Trivial things that annoy you Part 43

What baffles me is why they didn't just streamline services across departments by integrating the PPSN card with the driving licence card, instead of having two separate cards?

Which reminds me - at 37 years of age, I haven't carried ID for years, yet there's always that one "Have you got ID?" security personnel, rarely, but it still happens. I mean, do I look like I'm gonna be tearing up the dance floor? Very unlikely! :pac:

Don't know.

Why? Portugal were neutral during WW2 so Tommies would have had virtually no contact with any Portuguese people.

Quite right, sorry - I should have said World War I.

Teenagers, again and there permissive parents. There's a group of teens from a neighbouring estate who wander the street until late at night. There's often at least 10 of them together so they make a lot of noise. My husband gets up at 5am so it's a pain in the arse when they're out the back of our house at half 11 at night, especially when they aren't from our neighbourhood.

Fecks sake, they should be indoors by 11pm, no justifiable reason for them to be on the streets at that time of night. Can't wait for them to go back to school. I love Winter, it keeps the fcukwits and loonies indoors and you don't see many kids around either.:D

This morning one of the worst things happened, I think it takes the biscuit for trivial annoyances.
I was half asleep on the couch last night so done my nightly 'locking up the fortress' routine and off to bed with me.
Came downstairs this morning, into the sitting room and RAGE :mad:
I forgot to put the tub of ice cream back in the freezer before I went to bed :mad:

LOL! I did the very same, left a tub of Ben & Jerry's on the floor beside the couch last night.

Fortunately I had the good sense to eat all the ice-cream out of it before going to bed.

Proud of you. I was silly and filled up on pizza before the ice cream!

Apologies for that, if it's any consolation, it was some cookie flavoured Haagen Daas that was on special offer. So my heart and fat belly wasn't fully committed to it.

I had a really bad week a few months ago. It was one of those horrible weeks when it was pissing from the heavens everyday, it was windy and overall miserable and every day was just a nightmare when nothing ran smoothly. So by the end of it - when I ruined about 7 umbrellas, got soaked numerous times and hated the world - knowing my flatmates won't be home that evening I was going to treat myself and got a tub of B&J Phish Food, put my pyjamas and fluffy socks on and was going to murder the tub while watching Hot Fuzz. I could barely eat half of it! I was so disgusted with myself :mad:

Barely There

Dental appointment yesterday.
It's a fancy dentists' and as well as a selection of magazines in the reception they also have an ipad mini.
The ipad has been commandeered by a woman with the whiniest 4 year old on the planet. With the help of the receptionist they eventually manage to find Peppa pig episodes on youtube for the little brat.
I then have to spend 15minutes sitting beside them listening to Peppa denigrate her father's intelligence while that horrible clown music plays over and over.

Why can't we live in a world where it's socially acceptable to stand up rip the ipad out of the kids sticky hands and fcuk it and the little fcuker out the window?
Why?

Did you ever see Steve Martin in "The Little Shop of Horrors"?:eek:

I was in a gift shop yesterday, loads of pretty and expensive things, a kid picked up something delicate and screamed as his mother and grandmother tried to get him to put it back, they were there going "oh no now Sean you have to put that back, good boy" the kid continued to be a little bollox and the shop keeper lady who had been giving mammy time to sort it out eventually went "enough" in a stern voice, quick as a flash the little fecker put the thing back and left the shop.

Ack, that reminds me - everything's a "challenge" these days in advertising. The latest one being I saw yesterday some dishwasher tablet challenge. It's a dishwasher tablet ffs. If you can't tell that your dishes aren't clean, then you really are challenged, and not in a nice way.

Speaking of tablets, these things are bloody awful, not just trivially annoying. I had to borrow it off the young lad while my phone is away for the next two weeks being repaired. I only had it a few weeks and already the USB charging port is already gone loose.

If it makes you feel any better, there was only between a quarter and a third of the tub left when I started - and it was my dinner because we badly need to go shopping and all we had in the house was a quarter of a block of cheese, milk, breakfast cereal, ice-cream, chocolate and some lemon drizzle cake that my OH made yesterday.

She had the last two eggs and some beans for dinner - I had lemon drizzle cake and a quarter of a tub of B&J's, because I'm a grown up and I can do what I want.

You'd swear we were broke students.

Oddly enough, in my evening on the couch yesterday, I was watching a Louis Theroux documentary about Self Fufillment where the group of "self-help-'dreams come through'-hypnotist-healer-empowerment-extort all your monies" guys refused to use the word problem, and would always say challenge.

The first time I saw those was that scene in Top Gun where Kelly McGillis turns away from Tom Cruise after leaving a note on his desk. I was quite young at the time, strange how that sort of thing stays with you

/toddles off to YouTube :pac:

Well, Hells Bells so there is.

People at the cinema. We went last night, and watched the inbetweeners again, there was nothing else on. We got there 30 mins before it was due to start, and good lord. It looked as if all the staff were remedial, they were serving so slow. We eventually got up to the front of the que and even though it was the 6 euro deal in odeon, he spent 36 euro on tickets, sweets two drinks and popcorn. Robbing bastards. Your one told us that the only seats left were at the very front, so off we shuffled, in past the security guy (at the cinema!) and found what must have been the last two seats together, in a row close to the back.

In the row in front of us there were 3 empty seats, single because dumbasses wouldn't sit next to the other person. The security guy kept coming in with a torch to see what seats were free, and then people who arrived late had to come in with staff and a torch, very distracting.

Then of course when the movie ended it was like a stampede to the door.

Not a fun night at all, would have been better off going to the pub
