Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

Pumpkinseeds

Getting a really annoying song stuck in your head. I keep getting that line 'take me dancing naked in the rain' going over and over in my head. There is no rain and even if there were I keep my wobbly bits for indoor exposure only, don't want to frighten animals or children:D

I see your point. But nobody says "I'm going to Centras/Spars/SuperValues etc.

Quilty your honour. I use Tesco/s and Euro/s interchangeably. Don't know why it is and I'm not going to look too deep into it!

I also pronounce Lidl as "Lidd-le" but according to the ad on the radio, it's "Lee-dahl".

So do I, especially as my collection point is four miles away from my house and I don't have a car :mad:

I'm relieved that most of the neighbourhood kids are old enough to play elsewhere these days. It used to drive me nuts listening to them outside our house every day during the holidays. I know they're kids and we were probably the same at their age, but it didn't make me any less peed off listening to them shrieking their heads off.

Hold on, I thought kids haven't played outside their houses for the past twenty years? :P

My other half is due our first in a few months and any time I've been to the hospital with her there's guys sitting in the limited seats of the waiting area. Really grinds my gears.

I have to cohabit with a middle sized fat moth for the night. I tried to explain to it that it'll be better of outside but nope, it wouldn't go near the window, it's resting on my lamp instead. I'm sure it'll freak me out at some point during the night. Which means I'll be half asleep the whole time

I have an absolutely mental idea. I reckon, no offence intended, that you are significantly bigger than the moth. It's possible that you could use your upper appendages to lift the moth and place it outside the window. You could then close that window and sleep in peace.

I only suggest this because, outlandish as my ideas sometimes are, this is what I would do. :P

Turn off all the lights in your room, leave your bedroom door open and turn on the light in the landing? Normally works for me.

In the same breath, I hate formalities like that. You're a person just like them. Like homer says, the only person that calls me Sir is my bank manager.

The kids in our apartment complex are not human. No way. They are the spawn of satan. Loud, obnoxious, ball kicking, shouting, screaming, noisy spawn of satan. But human? No.

Yeah totally ageist I am....feck it sure I'm racist too :rolleyes: It's not that I have anything against kids per se. I just dont like people who are loud, selfish and inconsiderate - and it's generally kids that happen to tick all these boxes. That said, if a middle aged bint decides to make the same level of noise outside my apartment, I will treat them to the same "polite requests" to quieten down. I wait for them to leave their póxy football unattended every night so I can creep out and puncture it :P Fuuckers are too smart for that though, aren't they?

<snip> is constantly giving out about dogs.
This morning she is giving out, for the past 10 minutes, about her friend getting her dog groomed yesterday evening. Her friend got one of those mobile dog groomers to call to the house and groom the dog and all I'm hearing for the last 10 minutes is that it's madness paying money to have a dog groomed, waste of money, what's the point etc etc etc
She is constantly giving out about dogs in general and specifically her friend's dog.
If I so much as mention my dogs (I wouldn't be talking to her about it,<snip>) she sits there rolling her eyes and sighing and acting like a total muppet. Yet, if she mentions her children everyone must sit and listen.
Nothing more to say really, it just does my head in.

Hate people like that.

Why do people think kids need hi viz jackets in bright sunshine, in Summer? I've just seen a long line of kids cycle past, must be some sort of Summer camp thing, probably about 14 or so kids of about 8/9 years of age, all of them were wearing hi viz vests and helmets. I get the importance of helmets but ffs, the hi viz vests are too much and over the top.

The other day I saw a group of kids in their early teens out walking and again they were in hi viz jackets. Sweet Jesus how did my generation manage without them. Likewise with these wheeled mini suitcases that people use as school bags for kids:rolleyes:

Better for your back instead of lugging around the books with the weight on your back. I had a bad back in my teens and a doctor suggested I use that kind of bag. So not a totally crazy idea.

I should have been more specific, I was thinking more of the very young kids like junior infants, who might have a little lunchbox and some crayons etc, so not very much at all really, certainly not enough to warrant a suitcase:D

How much "lugging" do they do though? Judging by the difference in traffic between terms I'd guess not an awful lot!

I hate waiting for deliveries. Our fridge freezer is due any time within the next 3 hours. For some reason, probably psychological, I feel a bit drowsy and would really love a nap.

Pumpkinseeds

Of course when it is delivered I'll have the tedious chore of cleaning it before we use it. I'd never put food in it without giving it a good scrub first.

^my tired brain didn't think of that at all. Will remember for the next time. (Hope there won't be a next time.)

However, to all concerned, moth and I are both ok and well. I am anyway, I haven't seen the beast this morning...:pac:
