Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

No, it’s not different if they’re your own. They can drive you to distraction and then look at you and say “what did I do’? ‘I didn’t say anything’? How there wasn’t murder committed in my house with a messy 22 year old daughter I don’t know. TA the government, build some fecking houses/apartments so these over indulged adults can feck off and dirty their own spaces.

Was hiking in the wicklow mountains today and came across this sight. Absolute scumbag behavior. If they were able to carry all these water bottles and cans to their camp site, they could have certainly carried the empty ones back with them. Total a**holes.

People on Instagram who show you how to cook a meal, then smugly try it and go Mmmmm.

Yes

Doubly annoying if they

1/ use "Admin Assist" which randomly rejects posts

2/ allow anonymous posters

Usually sorts who'll have posted all manner of shoite to Instagram while 'enjoying' nature

If it's a landline take it off the hook.

Mobiles on silent in the other room.

If it's not agreeable to the rest of your dining party you just have to accept that they give whoever is ringing them a higher priority than the people who are actually in the room with them. If this is the case you need to manage your expectations (my mam would always take the call to the point I just started bringing my food into the sitting room, that way my meal wasn't disturbed by a one sided conversation every single night)

If you've missed calls ,ring person back at time convenient to you and clearly explain 3-5 on Sundays is family dinner time. They'll eventually get the message if no one picks up the phone. (Again unless it's my mother who would then ring you at 14:57....well it's before 3 🙄)

Speaking of dogs, I happened to see on sky news today a bunch of people putting their dogs on little surf boards in the sea having a race or something. I don't like dogs at all, I think their the most irritating pet you could have, but dropping them in the sea is just abuse. The same people would probably be campaigning against animal cruelty etc.

People repeating themselves . . . Someone tells you about some mundane incident that happened at the checkout till in Tesco or lidl (don't know as I wasn't really listening) and they keep repeating said incident to anyone within earshot to try and prove the point that they were right and the other party involved was wrong. Then they ring their sister and spend fifteen minutes explaining the same experience . . five minutes later the sister lands at the house and they spend the next half hour dissecting every detail over and over again.

You think it's finally finished with but no . . . they ring the mother on speaker phone.

I'm kinda intrigued as to what the incident was! 😂

Bank holiday so loads of people are posting on local Facebook groups asking "Is X business open today?"

They're asking because the businesses' websites / Facebook pages don't have this information to hand.

Surely it isn't difficult to put up a bank holiday trading hours notice or a pinned post outlining when exactly they're open?

If in doubt, don't go out and just order what you want online.

The way all adverts show so many different races in the advert, its so unrealistic for Ireland and it makes me dislike the Companies as I see right through it.

Flew to Amsterdam this morning, now on a train to The Hague. No, I’m not on trial for war crimes, I think. The trains here have a tag-on system similar to the Luas, except that it’s called “Check-In”. Which is a bit confusing at Schipol airport: I’m just off a flight, hadn’t planned on checking in again yet. The train conductor was quite used to first-time visitors like me getting it wrong, of course.

I've never been behind a woman at an ATM that didn't take 20 years to get out cash.

When someone complains about the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again.
