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

That miserable Lewis Hamilton. He wins the Hungarian Grand Prix, and he wants to whine about his virtue signalling not being accommodated.

The sun is coming in the window & there is a slight shine on the left side of the TV screen, not enough to block the view, just enough to be annoying.

TA a lot of new music is really terrible and to make it worse most teens seem to have completely foresaken headphones now. They play the rubbish on their phones as loud as possible to annoy as many people as possible.


There was a young fellit walking towards me yesterday with his phone blaring, the whole time he was approaching I swore he was listening to commentary of a football match or horse race. He was actually listening to (c)rap.

Badly Drunk Boy

Okay, this is really trivial. I've worked with this lad whose full name is Vincent for about 20 years, and this morning I asked him a question that has bugged me for years.

"Do you spell you name 'Vinny' or 'Vinnie'?"

His reply was "Ah...whatever. Some people spell it one way, and others...the other"

I wanted a definitive answer!!!!

Why don’t motor insurers just give their very best

This is negotiation 101 though. Figure out where you need to land and add 50 - 100% on top of that, expect to be haggled down.

A friend of mine, many years ago, rang an insurance company to get a quote. She was told, "Our quote is x". She asked, any chance you could improve on that?", and the guy answered, "Sure, f@ck this, it's my last day!", and he reduced the premium by about €200, IIRC.

Lifehack: ask if it's anyone's last day and if so ask to be put through to them. :cool:

I'm annoyed that I'm in work.

People who send a text to tell me they have just sent me an email...

We have to e-mail clients to let them know that we have just sent them a secure e-mail. Even with that when you follow up month later half of them will claim they never received it.

Anyone work in Sales? My TA is SALES OPS. Crowd of old b@stards.

Every week there's a new "training session" and "internal meeting" to discuss some new dumb process change and the important job of trying to sell a damn thing, which is bloody hard during a pandemic, has become a million times more confusing. What price are we quoting now? How do I log in Salesforce now? What's the criteria for giving someone a free trial now? What's the proposal document I'm supposed to use now?

It's like they just sit in a room together every week and discuss how they can fcuk sh1t up for sales teams.

Same with invoices or payment demands, its a handy delaying tactic.

That said my ta is, sending two reports chock full of personal info through email(only option) and not getting a response to say it was delivered to the correct person.

I know, I know once it's the correct email, but how hard would an automated email be for emails like this.

One hand holding up the Brown bin lid,the other shaking an old bag of carrots into it 2 of which keep finding the spot in the corner of the bag that prevents them from dropping into the bin....so annoying and all I want to do is separate the plastic from the carrots.

Turns out the phone line has been disconnected at my apartment. And I thought setting up the internet would be easy. Sigh.

Probably been mentioned, but the sudden widespread use of the horrific portmanteau Staycation to describe going on your holidays in Ireland.

Everything is annoying me today!
The crap music middle aged Mrs Títs at the back of me plays while she is gardening or sunbathing.
Still irritated at my dad for constantly harping on about my couple of extra stone when I visited at the weekend. At least I cover myself up, even in the heat.
Irritated at my brother for turning on crap country and western music in my parents kitchen then walking out of the room. It would be bad enough staying and listening to it.
Finding old nasty messages my friend's husband -who is an alcoholic and a nasty one at that - sent me while drunk , and feeling angry 3 years later. I don't speak to him.anymore so I should just have deleted them, but I saved them at the time to show her.
....fúcking PEOPLE!
Also I'm working from.home (no people) but unmotivated.

That is a million times worse, and needs to be punished by death, preferably of the slow and painful variety.

Email recipient has responded, he said that her acknowledged receipt of the files on a different email account. An account that he should have known was closed to me six months ago.

It took so long to respond to, it would have bounced back to him by then, even if the reason for that wasn't in the files he was supposed to have read by the time he acknowledged. Its his job to know this kind of information.

I have a very very bad feeling about our syngery for the upcoming meetings.TA

That's probably better than the last tenant not paying their (final)bill.

Takes an age to get sorted out if there's an 'active' account

I'm off to add that as a banable offence in the charter.

Been single for a while (and not looking). Had a dream last night that I met absolute perfection in my eyes. Night out going really, really good and I wasn't drinking as I was driving. Gets a bit hazy then and all of a sudden I'm outside the pub in the middle of a crowd, she's gone, my phone is gone, my car key is gone, I don't know where I am and no money. I woke up.

That's not my TA. My TA is that I'm pining for her... wtf!!!

Edit: second TA. My car will tell me when the air in the tyres needs done, but won't tell me why the engine light is on...

Another driving one for me.

Oncoming drivers passing a bike/bikes who thinks it is OK to cross over onto my side of the road while i'm heading that way.

FFS wait behind the bikes until there is clear road before crossing onto the wrong side of the road feckin deadheads.

Maybe it's time to start looking although from what I remember of the single life you are more likely to be more attractive if you are not looking.

If a diesel, probably fuel injection system.... That was my warning was anyway.... Hopefully not as an expensive fix

It's a 2010 Merc, so probably will be expensive! I think it's something to do with either the clutch, gearbox or turbo...
