Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

Here's your scorching hot beverage sir.
You won't be able to drink it for half an hour.

Enjoy.

Not even very hungry, but have to eat in case I'm hungry later, so I decided to get a small salad in spar. A few strips of lettuce, a handful of supposedly Caesar chicken and asked for some sweetcorn. €5.27!!!!

Not only that but the chicken is so salty I actually can't even eat it. I would ask for my fiver back if there was a chance I'd get it.

Ever get the "wanna pet the bow-wow?" from inbred parents? The child comes over shrieking and stomping at the poor terrified dog..."look at the bow wow Crystal! Wanna touch the bow wow?" ah ffs give me patience, and call your child off.

Heh, we have a greyhound and a lurcher so we get the opposite, people scooping their kids up and running in the opposite direction with them while shouting about vicious dogs:D Suits me:pac:

What kind of moron do you have to be to associate a dogs size with aggressiveness.

It was a lot to pay for all that sweetcorn, it passes through unharmed!

A lot of people do. I get idiots thinking my dog will roll over and let their kids pull and poke at her because she's small but she's a terrier and doesn't really like kids!

It's not the size so much as the myths associated with them due to them historically being used for racing/hunting. Many people perceive them as being vicous when nothing could be further from the truth, as a rule. I kind of understand the reaction, as I myself would have been slightly wary of them before I knew what they are really like. However, in many of these incidences we are walking the dogs with our kids and the dogs are walking along calm as you like beside the buggy.

That said, I think many people doequate small dogs with being friendly and cute and big dogs with being vicious.

I can't wait for people's reactions when we eventually get our wolfhound!!!

Can we meet for playdates? It will be something like this I imagine:

When someone is so stupid that they're unable to pay you for the hours you work, despite writing in big massive writing in the book to tell them exactly how many hours I'm owed for. This is the 4th week they've been cocked up.

Restaurants who don't know how to store or present a cheese board.

Ice Storm

Doing job interviews and not hearing back from the company. :mad:

Lots of contact and then a big fat nothing:

• Apply for job
• Telephone call from HR to arrange telephone interview
• Telephone interview
• Emails back and forth to arrange face to face interview
• Face to face interview

Love it! Once you can resist the urge to pick up your own dog or any random passing kids and run in the opposite direction when you see us arriving:pac:

I know of someone who owns both wolfhounds and mini dachshunds. They are living my dream

Which reminds me, parents in our apartment complex treating the communal area like a giant creche, letting their kids screech, roar, skateboard and swing from trees unsupervised. Oh how I wish it would rain on the little sh1ts so we could all get some peace...

Same ones in our estate will now be roaming free for the summer, can't wait...

When people ask me why I love the winter, this is why! Take your kids out for the day or something, instead of just leaving them in the playground communal garden that is intended to be a space for resident's peaceful enjoyment :rolleyes:

I'm the opposite. I find that smaller dogs tend to be more aggressive. It's like they have small man syndrome lol. We had a jack russell terrier and he was really bad. He would always try to start fights with dogs way bigger than him. The bigger dogs would look more bemused than annoyed at him and I think that p!ssed him off even more.

Exactly. Ours is a JRT and she definitely thinks she's bigger than she is. She loves a bit of divilment. My Mam told me yesterday that two of the cats had a fight and when I asked her how she sorted it she said, "oh I just let the dog do that" - warrior runs right into the middle to break them up.

Happened chez moi the night before daughter started her Leaving Cert.
Thankfully, she isn't a crammer like her mother.:o and it didn't bother her.
