Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

JanaMay

I hate the way most handbags are designed with the zip that closes to the back. On some it doesn't matter because they look the same on both sides so you can just turn it around, but others look best on one side, so that side is supposed to face out. I'm right-handed and wear my bag on the right - it feels odd on the left. The zip should close to the front of the back so sleeveen little thieves can't put their dirty little paws in. I've come to the conclusion that handbags are designed by pickpockets! (Or else we're supposed to carry them on the left). Quite trivial, but very very annoying!

Well I will admit that I like to read about Kate ...dont know much about Kim and Kanye but I suppose they are kinda newsworthy at the moment but Rosanna leaves me cold...so fake and hes seems to be just as bad imo

Fcuking pedestrians walking out in front of me!! People seem to say it happens all the time and honestly its never really been a problem for me before today. Maybe around certain junctions you get a few you've to beep at, but no problems. Until today.

Some gormless gobsh!te thought so little of getting knocked down that he didn't even bother attempting to look before crossing the road. No cars or buses therefore no traffic. I could see him, I tinged at him, I shouted at him when I realised he wasn't getting it. And still he kept going. I swerved to the left to avoid a full on collision, and because he's a big mountain of a lump in got the brunt of the force. Slammed right into his side. He's barely even noticed. Keeps on walking to the curb. Looks at the lights, asks what light it was, red or green. I'm shouting green, for me!! Sorry about that. As cool as you like. As if he had just accidentally touched off someone while moving along in a queue. Rather than causing someone to crash into him.

So now not only have a got my banging headache back, but I'm a bit more afraid of cycling in the city.

I went to Dunnes last night and there was one huge section of the carpark empty ..I parked there( my OH has it drilled into me to keep away from trolleys, people, cars, children ect in case they dent the car:pac:) Anyway when I came out there was one other car and it was parked right beside me...Now I know this shouldnt be an issue and is a reflection on me not them but it annoyed the life out of me...:mad:

This drives me absolutely berserk and just goes to demonstrate how inherent the herd mentality is in people. What is WITH that? No matter how empty a car park, I always come out and some subwit has parked in the space beside me.....twats.

Does my flipping head in. Why do people do that?
I was in the local shopping centre one day, plenty of spaces, and when I came back to my car, not alone had some halfwit picked the space beside mine, from about 10 empty spaces either side, they were also over the line, i.e. squeezed right in by my car.
So if you are that friggin bad at parking, why not pick a space where there are empty spaces beside you. I just don't get it.

Sorry I must have mis read it...I do empathise with you but I have had such bad experiences with cyclists recently that I am a little anti them at the moment. Not tarring them all with the same brush but just seem to have met some very annoying ones recently and I am always aware that should anything happen that I will probably be seen as being in the wrong because I am driving...no offence meant to you.

I always stop at red lights, let traffic pass me when I know I'm slower than them, use cycle lanes when possible, don't cycle on footpaths, 'thank' people for letting me off. But meh never mind. Must've been my own fault cause I'm a cyclist.

It's ok, I tar all drivers as lazy retards.

Because I use a word you don't like? No I'm not. You're a very sheltered individual.

I find myself at odds with the rest of society by not being in a gym nor running in my spare time. WTF is with all the running?

I agree with you. Mr P and I discussed taking up running last year. The discussion stage was as far as we got. The area I live in is popular with runners. I don't think there's a daylight hour that doesn't have a few of them running past.

Also I'm really sick of people's facebook posts about the short 10k run they did that day, as if it's normal or worse still, complaining that they only had time for a quick 5k run that day. I think a lot of it is down to the fact that many of them can't afford gym fees any more and running is free.

Living in a terraced house. I woke up this morning to the sound of hammering in someone's house, yet again. I'm so fricking sick of it at this point. It's like a competition in our terrace, one finishes with the DIY/ home improvement and another has to start:mad:

I live within exactly the same scenario. And, of course, there's the obligatory dullard who has to whistle whilst working/scratching his arse.

There's another trivial thing - whistling. Just fcuk off, annoying prick!

Because the pedaling bi-cyclists are even bigger arseholes than the pede-strains.

Instead of listing out all of today's trivial annoyances, I'm just going to sum my feelings up in one sentence:

I need new roommates

Cyclists using zebra crossings.
No, I will not stop for you, go f*ck yourself! Get off the bike if you want to be a pedestrian.

People leaving their ammunition lying around on the street.

Only to be accused of 'knowing nothing' by an idiot.

Yesterday I saw a fella cycling on a national road. He was all dressed up in lycra and gloves and helmet but was cycling one of those little fold up bikes with wheels the size of a side plate. It just looked silly. His legs were going round like billy-o but he was going nowhere fast.

Not sure why you have problems with hyphenation. Pretty sure you can really be a cyclist without pedalling

Lycra clad, no. Sweaty, yes. Homo, no. If you're going to try insult someone, but least try make sense.

I wasted a whole day yesterday waiting for a call back so I could go collect a print out of my blood tests to take to the hospital with me tomorrow, never got the call back. Now I've got to go sit in the waiting room and see the doctor as the receptionist isn't there today.:mad:

Guy in work and all he does is direct me to read documents instead of answering a question I ask. FFS so annoying. I am only new, think he could tell me about stuff too without leaving me to read documents and have more questions. Now I don't want to interrupt his highness with more questions.

Makes my blood boil

People who are sour, for the sake of it. There is a little coffee shop in my local shopping centre, staff are lovely, apart from one. I'm surprised the milk doesn't sour when she looks at it. I suppose, at least she is the same to everyone, including the other members of staff, so I wont take it personally
