Trivial things that annoy you Part 43

deise08

When you keep turning around because you keep thinking you hear somebody calling you, but there's nobody there.

Little old ladies who shouldn't be out unsupervised... And losing my temper with little old ladies who aren't worth it.

OH and I decided to catch the bus into town together Saturday so we could both enjoy a drink with dinner. The bus wasn't busy, but a little old lady with a wheelie trolley was standing in the middle of the aisle, facing forwards. The bus stopped, and my OH asked three times 'Excuse me, can I get past?' Eventually, he tapped her on the shoulder, and when she turned, he moved past her. She starts swearing at him, calling him a dirty foreigner and to keep his filthy f-ing hands off her. I was following him off, and couldn't let it lie "He asked you three times to move, and you ignored him. You're ignorant and rude, his hands aren't dirty, you should be so lucky that my gorgeous husband would want to touch you! If there's anyone dirty here, it's you - you smell of BO! You need a shower, you xenophobic old cow!"
Silence. The whole bus starring at me. I got off, and then I was so ashamed of myself for letting her get to me!

Sir Oxman

Quite normal people who are presentable and erudite, good craic and generally pleasant but who, for some f uck knows reason, drink tea from an encrusted, s hit/tea stained vessel(cup) and worse offer you that brown s hit in a s hit rimmed cup and think it's the most natural thing in the world and sure, that's okay...
F uck off you awful animals.

Well done, I'd have done exactly the same as you. Fcuk her, she deserved it and probably uses her age to get away with that sh*te.

I'm back complaining about ads.

The newest Aldi ad where your wan is talking about other shops blinding you with science when you walk in :pac: I mean really! Is she being serious unaware of the song and using it as an everyday phrase or squeezing in a reference. I'd put money on it not being the 2nd option.

That Aldi ad were they're all sat around having a middle class discussion on ethical food and quality of food and caring where it comes from etc. Yeah, that's not what the bulk of Aldi/Lidl customers are interested, people shop there because it's cheap. They can get overpriced local food in artisan shops.

People who plonk themselves down in front of you and start with a deep sigh and " well , to make a long story short " ,you just know you'll be found in a malnourished state of coma with dried out saliva on your chin by a concerned relative three days later whilst the storyteller has gone on their merry way after unloading their angst on you .

Dial Hard

Waving back at someone who wasn't actually waving at you in the first place and having to disguise it as a quick check of your hair or something.

DP. Seems to happen from my phone a lot.

Old people really piss me off too. Glad I'm not alone on that front.
They are so self entitled AND they are OLD. Like die already.

One day you'll be old....

When a barber puts a mirror to the back of your head after a cut as if to gesture is that ok. It's not as if he can do anything if you think he's fucked it up or cut too much off.

Old people are great. They're kind and interesting and deserve people to be nice to them. I hate most people but I like old people.

I always feel sad when I see old people eating out by themselves, or shopping by themselves. It shatters the stones inside me.

Not a split-second of sleep did I get last night, wide-awake still, so I've royally fupped-up my sleep schedule for the billionth time.

Usually I'd just hop out of bed in the nip and go put on the kettle but I left the curtains downstairs open last night so now I have to waste time getting dressed first.

There is probably another neighbour out there fretting over the exact same thing. The other neighbour s longing for the day where they can put the kettle on in their nip but will only be comfortable doing it if they see someone else doing it.
Instead of killing their Buzz, make their day and embrace nudity.

Just don't stand to close to the kettle when it boils in case a few boiling splashes fly out of the spout.


It annoys me that Irish people are conditioned to be afraid to be naked.

A headline I read this morning:

'Suarez ban is too excessive'

Surely excessive on it's own covers the 'too' part?
It's like saying very impossible.

You'd think sub editors would be aware of tautology.

I guess it should have been just the right amount of excessive.

Or 'very unique'.

As it's spelled.

Cli-que

It's from French, after all. Also, if people pronounce it as click, it's... well... hard to distinguish from the word... click.

*totally trivial*

News reporters on tv telling their name and where they are reporting from... What a waste of time.

I don't pronounce Cheque as "shay kuh" so I'll never pronounce Clique as "kleekuh"

This used to make me laugh when I used to listen to Ian Dempsey, 'here's Paul Collins with the sport'. 'Good morning, I'm Paul Collins'. You don't say

I'm sorry but it is and always will be pronounced 'click' to me.
