Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

Little Acorn · 23-04-2014 5:10pm

When you bite the inside of your jaw whilst chewing food.

When sometimes for some reason if you are smoking a cigarette or rollie you go to remove it from your mouth after taking a pull but it sort of sticks to your lips and your two fingers slide down the cigarette and get burnt at the tip. It all happens very fast.

(also when you start smoking again after being a year off them.:(, will be off them again before easter break finishes.)

When you buy something fairly expensive and see it for half price only a few days later but have possibly already worn or used item so can't return it.

When the shower drain gets long hair tangled in it.

When you make toast and realise there is no butter left. OR:
When somebody has left burnt toast crumbs or bits of food or ketchup all over the butter that you want to use on your spuds.

When you are really savouring some meal or treat and the last bit falls on the floor. Or when your dog or cat comes and nicks the last bit.

When due to attitude you calmly ask someone more than once if they have a problem with you in an effort to talk through it, they deny any such problem exists then go bitch about you behind your back.

When people try to skip ahead of you in a queue.:mad:

It really annoys me when I'm watching television with someone who is criticising the programme, namely Mr Pumpkinseeds. I like that programme The Haunted Collector, now we both enjoy paranormal programmes but Mr P takes exception to this programme.

I'll be sitting there enjoying the programme and it gets to the bit where the guy asks if the client wants him to remove the object which may be causing the problem. It's at that point that Mr P becomes vocal on the subject, every single time. My mild mannered husband starts ranting 'thief, that guys a fcuking thief' Now admittedly the guy does take the stuff back to his private haunted musuem at his house, but like, whatever. I just like the programme. It's been cancelled now.

It annoys me those shows are given airtime.

You would be surprised how many people believe in this kind of spirit nonsense. Seriously.

I know that a lot of vulnerable people are exploited by dubious people claiming to have psychic/medium abilities. What I'm talking about is just light entertainment tv and each programme opens by stating that the programme is for entertainment only. Personally I prefer paranormal programmes that approach the subject from a sceptical point of view.

Being put in a really awkward position by someone.. no lads I don't mean anything rude.

I know a lad that comes into our shop every day who is over 18 and today he was buying alcohol and got asked for i.d., he didn't have it so got refused. He then came to my til because he recognised me from I.ding him before, and I after seeing this must also refuse the sale. So I of course now must ask him for I.d with the other girl eyeballing me and the security man staring at me.

I was asked for ID at Christmas, when I showed my licence I got WOOW

Complement to be asked, the wow was the knock back (I'm not that ****ing old! though I amn't that young haha)

It's a nice mild evening and I'd really like to sit in my front garden and have a coffee, but I won't because I know that there'll be another election candidate around the area canvassing again.

Street Performers who take ages to get to the performance and then its sh*t

The Gobsheens who write on the pavement and think its busking, being able to write is the least we should expect after 10-13yrs education

and last but not least "Statues" the human ones on the street that move when you pass and then stick a hand out or try give you a poxy lolly WTF

dont know what its like in the rest of the Country but its an epidemic in Dublin

Fast food packaged in a way that makes it edible yet inedible.

Wrapped in a plasticy thing wrapped in another papery thing wrapped in a paper bag.

Then when you get to it its too hot to eat and covered in 5 litres of sauce.

I don't get how that was awkward? If you knew he was over 18 and had ID'd him before, could you not have said this? Sounds like he has more of a case to be annoyed than you.

I had said. it could be the pope, but once asked for Id on a sale it must be shown. No id,no sale! I can't over ride another cashier. Instead of sayin to the lad go get your Id, they left him queue at my til. I asked them to tel the lad that, but no they said ask him for Id.
I'm probably not explaining myself properly, but it was my colleagues put me in the awkward position.

I've always wondered that. You get a bollockin if you start a new thread that's already been started before, and a bollockin if you resurrect an old thread. That's too much bollockin.

I hate people who make any sort of noise when they are eating.

I also hate people who stare at the food they're eating while they're eating it.

I also hate people who look at me while we're eating together in silence. Especially when they look at me and smile, for some reason.

I don't like him. He is way too opinionated for a radio phone-in show presenter and his opinions are usually absolute bollocks.

People who stare at you, for no (apparent) reason.
I was doing some grocery shopping on Tuesday, as I turned away from a shelf, I saw a woman across the way staring at me. She only stopped when I glanced at her.
Now I did get my hair cut the previous day, so maybe my hairdresser cut a shape into the back that I don't know about, a funny face or a streak of pink

.
I also dislike when eating out, people coming into the restaurant who almost put their head onto your plate. I don't mean someone glancing as they pass but a full-on gawp.

Some people love a good gape. I find it very rude if someone is gawking at you or something that is yours unashamedly. They seem totally oblivious and just stand there, slackjawed, taking it all in. On a couple of occasions I've asked if everything was ok and on one in particular I asked if they would like to take a photo.

Aggressive greeters. I had to bring 1 of our cats to the vet this morning, he's got an injured paw and is so sore the vet has to sedate him. So I'm waiting for a call from the vet to see how he is and when I can collect him.

I was just walking home, lost in my own thoughts, and some old fella in his 60's, said 'good morning' to me. I've never seen him before and I just smiled and said 'good morning' back to him.

I'd only gone about 2 steps when he shouts back aggressively 'I said good morning':mad: So I stopped and turned around, he'd stopped in the street and was waiting for a response. So I said 'so did I' and off he went. I'm really sorry I didn't tell him to fcuk off and die:mad::mad:

He's obviously off his rocker. You get odd behaviour now and then and it's often only later you consider that the person may not be very well in the head.

Bummers, by that I mean, those people of a slightly nervous disposition, maybe in a queue in front or behind you, bumming, you know, humming, but making a bum sound " Bum bum dah da, bum bum de bum" to themselves, and the more agitated they get, the faster the bumming gets.

Not quite bumming (trying to keep a straight face as I type this and all

), but it reminded me of a girl yesterday that was standing so close to me in the queue in McDonalds that her breasts were sticking into my back! I thought to turn round and ask her to step back a bit, but then I figured if her tits are digging into my shoulders, chances are she's a lot taller than I am and may not take too kindly to being told keep her tits to herself!

Actually if I'm honest, there were a whole raft of perverted smart arse comments going round in my head, so I thought best just put up with the bra buster, all I wanted was a coffee black with none of that UHT "milk"...

Obvious train of thought is obvious

Pillows. Our pillows have gone in the middle again. So I haven't been sleeping that well this week. I've got to buy some more this week. It doesn't seem to matter what brand or how cheap/expensive they are, they still go in the middle. I ordered 4 online last time and they'd already gone in the middle when I took them out of the packaging:mad:
