Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

Working in an office, when the phone rings for someone away from their desk.

And rings and rings and rings and f*cking rings.

If they didn't pick up on the 5th ring, they're probably not at their desk you muppets!!

The fact that no matter when you go into hospital, no matter what it's first, they always insist on freaking you out asking ridiculous questions about pregnancy. I had a couple of fits earlier, proper seizures one after the other rather than the usual feeling of 'feeling weird'. He called an ambulance and the ambulance told them when they brought me in it was epilepsy fits.

I've been asked about 4 times if I'm pregnant/could I be pregnant. Stop freaking me out.

Now they NEVER ask me that

I have to drink water to help the tiny amount of food I've eaten go down. It's not fun at all.

I often have to do that anyways with no infection. Seems an old age thing. If I swallow anything solid that is more than tiny it sticks all the way down.

I made sure they are putting a few benches for us old wans so we can sit and gaze at it...kneeling is no longer an option as getting up is ******* Collie is better after a bad day yesterday ( she is old and will not last long).. Got lots of bargains in Dunnes so we shall all eat well, my cats and my dogs and I.. even some reduced chestnuts..Blowing a howling wet gale out there but safe and snug until Sunday now.. and the fire in the range lit first try..:o:o:p:p;)

Old style solid fuel cooker... You fill the fire compartment and it has hot plates atop and an oven at the side. Sensible houses connect them to the water supply so you can heat water and radiators but this one stands alone. they get called Aga and Rayburn more than ranges.. Mine here is the heart of the house, burns wood, turf, coal and always water heating atop

There is an old cowboy song called "Granny, get down off the fireplace, you are too old to be riding the range":D

A couple of months ago, we took out our front wall and gate. My TA is that I regularly still hear the click of someone coming in the gate. I'm starting to freak myself out that the gate is still there in another dimension, and my Dad is coming through it. I really need to stop reading Stephen King....

Not being able to get through to parents when I have good news and the lovely warm feeling I had on receiving said good news is slowly ebbing away as it is replaced by a general irritation that they are not answering their phones......

Aw, I hate that. You're all excited and want to share the good news...and it rings out! When I had my second child (very, very early) I didn't tell them I was in labour. They're in a different country and didn't want to worry them. Then, when it was all done, a whopping healthy baby...nobody answered their phones! About 5 hours later I got a text from my sister 'Saw your missed call, what were you up to?'!!! 'Squeezing a sofa out through my fanny' I answered!

OUCH!

Reminds me. At the Craft Fair in SUnday, a young woman walked past with a baby in a sling.. then I did a double take as all I could see was a fluffy big black ear sticking out. Thought for a moment it was a puppy.. Just a hat..

JanaMay · 09-12-2014 5:17pm

Ah yeah it was quite ouchy at the time but nothing compared to the pain of them not answering their feckin phones! In my hormonal haze I was fully convinced that they were all having a massive family party without me...at 10 in the morning! I felt so left out, I could see them there with their tins of Roses and Viscount biscuits all together munching away! Sleeveens!

Now I'm annoyed at them all over again! :mad::pac:

I met someone yesterday, who had to attend A&E, and they only had to wait twenty mins to be seen by a doctor.

I attended a consultant last week as a private patient and I waited longer than that. If the above were the norm, the VHI could go fcuk themselves.

When I was in a+e yesterday I was waiting about the same before a doctor came, was really surprised. Thought I'd be ages waiting but I wasnt.

I have been three times to A and E and the first two times that were by ambulance I was seen almost immediately - medical card here. Third time more but less urgent.

went for Mammogram fews week ago in Jams Hospital Dublin APpt was for 4' oclock.
Im not joking when I say I had literally take my jacket off and sat down to begin waiting, when I was called in. I was done and dusted in about 20 mins flat.

150 for the consultant
180 for test A, covered by VHI
140 for test B, not covered VHI

The bit that pissed me off? being screwed for the car park, all of 3.50. Baxtards
