Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Apparently "it's different if they are your own" 🤨 as per the millions of ppl I've had to defend my childless by choice lifestyle too.

Even stranger, when it's months of using a cracked screen protector.

Upgraded my phone online on Monday. In the past the phone has arrived in 2 working days. Still no sign of it this morning, so I went on the website only to discover I haven't completed the full ordering process. With the Bank Holiday weekend it will be Wednesday or Thursday next week before I get it.

She's in Spain so that would be difficult 😂

Ah no he's not being rude or grumpy or intentionally messy, I think all kids are just like that. My "messy" and his "messy" are just different things. I like that he's comfortable in the house, I want him to have a good time and I wouldn't want him to be scared of us. But it is just a complete lifestyle change. I'm glad it's just for the week.

It was missed out and they put November in by mistake - we'll be in shorts after Halloween!

Do you mean with Irish people? I thought was more of an English pronunciation, as well as going completely the other way with 'drawrer'.

Yeah I had a restless night again.

There is this sort of knocking sound, a bit like a cricket you'd hear at night over in the States but more mechanical, that crops up now and again. If I fall asleep before it, it won't wake me up but if it starts before I nod off, it keeps me preoccupied all night. Cannot predict when its going to start nor can I pinpoint where its coming from. Source seems to change every time I go investigate.

Curse my acute hearing.

I know it's "a thing" but seeing athletes "bite" their medal is really f*cking irritating me!

I just tried this, out of boredom, and got 923 matches for my selection, but nothing appeared. I clicked 'See more' a few times and it suggested that it was showing me stuff, but it wasn't. But when I clicked 'Sort by price', suddenly cars appeared.

Try that…

TA'd that I woke up like a briar this morning for no reason and now TA'd all day that I'm in foul humour!

There is a phrase my father uses as I have the same over sensitive hearing. "Ears like a shithouse rat". It's a pain when you can hear low level noise that others probably can't or just doesn't register.

Decided to go to Limerick this weekend to visit the parents so I got the 5pm train yesterday eve. Unfortunately the train stopped just outside Portarlington for about 15 minutes because of some mechanical issue. The train took off again but the train driver announces that the train would terminate at Portarlington because of the mechanical issue. This meant that we had to switch trains there which caused another 20 minute delay. The train arrives in Thurles with an automatic announcement stating that passengers for Limerick should change there for the connecting train. I was just about to get off the train when the driver announced that Limerick passengers should get off at Limerick Junction. At the junction there was a 15 minute wait for the train to arrive followed by a 20 minute wait inside the train while it waited for the train to Cork to arrive so it would pick up passengers for limerick. On the way to Limerick there was another 5 minute delay while the train waited for another train in the opposite direction to pass. I should have been in Limerick for 7.05pm but instead I was there at 8.40pm. I’m having pretty bad luck with trains lately as there was a similar delay a few weeks ago when travelling from Kilkenny to Dublin.
Also I just got a mocha and a bottle of Ballygowan here in Cafe Nero and it’s after costing €7.50

getting sucked into debating with an obvious troll on the current affair thread

people who dispense amateur healthcare / medical advice.

people who open a door that was closed to enter a room but leave it open.

people who see you busy doing something that requires attention and personal oversight yet request of you to follow them to another area to look at something…
