Trivial things that annoy you part 8191.1

TA'd that I've only got about 2 drinks worth of rum left in the fridge.

Hey, PC World,

If you have a tablet on the shelf, tagged with a price that I'm willing to pay, please don't wait until I'm at the till with the thing in my hand before informing me that you're only selling it in a bundle with some shite anti-virus (that I spend a hell of a lot of my time removing from friends' devices) and cloud storage for €50 more than I'm willing to pay for just the tablet on its own.

If you do this, I will just leave without buying anything. Like I did earlier.

Dicks.

I want to feel Christmassy but I cant! My OH hates me, her best friend hates me. My parents are only talking to me because I'm their child and they have to. Working on Christmas eve, still not finished shopping. Couldn't be ársed finishing shopping. Exams in 3 months. I have spent the last week panicking about my lack of Christmas cheer and now I have resigned myself to the fact that it just ain't gonna happen for me this year

Is there a soup kitchen or something similar near you? To work in I mean; doing something for others is a huge cure for Christmas blues... even here I am knitting for sale etc when I can do little else,

Thanks for this. I applied online and it seems I'm eligible, just need to get my GP to sign the form and should have the card in 15 days.

He did suggest to me the last day I was there that I should apply, but I guess I've been putting it off because I just want to get back to work. That's not going to happen in the next couple of months though, and I'll definitely have a lot more GP visits before then.

Turns out it covers prescription medication too, which is great!

Heaves a sigh of relief for you. When I was new in ireland I was on UK disability and a kind lady told me re all this. You will be eligible for a lot of help. see http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/social_welfare_payments/disability_and_illness/benefits_to_people_who_are_sick_or_have_a_disability.html And yes only 2.50 per item... Please apply! Makes such a difference.

Nothing for it but to spend the day in bed. Doctor's orders.

Well, randomer off the internet's orders.

Well I have my own animal sanctuary at home that I will be looking after so that will help!

The kittens won't stay out of the bin!!!!

Also getting dressed along Fluffy takes 10 minutes longer because she jumps on anything that moves. She makes these huge lunges to grab onto whatever I'm putting on. It was funny at first but it's a pain when I'm in a rush!

My mother. Call her asking a simple question, "do you have ponstan?". Simple yes/no would suffice but oh no:

What's it for?
Who's it for?
Would Solpadeine do?
Would Anadin do?
What's in it anyway?
Can you not get it over the counter?
Would Tylex do?

Like, if you don't have it just fúcking say "no". It couldn't be simpler.

I have a 14month old "kitten" who does this. Drives me mad. Clawing at my tights. Urgh

And I have to say, also my Dad. With his interfering and ruining my plans. I want to buy the neighbours dog a leg of lamb for Christmas. I know some people will think that's a sin but I think so is consuming 6000 calories in one day with pringles and quality streets. Anyway, she's tied up all day and it will be the only cheer she gets. My dad starts then, "oh sure we've a few of them in the freezer". Great, I think. I'll fix up with him whatever it cost and it will save me the trip. Then he starts, "now, we'll shave a bit of meat off it for the dinner"... ... "And we might take some more meat off and freeze that for the dinners next week"...:(:(... "But I'll leave a bit of meat on the bone for her" - so, basically you're having a leg of lamb and you're giving the dog the bone to chew on. That's not exactly what I had in mind! :mad:

Adds "leg of lamb" to lunchtime shopping list :mad::mad:

Oh dear, I feel your pain! Fluffy is 5 months old and I really hope she doesn't do this at 14 months!

There used to be an ad on TV years ago for Anadin and it went,

"headache? Take Anadin, nothing acts faster than Anadin"

And every time, my Father would say "take nothing so, if nothing acts faster" and he proceed to break his arse laughing. Every time, every single time:D

Sitting watching my little sister cry because she was dumped by her bf of 6 years by text message and he's moved onto the next girl already. I'm not trivially annoyed, I'm fit to murder him.

As a man, I hang my head in shame that such a balless, wimpish, spinless kunt shares the same sex as me . She'll be better off without him and will have the last laugh in the long run.

Try a year old plus cat ( my latest rescue..) who wrecks rooms.. I kid not; heard a crash and he had knocked a heavy dining chair over...AGAIN.

Why oh why when I am enjoying the best cup of coffee I have had all day .. how did that FLY decide to commit suicide in it?

Senator Averil Power annoys me as she thinks it is ok to use taxpayers money to print off 73,000 calendars.

73,000 calendars that will probably end up in various bins around the country. These politicians just cant help themselves.

Just say yes to everything she offers! I could use more Tylex just now!

I've spent all day in bed watching movies and now I have to get up and go into town. Dreading it!

Which town? I just spent my lunch break trying to navigate Dublin's Henry Street. Between firemen and buggies and screaming kids... Disaster. People going insane over yule logs ffs. Did manage to find a vegan roast on the way back though

And why is there even a fly doing fly stuff at this time of the year, when it's like Siberia outside.

Huge but yet trivial decisions.

I was making tea earlier. I left the teabag in, got distracted and forgot about it for 25mins. It's still warm enough to drink but it looks like a black abyss.

That's the good stuff right there. Even if you don't smoke, have one with that brew! It's the perfect marraige.

I'm annoyed that someone in my company has given the green light for an onsite installation over the past few days and I've had to deal with the sh*t flying from it.

I am so annoyed.

Because nothing so far has annoyed me today. YET...

I could be back though.
