Things That Trialvilly Annoy You.

Well if you stop at your thighs you'll be going around with a big white arse, that's why I do it. Continuity purposes. Makes it look more "natural" :pac:

It just looks stupid, I don't always do it but when I don't the sight of it ends up annoying me. It just looks ridiculous.

Well, I suppose there is a reason why they're using fake tan on their backsides... isn't that whole general area called "where the sun doesn't shine"? No sun, no tan, see? :pac::pac:

I've a couple of semi-related TAs.

Old Drivers.

I was in Nexttownover during the week when the old guy (guessing early 70s) in the entry level 5 series in front of me drove right out into a roundabout before emergency stopping when he saw the van on his right. At least the guy in the van was paying attention or else he would have been T-boned.

Further down the road someone indicated then stopped to parallel park. The old guy again reacted to this with an emergency stop and almost running into the back of him.

When we got to the next roundabout, he took the right lane. Well, I say he took the right lane - about a fifth of his car was in my lane. Which as it turns out, should have been his lane too, but it's kind of non-standard though clearly marked on the road. Anyway, there was room for me to wait beside him but I'm glad I didn't, because when he took off, he cut right across my lane before going back into his. Before exiting the roundabout he cut back into my lane without indicating.

Later I saw a woman who was probably in her mid 70s stopped in the middle of the road. It turns out she was waiting for some lady in an Almeria to leave a parking space so she could park there. Would have been a tight squeeze for her Quasqhai+2, but I didn't see what happened because when I went out of sight she was still holding up one side of Main Street.

The last lady I'm ranting about was probably in her 80s. She parallel parked a Yaris in a handicapped spot in one go. Mind you, she needed the whole width of the street to do it, almost mounted the far kerb, and never once checked her blind spots. You could have hidden a bull elephant (or a mammy with a pram) from her mirrors. Also didn't have a handicapped sticker.

I'm kind of sympathetic to old people and their car being a life saving bit of independence, but I also like not being held up and/or being in an accident because of them.

Rant two - Short drivers.

I was stuck behind a Waterford reg van the same day who was hogging the overtaking lane (do all Waterford people do that, or do I have observation bias) while some guy in a 3 series was tailgating me. He was so short the only reason his nose was over the steering wheel was because he was driving with his nose in the air. Seriously! If he checked his blind spot, how much could he actually see? The shoulder of the chair was higher than his eye line. His eye line was barely higher than the sill of the side windows. How much could he actually see? And if his airbag goes off I think he's mostly getting it in the teeth.

I think we need mandatory booster seats for short people.

Holy rip off, Batman!

I was just doing some online shopping and found what I wanted available to reserve and collect for a good price, but did some price comparison just in case. It was €400 more expensive at a leading chemist that also has an online store! FOUR HUNDRED! yellandsell.ie only had an inferior model but they were €100 more expensive.

For fairness sake I'll add that yellandsell.ie saved me €80 on my last microwave, so it's not all overpriced inferior crap that they sell, and that other site probably has good deals on other items, but it shows how important shopping around is....

I have this savage metallic taste in my mouth that I cant get rid of. The cheesecake I had earlier was wasted on me.

My first symptom of pregnancy was always a strong metallic taste in my mouth , before any other sign , should you do a test ? ;)

This morning I parked the car and walked up the town, went into Argos to buy something and realised I'd left my bank card in the car.

TA when I last post I had another TA and couldn't remember it. I looked in the mirror and remembered it only too well. Ever since I got my hair cut differently it is not sitting right on my head at all

Specks of grey are starting to show in my facial hair.

At least it gives me an excuse to stay clean shaven I suppose.

Regina Doherty.

I don't believe a word that comes out her mouth.

She gives off this vibe that if you ever had to deal with her she'd be an entitled pain in the hole.

TA the water will be turned off all day tomorrow to facilitate work on the mains up the road.

TA that I was going to clean the floors tomorrow but because of the water being cut off decided to get that job done this evening instead. And low and behold a visitor shows up unannounced and stayed til late. I've just put the steam cleaner away.

Ah well, better fill the saucepans up with water and the iron and drag my carcass off to my sleeping quarters.

TA, I feel like Cinderella.

My TA, the internet is down for some reason, which means no more Netflix on the PlayStation, and I hate watching Netflix on my phone (first world problems, I know )

TA someone showing you a 5-10 minute excruciatingly unfunny video they think is funny, watching for your reaction. cue fake snorty laugh and half smile.

Some idiot in front of me this morning driving at 30 in a 50 zone. OK fair enough it isn't a target but some of us have to get to work. He also couldn't even manage to stay in his lane, and straddled the bus lane the entire way down this particular road. Further on, he exited into the left filter lane and then put on his left indicator. Whenever we came to lights, he would come to a complete stop about 20 metres away from them and then while they were red, do that 1st gear slow creep towards them.

Everyone gives out about speed but sometimes dangerous drivers are the slow, unpredictable ones.

TA Facebook showing me pro fg adds, when I deleted it, it asked me why and the selection of answers to this doesn't even start to cover my reasons.
I would expect that that kind of feedback would be monitored and I can't give honest reason.
