Trivial things that annoy you part 8191.1

Realising quite how many men I've known who are sexist.

Also, the time when I've experienced something traumatising that means I'm freaking out when anyone's too close to me physically (as in in my personal space) or when I feel like I can't escape, co-inciding with a time when I need to get some things in the shops, but the shops are jam packed

Trying to cancel my mothers telephone service from Eir.

Call them up saying I want to cancel, they start trying to get me talking to technical people (we've been through that a few times now). The phone hasn't worked for about 5 months now.

Here is the icing on the cake.
Eir Person: Why do you want to cancel?
Me: The phone doesn't work
Eir Person: OK, are you calling me on the phone now?

It took about 45 minutes just to get the email address off them to send the cancellation letter.

'I'm happy out' is an expression that really annoys me, it seems to have replaced, among others, 'so that's alright'. I can understand it if you're happy about something, but your location -in or out or over or whatever- really doesn't make much of a difference - so, if you were stuck in the house, would you be any happier/sadder? Grrrrrrr.

I've taken issue with this before and the response was ' Oh, the English language is always evolving, what seems odd now will become accepted when enough people use the phrase '.

Nitwittery of the highest order. Which, funnily enough, is something you might expect from someone who is ' happy out '.

Took on a babysitting job as a favour to my bro. Lovely kids. All 6 of them. ALL 6 OF THEM. (I'm only related to two of them, the extra four are cousins from the OTHER side)

TA that I am running out of patience and am aware that it's my problem not theirs! In my defense I'm not a parent myself so don't have the ability to zone out from the madness. So wrecked. Considering changing the time on the clock but I'd probably be caught. Feck!

Dozol for all. Including yourself ;-)

I am forced to work with an idiot. It's not like all the other people I work with are "ok" but this one is particularly sh1t. First of all he has this particularly annoying British accent that makes him sound as if he had a stick up his arse, secondly he can't say a full sentence without making several "ahhmm...." breaks. Since he's English and ought to be able to say a full sentence without breaking paused it must be because he doesn't have a clue what he's doing. Don't even get me started on all the emails that start with "Hi sweetie", "My little snow angel" or "Hey sister".

I am waiting for the first face to face meeting to break his ginger balls (enough of a reason really)

That might very well be true, but I still deeply dislike that expression. Just like I HATE the words guesstimate/guestimate, bae, and lots more.

Those RSA ads... "We all see the road differently. Put yourself in their shoes."

They are necessary, yes. What pisses me off is the music that plays over the ad. It's incredibly cold and disturbing. Every time I sit through one of those ads, I end up with shivers running up my spine by the end of it. Not because of the content of the ad, but because the music is cold and depressing as hell, like something from a made-for-tv film about a kid with cancer or something.

Irish ads never get it quite right, IMO.

My uncle posts the stupidest stuff on Facebook all the time. Like he'll just post the results of a football game or something like that, what's the point?!

My phone is getting old and keeps losing the wifi connection these days. Using mobile data right now and I'm sitting at home.

Ugh I feel your pain.

My Dad joined Facebook a while back and of course added me as a friend.
Up until recently (I mean, up until I unfollowed him), I was being bombarded with notifications that he had changed his profile picture (one day he changed it EIGHT TIMES).

He also posts quotes ALL THE TIME and rants about politicians and to be honest, I never realised how much it would annoy me.
Hence I unfollowed him.

When it's really cold outside, and someone flicks you in the ear. Used to happen to me at school a lot.

Take it off your face, it will make you look younger.

Beards are on the way out.

Sleepover, my arse. Why do they call it a sleepover when they don't actually go to bed? They have been downstairs all night. I've three of them now in the sitting room in a heap on the sofa, and just had to remove a full bowl of cereal that was about to topple out of my one's hand. Oh, and the fun last night when they came home minus one,who I gather was out with a boy and wouldn't come home with them. She had to be swiftly retrieved, and them all ordered to stay in.

Haha... It depends on the person and the length of the beard I suppose... But eating and staying clean and hygienic does involve a LOT more effort.
I might be exaggerating about the crisp, but my wife (who hates the beard with a fiery passion) does give out about crumbs in my beard quite often.
Sticky food, like jam is particularly annoying. :pac:

I keep getting ridiculous headaches. I got one last night when I was out and I had to come home. The pain was so bad. I thought my head was about to explode. Ruined my night

That's far from trivial, Kat :eek: Please go see your GP!

KatW4, I'd tell my GP about it, if I were in your shoes... Hope you're feeling better today.

My TA for today is that I'm wearing more layers than the Earth's crust, and I'm still freezing.

Right about now it's more trivially annoying than ever that I can't grow a beard!! :eek:


To save my jammy taytos for afternoon breakfast of course!

Adverts timewasters. They seem to follow a pattern - endless questions and tyre kicking followed by an offer. Once you accept they disappear off the face of the planet and never reply to any messages.
