Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

AulBiddy

People who talk over others.
I had to go to my sisters workplace to print off something from the internet that I need for applying for my licence. We had been shopping beforehand so she left her bags down and asked her co worker at reception if she could use the computer, no problem she says. That's fine. Co worker gets up and my sister asks me for the website. I had a bit of a mental block so I couldn't really think, next thing this wagon of a coworker starts looking through all of my sisters bags exclaiming "Oh were ya shopping?!" I'm standing here trying to talk to my sister telling her different websites and every time I try to speak this girl starts talking!!! "oh those are lovely leggings where did you get them!"
"Try the rs--"
"Do you think they'd fit me, they'd look lovely with my top!"
"Do you mi--"
"And ya got them so cheap!"
She stopped once I started to roar to my sister over her talking. Think that was the only way she got the message.

The brother had a CLK320 for a few years. A mighty yoke.

People saying John is 'out in' Australia/Oz bugs me. It's like equating it to being out in the back garden.

Are you talking about Sheeran?

His new song his cringeworthy. Funky Ed Sheeran is embarrassing. Sing more maudlin ****e about your feelings or something.

People who invite you over to their place for dinner, then text you an hour beforehand to ask what you want from the Chinese takeaway!

When nobody ever invites you over to their place for a nice Chinese

Or people who never invite you theirs, even though you've had them over loads of times.

Lesson learned.

Funnily enough I started a thread on that in the Geography forum (yes, there's a geography forum) over 2 years ago. So either this is a gas coincidence... or you're a major creep!

People talking over others are absolute pr**ks.

I've been in team meetings in work where people (including people I was quite good friends with) have all been talking over each other. It boils my blood, as our team leader would be sitting there waiting for them all to shut the f*** up. (He was too nice to tell them to.) Meanwhile, I couldn't get a word in because there was no point when nobody was listening to anyone. Around about the fifth meeting, I started getting really annoyed and began aggressively shushing everyone :pac:

Also, when it's in social situations, if people are talking over each other I just decide they're not worth talking to or hearing and I just stay quiet and leave at the first opportunity.

Love to see that Bono graffiti.

Driving thru certain part of Dublin a few years ago, and saw one that said
"Micka Foley does the sunbeds":D

I wish the educational graffiti (attached below) was still there at Windy Arbour aka Na Glasáin Luas station. Says everything about Churchtown really . I can just picture it. Someone losing their mind at the another gawping trog on De Luas;
Trog: "Ah jaysus! De 'H' is missin' from de HHHarbour. Der must be a lo' o' stupid fooks around heyor."
Local pedant: "NEVER AGAIN SHALL THIS TRAVESTY OCCUR! JEEVES! FETCH MY SPRAY PAINT."

Katie Taylor's monotone voice on that ridiculous insurance ad. And her bullsh*t about God helping her win fights.

She sounds brain damaged.

Posted a letter last night with a 60c stamp on it. Didn't know stamps had gone up. Dammit, hope it gets there.

I ring someone, they're not there, I leave a voicemail asking them to call me back.

They call me back, I'm not there, they leave a message asking me to call them back

I call them back, they're not there, I die a little inside


When will the vicious circle ever end???

My family used to have a tradition of holding out big Christmas parties and New Years eve gatherings, no holds barred... with catering services and good food, drink, gifts and what have you and so forth, every year - easily amount to 300+ people.

Majority of these people, you wouldn't ever hear of again til the next party of the following year - personally see them as nothing but a bunch of fecking moochers.

Pretty much all stopped now, instead we just hold up the occasional BBQ in Summer, and Xmas Dinner, with close friends and family.

When you just text them.

When you see shoes on the floor and the right one is on the left and the left one is on the right. I don't have OCD but it just annoys me.

I refuse point-blank to use voicemail at home, in the office or on the cellphone. It is a clunky, archaic, inefficient pain in the hole.

<CLICK> Hi, both Jim and his telephone are gone walkabout right now, so this is his fridge. I'm not very good at this secretary stuff, but I'll take a message and try to communicate with him as best I can when he gets back, probably by sneakily allowing his chicken kievs to partially defrost, thus giving him a dose of the galloping scutters, the poor fella. That'll probably cover the gist of it anyway. Take it hawndy noy, keep 'er lit. <BLEEEP>

Yes, I know the type. I call them the Compulsory Fun Obergruppenführeren. They have to be organizing charity tiddlywinks matches, piñata-walloping or else in the gym sweating out the deadly toxins that have accumulated after the West Coast Cooler they had last night when they were "Maaad out of it!!" at some blasted company do or other. I believe the reason for it is if they are alone in silence for more than five minutes they start to see themselves for the vacuous planks they are, and the Void starts to roar up to them.

The use of the word awesome to describe things which would struggle to inspire a passing interest let alone awe.

"My new socks are like, awesome!!"

No, they're really not.

I despise that whole modern office style where the company has a "culture". Go on out of that, this "culture" business doesn't fool me - the CEO may wear a short-sleeved shirt, have no tie and even say hello sometimes!...but he doesn't give a shyte about any of you drones.

Anyway, I know the type...there is one "Lead" where I used to work who took on the role of fun organizer...usually some lame video games session after work (who'd want to stay in work for that!?). And of course, has funny photos attached to his emails - you're so zany!!11! LOL.

I saw a documentary the other day on BBC4 with Rich Hall (I don't find him particularly funny but very good as a presenter for docus) and they were showing these tossers going around on these stupid things in Silicon Valley, it always amazes me how people get so brainwashed by corporations and think they are an integral and valued part of the company.

I'll let you in on a secret, the owners and higher ups of these companies would step over the bodies of their families for money. That's all they care about. They couldn't give two shiits about you.

Thank goodness it's not just me OldNotWise. Don't get started on the bird's nest hair and dodgy black eyeliner.
