Walked back a couple of luas stops yesterday so I could get on closer to where it departs, thinking I might get a seat. Did I fúck Full of fúckin numpties already. Where are all these people coming from? I sometimes feel like I am on the Truman show and these plebs are just a rent-a-crowd put there to píss me off. To make matters worse, for the whole journey home, I kept missing seats that became free as the knobends standing around me wouldn't move. Take the seat or let someone else at it you absolute árseholes. I hate the luas! Doesn't matter what time you get on anymore, it's full. There must be people who spend their days just going up and down on it. Now...if everyone paid their fare.... :rolleyes:

This is one of my daily trivial annoyances!
Also, the gaps in between Luases don't make any sense. I live on the green line extension and often just miss one in the morning, then the next one says 14 minutes or something like that and the one after that 20 minutes. Wtf?! Why can it not be more regular, I don't wanna stand in the cold for 14 minutes! And the one in 14 minutes will be packed as well because of the huge gap.

Celtic Woman.

Ann Hathaways face in the b*stardised Les Mis.

People who go out for ten smoke breaks a day. I am going to demand an extra 30 minutes at lunch from now on, while I take all my smoke breaks together and dont smoke during them.

Cheap cráppy pens that are sold in bags of 100. I'd rather just have one good one. Same goes for miltipacks of lighters.

People who scrape their chairs when they get up, and then dont put the chairs back under the table.

People on public transport thinking you are looking at them when you are actually looking past them. Dont flatter yourself love, I wouldnt take a six figure salary job that involved having to look at your pox riddled pie hole 37 hours a week.

PMT and DMT!!!!!!! :mad::mad:

My MiL is a lovely woman would do anything for you but she can be a bit much at times. She sends my husband at least 10 texts everyday.

It's not meant to be annoying but it drives me mad.

Thinks that irritate me
- Cookery TV Programmes
- Singing TV Competitions
- People who carry a paper coffee cup in front of them
- people who say I don't believe you
- people who make quotation marks with the fingers in conversation
- people who say I work hard and play hard (and don't do either!)

Exactly! What I noticed (and once again this fits in with my Truman theory) is if I miss one, I will generally miss the next as there are two right beside each other, and then there is a huge wait for the next. Why can't there be the same wait between each?

Oh and here we fúcking go again. There is wet stuff falling from the sky!! Oh my gawd! It's RAINING!!!!!! What? In Ireland? Surely not Sherlock? Raining in Ireland?

Have you got an umbrella? Do you have an umbrella? You wouldn't have an umbrella would you? Would you mind if I borrowed your umbrella? Have you got an umbrella?

People making small talk is bad enough, but what really maddens me is when they do it while I am wearing earphones. I'm lucky that I can pretty much tell if someone is going to say something useful or ask me something important so if it's a small talker, I dont bother removing those ear-phones, I watch them gape like goldfish and then shuffle away :P





Later in the boardroom...."I dont understand what happened earlier, I offered ONW that 20k payrise but she just ignored me. I guess she doesn't want it"

OldNotWise,

would you like a few valium dear??

eisenberg1

"Can I get a contact number from you please?"
"Em, my home or mobile?"
"well the best one to enable contact with you.."
"Ok, I will give you my home number 1234567"
"Thanks"
"But I am never there"

When you dunk a biscuit and it breaks off in your tea and then sinks.

Not so much because you lose a biscuit but more because you're greeted by soggy biscuit mush when finishing your tea.

Getting hounded for no reason. My insurance is up the 1st November. I rang coverinaclick.ie yesterday because my friend got her insurance literally over a hundred less than what anywhere else had offered her.

So he gave me a quote, to stay with Zurich is cheaper for me. He explained he couldn't get it for any less, and to give them a call next year.
So, this morning, I have an unknown number call me. I don't answer unknown numbers, if you've to hide your number I probably don't want to talk to you.

Then a text telling me good morning, to call this number that they're offering great deals for 26 year olds today. I call back like a simpleton, get offered the same price (75 euro more) he keeps telling me it's the best he can do (like yesterday) and telling me to call back the day my insurance is up as it might come down.


STAPIT! Wasting my time, sheesh. We had this conversation yesterday, and as an FYI - no.

Aviva tried to UP my car insurance this year (by over a hundred quid!) and told me the best they could do was fifty quid cheaper. This is despite another year of no claims and no penalty points!

Tried Liberty, got it for nearly €250 cheaper than Aviva's original quote. Also way cheaper than the company just for women drivers and the insurance broker's offering. Never been with them, hope they're not shíte!

Trivially annoying is sorting the paperwork to move insurers. Ugh, effort.

Tonsillitis............cruel heartless bítch

People who leave newspapers folded up inside out, covering the front and back pages.

For some reason this really boils my piss.

I've never found anything I liked in tkmaxx, maybe because I lack the patience to look through things.

I have the patience but still have never really found anything! I find that so much of their stuff is old-fashioned and drab too Tried on a nice Hilfiger sweatshirt but it was a little tight at the bottom Pity because it was really cosy

Related trivial annoyance - militant bítches shoving other people out of the way as they frantically zip through rails of stuff

Sizing charts online which bear little to no resemblance to the actual clothing in-store. Gap are an awful offender for this.

River island is terrible for this!! Always have to go at least two sizes down and it's hard to guess online because you can't see the material. This is the most stressful part of stress relief
