Trivial things that annoy you part 8191.1

Recruiters, specifically those who overuse the phrase "great opportunity".

Got a call from a company recruiter asking me to do a 30-60min technical phone interview, then a 30-60min HR phone interview, then come in to their office to do a technical test, then come back for a technical face-to-face interview, then a HR face-to-face-interview and then finally an interview with their EMEA head of development.

I said "You expect me to take time off from my current job to go through a ridiculously convoluted recruitment process for a job that isn't even match my skill set?" "Well, yes. But it's a great opportunity!"

Told her I wasn't interested, but she's still calling and emailing trying to get me interested.

Stick to the horse outside and funny captions on pictures rather than pushing your political agenda. It's the same with WWN, has an obsession over Denis O'Brien.

People who refer to themselves as "Mom' or 'Dad' in relation to a pet. It really annoys me for some reason. It's like they are trying to infantise the dog or cat. A dog or cat is not a child. They are wonderful animals who bring joy to our lives.

I think they know its not a child. It's a term of endearment so what.

Which reminds me, I get really annoyed by people who insist on telling you their kids age in weeks even when they go into years. Oh yeah he's 260 weeks now. STFU

Do it! I bought a pair a few months ago and I love them. I don't care if I look like a whore (at least they get paid - the rest of us fúckers give it away for free)

GAA scores. Just give the total number of points like everyone else, for crying out loud. You shouldn't have to do mental arithmetic to work out who won.

Urgh I used to work with someone like that. She drove me mental. I stopped going for coffee break with her because she always wound up spending most of it at the ATM and me standing beside her while she fiddled around with various accounts. What the actual fúck was she doing??

Also, dickheads who write ATM software. If you can only give out an amount that's a multiple of 50, tell me before I input how much I want. And don't even think about making me start all over again, you tool! :mad:

The accounts woman in work sent me to the bank last week to lodge a few cheques and a good few notes. I'd never used the cheque lodgement machine before and at the start I was lodging them one by one, not realising I could throw in a bunch at a time. A queue was forming behind me, I bet I was their TA of the day! :P

In the history of the internet, NO good has ever come from arguing with a stranger online. Neither party will ever back down nor admit to being wrong nor admit that they've changed their opinion as a result of the argument. It's such an entirely pointless exercise.

And a lot of them just put words in your mouth to wind you up, make you appear to say something you never actually did. It's like a form of trolling.

hehe .. from the other thread someone saying they love pressing the big silver button on the ped. crossing.

I f*cking hate it when people just press it by default even when there are no cars coming - they cross , and a load of cars have to stop for nothing after they have crossed.

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Now fair enough if you are with children and want to set an example to always cross with the green man etc.

I just got a few e-mails about hotel offers in the places I've been to most recently. I've just been there! Suggest offers to similar but different places!!

Same with ads on website. Advertising things (like albums) that I've just bought. I'VE JUST BOUGHT IT! I DON'T NEED TO BUY IT AGAIN!!!

When I'm walking, I rarely press the button whether there's traffic or not. The one occasion that I do it is when it's pouring rain and motorists are nice and warm and dry in their cars, so out of spite, I slow them down a bit by pressing the button, even if I don't have to.

I was next in the queue recently while someone did this. I think she thought she was 'beating the system', looking all pleased, 'look at me, holding up the queue'.

Second to them are the ones who, when I go to the shelf to pack, insist on squeezing into the tiny space between me and the wall, instead of attempting to use the usually, completely empty shelf, on my other side.

The fear, I call it.

I find this happens a lot with interest groups on facebook. I was on a vegan page last night and I don't know who was worse - the militant vegans or the militant anti-vegans. Vegans were shítting all over vegetarians, screeching about fur and dairy and leather etc, and you can't be a vegetarian because only veganism is "pure" etc. I'd be of the opinion that small steps are better than nothing, and if someone gives up meat but still eats dairy, I think that's a better outcome than not giving up meat at all. Everything is a matter of degree, and its up to the individual how far they take it. Don't fúckin preach to me about palm oil in my vegetarian product when I am foregoing a fillet steak on my plate. Small minded haters.

The anti vegans are even worse. They wade into a vegan page, presumably fixed with knowledge that it will be full of vegans, and proceed to post inflammatory comments about how much they love bacon and the "circle of life" and would you eat your dog if you were on a dessert island and other such whataboutery rubbish, then get offended and tell vegans to get over themselves and stop being self-righteous if they react.

Same pattern repeats on pro-life/pro-choice groups - "baby killer!!" / "misogynist!!" etc. Animal welfare - "what about the children?!!"

The whole thing is so fúcking tiresome

Tell them you know someone who would both give them a number one and a number two, and then send them to KFallon, I'm sure he'll be more than happy to oblige. :pac:

TA - I posted the following TA on the happy thread by accident and had to edit it.

One of my kids decided to leave the line he was waiting in, for the bus, and come back to the classroom to me. He didn't tell an adult, he just ran back to me. He's only 6! I don't like to think what could have happened if he decided to go anywhere else. I think these kids are trying to give me heart failure.

Since the rearrangement of the constituencies down here a couple of years back - in short, we are now in Cork North Central, an area continuously described on the wireless as "socially deprived" - I get a good few sometimes wild-eyed, occasionally bearded, men calling round offering to grind down the bones of "De Rich!!" to make them into meal for the stoutly-suffering proletariat. I usually, shall we say, point out gently to them that they're somewhat lost. :pac:
