Walking along a wide footpath and the person walking toward me with plenty of room in front of them veers toward me.

Walking along a two person wide footpath and the two people walking toward me expect me to walk out on the road so that they can continue walking together in a straight line.

There's a special place reserved in hell for those people!

Happens to me on a near daily basis :mad: soon we'll have to licence people before they can be let out loose on a footpath.

When people misspell the word "bollocks" as "bollix". I think it's a load of bollocks.

Usually i just stop and let them run into me. :pac:

Then i turn around and ask them if they can’t see and if they need any help.Everything with a polite smile of course.;)

That helps....:D

I could do that, but I'm an ignorant ****

Spanish student bowling is one of my fave hobbies of the summer, as they swarm around shop entrances and take up entire footpaths.

Deja Boo

I grabbed the laptop to prevent it from falling - must've hit some set of keys I never knew existed, and now... the blasted thing :eek: won't stop talking to me, every click I make. I didn't :eek: know the chromebook had a voice (and it's a freaky one).



Make it stop.

Running out of things like body wash and toothpaste when it’s my last week here. Suitcases will be full enough as it is trying to get everything home, and I don’t wanna buy stuff just to end up leaving it here

My MAJOR TA is boil water notices.

Starting the new year with a mouth ulcer so painful that I can't eat or drink without horrible pain.

Lack of Garda presence at night - it's a free for all out there
Driving with only one dipped headlight - it's a danger to all road users and it only costs €10 max, fitted for a replacement bulb and 5 minutes of your time
Drivers who don't turn off their high beam when they see approaching traffic. No big deal for straight roads but for small bendy roads it's a hazard

Cars that you need tools to change a bulb - don't get me started on cars where you have to remove the headlight or wheelarch liner to change a bulb! It should be a regulation that their can be changed at the roadside without tools.

I'm sore and hungover.

Happy New Year my fellow TAers, may 2019 bring you many amusing trivial annoyances

Has absolutely zero impact on my life but it annoys that the Yanks date format is mm-dd-yyyy.

Day. Month. Year. It's not hard. Do it right, ye contrary fúckers.

On my last car you needed to be able to twist your hand in at least 7 different directions to change the bloody thing :mad:


It is not difficult to design a car for easy maintenance. I would guess that they make it difficult on purpose. For example a standard service is very easy with an oil, air filter, oil filter change. I had an old Opel Astra that I could do the whole serv ice in 30 minutes. Now you need a computer to reset the service counter etc. I wouldn't even attempt to take off the oil filter in my current car. As far as I can see you need a hoist

And getting a car key copied, maybe because the microchip has failed? Needlessly complicated AND expensive AND time consuming!

Threatening texts and e-mails from SKY demanding return of their equipment which they were late in sending the packaging for and was posted the day the packaging on December 17th.

Get your house in order. Love the SKY itself but the WORSt customer service going IMO.

I've gone from a 00 Audi that took about 3 minutes to change any bulb, to a 2010 Mazda that needs to be "brought to the dealer" to change a headlight bulb, or headlight out/through wheel arch. The **** is that about.
Can't wait to to get my old 96 Honda back on the road. Acres of space in the engine bay.

I thankfully can do most work on my cars, so save a fortune on servicing etc, haven't ran into an awkward one yet thankfully. Having to remove 13sq/m of plastic covers to get at the sump plug and oil filter though, **** all that.
