Trivial things that annoy you part 479

My mam used to do this thing where she would talk about me to visitors as if I wasn't there, referring to me as "he" even though I was in the room staring her in the face. She would draw attention to me and embarrass me like so:


"he's getting tall isn't he"

"Ah yeah, he looks like your Andy"

Cue everyone in the room staring at me as I nervously butter bread and hastily exit.

As a teenager my da pulled the same **** once while talking to someone in the kitchen

"he's a bit shy"

All in plain earshot and eyesight. I couldve punched him.

Chefs on TV after they've finished cooking something always come out with the usual over the top hyperbole with loads of oohs and yeahs and tastes really amazing/delicious repeated time and again.

Jamie Oliver's the worst offender by a mile.

Feels like Monday, but it's Wednesday, but I've a weeks work to do over the next 3 days!

TA that some people do not know how to use their fog lights.

Driving along the M4 just now...very heavy fog around Lucan/Cellbridge stretch.
A merc mosying along with no lights on and switches lane without indicating. I need to go change my underwear now.

Phone in quizzes on the radio. Esp ones with kids on them. Presenter trying to act 'cool' & sounding like a clown.

Weird music. I feel old saying it, because I sound like my parents, but some music is just weird. One of our cats woke me at about 3 this morning, now he only really does this when something in the next door nightmares house freaks him out. So I went downstairs to see what was wrong. Couldn't really hear much at first, then I heard an odd noise that I thought must either be a problem with the fridge or the cats drinking fountain.

Turned the TV on for puss and went back to bed thinking he must just have been bored, but I had a look out our bedroom window to see if there was any sign of the Aurora that people were talking about. No Aurora, but I could hear bizarre music in next doors bedroom. Some sort of weird cross between trance and some sort of tribal thing. On the plus side it meant that it was just the music I could hear and not something wrong with the fridge.

Shops that do take away coffee - where the cups and lids are stacked tightly together and it's a minor struggle to separate them. Can't be great for hygiene either that people have to manhandle several at the same time.

This is an epic TA about take away coffee:

I went to the pub yesterday evening and I'm sorry I bothered. The place was full to the rafters of various amateurs on some sort of day-pass evidently, roaring and shouting. Now I have a mild hangover and a tremendous sense of waste. :mad:

No voice and dying.

Having to look well for something this evening and waking up with a sty at my eye. Then ensues the trivial debate as to wearing make up or not. It will make it look marginally better but could also make it so much worse after.

Aongus Von Bismarck

Traffic delays, detours and restrictions heading into downtown Frankfurt this morning because a load of far-left morons were protesting at the opening of the new ECB headquarters. They've taken to setting fire to cars and looting shops as well. How socialist of them. Thankfully I've the 5-Series parked securely in our underground car park. No smelly anarchist with a Che Guevara t-shirt is going to be setting fire to it.

PlanetRock have again limited their broadcasts to within the UK. So cant get our favorite rock station on our internet radio.

You cannot be done for murder if you kill someone for doing that. Fact. *

I am so glad I did not go out last night or the night before. Some people are beyond ridiculous. Both nights were disrupted by absolute gobsh*tes who couldn't handle their drink or their tempers. On Monday night, traffic was brought to an absolute standstill because around 10 tw@s were standing in the middle of the road pushing and shoving each other, banging on cars, yelling and stumbling around like drunken toddlers. The fight ended with one guy sauntering off with his shirt hanging completely open and his disgusting beer belly on show, yelling a racial slur over his shoulder at another guy.

And then there was last night. More stupidly drunk and violent idiots. Another assh*le with his shirt hanging open and his beer belly hanging out. He and his friends caused so much trouble, that a girl who worked in the pub he was being thrown out of had to run to the pub next door to get their bouncers to help get rid of them. The open-shirted loser tried to punch his way back in. A tiny blonde girl who seemed to know him told him to calm down and he actually started squaring up to her, getting right in her face and shoving her. When he finally realised he wasn't getting back into the pub, he decided to try smash the window and the doors. When he was stopped from doing that he shouted his way down the street.

If you get that drunk and violent on a night out it does not make you cool, it does not make you a hard man. It makes you a moron. And if you DARE to threaten violence and shove a woman it makes you the scum of the earth! Deep breath. Rant over.

Your neighbour was probably playing some Aphex Twin.

He's a lot of things, none of them good and definitely a stoner.:D I could tell by the hacking cough every few minutes.

I had a few beers lined up in the fridge last night. Fell asleep before I could tuck into them. I was looking forward to them as well.




......after a long night of sleep, I don't really feel awake.

When you give someone a lift, and they get out of your car, and SLAM the living Jesus out of the door.

Non drivers are the worst for this.

I can't decide whether to buy a bottle of vodka instead of a bottle of gin this week. Usually I drink gin but I think I fancy a change. I'm not sure if I'll find vodka a bit meh after not drinking it for a year. Then there's all the flavours of vodka to decide between. I like the complex flavours of gin so vodka might taste a bit bland.

Really?? I genuinely didn't know that!

My annoyance- stupid people with their stupid comments. Wrecked tired today after 11 hours work yesterday. One of the busiest days of the year. anyway a person saw me yawning today.
'"Uh someone was out yesterday!"

'I wish. I was working yesterday.'

"Ha. Sher why would you be tired from that? Sher that's only a past time for you!"

' ya cos all I do is stand here swinging my arms. are you serious? '

"Ha ha ha."

God I hate working with the public.

I brought the kids to the parade yesterday, I now know why I have avoided it for years. People are so pushy and rude, we went early so as the kids could get a good place at the barrier and I couldn't believe the amount of adults that tried to push in front of them.
