Trivial things that annoy you

The Stephen's Day to New Year's time warp, I'm sure it's been said already but I've no idea how much of this thread I've read recently because of said time warp. I've a grasp on what year and month it is but what time of day/day of the week, not the foggiest without checking. The Big Big Movie was on on Friday (I think?), none of the proper people are on the radio, the usual people aren't emailing at the usual hours, I'm drunk when it's bright, what the hell is happening and when am I????

The TV ad about safe driving....'...expect the unexpected'

If you did...then it wouldn't be unexpected.

Any of those drink driving ads or the ones about the starving kids of Africa.
They do nothing but make people feel uncomfortable and I ALWAYS switch them off.

They are good for awareness though, the drink drink ads especially in terms of scaring people straight. The one with the woman in her 30s slurring and speaking slowly "I don't... know... how this... happened" is possibly the scariest ad I've ever seen. I'd far rather that to the absolute nonsense they have in other parts of the world that make a tepid ad that doesn't do anything to get the message into peoples heads.

What also freaks me out is the blonde mother talking about her 17 year old daughter that got killed since I think it's got to be at least 10 years old... maybe it's just that it hits home more now (especially with me being 27 as well, probably around her age)?

One thing I REALLY hate though, is how the man is always the culprit and the woman is always the victim. It's always the guy drink-driving, it's always the guy speeding, it's always a woman who's the victim, no matter what. Even with the 'careful walking home drunk' ads it's a guy, or any instance where the pedestrian is in the wrong like not looking left-and-right. There was a montage type of ad of this and I think it's the only time I've seen a woman behind the wheel in one of these ads... along with about 8 men. I know men cause the majority of these types of accidents are guys, but you'd swear it was 99% of them from what they show. Really winds me up!

You can be as sarcastic as you like but don't tell me you don't sit there, with your parents or your granny or something and feel so uncomfortable when these ads come on?

Being such a hindrance and getting sick so often.

I was with out of hours dr on Xmas eve who sent me to casualty. 60 euro it cost me. Now I'm pretty sure I have a broken jaw, I think I need an X-ray but I'm too poor/mean to pay another 60 euro (for the dr) or 100 (to go straight to casualty).

And I'm too embarrassed cause I've been there so many times this year.

Weh, weh, weh.

Why would you be embarrassed??
In 2012, i was in casuality 4 times due to football injuries, and my GP another 3 times due to shingles. Imagine a broken jaw setting wrongly and the potential dire effects that could have on your future health and well-being. Get it seen to as soon as possible.

2013 I've been admitted to hospital 6 or 7 times, I've been for maybe 2 or 3 X-rays, and I was there 2 times with referrals from a dr. I feel like I'm on first name terms with the staff. I feel like a hypochondriac. And I'm way way too stingy to drop another 60 crisp ones

I am annoying myself for getting myself into these situations. You'd swear I was ****ting fifties

I think you need to look up what the proper definition of hyperchondriasis is.
If you were running to the Doctors with an obsession that you had every major illness/disease under the sun multiple times a month,then you might have a problem. You're injury prone, i can relate,it's horrendeous on the bank balance. A potential broken jaw however needs to be looked at,even if it costs you 500 quid.

If you've already paid for the Dr you won't have to pay for casualty. Go to hospital!

I can cancel my trivial annoyance post, I just got a calendar with weeks that start on Sunday:).

5 People who insist on re-boiling a kettle to make tea even though it may have only boilt 30 seconds ago.It's a myth that you must use BOILING water to make tea.The proper way to make tea is with freshly BOILT water,boiling water scalds the tea leaves and impairs flavour.Thank God I only drink Coffee :P[/QUOTE]

Agree with you re the coffee, boiling water burns the coffee and gives a bitter taste, but for tea, it has to be boiling water, poured in to a pre heated teapot.

The freshly boiled water angle may work for that abomination which passes for a cup of tea , placing a teabag in a mug and pouring water in.:pac:

Continuously boiling a kettle in work. We usually have a 10am tea break at work (should only be 15 minutes long, but remember this is Ireland and tea breaks go on for an hour) and every fecker who comes in 5 minutes later, plugs the kettle in and starts boiling it again, no wonder the electricity bill is running into thousands every year. I'm not paying it, but needed to moan about it today.

Apparently some of the 'stars :rolleyes:' from Home and Away are appearing at a local nightclub in the town where I live shortly. Don't know who they are and couldn't give a toss as to where they are appearing.
