    I had another person in work make a ticket and then message me right away to fix there laptop as her screens are not working.

    Went down there and it turned out to be a simple 20 sec fix of plugging cables in ...... Facepam .......

    These are software dev opening these tickets you would think they would understand how things work !!!!! we both studied IT in college !!!!!.

    I get kind of TA'd at beards myself but I put that down to my late father - an ordinary blue collar working Joe who shaved every day 7/365 and condidered any man who didn't do the same to be the ultimate in laziness. (and it really TA'd him!)

    Old school, a shave every day and a bath once a week:)

    I'm wondering how a woman down my way was diagnosed as blind,got the white stick and dog.She's now driving a mobility scooter. Crap like that annoys me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,387 ✭✭✭eisenberg1


    The woman down the street with the very annoying, fake American accent. Her husband is American and she has visited the US maybe twice. She bangs on about vacations, and people leaving baby strollers on the goddam sidewalk.

    Jeez, enough with the sh1t already!

    The fella who gave me driving lessons before my test had a mad american accent. A really distinctive voice. When I was doing my driving test all I could hear was his voice in my head.
    "Indicate left"
    "Check mirrors".
    "Make sure it is safe" etc.

    Years later I was told that he had never left ireland in his life and was just a bit eccentric. Bless.

    Backing Dancers for singers.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,468 ✭✭✭✭OldNotWIse


    People who chew loudly. Eugh. Nobody wants to hear you masticating.

    The point is that there is an inverse relationship between the quality of the song and the number of backing dancers. :)

    I bought a box of chocolates for the office. It was a big box of Nestle. I left on the press beside our team and anyone walking past was free to have some

    Someone from another team took the box and brought way down the office to her team

    Everyone was free to take chocolates but to take the box?!? Bloody cheeky :mad:

    TA that your post didn't end with...

    "And I marched right down there and gave the bloody bitch a right good piece of my mind, educated her on proper office etiquette & took MY chocolate back to the department/floor/office for which they were bought. And oh yeah, I extracted a promise form her that she would bring in a box of chocs tomorrow and, she would offer them to my team first, to apologise for her incredible rudeness of the day before, whereby she deprived them of the life altering power and goodness of MY chocolate..."

    You meant to type that, but one of the kids had a dirty nappy, so you had to run.... right, right? RIGHT? :mad:

    I never painted my toenails and put fake tan on my feet. I came home today and realised I was going around with orange toenails. So disgusting looking.

    People walking around after work still wearing their office lanyards around their necks. I'm currently sitting on Baggot St suppressing a lot of rage right now.

    One of them just went by on a fcuking skateboard, probably has a fidget-spinner in his pocket.

    So that's what that irritating radio ad means by "printed lanyards". Last time I wore a lanyard it looked like this...

    (I'm only round the corner from you...not wearing a lanyard I hasten to add.)

    This has to be the most TA ever, but I hate when I'm mid yawn and someone cuts me off and I don't get to reach the climax of my yawn. I love a good yawn.

    Trivially VERY annoyed (as opposed to "very trivially annoyed") by the fact that even reading or thinking the word 'yawn' makes me yawn. Damn you all.

    Also, slightly TA, a fair bit impressed, but mostly embarrassed, by the fact that one of the shops assistants in a supermarket I was in over two months ago to ask for a specific type of chocolate, when I went in again today remembered both me and the specific chocolate I had asked for the last time I was there. I hadn't been in there, not even once, since March. It would appear my sweet tooth is memorable. :rolleyes::mad:

    Now I'm sitting here trying to figure out what chocolate you were looking for...I'm going to go with Tiffen.

    White chocolate with cocoa nibs. And salted dark chocolate. Fair trade one, too.

    My other BIG Annoyance - I need to do a few bits in the garden, but every time my father calls to the house and I'm not around, half of my tools go missing, and my trees start missing branches. He swears he has nothing to do with it. Sure. Coincidence. Or little green men from space.

    TA'd by the idea of my tube commute home. Westminster Bridge is cordoned off due to a major counter-terror crackdown so my district line is going to be a fupping hot sweaty angsty nightmare. :mad::mad::mad:

    TA my inability to deal with heat. I wish it didn't make me so miserable but it does. I'm so fair I cannot deal with it. So I won't wish for rain but I wish to be comfortable


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    The ''coke and hookers'' stuff on AH. I've no idea where it comes from and it's repetitive and tacky. Sometimes TA at the amount of film and tv references that go right over my head too. And the word 'Movie'.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,208 ✭✭✭Lady is a tramp


    I killed a crow today. :( Well really, my car did. Well really, the crow killed itself. I was driving along the dual carriageway (under the speed limit) and it flapped it's way up in front of my windscreen, and kind of suspended itself there midair trying to decide what direction to go, braking or swerving wasn't an option cause with cars behind me and coming in the other lane it would've caused an accident. So it hit my windscreen and bounced onto the windscreen of the oncoming car (thank god they didn't swerve either) and I reacted totally appropriately, I mean I couldn't have done anything to prevent it but the big *THUNK* of it hitting my windscreen is replaying again and again in my head. :( The guilt of it! I think s/he was a bit dazed with the heat. Hope s/he doesn't have kids. :(

    RIP crow.

    I heard an ad on the radio for a business and it left out the word 'the'.
    So it said something along the lines of 'visit our showroom at something street opposite post office'.

    Say 'the' you cnuts. You can't just say 'opposite post office', this isn't fcking emmerdale.


    Then I was in a shop and there were two youngfellas, late teens - early twenties.
    Lanky of course - thats ok.

    But one of the fckers was wearing these pinkish shorts. WTF. Pink colored shorts.

    Not even long Bermudas, no, 1970's olympics style ball-sack-peepers.
    Fcking San-Francisco gay-pride-float, lube me up sailor things, like something Elton John would pick for Dieter or Sven along with a value pack of poppers and some baby wipes.

    AND he had these long, smooth tanned legs. Like a fcking miss world contestant.
    And he's just walking round like that AND still throwin youngfella shapes with his mate.

    Thats not allowed. Either be gay or straight, but you can't go around acting like Jayo Mc'Stanley-knife while wearing the ostentatious gettup of a south american drag act.

    Equally, you cannot omit the 'on', for example if you were to say '' Greencap posted in the Trivial Things thread Thursday'' or ''The sports day will be held Monday ''
