Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

That Let it go song from frozen. My oh sings it at me when I'm on his case about leaving windows open or whatever, and it ruined it for me. And it's practically on loop in work because everyone else likes it and it puts me in a fouler because i only hear it when I'm annoyed.

Treggings with zips around the waist. I bought a pair in dunnes for work. High waist ones. The zip keeps opening and my pants keep falling down

Im so not-with-it. Assumed you meant leggings but googled it. It annoys me how old and disconnected I'm becoming....

I think it might traumatise me to type it out.

My father in law is staying and I want to stab myself (as does my husband!). My only consolation is I don't have a mother in law. I hear they're worse!

My MIL is grand, and for some reason, thinks I am wonderful.....even after all these years.

Anybody else lost the 'goodwill to all men' bit when it comes to shopping? At this point all bets are off in that department. I think I need to watch It's a wonderful life. I've a few bits to get in the shopping centre tomorrow morning and I'll be in and out of the place as fast as possible.

Defrosting turkey. I cook the thing on Christmas eve afternoon so it's defrosting in a covered cake thing now to keep the 4 cats away from it.

Yes. I've to battle my way to Stephen's Green at lunchtime I don't mind the crowds when I know exactly what I want. I just put on my blinkers and use a good golf umbrella to beat them all out of the way. But "browsing" at this time of year? No way

Which reminds me of another TA - there seems to have been a run on random shíte this year so that stuff I am looking for that wouldn't be a usual present anyway is unavailable. It's like the end of the world and people are just buying stuff that's left

The fact that even M&S are doing onesies for men now , is nothing sacred , they'll be in BRown THomas'swindow next, a law needs to be enacted to limit them to Pennys only.

Good luck. I have just been to Londis on grafton street and it was like a battle ground.

I still have things to get. I can't relax until everything is sorted. I want to buy a suitcase for my dad, a lamb's leg for the dog, plus I feel I should buy something else for OH but I don't know what! Yaaaaaar..... Maybe I'll just go to the pub instead...

We bought some Christmas presents for my brother from the UK. The bad exchange rate screwed us and after all that he casually mentioned in conversation that a coffee maker he'd like was on offer in Curry's.:eek::mad: It'd have cost us half what we spent on the other things and I've never made him coffee, he always asks for tea. If I'd to make a list of 100 things to buy him a coffee maker would not have been on it. Well he'll have to buy his own coffee maker now.

I've to do some shopping this evening after work and the thoughts of it makes me want to curl up into a little ball and cry whilst rocking gently back and forth.

Why do we do it to ourselves ?, as long as you're out of my way when your lumbering around that suitcase and lambs leg or you'll get trampled , it's Everyman/ woman for themselves now , I learnt that yesterday when I was shoved forward in a checkout queue yesterday by a little old dear about 85 years old , I've got my antennae out now for them.

God, the 75 is bringing about all sorts of memories. I used to get it to/from work, and random was the only description I would use to describe when it might, MIGHT I add, appear. :mad:

Why do you ring a call centre 2 days before Christmas?! :{

I send a complaint to dublin bus each time my bus doesn't show up (every single Friday evening). They don't even respond anymore lol

Jaysus - the 75. There's a magical mystery tour of a bus route. I still shudder at a mention of it 15 years after I stopped using it!

Dear Santa,

I would like a ban on onsies, if you cannot do that, then I would like a gun, a big one, and a load of bullets, the blowey uppey kind, so I can shoot the bollox off anyone wearing these atrocities.

They are awful. I had a look at them out of morbid curiosity while Mr Pumpkinseeds was trying on a shirt. They are so heavy you'd reek of sweat within a couple of hours, and I don't even want to think about the accidental pee dribbling on them when guys have a few too many.:D

I suspect a lot of these onesies given as gifts are going to be "disappeared" by other halves before the new year, " did you see my onesie anywhere , dear ?" , "no" says other half, quickly changing the subject and avoiding eye contact.
