Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

People who say they will "craft" an email.

So you're going to hand carve it from wood or metal maybe? Perhaps some nice colorful additions such as shiny buttons, or maybe a poem carved on its surface?

Postman don't use eircodes afaik

I had one flag me down looking for a house

I suggested use the eircode, I don't think he even knew how.

I can assure you, any postal operative worth their salt use eircodes, especially when you've to deal with idiots buying parcels who either forget or don't bother putting their name or actual address on the parcel.

I'm talking about an post postmen

I've heard a few times they don't use them

take away order, for 6 people, yet my order comes back… a cheese burger instead of a quarter pounder with cheese… not a biggie but person going for the food was insistent that they’d remember the order and didn’t need to write it.

That poster is an An Post postman…

Ok I stand corrected

When you have the makings of a particular dinner all ready to go and then start reading a cookbook (or watching a cookery programme) that makes you want pretty much everything except the dinner you were planning.

that I had to miss pretty much of the post lunch test cricket. But the highlights aren’t on till 10pm. So I’m trying to avoid clicking on any website or tv channel that might be reporting on it or show a result

That wouldnt be cricket dear chap

I’ve learned not to post anything sport related . I once mentioned a F1 qualifying and got rightly scolded

I’m still awake but I don’t know if I’ve taken my ZZZ tablets and I don’t want to OD

A power cut this morning and looks like it won't be back until lunchtime

Wedding Photos.

My parents wedding consists of photos in the church, outside and the reception.

There's no need for photos of the bride in a dressing gown having somebody curl her hair or the groom in his boxers.

I'd also include photos of the grooms men stopping the groom from running away and people trying to look to cool in sunglasses.

Cambridge and Oxford seem to define it as an activity involving physical exertion and skill

You can argue there's some physical exertion in snooker and pool

I was about to say that they were games too…so why aren't they at the Olympic Games?!? Eh? 😄

You'll have to argue a little better than that

They appear to meet the definition of sport

Snooker and darts both involve physical exertion and skill

Mod

Warning applied.

Technically , so does sleeping . Now 15 golfers with clubs , and 15 cricketers with bats going at it and last man standing wins . I’d pay to see that 😃

Connections the NYT game . Just very annoying

Went grocery shopping yesterday morning and put all the stuff in the boot as normal.

Decided to go to another supermarket on the way home (don't normally do this) and picked up a few more bits. When I got out, there was car parked right up to my boot so I decided to throw that bag on the back seat instead.

Emptied the boot when I came home but only remembered about the other bag now. All fridge stuff in it.

Sunday morning and 10.45 some oldish neighbour is going around with an ancient and mega decibel spewing old petrol mower from what genuinely looks like from about 1985 doing all the grass verges…

It’s Sunday morning , people are having lie ins, sleep ins or just enjoying a tranquil and peaceful Sunday morning .

Kindly go and jump in a river you prick.

The residents association usually do this on a Saturday afternoon, modern equipment, efficiently and reasonably quietly, this looks like a lone auld fella who had nothing to do on a particular Sunday and decided to make himself ’useful’

I feel your pain. After my recent incapacitation, I got to go to the supermarket for the first time in a month the other day. I seemed to have put everything away but something was niggling at me so I checked again. No, everything seems fine.

Six or seven hours later I go back into the kitchen and see a six-pack of Jiggly Pops (Aldi's version of Wibbly Wobbly Wonders) sitting on the ground, completely melted. 🫠

I still bunged them into the freezer for a crystallised, deconstructed Wibbly Pop.
