Trivial things that annoy you Part 43

Why is it so difficult to get a nice simple hat? I just wanted a light soft hat for when I'm out walking in the evening. But the lack of choice is shocking. All the womens ones have awful bobbles on the top and come in disgusting colours. I am not 10, I don't want a bobble hat/jelly bag. I'm 41, so I'm not going to wear a wooly hat with a picture of a bear on it.:mad: I ended up buying a thinsulate one in the mens section.

I buy the ones in the men's section too. At this stage, I don't even look at the ones in the women's section.

I hate the way that old muscle injuries flare up in cold/damp weather. My dodgy leg is achey, somebody should give me a hand bell and I could wander the streets ringing it shouting 'bring out your dead'

I have this same issue and i've had it for years! My right knee flares up in the cold weather and gets so stiff and sore. I wouldn't mind but it's not like i'm even that old (almost 30), the doctor said it might be a touch of rheumatism and that the change in the weather aggravates it. "Steady on Grandad"

Female bathrooms - lots of empty cubicles. Go to more or less end for a bit of privacy low and behold you are guaranteed a one lands in and goes to the one next to you ?! WTF does my head in !!! what was wrong with the cubicles ? Guess its like an empty cinema and someone sits right in front of you for some reason. I don't know guess I like my personal space too much !!

They have just got off a bus with loads of empty seats, where they sat beside someone who had placed their bag on the seat because they wanted to make a point.

I haven't got the right kind of head for a hat . I just look extremely special. I know what you mean about bobble hats or those ones that hang down the back, remind me of wonky Smurf hats. I'm 41 too, and wouldn't be caught dead in either if I had a hat head.

I got an email from Eircom about paperless billing.

If I want to continue to receive a paper bill, I need to give them my name, a/c number and email address

They sent me the email?? Lazy ****es

Why not a simple yes/no box.

People who turn the water cooler to any setting other than "freeze your arse off". Weirdos.

Yes, I read about that condition on a UK website for the first time, last year. I don't think I suffer from it, by any means, but I still fecking hate noisy eaters, or slurpers of any sort. I used to sit near a guy at work, who ate a scone, at his desk, every morning...and it seemed to take most of the morning, so there was no escape. He was completely lacking in self awareness anyway, which didn't help matters.

There is an Irish language documentary "Fuath an Fuaim" (Hatred of Sound) from TG4 up on YouTube on misophonia; made last year, I'm amazed I never heard of it until now. It's interesting because it shows how unaware people are of this condition, even doctors.

Some horrible noises in it though so be warned!!

I have just sat through a 15 minute paper ripping and apple-slobbering duet, courtesy of a "colleague" and my boss, respectively. Thankfully I have a good set of headphones and am allowed to wear them!

Men who refer to minding their own children as "babysitting".

The way the tube of Pringles is big enough that I can fit my entire hand down cause god forbid half the tube would be enough. If I eat much more of them I guess my hand won't fit in the tube. Seems fair

I'm trivially annoyed that my hand has never fit down a tube of Pringles. Always at risk of spillage when you tip the can! Stupid Man-hands.

The noise carrots make in a plastic bag. So so horrible.

Put a carrot in a sandwich bag.

Rub the sandwich bag off the carrot.

Get sick and hit some children with disgust.

I wonder what carrots vomit when they are hungover and sick? Are there always carrots in their sick too?

And bits of seaweed, always seaweed in hangover puke.

I had a "fan" in college, many years ago. My fan was female but I would feel safer in the company of larry murphy. She sent me at least 5 texts a day for nearly a year after college, she has added me on Facebook a rake of times and I've always declined. I started to reply to her texts as
Her: hey (insert luv, hunnie, lad, pet)
Me: Who's this
Her: Kate

Just to make it clear I was dodging her. So WHY has she added me again, 4 years later?!

People talking about puke in great detail when I have a hangover

Or, even when you don't have your bag on the seat, and someone still wants to sit beside you, ignoring the multitude of empty seats.
That happened to me two mornings, in succession, on the bus, a few years ago. The second time, I left the seat and sat in the (empty) seat across the aisle, from where I had been.

I don't understand that either in toilets, where someone has twenty to choose from, but opts to use the one beside the only one already in use. What is their fear, I wonder...

Perhaps it's their fetish we should be wondering about....

Maybe it makes it easier to place the blame for the "aroma" elsewhere;)

I love hats, ya just have to find the right shape and size. A lot of ladies hats are all one size fits all and that size is child sized imho. I just wanted a simple hat to put on my head to keep the cold off when I'm doing my 4 mile walk, nobody's going to stop their apple cart to take a look at me in my tracksuit bottoms, trainers and jacket in the dark. My husband tells me I look very 'sweet' in it, *note to self: find ways to punish husband.:D

Because she thinks you're great. Can you blame her?

Obviously not shes only human.


Nah she does it because she has no friends and she just latches on and then reminds me of genital warts, never get rid.
