Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

My car insurance is up for renewal.

It's go up.

I know when I start looing for quotes.

I'll be getting phone calls from companies trying to get me to switch.

Aye that can cause a double take alright!

But Ireland and Italy more often at same events so clash more often.

People who use a phone for months with a cracked screen, unless you are destitute there is no jaysus excuse for the bloody hardship you are experiencing.

The way chuggers stagger themselves along certain streets, essentially making you run a gauntlet of them so you've to summon a polite PFO four or five times instead of just once.

Same for me + rats going in and out of it.

Absolutely ancient threads being dug up and then allowed to run. They'd have been shut down pronto up until pretty recently. Are the powers that be that desperate for any sort of activity?

I hope you have nail clippers on you 😷

MY TA is need to do a lot of things but can’t be assed

my loud as fûk gobby neighbour leaves her property at 7.35 this morning.

She cannot exist without talking. She leaves her front door absolutely howling with laughter into her phone… and then weirdly shrieking in delight in reply to whatever has been said to her by the other party and then loudly and enthusiastically continuing the yap.

Pack..…it……in ! It’s 7.35…..she gets the bus to work, I can only imagine what awful experience people must endure sitting on a bus near her.

Cars overtaking you on recently resurfaced roads with loose gravel and a 25km/h limit!

ffs I do not want you speeding to over take and throwing gravel all over my windscreen!

Its only a one kilometer stretch would it kill you to keep to the limit?

People who think draw is the way to spell drawer.

Travelling down a beach road today with a parcel for a serial online shopper. Its a bumpy terrain and narrow, and more annoying this time of year with the presence of summer residents that simply refuse to yield for the fella in the big van. No siree. I have to reverse back down the lane a bit too after this customer as there is literally nowhere to turn.

I arrive, blow the horn as customary so they can meet me at the gate. I take out the quite heavy box, place it on the ground but have to adjust it a couple of times to find the correct barcode to scan. Customer scowls at me "oi, be careful, its wine" as if it was some essential medical equipment.

Jeez I'd love to have the luxury of having alcohol products delivered to my door, and I don't live in a hard-to-access area. Notions of some people.

I am childfree but I'm "looking after" my 12 yr old nephew for the week while his mother is away. I don't know how parents do it. Everything is dirty, the place is a mess, he won't eat any regular food so I've to make 2 dinners every day and he is apparently incapable of being quiet. He's always bored so I'm trying to keep him amused and I'm fcuking exhausted. My childfree choice is being reaffirmed every single day. And he's a good kid so it's not that.

Have you ever considered a different line of work, CTM? 🤣
