Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Careers guidance personnel who say things like, "I know a bit about x, but I don't know how it impacts YOU" who then proceed to exhibit how little they know about the basics and rush the person through recounting their experiences.

In that same vein, expecting a client who has been in the same job to have a clue where to start in looking at the local businesses +r how they can locate the info so they can see retraining opportunities.

Ta/ffa it is too much to have an A3 page with the names/links to organisations who hold this info that the general public can access easily?.

That Roger Casement’s diaries are held in the British Museum . His body was repatriated in 1965 but surely his diaries should be in an Irish museum .

The Brits don't exactly have form for returning historical artefacts to their countries of origin. Lord Elgin, I'm looking at you 👀

cooked a delicious breakfast sandwich for dinner, the works…. But I left every door open and two hours later the whole place is still smelling of fried food…..

Why is it a big 'no no'?

I'm surprised a warning can be given when a person isn't actually in the car.

Now this may have been debunked but I remember years ago watching a documentary on car crashes and what happens various objects in the car at time of impact... basically they become missiles.

Without going into huge detail the take away was keep seatbelts buckled especially the back to act as another layer of protection to stop boot items coming forward (granted if you are going at a speed that could cause that you're probably pretty fecked)

So my point....I always kept my back seats buckled ....if I was stopped by a guard no way would they be able to give me a ticket on the basis that a passenger might travel without the seatbelt just because it was currently closed. Same with passenger seat after nct.

Like unless they see you doing it you can't get written up on a suspicion....I would have thought the union would be all over that!

Ta'ed that the regional forum still is showing a permissions issue, arriving today in one of them without the latest info and now I look uninformed and uncool!!

Is it just one regional forum or can't you get into any of them? (I realise that you'd probably only want to get into your own region's forum.)

My trivial annoyance is that I typed a '2' instead of a '3' in a template to create new parts on our system, and now I've to correct it. Correcting it is only a matter of sending and e-mail requesting somebody in India to fix it (it's a lot more hassle for them), but it will mean that I have to admit that I made a slight mistake for the first time ever in my life!! 😉

They are so health and safety conscience that I have been going around in hand-me down safety boots that have finally started to disintegrate to the extent that a hobo wouldn't wear them and it's actually dangerous for me to wear them driving. But any request to order new ones have fallen on deaf ears (wasn't even included on the list for new uniforms that everyone else got, a different TA), yet I get shouted at if I don't wear them in the depot.

TA: my car failing the NCT for pretty much the same faults as it did the last time that my mechanic definitely should have taken into account when doing the prep. A reverse light not working should be a basic thing to pick up in advance no?

When you have a few hours off and someone decides you should take their dog for a walk or wash their car.

Don't get me started on motorbikes, which are ridiculous for a vehicle for transporting 1 person. If I was to walk around making the same amount of noise I would be locked up.

So, yeah, all unnecessary noise should be banned from vehicles. It's just stupid selfish noise pollution which causes a load of stess, anxiety and bad health for a lot of people.

My favourite time, noise wise, is after a lot of snow. Just super quiet and peaceful. No traffic.

Nice family get together tmrw, which I'm looking forward to and which i know will involve lots of photos.

Unfortunately I seem to have somehow injured my right eye and the whole white bit is pure red with trapped blood.

I look like one of the infected from 28 days later.

I'm going to have this made into a sign so I can tap it:

"No" is a full sentence.

The amount that sticks to your teeth when eating corn snacks.

I did have a brain on a bap at lunch but the deli lady offered, would have been rude not to.

There's a thread here, if you ask, then you can be manually added to group "Registered Users 2" and then might have more chance of it working.

My peaches are hard an tasteless . I took them from the back of the shelf as the last set I got only lasted 2/3 days . They are my go to food when I wake up .

I woke up at 9am thinking I had a good sleep , but I was on here at 4.30 am

Spiders who encroach too deep into human territory, breaking the non aggression pact and deviating from their agreed role to stay at the windows and doors and keep the flies and bugs out.

I recently moved into aviation from a completely different sector. You can imagine my pain.

I saw a clickbait headline a few days ago advising all Irish households to keep windows closed for next few weeks. My mind started to go down a completely different path and I was beginning to become concerned that it was something to do with high levels of radioactivity over the island until I clicked into the article and it was only about keeping spiders out of the houses!

That cheesy Swedish accent in the IKEA radio adverts.

Is the guy even Swedish, or is it some Irish voice over guy putting on a daft accent?
