    Totally agree. It's frustrating when one's carefully chosen vintage fails to complement the dish it's supposed to be a perfect match for.

    ^^^
    That's why they used to teach you to cover your mouth and nose before sneezing, they knew that ^^^ could happen. :D

    One trivial thing that annoys me is lack of personal space. When people are just behind you in a queue , breathing into your neck, even though they could give much more space.

    Bloggers/people on Snapchat posting videos of their night out.
    Video after video after video of them or their friends dancing or singing or just being loud...do they think we want to see this?

    called Chinese to place order. Was told to collect it in 40 mins. I arrived 38 mins after all ended and am still waiting (14 minutes). I'm not happy. I'd nearly cut my nose off to spite my face, tell them to keep it and go wait another 40 mins elsewhere. Why can't people say the time and mean it
    Waiting the guts of an hour for a delivery would be annoying enough but for a collection???? That's insane.

    4. Videos that have obnoxious, unnecessary, head-melting background music - thank God for the mute button.
    I love watching animal videos but most of the compilation ones are ruined with stupid music in the background. I want to see and hear the animals, not some ridiculous piano piece. Tiger Productions are the worst for this. They have the best videos but I can't watch them because of the annoying music :mad:

    I"m very TA'ed that in order to get to this thread (the funniest on boards, which I save for last viewing), I find myself first reading other threads and I end up pished off by the time I get here.

    I'd like to see all of the boards forums shut down with only 2 threads open; this one, and to balance things out - the Trivial Things that you make you happy thread.

    Then everything will be right in the world.

    I have one coffee a week, of the milky kind. Bought a cappuccino and couldn't finish the last sup (the best bit) because I am getting my hair done and couldn't tilt my head back far enough.

    Total first world problem right there.

    Those stupid big baskets in Lidl. If I want that much I'll use a small trolley. If I'm only getting a few items then I'd like a normal-sized basket. For crying out loud.

    And their actual small trollies are crap too.

    They are narrow and deep. Instead of the wide shallow ones others have. The first thing you put in them is fruit and veg so it all ends up under the heavier stuff.

    People who don't have indoor voices.

    There's an awfully awfully here beside me who thinks the whole world wants to hear her conversation.

    My god I'm a cranky cow today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,710 ✭✭✭the_pen_turner


    people that want to have a private conversation in public. either on phone or 2 idiots
    this happened 3 times last week , usually in shops
    they look at you like you are eves dropping. of course I'm not your in my way . now f off out of the way. if you want a private conversation leave the shop or do it at home
    the bad attitude they have is frightening.

    I am bet into jeans today that are at least a size too small for me and I can feel my circulation being cut off by the second. I just went into a cubicle there and undid them and just sat for a few minutes to breathe, it was nice.
    TA'd that I might not last the day

    TA - waking up beside someone you forgot was in the bed and nearly dying of the fright when you open your eyes before you're properly awake

    The "Man" on a beach early this morning, who shouted abuse at my on his lead elderly German Shepard.
    This "Man's" own small dogs running around uncontrolled and far away from us all.

    I only found this recently too! The thing that traces your steps had me both in awe and slightly concerned that I was a lazier turd than I had thought.

    I drove home from my sister's today leaving my glasses behind as I was wearing my prescription sunglasses. I had to drive back the half hour round trip to get them else not be able to read etc later. I love a man on a fast bike but not when they hurtle past me and throw a stone up on my windscreen chipping it. Talk about adding insult to injury on the trip :(

    It bothers me that yellow sweets are almost always the nicest ones - but that Fruit Gums are my favourite sweets, and the yellow ones are ick!

    The 4 children at the table next to me at dinner. Up and down every 2 fucking minutes to walk around the table and say something to one parent or the other, bumping off my table, bumping off me, getting in the way of the waiting staff, being so fucking loud, as if I want to hear about their fucking summer camp adventures, shut the fuck up and go home to bed!!! The parents said nothing to them about sitting down and having some manners in public and neither did the staff in the restaurant :confused:
    And then at one point, one of the children just sat there staring at me, so odd.

    You cannot go anywhere anymore without having to put up with someone else's child wrecking your head.

    And also, 4 children?! the world is overpopulated enough as it is!
    And children's allowance for 4 children?!





    Anyway, Monday tomorrow, always a great day.
