Things That Trialvilly Annoy You.

SureYWouldntYa

The guys messaging me twice a week looking for streams are starting to annoy me

Will ye either do the legal route or a more stable illegal route and stop pissing me off

Obvious Desperate Breakfasts

My mother-in-law does online surveys for two Irish opinion poll companies. She needs to take one more survey for one of them to make the €50 and they have stopped sending her surveys now. And the other owes her money for a long time and hasn’t sent it. She thinks the two are related because after she realised she probably wasn’t getting her money from one of them was around the time that the other stopped sending her surveys. They are probably oversubscribed with pensioners so can get away with shit like that and there’s basically nothing she can do about it. I’m so annoyed for her! :mad: It’s so unethical.

I started doing those surveys a while back but long since decided that they weren’t worth it and, boy, am I glad now.

One lorry overtaking another on the motorway. One going .5mph faster, taking 3 minutes to get by, leaving 50 frustrated cars behind.

That drives me potty. I’ve actually, on a number of occasions, put my arm out in front of fellow pedestrians attempting to do that at crossings where the red man is displayed. I’m fully aware that they might yell at me but I don’t care. Better that than their little one getting run over. I’ve also seen a woman yell at a bus driver who swung around a corner at the normal speed and nearly hit her buggy. She got on at the stop and got up on the sanctimony pony - “You nearly hit my CHILD! I’m a MOTHER!” kinda shite. I was thinking “You weren’t too bothered about your kid when you pushed them out onto a busy road at a corner”.

I don't do trivial annoyances.
Anything that annoys me is earth shattering and so important I need to post here about it. Then I'll forget again tomorrow.

Otherwise known as elephant racing. Seriously frustrsting to be stuck behind. And if they're on any kind of an incline, forget it.

(Also, illegal if the overtaker is a HGV and it's a two-lane motorway.)

Yeah , they do need to overtake though. Most artics aren't too bad on motorways. Though there's always one pig ,just when you need to make time .

yeah - what the hell is that about? I don't have one of those stupid card readers. AIB are always doing this kind of thing - does my head in :mad::mad:

My biggest gripe is that I rarely need to use my card reader but every time I do, the batteries are dead.
And it doesn't use ordinary batteries either, it's little camera ones that I never have in the house.

Actually I think it illegal for a lorry to drive in the right lane UNLESS they're overtaking.
I'm open to correction though

Worse when they do it 1 km before a toll bridge. So everyone ends up in the queue together *

*I have a toll pass, but it's for the m50 mostly so I'm petrified to go through the express Lane incase it doesn't work and I'm the one causing chaos!

If it doesn’t work there’s a gap to slip back into the main “toll” areas.

This annoys me so much. I turn the pram parallel to the road when waiting at lights (the main road I cross has a huge lamp post.. It mightened actually be a lamppost but it's huge about a foot infront of the traffic light. So very hard to press the button while holding a pram.) plus it's a very busy road I'm petrified the pram could roll.

I appreciate that they are cleaning up after filthy ba***rds but the council only ever seem to pick up "most" of the litter/dumped rubbish, I don't see the point of sending a team out and only picking up some of it.

When they cut the grass and there's rubbish on the field....so instead of one piece of rubbish there's hundreds of shredded pieces!

Technically it's illegal for anyone to be in the middle or right lane unless they're overtaking. HGVs aren't allowed to be in the rightmost lane on any multi-lane road at any time. So, they can overtake in the middle lane on three-lane roads but if it's a dualler/two-lane motorway, they're supposed to stay put.

People who refer to a baby as 'it', especially when baby's gender is obvious from the clothes being worn.:mad:

True. But on a 2 lane motorway they can over take ? On a 3 lane one surely you just pass on the 3rd one and pull back in when it's safe?
But you're right, it is an annoyance stuck behind them

People who eavesdrop - the conversation didn't involve you, so you can mind your own business. :mad:

The other side of this one, my mother who "talks" about me to my Dad in a loud enough voice for me to hear and then when I confront her about it, she says "ah listeners never hear good of themselves" or "that was a private conversation" - like f*ck it was, the neighbours could hear you b*tching about me! Actually just my mother in general :pac: Everything is a big drama with her. If I pull her on talking about me behind my back, it's met with "you're shouting at me, I'm sick of being treated like this" etc. In fact, last time we'd a row, she accused me of being an elder abuser because I "answered back" (I'm 36 :P). And then the age card gets pulled - "your father and I are not long for this world, we just want to enjoy our little time left" - as if people of their generation are the only ones who die. My 37 year old cousin has just died and my best friend of 36 has prostate cancer. But because they are "elderly", my parents use the age card whenever they like - they seem ok when they're flitting around Spain half the year throwing back the pitchers of chardonnay

Came across a particularly bad case of this in France once. Even when he got clear, he ramained in the outer lane for ages. When he did, eventually, pull in, he had his foot up on the window jam and was ostentatiously breaking his hole laughing at all the angry people passing.

I think I genuinely wanted to murder him.

Nope, not legally. Obviously, they do, all the time, but they're not supposed to.
