Things That Trivially Annoy You.

Job rejections after interviews

Sometimes I get no reply and sometimes I get the “you did a strong interview and they enjoyed meeting you bla bla now PFO”

Nobody ever said to me you did a terrible interview and we will never hire you. No instead they praise me and then reject me

I’d prefer if they were brutally honest so I can learn and improve

Count Down

The phrase 'World Class' especially in relation to sport. What does it actually mean?

Forgetting to press play so you've been sitting there with headphones on for about 36 hours with nothing playing.

Got attacked by a shark in the middle of the night. So the ice cream and Easter egg buying has been rationalised.

I must be due a shark attack with the amount of ice cream I eat.

Or you're recreating the Titanic and you're eating the iceberg?

Was feeling very relaxed in public. Naturally too relaxed because I managed to miss my mouth and pour coke all over myself

Are sharks attracted to ice cream?

This one may sound frightfully pretentious, but here goes anyway. I've been trying to learn more about Classical music, since I thought I ought to, and so far I like some of it. However, I've found that Classical music concerts (live or on TV) are heavily biased towards the newer eras of Classical music: the Romantic and Modern Eras.

It's really hard to find anything older than the middle of Beethoven's career. It's generally accepted that his 3rd Symphony was where the Romantic Era kicked off. His very good 1st and 2nd Symphonies hardly ever get a look in, never mind composers who came earlier such as Mozart. As for the Baroque Era, Bach's greatest hits get the occasional outing, but that's about it. It seems to me that Romantic and later composers are great at impressionism, conjuring up atmospheres and feelings, but most of the time they forgot to bring the tunes. :cool:

Dozing off during meetings- the room is too warm

Going back to the fridge to collect and devour my nice cold Twix, only to find some hungry **** ate one of the sticks..

The company who told me they could do what was needed now say they cant and deny the first convo.
Two days to its deadline and a 30 min job is now in question and reflects badly on me.

Sitting on the phone and email to see if the alternative will work, tho I expect that it too will be a s(*&show.

Why they didn't just say so at first and ta, its the only place that does this kind of thing.

I want to go hhhooommee.

Dial Hard

Was working from home today and the post arrived. Dog went mental at the door for a few minutes, then came trotting in with the post in her mouth. I'm like "Oh wow, she's bringing me the post!" Until she sailed past me and onto the couch where she proceeded to shred it. I had to wrestle it off her :mad:

Winter is still here but the daffodils in the garden have blossomed. Confused nature.

Surreptitious

People texting me 'hows you?'. And 'your' instead of 'you're' and constant typos. If you can't speak proper English keep away from me. Fcking airheads.

Just heard some Loike OMG D4 radio presenter girl refer to avocados as "essential avos".

That's my day ruined already.

Resealable packs that you can barely open - ones you'd need to harness to something to get at the product! And when there is a bit of give in the package, it rips opens in such a way its never gonna close properly.

How about the hard plastic packaging that a new pair of scissors arrives in? You need a scissors to open it like...

I think I posted it at the time but was watching some cooking programme and the plonker chef was preparing mushies and avos !! Couldn't find the remote quick enough
( in case of any confusion the mushies were in fact mushrooms )

I saw one of these in a bedroom once: "This is where the magic happens".

I almost hurled. :eek:
