Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

This morning, 3 minutes before I was due to leave the house, I realised that I had forgotten to add my new yearly bus ticket to my Leap Card. I opened my phone to look for the leap top up app but i never actually installed it on this phone. I then go to the App Store and search for the app only for every other transport app to show up instead of the one I need.
At this stage I’m panicking so I run upstairs and wake the OH up so that I can use his leap top up app to add €10 in case I can’t download the app in time.
On the way to the bus stop I searched for the app in google and I managed to find and download it. Once I checked my card the new yearly ticket automatically downloaded onto it so panic averted. Honestly though, why in God’s name was it so fcuking hard to find the app in the Apple App Store? I was getting TFI and Leap balance checker apps but no top up app. Nothing is ever straightforward.

my Dad recently had blood tests done….for the monitoring of an ongoing condition that he’s had for about 20 years…Apparently you no longer get given these tests results now, you have to go looking for them yourself by ringing a number and entering the world of automation, type in your phone number, press # and all the rest..

Turns out the results are in, he’s been notified they are but due to a technical error on behalf of the hospital automated system he can’t access them, he’s tried, I’ve tried, he’s had the same mobile number with them for about 15 years….

I can share this TA as I had a glance at jobs .ie earlier, was thinking absolutely the same, on checking again now, 18 out of 25 jobs on the first page of my search…. Salary : ‘ not disclosed ‘….

It is amazing nowadays the scope of information about applicants that employers demand up front….yet an absolutely simple yet crucial piece of information necessary to the potential applicant….‘ not disclosed ‘… not.. ‘negotiable’ or anything else… basically ‘not telling you’ but apply if you want the job and find out... Arrogant carry on...and trivially annoying…..

That I keep a flashlight in the living room . TA is a “flashlight “ means something completely different 🫣🫣

And it should be kept hidden in my bedroom not in the open

The term 'oasishambles' on RTE today. Don't want to be offensive but you'd want to have some issues to come up with that one.

Was lucky enough to get a spanking new laptop at an unreal price, I'm only getting around to using it now as I have to revise for a potential "promotion", beyond that fact that the keys are much bigger than I'm used too. causing lots of typo's, it needs a complete setting up/downloading etc. All that annoying stuff ppl have to do when the computer is new.

Of course this is happening when I'm under time pressure to get the about done, ta the freak**g housing crisis flings me so far from home that I don't have my familial tec genus's on hand to do all that stuff for a tiny donation. Keys are stiff af as well.

Look up flashlight on the urban dictionary . . CJ's a very naughty boy.

Can't shake the feeling that I am putting far more into my marriage than I am getting back in return

Or don’t, a friend of mine found out just how much he wasn’t doing when he complained of something similar.

I have two favourite watches I like and alternate between wearing both.

Looked up a jeweller nearby out of pure boredom and found an incredibly sexy watch but it’s 695 euros 😅. Can I afford it ? YES, can I justify it… having two good watches ? NO, absolutely…fûcking…not…. Stupid sexy watch,

Went to rejoin my local library after years away. It's all self service now. I miss the stamp they used to put on the books to tell you when it was due back. Now how are you meant to know?

Also, my dog being a fussy little shıt and pretending he's off his food, while also constantly on the scrounge for treats and tidbits. Tried tricking him into eating his actual food by putting it in my other dog's bowl, but nope.

The local foxes will be well fed again this evening.

I was In the shop and wanted a spirit to have in the house . Jack Daniel’s came to £66 . I’ll still have it in years time at that price

Yeah, although I'd forgive them if they were caught in some sort of time-loop. 🧐 🤪

My trivial annoyance every evening this week is that I haven't felt hungry so didn't make anything to eat…until about 10-ish when it was probably too late to eat but I have each time, anyway. 🙄

Nightly scroll through social media and again, some gimp about 25 so not a child, and about 60% - 70% of all what they typed in a 4 line post were acronyms. I thought at first they were just taking the piss, but a quick glance at their other marvellous inclusions to the social media landscape… FTW, BFF, IDK…..etc…

I’m not beyond using an acronym if I am feeling lazy, but jeez….it’s 🤦🏻‍♂️🥱

You have predictive and spell check so it’s not taking more then a few seconds longer to formulate proper sentences…

Those people who stand waiting for their tray to come out from X-ray in the airport. Then proceed to stand right there while getting ready. Then leaving their empty tray right there.

Pick your tray up, get out of the ffffing way, and dress at the little tables.

TA, the other half walks around the house with her vape glued to her hand, she's always dropping stuff as always attempts to do everything one handed instead of putting the stupid thing down.

The chipper left an item out of the order. I rang it through and went to collect it. Only discovered when I got home. Not charged but annoying. I had the list of items with me when I was paying - should have showed it to the staff member so that he could make sure everything was there. But I didn't think there was any need.
