Trivial things that annoy you Part 43

The abruptness of the ads on Spotify!

Going to a gig, the w*****s that walk up in a line, as if they are going to walk past, and then park their asses in the space you have stepped back from to let them pass. Standing less than an inch in front of your face.
They must get away with it a lot, to try it so systematically.
I even went to the trouble of moving their friends away from in front of people I don't know.

When you go somewhere and sit down with something to eat and someone keeps staring you out of it, wtf.

Not even! In a ****ty little coffee shop, with tables piled on top of each other it's so small. Your one opposite me kept staring at me, I kept staring back at her, she'd look away, two minutes later id look up and she's staring again. Good lord. I wish I was brave enough to ask her if she was okay

Special place in hell for people who do that. Guy a foot taller than me tried that at the gig I was at on Thursday night...

Trivial annoyance of the morning, the neighbours in this terrace's seeming inability to chop a supply of firewood. Don't get me wrong, if they were elderly or incapacitated I could understand it but they aren't. All of the houses have at least one lad under the age of 40 in them and yet they can't chop a day or two's worth of wood at once. No, they have to feck about chopping one or two pieces like a little girl. Get an axe, swing it a few times, job done. This piddling about with a small girly hatchet and taking about 20 chops to cut up one bit of wood is pathetic and really bloody annoying to listen to.

It's actually really hard to chop wood, like trying to hold it with one hand and swing with the other, then you're hitting knots and all.

Glad to be back working again but God I hate working weekends!

In next Saturday and Sunday as well......

That this thread will probably close before the advertised 10,000 posts, and I wont get the witty 2nd post on the new one.

Not when you do it properly.:) Doing it properly means taking a good swing at it and is great for burning off stress and calories.

Oh I do take good swings at it. I think I used to scare my dad, he'd stand a safe distance back, and eventually he'd take if off me, and finish the job. I agree it's good stress relief. I used to imagine my blocks were a girl I used to be friends with but she is my arch nemesis now.

As with everything in life there is a trick to it....hit the block in line with the rings not across them...if that makes sense!!!

* still will require a bit of a swing...though would love to get a tractor splitter

I saw one (just about) on a dual carriageway the other evening, cycling right on the line of the hard shoulder, dressed head to toe in black, no hi-vis, he did have a sh1tty light though, so therefore, was not cycling illegally. but does qualify as a moron. Imagine, there was a time when we had to be forced to wear seatbelts when driving...how stupid that seems now. But some cyclist still think its ok to go out dressed as Darth Vadar, with a crap little light.

Seeing so many homeless people and how they're so mean to each other. Yesterday I watched one aggressive asshole threathen some guy sitting on the street wrapped up in a sleeping bag, telling him not to be begging in his area.

This evening on Westmorland street/the quays, a group of junkies surrounded this harmless looking middle aged man, and made him take his shoes off and took whatever he had in his shoe off him. I got a good look at him and he was off his bin, foaming white stuff out of his mouth and all and I felt so bad for him.

The dude sitting across from me having a conversation on his phone but actually you can tell its for the benefit for anyone within earshot.

And then rapunzel sitting in front of him combing her hair like a banshee.

Children and feckin Snapchat. Last night I dropped my teenager to a disco, about 8 miles away, in an area I'm not totally familiar with.
I had a fair idea of where to go,it's all dark back roads. My 21 yr old came along for the spin. I took a couple of wrong turns, but got there eventually. On the way home I got even more lost, ended up on narrow little dirt tracks. The eldest girl starts antagonising me, do I not know where I'm going, bla bla. I'm tired and cranky, and start effing and blinding. Unbeknownst to me , the bibe is making me her Snapchat story titled "Getting lost with Mammy". Sweet Jesus, some days I wonder what I have reared:'(

Over priced items just because it's a "craft" fair. OK, one guy had beautifully turned wood items at a reasonable price but everything else was crazy money. A bit of a plank painted as a house nameplate for €35, a varnished pebble with googly eyes €8, plastic beads strung on elastic as a bracelet, poor quality greetings cards, shoddy knitting, some nice jewellery but at exorbitant prices, a couple of nice 10x8 watercolours but at €400 a piece! Either these people has over inflated opinions of their skills or the rest of us underestimate the quality of the work we do ourselves.

Oh there were some of those there as well. I told the guy I had better in the garage for chopping as kindling. He blushed and shrugged silently. Chancers!
