Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

There's just been an automated announcement that my bus will be diverted due to an "incident" on our route, but no word from the driver as to where or what the diversion actually is. That's helpful.

Might be related to road closures around the Dail for the budget… but yeah, that's well annoying from the driver.

It's amazing how much quicker the kettle boils when it's plugged in…🙄

This is beyond trivial and well into petty territory, but one of my colleagues drinks several espressos a day and only ever takes the cup back to his desk with him, so the espresso cups and saucers, which are neatly arranged on tip of the coffee machine, are always mismatched. It annoys me no end and beyond any logic or reason.

Hotel pillow was so flat and sh1t I've an awful crick in my neck. Driving home with it wasn't fun. I hate hotel pillows with a passion.

friendly acquaintance who has my phone hopping having spent the last x hours just updating random memes on Facebook…

Whilst I appreciate life isn’t plain sailing right now, marriage break up over the summer etc… they didn’t reply to my last message about a month ago and I’m fúcked if I’m reading and liking everything and anything about the value of friendship…cats…dogs…mental health for about the 25th time..

I’ve disabled their notifications…. 😵‍💫 only so much you can do..jeeezus

Propose another time. Or if you have to attend, call them out on their timing. All it takes is one person to make a stand. I did that a few years ago and as a result, Zooms between 12.00 and 2.00 were no longer tolerated.

the abomination of a gobshîte on tiktok who put up a multi photo and multi paragraph post lamenting the death of American Pickers Frank Fritz…. Actually 9 photos used, but, all photos he uses are of Franks buddy Mike Woulfe, who is still very much alive and kicking…. His response are indicative of someone just courting attention and notoriety rather than someone who made an error.

Girl ahead of me in the queue ordered 5 coffees for her office, now that's annoying but listen to this. There's two barista behind the counter so you would imagine that one barista makes the girl her 5 coffees and the other barista would deal with the other people waiting in the queue for coffee. Nope, they both start making coffees for the girl, whilst everyone else waits in the queue.

I bought 2 house phones for £ 65 and they don’t work . Plus I think I threw the boxes away so can’t return them . 😡😡

Contrary customers being contrary.

Last year, after delivering two parcels to a fella down a pot-holed, narrow lane (that has gotten worse since) in the midst of a yellow rain warning morning, I left a tyre mark on his lawn when maneouvering the van out of the driveway whilst trying to avoid backing into his car. He stuck a note on the window for my persual the following day warning me not to drive on the grass again. Fair enough.

Since then, I have always made sure not to do so again, extra careful. Well I'd say if there was any contact with his precious lawn yesterday it must have been microscopic and requires the use of Wimbledon's hawk-eye system to detect, because he left a (passive-aggressive) note for me again this morning. It isn't even a particularly well-manicured lawn, doesn't even have a kerb that would at least be some form of buffer between tyre and grass in my blind-spot.

Next time I have an ESB cut-off notice for him (which I had two days ago) I might just skip that house.

Put me in a foul humour for half the morning.

To save disappointment I always keep a couple like this

They are much more convenient that any other type of adaptor I've used.

I’ve been meaning to order oil for the last month but trust me to wait until a Middle Eastern war to order it

You and me both 🙄

Sorry for quoting myself , but the phones were BT and 2 minutes with the phone provider could tell me BT don’t work on the new internet system . Strong words for the shop . I’ve bought alot of stuff and need more 😡😡

About time someone noticed i slipped kitchen into that one 😄

Projectile toenails in the kitchen are not something to be ignored!

Especially around breakfast time when the rest of their family are tucking into their nice big bowls of muesli.

The trend of tv presenters having a stubble .From countdown to motd they all have them

There was an article on itv news yesterday that if you speak slowly and clearly your dog can understand you . Pinch of salt

edited to put in yesterday

People coming off a side road who don't seem to realize how long their car is !

when you chalk something off of your ‘to do’ list only to find other people adding or trying to add something to that ‘to do’ list…to replace it.
