Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Afraid to look at your finances because you can't handle the truth.

Or in places like Germany where things are worse. ‘Marc’ vs ‘Mark’, ‘Hoffman’ vs ‘Hofmann’. So, 4 possible permutations of a pretty common name

Should I put an accent over the ‘e! In the case of some dude who calls himself Andre? I’ve got to look it up on the HR database before I sent them an email…some can in a flap about such minor thing for the company I work for.

Its so bloody wet cold and miserable we are lighting the fire!

Spanish students yes - good God they're annoying!!!!

TA of the day 1 - booked a taxi last night to get to the early train, no one came so I called the number. "The number you are attempting to call cannot accept this call". Had to walk, with a f***king sore leg (only a mile but it's worse when I wake up, hence the taxi). Called company "oh we had no drivers until 7am today". So why take my booking ?? Why not call me to cancel?? GRRRR!!

TA of the day 2 - aggressive chuggers are bad enough but I've had two of them call to the door in the last few days - after 8pm one of them!! Concern and Medecins Sans Frontiers. Both can go feck themselves if they ever thought they were getting a red cent off this squirrel!!!

TA of the day 3 (minor in comparison tbh!) - I want chocolate and I can't get any until I'm heading home cos I know I'll prefer to have it on the train than now but damnit I have a craving!!!!

If it gets any colder I'm thinking of hibernating!

My TA is the music that's played in some shops. Particularly Supervalu and Dunnes that I can think of. It's like the worst failed pop songs of all time. Really bad. It makes the visit to the shop quite painful. In general do we have to have constant music (usually awful) playing constantly in every single place in life? I would happily settle for some muzac where there's no singing just tranquil sounds. (on a positive note the music in TK Maxx is often quite good I've noticed)

I had a day off sick the other day - every other advert is for funeral plans, cremation plans, and the ubiquitous Veri ****ing Sure! Dance in them, I dare yas!!!!

Banks only opening Mon - Friday until 4pm

Silly in this day and age. Certain issues you cannot resolve online and that’s where I am today…

TA that I had to google the difference between Clementines and Mandarins… Clementines are the smallest type of Mandarin apparently.

I get the 'Clemengold' range from Super Valu and over the course of the year they vary from actually easy to peel to digging in nails and juice spraying out at you territory.

Allegedly satsumas are the easiest to peel, google tells me.

Is it always the same tune or can you make requests? 😄

Mine just has a head-wrecking beeping that I can hear in the distance, audible enough to be annoying but not quite enough to get me to immediately deal with it.

Just like that other beeping annoyance, the microwave. As I eventually approach it, I'm thinking "This time, I'm going to open the microwave door before it beeps again!" and as I reach out, it beeps again. 🤨

(I seems like I have a problem with beeping appliances…)

only 1 person on the till in local supermarket…. Why ? Because the 15 or so students from out Iberian Peninsula direction are in, and all other staff are on the floor to monitor for them thieving… one lad using the self service till has 20 or so years old Irish staff member collar him for trying to pack a salad bowl he did not scan or pay for… he denies it, she brings up the screen , not scanned… she politely invites him to scan and pay… he gives her a volley of aggression in his native tongue and departs minus the salad….
