Things That Trivially Annoy You.

gifted

Parents who get invited to a communion get together, they send their kids but they go to the pub for 4 hours and then turn up for a half an hour half steamed

Since we're on shops:

1) People who seem surprised by the concept of having to hand over money after all their items have been scanned and then have to go excavating in a bag for money.

2) The people in front of you who stand there while all their items have moved along 10 feet towards the cashier.

3) The clueless thicks using the self-service checkout when they haven't a notion and need the supermarket equivalent of an SNA to help them with every. Single. Item.

4) Just because little Fiachra wants to scan the items through doesny make it ok to hold everyone else up.

5) When your items have been scanned, pack them. Don't just watch the cashier scan them and then pack at the end.

There's more but that has been cathartic. I'll head over to the trivially happy thread now to commend this thread.

Dublin airport security. Bloody mayhem, even the staff are stressed calling out instructions to the sheep!

I'm heading to Brussels for work. The office booked the flight for me and I misread the booking ... thought I had a checked bag so I brought a large suitcase 'cos I've got a suit and stuff in it... Got to the airport and just forked out 40 quid to check it in....and another 40 for the return leg!!!
I doubt I can claim it on my expenses either, it's my own stupid fault

I'd say Communion parties in general!

Bent my nail back today, can't find my superglue to stick it back.

My phone randomly changed the way boards displays recently. I like it but I don't know how to post pictures anymore... And I just gave the pony a bath so obviously wanted to show her off!! :pac:

Aisle seats on planes. Not much better than the middle seat but at least in the middle seat you don't have to suffer people's smelly arses in your face or get bopped on the head with their shoulder bags ...

A TA is posting on a thread which then dies, not because of me hopefully but sometimes I do want answers or a follow up

Getting your renewal quote for car insurance. Look around, nothing is cheaper anywhere.
Husband tries a new quote with the same insurer I'm currently with and it's 300 quid cheaper than my renewal.
Oh lord, they won't have a good time on the phone tomorrow.

I have this coffee machine that sounds off like a siren when it's done brewing, I could do without that fire alarm in the morning (and before I've had me coffee!)

I have my alarm clock set to the sound of birdsong. This is fine in winter but now the actual birds songs are waking me up at 5am. Have to change it back to the siren.

People who put a reply to a thread within the quoted text box.

People who come to work smelling of piss. Why do people do this? Are they unaware? I'd expect it from primary school children with neglectful parents but an adult?

dubstarr

Men [and its mostly men]who stand beside the coffee machine in a shop and put sugar,milk in.While its still at the machine.Move off and do it on the little counter like a normal person.

Women who, when met with the unexpected need to pay after placing their items on the conveyor belt, then search for their purse in their handbag. Open said purse and search for nonexistent vouchers, then finally produce a card. After paying they put the card back and the receipt in the correct part of the purse. Then put their purse back in their handbag and then proceed to pack their few items while having a good chat.

Women who put on their jacket and scarf for the extremely short walk to the car and then take it off before getting in. WHY!!!???

This is why I love aldi and Lidl as they have no space for people to let grocery's pile up. Not packing quick enough! It will be just shoved off the end into your trolley!


Think Dunne's is the worst for it. There's always long ques at the checkouts. Oul one's who'll let the shopping pile up while chatting away to the cashier. And will still have the whole lot to pack after paying. And even after all that they'll stay yapping away even though there could be 3 or 4 customers waiting. Work gave their vouchers as the Christmas bonus a few years though so have had to endure it!

I grew up in a shop so I'm pretty fast packing bags, in those day's though for big shops we'd pack them in boxes. Have everything organised on the conveyor when I put them up, chilled food altogether, heavier items on the belt first to go in the bottom of my bags. Bags all standing in trolley ready to go. I'll usually be finished packing before the cashier has asked for payment.

I would disagree about Lidl, the amount of people in my local Lidl who just stand there watching their shopping getting scanned then piling up is beyond the ridiculous even the cashiers get pissed and try give subtle hits to them to start packing
