Things Cat Trialvilly Annoy You (part whatever) *MOD WARNING IN OP*

We often get people ring up in work looking for recommendations for tradesmen, the amount of people who then ask you to wait while they get a pen to take down the number. (We are a builders provider)

For years, I always got dressed in our extremely untidy & junk-filled spare room as I could turn on the light, iron clothes etc.

However we finally got round to tidying it at Christmas and my eldest child has moved into it as they were tired of sharing room with sibling.

As my wife is not an early riser, I am now having to get dressed in semi-darkness in our room. Fumbling around for clothes and often picking the wrong ones. Can't wait for the mornings to get brighter.

Set your clothes out the night before.

Spent ages yes, doing the maths and racking my brains to find words to fill out a part of my project. This took a few hours and a lot of editing never mind the number of times I had to rejig the figures.
Now that I have the second part sorted, can I find the work I did yes? the hell I can,

I now have so many copies saved I'm confused and the date stamp on the memory doesn't help!!!!!!!

In the current climate having any little sniffle or cough means that you have behave as if you have the the covid.

I have a little cough for the last while (nothing major) but know if I went out and about with it eyebrows above masks will be raised.


It annoys me that I am careful and appreciative of others reactions in the current climate. Yet there are yahoos who could not give a damn and break every guideline under the sun.

At least people will respect the 2m distance around you if you cough in their vicinity. I might actually start doing this

This new person in our office, using all these "psychological power tools" to try to get her own way. When I asked her for something last week, she made a big hoo-ha about it not being reasonable etc. (even though it's her job) then left a deliberately long, awkward silence so that I'd fill in the gap. I'm more than TAd that I filled it, and offered to help even though it's not my responsibility. You know the kind, if you send an email about anything, you can set your clock that you'll get a phonecall about it and not just an email response. God damn you. Your silly tricks will not work on me again! She's obviously done some kind of how to manipulate your co-workers course

When you live in an area with crap broadband AND mobile signal. Can't even stream stuff.

I'd rather read a book than watch awful native tv offerings.

Fell asleep yesterday around 8 and woke up a few hours later, hopped straight into bed. Woke at 9 this morning and have done absolutely nothing since. Such a waste of a weekend

That's not called a waste of a weekend, that's called allowing your body to recuperate.

That my microwave's turny-knob timer is marked in 5-minute increments. I'd love to put the designer's eyeballs in it for... a few seconds.

The middle-mouse button on my desktop mouse is barely responding. Eventually it's gonna not work at all. This is the exact same thing that happened with the mouse I had beforehand, both of them lasted just over a year. The mouse I had before those two lasted me about 6 years before I gave it to my fiancée (with the previous computer) and it still fúcking works to this day.

TA that modern desktop mice are useless.

also TA that I used the word "mouse" four five times in this post and that's way too much.

Thee TAs-in-one if I mention that this is not something I want to be dealing with at this time in the morning.

Have a Lifestyle Sports gift card from xmas and emailed them if I could use it online. They said no, but if I wanted to send on photos of the card they will convert it to an online gift voucher. Grand. Do that. Get an email from them then saying "Sorry, you cant use instore gift cards online, however, you can redeem this into an online voucher by forwarding photos". Oh my days. This has happened a couple times over the last few days. Actually spelling it out to them at this stage in the email and they keep fobbing me off with info I already know.

Got myself all geared up for a lunchtime walk, shoes on, gloves and coat on, 5 steps out the door and it starts raining. Forget it so.

Oh this was me between September and Christmas before heading off to work. Be sunny all morning - or at least dry - then the moment half 2 hits, it starts pissing down, and my work is about a 20 minute cycle away.

Boss in the US sent me a One For All gift card for xmas.

Unfortunately, she got it from the UK site, not the Irish one.

Checked with One4All Customer Service, and after a week they came back and confirmed that UK cards won't work here.

The list of UK stores that accept them is pitiful to begin with, but then when you whittle it down to the ones that accept it online, and then the ones that will ship to Ireland, and then down further to the ones that will do the VAT and customs duty correctly, the card is pretty much useless.

£50 gone to waste.

I'm potentially..... POTENTIALLY trivially annoyed that your boss may have mistook Ireland as part of Britain??? :pac: Retracted if my brain is gone off on one

It's possible, but she's fairly aware of the difference between UK and Ireland (the company have offices in both, and she's been involved in the Brexit preparations) I think what happened is that she contacted someone in my office and asked what kind of vouchers were common here, and they just replied "use one4All"

In the US, if you do a search for "one4All" it brings you to one4all.com, which sells the cards in Sterling. So she just assumed that it was the one to use, as she didn't realise there was a separate Irish one too.

One of my team members is in the UK office. There's a UK "Restaurant Choice" gift card you can buy with it. I might just get them one as a thank you.

That makes sense! A lot of websites I visit have defaulted to the British site when an Irish one exists

Working from home and juggling childminding. OH locked away in his office, doing his stint at lunchtime and when his shift ends while I have to multi-task.

I feel like asking if he's happy to support me if I lose my job.

Boards is having an off day for me. Pages taking ages to load, some not loading at all.

It's one of the virtual cards, not a physical one, so it's in my Apple Pay wallet already. Not sure if I can transfer it to anyone else, but it's a good idea I'll look into it.

Constantly being knackered even though I'm getting more exercise than ever.

Pretty sure it's just general ennui, boredom and existential fatigue at this point

Bought an airfryer today, only to realise it makes a ticking noise. Very irritating!

.anon.

Right-wing attempts at parodying liberals. There's never any subtlety or imagination - no room to wonder "could this be real?" Too much focus on landing a blow, and always missing by a mile as a result.

Always thought they were unnecessary until I got one, great little thing
