Trivial things that annoy you part 479

At petrol stations when the person in front of you is paying for their fuel but doesn't know the pump number despite the fact it's right above your head when filling. Always when I'm in a rush too.

My debit card is refusing to work. Declined twice today, and I've checked and there is money on it. It's so embarrassing because it happened in front of one of my friends who just assumed I had no money in my account. Have to wait until tomorrow evening to get into the bank GRRR!

When you bite in to a sweet to discover that it has licorice in it.
I mean WTF?

Sure what else could you do..I might do the same after reading about your experience:D

Stupid, self absorbed arrogant people.

All the beeping noises in the bank. The double security door. The self-service ATM. At least I had money to deposit for a change!

Lost the dog on the run. All of our dogs have died young over the years, I always fear the worst when she doesn't return straight away. She's good to come and if she doesn't come straight away there's probably a good reason! I had a feeling she's gone home and she was there. She's panting pretty heavily, she probably legged it home thinking I'd gone ahead or shall I say 'pawed' it home.

Right, so we should restructure the entire internet, as well as news reporting so that you can feel good about yourself. Do you want trigger warnings too? :rolleyes:

And if you are serious about wanting to do nasty things to people just by reading a news report, then I advise you to get counselling immediately. Get your emotions under control for your own sake dude.

Ah here you're spewing nonsesnse, so I think you need to calm down, take some deep breaths and step away from the keybord Rocky.

Americans writing the date arseways. Can they not just do it the same as the rest of us?

TA that my trivial annoyances are repeating themselves. Power cuts, phone falling through a hole in my pocket, it's never going to end.

As an animal lover and dog owner I tend to stay clear of animal cruelty threads. Because the rage I feel and nasty things I'd like to do, to anyone who would intentionally torture an innocent animal is not good for my health. So thanks to the idiot newly registered boards member, who squeezed all the savagery that was inflicted upon a poor dog into the thread title. And well done for not having the cop on to realise, that a lot of people find such threads upsetting and would prefer not to have such disturbing thread titles thrust into their face.

I was just complaining about the cruelty threads in ah as well, it makes me sad

not that I think it should be censored* it's just so sad
*unless the title was more graphic than it is now in which case yes

People who let their barking dogs out to the garden late at night or very early in the morning. Some of our neighbours do both, and I get that the dogs need a toilet break, but that being said, they don't need to be left to bark continuously for upwards of an hour.

My next door neighbour leaves her dog out all the time, not just at night or in the morning. All you can hear is continuous yapping all night long. Sets all the other dogs in the neighbourhood off too, so trying to sleep is almost impossible. I'm worn out with it. Do the owners of these dogs not hear it themselves like??!

My TA today was the bird who decided to relieve itself on not one, not two, but three items of clothing on my washing line, which all now have to be rewashed. My laundry detergent must have inbuilt bird pheromones in it or something :mad:

Is this now 'a thing'? Oh good Lord!

Recently got into Twitter. Have some followers, much of who seem to be YouTubers that are just starting out. My feed is now jam packed with "follow this person", "thanks for the follow", etc. and I'm regularly getting messages that say, "check out my video".

Is this really what Twitter is about?

"YouTube culture" where YouTube personalities are now molded into mainstream celebrities and being plastered all over teen magazines.

On the train to do a Religious Certificate course so I am finally a fully qualified teacher, 3 years after I graduated. Not impressed. I did religion as part of my PGCE but just because it's not Catholic I have to pay a stupid amount of money and spend a year doing this course. All to read from the Alive-O book.

Those fcuking Uber car ads on here that - no matter how you try to avoid it - take you on to another window for their sales pish when scrolling via phone. Fcuk off.

Honorable mention for 'Obviously' too.

obviously you've clearly never needed to literally explain something basically

Smelly people. And people who clearly don't brush their teeth and have that rank halitosis smell from their breath when speaking. Ughhhhh

How stuff is described as a 'hack' - a new way to use kitchen roll being described as a 'lifehack', for example.

The thing with my neighbours dogs is that all of them who let their dogs out to the back yard sleep at the rear of their houses so they aren't really affected by the barking, but we sleep at the back of our house, so we're getting the brunt of the noise. Like your situation, once 1 dog starts they all start barking. Last year my next door neighbour made a bitchy comment about the smell of what she called cat s&it at the back of the terrace, until I pointed out to her that our cats don't s&it on concrete and what she was smelling was the putrefying dog s&it in the neighbours gardens and bins.

I badly sprained my thumb last night and it bloody hurts, at first I thought I'd broken it. One of our cats has decided that he once again despises another of our cats and that he's either going to kill him or drive him off. I thought he'd grown out of that crap, it's been 2 years now since the other cat arrived. We hired a carpet cleaning machine a couple of weeks ago and did all our carpets, I think that's what set him off again.

HC, you're better off not wasting time heeding it, feeding it or quoting it tbh.
