Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Dont know where you live in Ireland, but adverts with many different races, looks completely normal to me.

When you go into Tesco with the intention of using the 'Scan as you shop' barcode scanner, so naturally enough you have your club card in hand ready to scan and pick up a handset……

but the woman immediately in front of you at the handset release station only has her club card on her phone, but only takes the phone out of her bag when she gets to the scanner station, and has a quick browse through her notifications before looking for the Tesco app, and oh, it's in here somewhere…… on page 3 I think…..

all the while I'm there waiting like a spare tool building up a rage the likes of which have never been seen before!!

HOW ABOUT HAVE YOUR CLUBCARD READY WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT THE SCANNER STATION

Me too when they take a cash till and only then take their phone out of their bag to scroll through for ages to find the pay app(or what ever they are using)

Seriously tho, how can ppl think that is faster than cash!

😵‍💫 errrr I was just expressing my TA as is the done thing in this thread… I wasn’t soliciting a critique from anyone…thanks.

TA for today…. No sunscreen left…. Was only in Boots a few days ago but was sure I had a spare… I still think I had, it must have walked.

Really? I find them threatening and get out asap. Ta indoor atm's where men choose to continue their phone calls as they do whatever and hold the rest of us up. Looking at you aib encouraging this beh by not having enough staff on the counter at pinch points.

My dark brown jumper which i thought was clean and wore to work turned out to have a big white mark, like bleach burn, exactly on the left nipple.

I do not like to draw attention to my moobs :(

when you do not acquiesce to people’s unreasonable badgering requests / demands of you, “ohhh, I won’t be going, I’ll leave it sorry ..”…..I about 7 times refuse in that manner, ever so diplomatically, nicely, ever so reasonably and ever so politely, even try to explain after the 7th time, then the 8th time. I’m = 🗡️🤬 a LOT less diplomatic and a lot less polite yet that somehow makes me then the bad guy. Life can just be a TA in itself, often just brought on by the unrelenting unreasonableness and overbearing pathological weirdness of other humans… 🤦🏻‍♂️

That I set my alarms to get me out of bed for a 2 0’clock appointment that’s 2 hours drive away . Of course I switched them off and didn’t get up until now and I still need a shower and shave

^^^^^
I rang to cancel the appointment and I had cancelled it 2 weeks ago . Back to watching Olympics all day so a TA that’s become a TH

Eventually got me

I got a phone call this afternoon for a medical secretary/receptionist, asking to confirm that I was okay for my appointment tomorrow.

"What appointment? Usually you send out a letter to say with the date and time for any appointment."

"Oh, we would have mentioned it to you six months ago, the last time you were here."

Yeah, right!! She forgot to send me a definite appointment, and is trying to make me think I forgot. Six months ago, I was told there would be a follow-up in six months, not that there would be a follow-up at 2.45pm on the 8th of August. 🙄

Got set upon by a dog today, big husky-like breed. I was caught unawares as it blind-sided me and I am used to there being no dog in the yard. Have to park on the road, open a gate and walk to the door so a bit of a no-mans land.

Caught me on my lower thumb at first, I let a roar out of me and it just had an intent about its look. Grabbed me by the shorts next and only for someone shooing it away with a shovel, god knows what I would have done if no-one else was there. I had literally nowhere to go.

Thankfully didn't break skin, but definitely going to report it (even if the houseowners are contrarians) as I don't want to endanger a colleague caught in a similar situation.

Of course, encountered a few more aggressive dogs over the rest of the day and got the usual 'he's harmless' spiel from the owners.

I'm sorry for your loss, Blade :(

It is the Antigen type test you can buy in shops and chemists, it will only show if you currently have it so won't show anything from last year, or likely even last month.

Using them is a TA it must be said :)

And my bonus TA is we don't have them for flu widely available.

When you zero energy to do anything on a day off and you spend the day beating yourself up about that.

When you try to put a coherent comment into boards on a mobile phone, but it's a PITA to edit anything on a phone, so you post it anyway, and the whole thing just comes across as an unedited incoherent rant.

Sorry for your loss 😢

Fancied something different for lunch so had scrambled egg. Lovely. Not had it in a while.

Around four o'clock, I realised that all I had in the fridge for dinner was a quiche. Feel very eggy now.

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.

Waking up before the alarm goes off

I went to bed watching Criminal Minds on phone and had a dream about a serial killer clown.

I'm still feeling a bit unnerved and I'm alone in my office!!!!

Thankfully the corridor is busy enough like but if I hear the other office chair squeak I'm off!!!!

someone trying to impart something verbally to me from about 60 feet away… there is a radio on too between us both making it more difficult.

I don’t shout at people , if I have something I need to say to a person I walk to them and impart whatever information I need to them, in person.

If that isn’t practical I contact them on their phone, not by roaring from significant distances away …. 🤦🏻‍♂️
