Things That Trialvilly Annoy You.

Widdershins

My gas oven won't light with the pilot light and both my kitchen sink taps are broken in different ways (cold taps pipe is officially diagnosed as F.U.C.k.E.d and I have a spare set of taps somewhere that I cannot find) but buggerit I have a cooker and running water ( albeit either from the hot water tank or outside tap) so it's definitely trivial. I can have a gas ignited for 3.50 by tomorrow afternoon courtesy of Tesco Ireland.

I drop my grandchild to primary school for 9.20 opening.

What gets me is the people who are always arriving as I leave, making them at least five minutes late. Sure, everyone can be late now and again, but being late by the same amount each day must send a very poor message to the children. If you can always make it five minutes late, surely you can be on time.

I considered that some may be dropping smaller children to creches and cannot get there sooner. Also thought I was only one who noticed, but it was commented on by several people this morning.

Christmas. Can someone just wake me up when it’s all over please. Or better yet, someone invent glasses that filter out all things Christmas. Not being a Scrooge, I usually don’t mind it and don’t begrudge anyone’s enjoyment of it. I just can’t this year.

The problem with adopting an old dog is that you wind up buying things like doggy steps so he can get on the sofa, and then he gets on the sofa and sits in your spot, when you really want to sit in your spot. I guess it's his spot now.

TA there's an old doggy taking up half the sofa and I'm sitting on the floor.

I'm in a minority among my friends in that I've never been a fan of Christmas. Not since Santa stopped visiting anyway (should probably behave myself a bit more during the year). Its better in recent years in that I can have a bit of craic with the nieces and nephews, but in general, its a dark and depressing time of year, and a ton of hassle.

Could you get him a new bed and put it on the floor with something that smells like you? Get him used to that and take away the steps. Everyone's happy.

Ah no need to apologise, just a bit of an annoyance

He's now on the floor with something that smells like me. It's me. :P

We're just too soft with him, he's had a rough ride in life and he's terrified of loud voices or even just strict commands so finding the happy medium is taking a while. It's early days still

Walking along corridor at work and just room for two people to pass and the people coming to meet you just keep walking shoulder to shoulder. I used to turn sideways and basically hug the wall so there is no collision but now I make sure to hold my space and drop the shoulder if they refuse to move in.

Think it's an ego thing that one of them doesn't want to be the one to walk behind , or they are totally oblivious to other people

Love this . Ur a legend

Aw the poor little pet. You did a lovely thing in taking him, it makes me so happy to hear of these mistreated dogs now being spoiled.

People who add "-ster: to the end of my shortened name. Not only is it deeply irritating, they've just lengthened my name for short, longer than my full name?! Eejit.
Generally people choosing what to call you and disregarding what they've been told you're ok with them calling you.

Where do all the teaspoons in my house go to? I will have to do a tour around to gather them up (hopefully)
TA - people who can’t put their teaspoons in the sink

Me too. People who rescue dogs, especially the ones who don't have great prospects are my heroes! Puppies are cute, but it takes a long time to make a soul as sweet as an old dog's. Every ounce of love and kindness he gets now is offsetting his sad past

I'm in on the Christmas misery too. Have had a really tough year family wise - realising that people are not who I thought they were, family siding with abuser and expecting me to keep hush about it all... I am just not in the mood for faux happy families and merriment. It all feels so fake now. I'm also growing a human so won't be able to drink :mad::mad: Will just compensate with food! :P

TA it has become Christmas overnight. The last Halloween firework hadn't even gone off and the decorations were up. Saw a good one yesterday, "to all those people putting their decorations up early, relax - Mary hasn't even told Joseph she's pregnant yet" :)

They are just aimlessly spending money digging up roads so they blow their budget and can put in for the same amount next year. Our road is in shít, massive TA of mine right now - the incessant rain into potholes does not help!

The Unspeakable Horror of wondering if your extra long plait really did just swoop into and smack off the hair removal cream under your arm. Should I douse the whole thing in the shower and then spend ages blow dryng it again or just trust to providence that it was paranoia? Nothing's fallen off yet.

Understand that I would never normally speak of such things but it's my fu**ing hair were talking about here.

It would only be effective at the roots anyway. It doesn't actually dissolve hair, just the follicles I think.

TA feeling hungry and it's not even midday yet.
