Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

People who can't catch a ball ;-)

People who can't just do things like a normal person and have to bang and slam everything.

Those automated answering systems, you know like: 1 for service, 2 for sales, 3 for whatever, 4 for…are not really mobile phone friendly 😀

Standing under a tree waiting for the rain shower to end. But it doesn't. So you walk home and get wet anyway. It's like a bad Morrissey song. 😁

my neighbours the same so if I may share your TA, yes those annoying neighbours , the latest is their doorbell broke a while ago, well months back. They didn’t replace it. So everybody from couriers, friends, family whoever goes there ends up hammering on a door or window to get their attention.

9.40pm tonight their offspring I’m presuming, thud thud thud on the wooden door of about 80 decibels, waits 30 seconds… thud thud thud…. Louder… about 120 decibels…..🤦🏻‍♂️

Im seeing you will buy a good standard doorbell with chime gizmo for about 25-40 euros. It will take you 15 minutes to easily install it….
L A Z Y & A N N O Y I N G 🤦🏻

Do a covid test?

Shít things that media sells as a positive: can't afford a house? Why not live in a box in your parents' garden?

Can't afford accommodation anywhere? Try sleeping in your car. Yaay! 🙄

Yeah, I hate when people stand in stupid places. I'm sure I mentioned it here before, about our warehouse manager who will always stop for a chat with somebody at the most awkward place. If there's a long corridor, he'll stop at the only spot where there is a big pillar narrowing the way through. 🙄

I remember doing lengths in a hotel pool one time. I think it was a 20m pool (short-ish anyway) and I worked out that I had to do 70 lengths (dont know why now…seems awfully long…but was training for something!) and I started swimming …. 1 ….. 2 …. oh god, how the hell am I going to get to 70! …..36 …. 37 …. am i realy on 37? …. Im sure I miss counted along the way and had to err on the side of caution and round down instead of up!

I love swimming …. but swim training is boring!!!!!!!!! no one to talk to …. no sights to see, just the ceiling or the floor …. I gave up on that pool shortly after and did big sessions in the 50m pool in UL … only had to do 32 lengths to clock up a mile!

TH - i once swam a mile

I did, and it was negative. Which doesn't surprise me as I clearly have bubonic plague or Captain Trips or something.

Rural people weirdly attached to cutting turf. We were saving turf when I was a child and never want to do that backbreaking shíte again!

I loved the bog ,though as a child I wasn’t doing the heavy work .Is it even allowed now ? If I was fit to cut and daddy could see to catch , I’d love to get him in the face with a big wet sod 🤩

My TA is the shop didn’t have my favourite coffee , so I’m stuck with Nescafé

Trying to talk to someone and not a recording , which evidently can’t understand a north Monaghan accent .
If I hear thank you for waiting and we’ll put you through as soon as we can , I’ll hop the phone off the wall 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Waiting room at GP..

Sinage... ' the use of mobile phones is prohibited in this area '

Yet a wan and I presume her mother are watching a video with sound on speaker... and they had to be directed to the waiting room as they initially had been blocking the corridor outside.... them and the pram about the ridiculously oversized size of a ford fiesta .. People with frames, wheelchairs and various disorders, trying to manoeuvre to the rooms of their practioners, some pair of goons...

I hate those pretend bottles inside a bottle, usually very expensive make up or cream. Looks like 250ml, but there's a secret bottle inside the bottle that's only 50ml 😠😠

Not alone did I have to cancel a much-looked-forward-to trip away this weekend due to a bereavement within the travelling party, but I also almost got ploughed into by an idiot driver about half an hour later.

An ould fella didn't once look right nor stop when turning left onto the main road I was on, and there was already another driver waiting for me to pass so they could turn into the road the first idiot was coming out of. How I squeezed through the miniscule gap without any collision I'll never know. Of course, if it was a young driver at fault, there'd be uproar

1.35 am and some eejit pedestrian crossing the road at the corner outside presses the button at the lights for the green man.

You can see clearly about a quarter of a kilometre up and down the road in both directions, there are no cars… but the very loud audible & fast bip-bip-bip-bip-bip-bip-bip of the signal breaks the tranquil AM silence….. people are getting worse.

The amount of people going around in their winter coats. Like, I know it hasn't exactly been a summer to write home about, but it also isn't anywhere near woollen coat weather.

When faced with writing a note on a card for someone - you suddenly forget how to spell and even how to write.

Covid : we are told… “ Avoid meeting people who are at very high risk for 10 days. This starts from the day you first had symptoms. “.
My Aunt no longer has symptoms having been diagnosed last week sometime….but my Dad who is reasonably high risk due to age and an underlying condition, is off to meet his sister tonight or tomorrow afternoon…. “ I want to make sure she’s alright “

Just sit it out, wait another 3 or 4 days simply no point in going in all superhero brother, her kids don’t live far away. She’s not dying she’s doing housework when you called her ffs.

Not so trivial - Having issues with Amazon prime drivers not following delivery instructions and their map showing the wrong address even though the Eircode is listed. Each time a problem with delivery I contact support and they say oh it will be sorted now and it isn't Told to send in details in, 2 weeks pass and I get back on and told to send in details again. I just got another email to send in details and also was there a dog at the house. So I get onto support to call me, 30 mins on phone and waiting for a manager and I get cut off. Amazon has gone to complete sh*t lately and worse with their prime drivers not bothering to read delivery instructions.

They've done it, I've done it and they don't bother reading it. Was warned by support in the first call back in December the drivers do their own thing and don't bother reading delivery instructions.
