Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Agreed. There’s a particular cohort of non-drivers (all of whom went to TCD late 80s & early 90s) living on northside who are like this. Pretentious, uptight & very anti-car. I use public transport a lot but when I DJed in city centre pre-Covid I used to drive in. Did not want to lug records & CDs in on public transport. When I publicly expressed my opposition to making Dublin city centre car-free, a few of that lot were very critical towards me. Really opened my eyes to their intolerance.

Watching England be the better team in a football match.

What's Dublin bus policy on dogs? If it's a small dog and is carried on most drivers allow it I think.

Small dogs are *technically* allowed, at the driver's discretion, but I have literally never seen a dog on the bus so I'm going to say it’s not really a thing. Also, my dog is not small.

Seen a good few dogs on my bus route 🤷‍♀️

In an attempt at integration, I was asked to recommend a firm wide course in the English language. I couldn't find one in the time frame available(ta1) the course was announced and those of us at a particular section were mandated to attend.

As per I was refused course notes and after a long wrestle(where I had to threaten to sue) they agreed to put up the lecture script YouTube style for me!

I copied the notes from the transcript and used the timestamp tec to remove those, and spent ages and ages reading and rereading the info so I could put the information in the correct sections on an A4 page so it looked like a book page.

Lls some of the people on the course are now complaining that I had an advantage over the rest as I was given notes bc I have a learning label.

Ta3 bc I deal with this kind of crap over and over, I sourced the info, sourced the tec, read and reread and edited the info, running off the info at my own expense so I could interact physically with it, which not only cost me money but showed me down by about 4 days.

But yea, poor you having to sit in a lecture and remember what you hear and take notes you can read(unlike me) and dash it off a few hours ahead of the deadline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😈

How much I wish ppl like this would just check their PRIVILAGE, ahead of pointing fingers.

Missed most of the cricket this morning. Tuned in at lunch to watch highlights and discussion of the mornings play.

But 95% of the lunch broadcast isn’t about cricket but a charitable organisation that’s having a themed day at the ground….

You won’t have thought that there was a game on at all. The charity theme is mentioned about 2859 times over the course of the 5 day broadcast….and it’s seemingly not a gap in play can be found without it being given air time, but is it maybe, possible, the sport might be discussed ? 😵‍💫 literally a 3 minute footnote out of 40

Do you not have a chemist close to home or your doctors?

There is but owned by a group I don't want to do business with and I would still have to take multiple buses and multiple trips to drop off and pick up by bus when weather is bad. It's still quicker by car and more convenient especially if the prescription is missing items and I have to go back. At least where it is at the moment is on the route we take for the weekly shop so I can collect it on run.

Put on a dark wash first thing this morning but forgot to check the jeans pockets. They contained a couple of tissues so now everything will need to be done again.

A certain influencer who has work done on her teeth but they look about 2 sizes too big for her

I can't seem to concentrate on what's she saying because they are so distracting !

i go online to book an appointment with my GP. I’m greeted with a banner… ‘new website coming soon’ which is needed as the current one is archaic and clunky. But since this banner appeared the current website doesn’t work, menu isn’t functioning so I call….. 8 minutes on hold and as luck would have it it gets answered by the persnickety auld wan who as always proceeds to ask 87 questions. I enquire if that’s all necessary…” our doctors are in high demand so we ask questions to screen for appropriate appointments “…im told…

“Your doctors are in high demand because you’ve taken on too many patients”… is my response and one that is met with silence. 🤑🤓

Working with people including managers who have no interest in the quality of the work that's been done, what is actually been done , or if there is a better way to do it, just so long as it's done.

And if you suggest a better way or mention issues you are ghosted.

And if you do have an improvement you have to do the work to prove it, in your own free time, and then demonstrate it to them like some dog and pony show.

junkies / aggressive beggars hanging about begging in an OTT intimidatory manner at the local Spar… this started during the pandemic, there are three who rotate there…

The TA is compounded by the fact that the local Gardai use both the supermarket in question and takeaway next door so have to be there to witness the carry on multiple times a week …but I just see them walking past..

Mispronunciation of words by people that should know better.

Just listening to an Audible audio book read by the author. The author did research to write the book so why couldn't they check the pronunciation of the people named in the book.

To the best of my knowledge annals is not pronounced anals - the anals of time 🙄

What Ford has done to Capri.

I understand things change over this.

Just name your new sporty crossover something else.

There nothing alike.

Spanish student season. A pile of them jumped of the 46a at Infirmary Road and completely blocked the footpath. Despite trying to be polite I ended up barging through them. Not my finest moment

T.A. people who order, that don't have have their voice mail setup, so you can't leave a message to tell them their item has arrived lol

They are a current TA of mine too as I’ve mentioned ……they are staying at the nearby university. The supermarket on campus sees them arriving there to walk / stand around aimlessly and ‘look’ at stuff mostly. You would think it’s the Prado museum such is their constant be-wonderment.. Other humans as in your example are even when in their eyeline completely ignored, they stand and remain rooted or walk ‘at’ you…. Takes neither a tremendous education or whatever to comprehend that if you are in the way of somebody who needs to pass.. ‘ MOVE ‘…. The rational and courteous thing to do is make some room, by slightly moving…

And the fecking noise of them!

The weather is seriously annoying me, dull and dreary every day ffs.

Fruit flies in my red wine.

The new bottle tops/caps. The fecking things are impossible to close

the bottle tops is a shared TA. Absolutely ridiculous design.

Should have left the design as it was and if the top is not returned you get only half the deposit back.
