Trivial things that annoy you part 479

Washed the car, decided to go to shop, pulled out of estate only to get about 100yds down the road before the road resembles a ploughed field - Mr Farmer has left the road bogging for a good mile. Must go and wash the car again.

Those photos of male celebrities holding a baby, captioned 'porn for women':mad: It's fricking annoying and patronising.

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!

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

We accidentally shoplifted a 7.5 kilo bag of potatoes from Dunnes when we did our shopping last week. They were in the front bit of the trolley and we each assumed that the checkout operator had seen them, until I checked the receipt when we got home.:D

I'm hoarse from shouting at the rugby match! Painful

Wasted charity money. There was a local fun run on today, it's an annual charity thing, anyway, every entrant gets a t-shirt and a medal, what an absolute fecking waste of money.

When people talk as if just cos it's sunny where they are it's sunny everywhere. Very annoying when it's not that nice where you are but people are asking you if you're going out in the sun etc

Yes of course technically 12pm is neither midnight or noon see http://www.nmm.ac.uk/explore/astronomy-and-time/time-facts/faqs/is-noon-12-am-or-12-pm as one example, but 12am - 6pm on their sign as the example given is not quite what they are intending it to be.

By definition, and common interpetation and common use 12am is generally known as midnight, and 12pm noon. This might help you further: http://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2007/01/is-noon-12-am-12-pm-or-whatever.html Obviously better to use 12 noon vs 12 midnight, or 24 hour clock, since people find it so confusing, but it's a trivial thing that annoys me that people mis-use it so easily, and don't quite know what they're at.

Edit: this on the confusion explains it well also, and their table is quite useful. wikipedia but the same info you'd find elsewhere e.g. the several places they've referenced.

Zippie is right. 6am is associated with very early morning and always has been.

It's horrible. An odd time inside my throat gets itchy. So frustrating!

when people say 'fair enough' in a way that's just completely dismissive.

Explaining the points difference in the rugby to someone who doesn't have a clue. but who wants to watch the rugby so they can say they were watching the rugby.

Frustrating is right! I know I shouldn't, but I just want to shove something up there and have a good scratch. I'm annoyed that I keep forgetting to ask my doctor to check my ears!

Gave me a right good laugh when I realised you meant your ears

When I comment on somebody's facebook status asking a question, and several hours later they reply to someone else who's just commented, but completely ignore me.

That I had to factory reset this tablet to get it to stop being the brick it transformed into last night. Took hours to set up apps and bookmarks again, remember passwords etc. I know there are was to backup and restore such things but I am too old for all this digital technology.
And now the TV box won't accept memory sticks!

Being back the 60s! And simplicity.

When you're out with your friend, you're rearing to go and she says she's wrecked and ready to head.

there's just the two of you, and now you're home on your own on a sat night after being itching for a good night

I used to hate that when I was younger. Sadly I am now the one who is yawning at 10 and throwing shapes by 10:30.

Hate that also. Happened me once a few years ago. I was determined to keep the good night going and headed off to the night club with a bunch of people we had only just met at the bar.

TA by paper cuts on your finger.

Also TA by boxes of plasters where only about 20% of them are actually usable. All I want are the bog standard ones that you can wrap around your poor throbbing finger. Those oddly shaped ones and small circular ones can fcuk off. I don't see the point of them at all !

When you missed the last half of your favourite TV show and the only pirated steam you can find online won't allow you skip ahead to the point you need to continue the show from.

the worn out tradition of flowers and chocolates as gifts. I suppose if you like them its a win win, but it just strikes me as thoughtless in a way. ''mothers day coming up, better throw some milk tray and a bouquet with a card at her so she doesn't think I've forgotten'' its very cliché. a hand written note or something with a more personal touch is always a winner in my eyes. money cant buy that.


people robbing food you've payed for yourself. if I do a shop and stash away a few things for myself I expect them to be left there, this is why im hesitant to leave stuff in the fridge and presses in plain sight, where its open season really. a few bars of chocolate or a multipack of whatever, if I pay good money for it it's mine predominantly. I don't mind sharing, but I like to be asked ''can I have some of your X'' before handing stuff over. my brother has the right idea, stashing away boxes of microwave popcorn, pringles and muffins in his room so I knew they were his, he spent his hard earned on them and I respected that. now if he has packet of sweets lying open i'll take a small handful now and again but that's it. its just manners.

People.. 2 km from Dublin city centre.. First visit in weeks.. Folks, take the crap out your ears and stop looking at your phones..

Look around and have a bit cop on about what is going on around you..

Stop coming to a halt at the top/bottom of escalators, Stop walking out shops and then just standing there.. Some of us want to get out too..

And walk in a fecking straight line!!!

And having a leap card does not mean you can jump the Q for getting on the bus..

And gob****es who think stopping traffic is a good way of getting a point across.. NO.. you just piss us off..

Ireland's Call (a.k.a. the Shoulder Song) is annoying. No shame in not knowing the words but loads of shame in singing 'Óle, Óle, Óle, Óle' instead.

Fella in my job gets a breakfast roll, a jambon and a bottle of diet coke every morning for his breakfast. Every single day. It's vile and annoys me even though it's nothing to do with me. But the 'diet' coke just makes takes the cake, so to speak.
