my increase in instances and severity of getting hay fever recently and my environmentalist neighbours who have taken to allowing basically everything to grow as in grass about three and a half feet tall and everything else they have growing…. Yep long grass makes symptoms worse I’m reading. Nice one 🤦🏻‍♂️👏🏼👉🏻🤌🏻

Keep an eye on this site, it breaks down the types of pollen.
Weed pollen is high = 132
Grass pollen is moderate = 48
Tree pollen is low = 0

Sounds like you need to keep an eye specifically on the weed pollen forecast and see if it correlates with your flare ups.

It is store specific in LIDL for sure. Not sure about the rest.

When parents bring kids into pubs which clearly are designed for them. And then let them run riot

I'm from the UK. Kids in pubs is just not on IMO! Out in the beer garden in summer fine but running around the place because they are bored is just wrong!

Mad isn't it. You or anyone could easily get a bad injury.

Whenever I am doing a small shop, and thus stack up the groceries on top of each other and carry it back to the car with an expert balancing act, I ALWAYS forget which pocket my car keys in and end up having to re-adjust as I fumble around looking for them.

People who pronounce "canapes" as "canopies".

What like horses duberries?

Nothing worse than being in the rain all day, slowly working through your parcels (amazing how more people seem to be out when its raining) , and to be greeted at the door by someone all cosy in their dressing gown at 2PM in the day.

Bastids.

Thanks for all that you do.

I must say delivery people and post people are absolutely taken for granted. Delivering stuff to random thankless people in random locations in all kinds of weather.

And the cost to the receiver is the same regardless if they are up a mountain or next door to the delivery centre.

Someone was complaining about some Amazon delivery and I said he wouldn't do their job. Every delivery timed and rated. And he was just speechless.

The rain in Ireland would have stopped Rocky in his tracks.

Those weird tight blue shirts the Gardai are wearing now. Don't particularly want to see Garda pecs and nipples.

Lack of awareness is a lot to do with it imo

It's infuriating!

I could get a bus to work, it would involve a 10 minute walk at both ends, waiting for a bus that might turn up so I'd have to aim for a much earlier one in the hope of getting there on time, going through rush hour traffic with numerous stops - over an hour each way versus a 15 min drive each way on back roads and I can easily do the weekly grocery shop on the way home one afternoon.

My TA is the constant recommendations of cargo bikes or cycling to work. I'm expected to look reasonably presentable, not sweaty and looking like I've been dragged through a ditch from wind and rain.

After having 2 Discectomys and a Spinal Fusion and being pain free for over 10 years, for the past week I've had bad lower back pain. A throbbing pain. Couldn't go through another operation so really worried. I

I picked up what is likely a tennis elbow injury a few months back

A pith this one but there's worse things
