    (not trivial, in my opinion) twats. No longer live in Ireland so can't get Pat the Baker bread, but if I could, I'd never be eating it again.

    When people / companies can't understand that 12am = midnight, not noon.

    One bad example of this is one shopping centre I know who have a big sign outside saying their sunday opening hours are 12am - 6pm. Very impressive!
    Simple answer "opening hours are 12:00 to 18:00" no confusion, unless you're so dim that you don't understand the 24 hour clock!

    yep would make a lot more sense. unfortunately I bet there are a lot of such dim individuals that don't understand 24 hour.

    on the subject of time format, literally have just come across this while searching for holidays. Now that's silly. Why use am / pm AND 24 hour clock?

    Most of the raspberries I bought on Thursday are mouldy on the inside :(. I always get my fruit in this particular supermarket, and it's so annoying that there are no best before dates on the fruit. I've never opened them to find them mouldy before though.

    This thread should be locked on days when the weather is nice like this. Stop us all grumbling and complaining.

    Just to annoy ye all, went to Supermarket today, bought cereal, cost €6, handed over a 20. Took my receipt and change, crumpled it up and put it in my pocket. Walking down the road noticed they gave me €24 change! :D

    Fella who served me is always a grumpy ould bollix too so I didn't even consider going back.

    Yes, I just broke the thread! :P

    Think I might do a sneaky football bet with the tenner!

    TA that some fookers were doing work outside my window at 8.30am this morn, think they were moving new desks into the office across the road had to get up around 9am

    Heartburn. I'm in bits with it, feels like Mike Tyson punched me in between the shoulder blades and I'm breathing fire.

    I genuinely want to cry. I've had a pint of milk, a pint of water and loads of gaviscon. I've only ever felt like this twice before and that was from an allergic reaction to something

    Would you stop and think about what you are saying, he is only off loading some bread for a few minutes and there is another disabled spot right beside the van and maybe more.

    I did stop and think. I am presuming the van does not have a sticker/sign to allow him/her to park in a disabled only space, therefore he has no business doing so. it does not matter how many disabled spaces are available. I have heard all the excuses "I will only be a minute", "I just got my hair done" "Ah sure there is a space over there.."

    Just dont do it.

    Seconded. It's very justifiable to be annoyed if non-disabled badge holders park in disabled spots, and is far from a trivial thing.

    (granted, we don't know if the bread van driver had a disabled badge, but seems more likely that they were offloading bread, and if so, it's not on).

    Are you regularly inconvenienced in parking in disabled parking spaces by others who shouldn't park in them?

    Thats hardly the point. You don't need to be disabled to be annoyed by people using disabled places when they shouldn't.
    Its just wrong.

    Me personally? No. But I have observed disabled people being inconvenienced by this selfish act many times. And that is exactly what is, a selfish act by selfish people. Lets be honest, how far far away is the nearest parking spot that this guy could have availed of? Ten, may twenty metres? But at the end of the day it does not matter. No sticker, no parking. End of.

    yep, it would be a bad bad world if we only ever got annoyed about things that direct us personally :)

    You are correct, that is the rules. I just personally think its no big deal, if he was occupying a sole disabled space fair enough.
    People would be more trivially annoyed if their bread was not on the shelves in time for their Saturday morning fry up. :pac:

    Look, I probably should not react like a do (But it is something that really drives me nuts) and it is way beyond a TA for me. No bread though...now THAT would be a TA.:D

    Ah you poor thing. I got awful heartburn when I was pregnant. Every time I bent down to tie my laces etc I felt it rising. Gaviscon helped a bit, but the best thing I found was (ok it tastes disgusting) was half a glass of water with a bit of toothpaste mixed in. It really did help. Also try to keep your chest higher than your belly at all times - cushions are your friend!

    On topic, today's trivial annoyance: people who open Whatsapp groups for work stuff but send messages at weekends and get annoyed if you don't reply.
