Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

whirlpool

I got a huge craving for Ben & Jerrys tonight. Knowing it's normally around about €5.50/€6.00, I wasn't going to spend that on it so I checked out Supervalu and Tesco's websites to see if it was on special offer at the moment, before walking to the shop for it. It turns out it is, in Tesco for €4.00.

So I walked to my local tesco express, to find no special offer, it's currently at the brain-freezing price of €6.79!!

I didn't buy it.

Disappointed though.

But what the **** is up with the price of B&J??

I ate an entire tub of Ben and Jerry's strawberry shortcake frozen yoghurt on Saturday night, tastes exactly like ice cream. I've ordered a tub of the peanut butter cup 1 for my husband, he loves peanut butter and icecream. The lidl version of Ben and Jerrys is very good too, apparently. Mr P has gotten addicted to their banana, chocolate and walnut 1, I think it's just under 3 euro for the same size tub as B & J.

People who take the liberty to milk my coffee . They always, always overload it with milk.
I take a pipette drop of milk. I like my coffee like my men, very dark, and very strong.
Leave my coffee alone

I'm the opposite. I love loads of milk in my tea/coffee and whenever anyone else makes it, they never put in enough. Whenever I'm making it for someone else, I always leave milk beside them so they can add their own amount.

Worse than not having enough milk (in fairness, you can just add more) is people who put the milk in before the hot water. It tastes completely different and I don't like it.

I like putting my milk in afterwards too.

The met eireann weather forecast changing completely over the course of one day , and they never apologise for getting it wrong , happens all the time , it's trivially annoying because I don't rely on it and I'll check the BBC for a more reliable service , .....also that Cavan guy who does the forecast , has he ever done one that doesn't mention " But there is a possibility of scattered showers in the west " .... doom merchant .

Use your phone

OldNotWIse

Conversations that always go the same way, usually in small talk situations.

"So have you any holidays planned?"

"No, I used them all up for exams"

"Oh right, what are you studying?"

(insert course name)

"Oh wow that must be really hard/what got you into that" blah blah

- zzzzzzzzzzz

Now I just say "ah I've a week off in September" and leave it at that

People who drive straight through a pedestrian crossing when you're only half way across.

Uggghhh! People who drive through amber (probably red if we're honest) lights in heavy traffic when there's no room for them on the other side of the intersection, so they arrive on the pedestrian crossing after the pedestrian lights have already gone green nearly running people over and then park there, blocking everyone's path!

This happens with alarming regularity and it takes all of my willpower not to kick their window in. The height of ignorance.

Try clearing your cache.

All the West Coast Cooler ads with their silly numpty gals and their stupid dancing and pretending to have a good time. "Were not in Kansas now!" - wtf?? Go fúck yourselves and have a proper drink. You might loosen up a bit and actually be able to act.

Ad on at the moment about events coming up, some at the Gaya-dee The-ayder, whatever that is. Grouch, moan, I hate put-on accents.

That travel insurance ad on the radio with the Mrs.Brown wanna be makes me so angry!

Some singer whom I'm never heard of has opened up about his sexuality.
Fcuk off! No-one cares. Just get on with it.

I'm waiting for the day that a straight famous person does an exclusive interview or calls a press conference to declare their sexulaity to the world. 'look at me, I'm straight...who would have thought it!' Maybe then there'll be no more coming out and public declarations of homosexuality. It's your business. Not mine sunshine.

Annoying human: "So are you seeing anybody? Are you?? If you are it's time for the FB relationship status change!!"
czechlin: *facepalm*

(I don't even have the relationship status option visible, I couldn't give a toss.)

When you say *facepalm* I hope you mean you smashed your palm into their face.

Must be the most trivial annoyance I've ever read! :pac:

whiskeyman

When you buy a bag of nuts / cereal / biscuits whatever and the plastic tupperware box you have assigned for it doesnt quite hold all it's contents.... and you only find out as it nearly overflows.


Bah!!

People who insist on opening the windows in an air-conditioned office. I don't think you're really getting how that works, dudes...

I was very tempted to but I couldn't. I growled a little bit to make up for it... :pac:

The majority of the time is because the lousy air con is useless!
You either melt or freezer in our place.

It happened only twice and in both cases we had a stash of paper tissues but the cold sweats...

When you get to the reduced section of the supermarket, it's packed with treasures but nothing has been priced yet. Quit teasing me, Tesco.
