Trivial things that annoy you Part 43

Spitting after taking a few drags of a fag.

Two of my mates do it the whole time. Pisses me right off.

Smokers cough/voice/stench. They're ****ing disgusting.

Have to take bus today. Wish me luck.


Why do birds only do their irish dancing routines on the roof at early o clock. A 25 stone man wearing hob-nailed boots wouldn't make as much noise doing it.

Customers (generally irish women between 30-60 years if age) who are obnoxious, superior, rude and abusive to my floor staff and when I arrive on the scene are sickly sweet, nice as pie to me.

It's worse being that member of staff.

what really annoys me is when the manager doesn't give you back up.

Very rarely do I do anything except confirm what the staff have said. If I happen to know the customer is a big big spender, I may have to be pragmatic.

Thank you.

Still think there is no need for them.

Of course there's a need, it's the difference between David Moyes and Alex ferguson at Manchester United , ok, some may be a bit eccentric but geniuses often are .

Cheap zips on jeans, especially when you first zip up a fresh pair of jeans and you're afraid to pull the zip too hard in case you bust it.

Especially when the zip jams and you're in need of the loo. Oh the panic!!

I wear trousers with zips now, but when I used wear jeans (Levis, weren't cheap, just cheaply made!), the zips were forever bursting on me, until I discovered button flies! At least you can button them back up when they pop

Tip for the day, always look for YKK zips, be it jeans, jackets or boots, they are the best out there. And if the zip jams, try hair spray to lubricate it, you can use WD40, but in the crotch area it is a bit of a turn off:D

Thought today would be better but no. Got a new tyre this morning. Everything was fine and dandy. Currently stranded in rathnew. Breaks aren't working. I've missed the hike. Devastated.

I'm here as it happens just reading one of those "Little book of..." books. This is one from "The Little Book of Hope" -

There is one characteristic that promises more positive results than both knowledge and natural talent, and it is more reliable than luck.

Persistence.

If you just keep on going, maintaining your hope and belief that something good will happen, it generally does.

Christy girl, this is dedicated to YOU.
I went to my GP on Friday. Turns out I have bad ear infection and also some sort of mild flu. Now I have to take these anti biotic pills for the next few days. I can't take any dairy products, whatever that means either 2 hours before/after. Also must put ear drops in my ear.

You're due a wonderful day very soon to balance all this out.

Hugses to Christy (((o)))) Feel better. x

Oh no! You poor thing. You're having no luck. When things start going wrong like that I always do the lotto. My thinking is that the universe needs to balance the scales by providing me with the winning numbers..... Hasn't worked yet but I live in hope!

My rant: I set my chocolate too close to my cup of tea and now there's nothing but a gooey mess!

I read a brilliant story about this once. A customer in a well-known bookshop in London turned on the staff member who was trying to help her. Yer man was having a bit of a day, lost the cool, and told her royal snootiness to fúck off. Suffice to say, in her loudest possible outraged voice, she threw a wobbler and demanded to see the manager. The manager arrives and is surprised that it's this particular member of staff who's in trouble and detects very quickly that the staff member had been driven to it. So, quick as you like, he replies with;
Manager: Did this man tell you to fúck off!?! (said in an outraged tone)
Woman: He did! I never heard the-
Manager: Then why are you still here? Fúck off!

:pac:

I'd work for that dude in a heartbeat.

That means you cannot have any milk, cream, butter, ice cream, kefir, yogurt or cheese and anything with those in it 2 hours before you take a dosage of the pills and 2 hours after you take the pills.

Your best bet is just to not use any dairy products (see above) at all while you are on the pills until the pills are finished.

Hope you get better soon.

That used to happen to me when I would forget and put my chocolate too close to the vent on the side of my laptop. Trivially annoying it was when I discovered my Ritter Sport bar had slightly melted on the one side.

I hate being left handed why are tin openers so hard to use.

Kayden, Jayden, Lexi.
These are porn star names, not baby names.

Harrison, Brady, Harper.
These are surnames, not baby names.

Rihanna, Shakira.
These are Pop Star names, not baby names.

I'm left handed and use a StarFrit brand can opener. Never had a problem with that one.

What is also trivially annoying about being left handed is when you are writing and you get ink smudges on the side of your left hand. Hate that.

That new West Coast Cooler ad, you know the one. One of the most annoying ads I've ever seen. I dive for the remote when it comes on.
Is it genius to make sure a horribly annoying ad so as people will remember it?

The American golf commentary obsessing about Tiger Woods..

Was watching deh golf on Sky Sports Red button which was live link to an American broadcast. They were following Rory McIlroy's group. Then they cut away from Rory about to take a putt to Tiger Woods in the car park changing his shoes. They had a 5 minute convo about "Should he wear white shoes with his grey pants or dark shoes with his grey pants"... Was infuriating..

I was just channel hopping the radio, and (accidently) heard on 2FM, a "DJ" say "Ah ja knowwhatImeanlike".
