Things dat Trivyully Annoy You (part whatever) *MOD WARNING IN OP* NEW

Gremlinertia

The hamsters get annoyed when we get to 10,000 posts, that's my TA

Mod:

Hi gang,

Please note it would not be a wise course of action for us to start commenting on others TAs as TA.

It discourages contribution and makes a very enjoyable thread adversarial.

As I have said before in a mod note on this thread, each person's TA is their own. I would hate to see posters discussing others for posting in this thread: intentionally or otherwise. It will kill the thread in the long run.

All the typing and editing has brought on a bout of tendonitis in my right wrist and elbow, sore af!
Ta, I still have about a million words to type and edit before Sunday week.

Got a cracked windscreen while driving my dad to a hospital appointment today, from a truck flicking a stone up.
While i was sitting there quietly annoyed, he kept saying "its a chip" like in the ad with the Nordy bloke and thinking it was hilarious.

Ordered a new phone, and it's due to arrive today.

Got a text this morning telling me it's on its way. It's nearly 2pm and still hasn't came. I'm leaving for work at about 2.20pm, and I just know for a fact the postie is gonna get to my house, like, 10 minutes after I've gone, just to slip a "you weren't home" notice through the door.

What I hate is Amazon's preset options when you want to give them alternative delivery instructions. You can't write your own. You HAVE to pick an option;

None
Enclosed Front Porch
Rear Porch
Garage
Greenhouse
Shed
Building Receptionist / Caretaker
Mailroom or Property Staff

What kind of fancy house do you think I live in???

People who post pictures of their little angles (toddlers) covered in food and thinking it's cute or something. It's not. It's horrible. I don't want to see your food covered smell machine. It's disgusting. Don't understand it at all. Nobody wants to see my with my beard covered in spaghetti and tomato sauce, the same applies to your kids! Up there with people who post naked picture of their angles.

People can be fierce strange. That's my TA ta.

I’ve a dental appointment this morning, scheduled, to just check a recent implant but having got the implant in just a few weeks ago I ended up in a car accident over the weekend... my head / face didn’t impact anything but I was jolted forward and there has been minor pain / discomfort around the implant site... all be it slightly getting less painful.. which is hopefully a good sign..

If I need the dentist to start the surgery again to correct a problem I’ll not be amused.

The accident was caused by a ‘professional’ driver in the lane adjacent, who was on his way home but on getting a call from a private customer, attempted to do a quick and careless three point turn in the middle of three lanes of traffic and reversed into our one week old brand new car.

I don’t have patience for people anymore. Too many useless dickheads out there, seriously.

TA there's a thing on rte news about an Indian train station worker who saved a child who had fallen onto the tracks. Which is great, but no matter how many times I watch the video, it really looks like the adult who was with the child was pretending to try to save him/ her but quite obviously moving further away? Is it just me?

Unbelievable. I'd to tell mine last week that if they went ahead with plans to meet relatives then me, OH and their grandchild would be isolating from them for two weeks..OH also asthmatic and I'd explained my concerns about the covid / stillbirth risk. Still resulted in a row. They just thought ah sure we're alright Jack we got our vaccines

Ah. I feel really bad now, didn't realise although, it's been updated since I read it so that's probably why. Happy ending at least.

I got a taxi to my doctor this morning because I was running behind schedule and didn't want to be late for my appointment. I arrived on time but the doctor didn't see me until 40 minutes after my appointment time. I should have known better. Why are so many doctor's offices so poor at time management.

For some reason there's a cafe near my apartment that's fully open. You can sit down at
a table like normal times. I was there last weekend. The food was disgusting but i can give you the name if you fancy an overpriced horrible lunch

That the ignore feature doesn't work on the touch site. I have only 1 person on the site on ignore and had the misfortune to have him posting in a thread that I am currently interested in.

At the moment I am a part time cleaner for two primary schools. I cycle 20 mins to one, work there for 2 hours, then cycle 15 mins to the next one, work there for 3 hours, then cycle 5 mins home.

Yesterday my boss gave me a new schedule, to do the latter school for the full 5 hours as the coworker I worked with in there was being relocated, leaving the extra two hours open, and it would be handy for me as it's only a 5 minute cycle to and from.

I was delighted, knowing I wouldn't be half dead by the time I arrived and could actually pick up more pace much quicker (I'm not very fit), I had an extra 20 minutes of free time before I'd leave, and I could start doing the new times that same day.

Wellll sh*t. TA incoming. No more than an hour into my new shift, my boss dropped by to tell me the plan has been cancelled and I'm back on the two schools. She was very apologetic so I can't fault her as it was out of her control, but man, I got a taste of it last night and I loved it. I hope it gets sorted out sooner than later.

TA that I had a better work schedule for one day before getting switched back to my original schedule.

Sinusitis. It's such a pain in the nostrich. Ugh

Celebs on social media junping aboard the George Floyd bandwagon again after the guilty verdict last night.

Oh please. Most of them couldn't care less, and if they were there at the scene on the day in question (they wouldn't have because it was in a predominatedly black neighbourhood), they wouldn't have batted an eyelid.

Although I think Irish people celebrating the verdict may actually be worse.

In an effort to see if the suicide awareness training we all did had stuck, we all got a communication from a challenged colleague who used the phrases which we were told to look out for in communications with at-risk or stressed clients.

Not a single response to the messages.

So much for help is out there and just talk to someone!

I don't believe people when they say they have empathy for someone who they don't know, usually in a different country, and have nothing to do with them. Sympathy, yeah, I can see how people would have that, but empathy is thrown around willy nilly these days and not a hope everyone who says it can genuinely feel empathy for people they don't know.

"The ability to understand and share the feelings of others". I don't think anyone here has been held on the ground, arrested, with a cops knee on their neck for 9 minutes, so I find it hard to believe people can really understand and share that feeling.

It's another thing that TA's me, people believing they feel empathy when it's in fact sympathy and they completely forget about it as soon as they scroll past the article or find something better to be doing. Just an opinion!

Of course you can feel empathy for someone you don't know. Why wouldn't you be able to??

Potential-Monke

It's more the definition. I can't genuinely feel empathy for a lot of people because I can't understand how they feel due to not experiencing the same event. I could possibly feel empathy for people who say they suffer from anxiety (because I have anxiety myself), but I usually don't because I have a very low view of humanity in general and I don't expect anyone else to understand or care about my personal issues. And I've even less chance of feeling empathy if I don't know them, because I don't know them so how can I feel empathy for them?

Similarly, I feel very little to no empathy for anyone who is rich. They have the best opportunity to get genuine help for their problems, something a lot of us don't/can't afford.

Edited to add: I've no doubt people believe they feel empathy, but I don't believe it's genuine.

A somewhat related TA I have is when voyeurism is masqueraded as sympathy. You see it when people discuss horrible tragedies. All this "tut, terrible for the family" etc. But secretly they are probably lapping up the salacious or sordid details.

The length of time an mandm direct return is taking. I mean jaysus.

Potential-Monke

Exactly. It all ties back to the same for me, faux empathy, bandwagonning and complete nosiness. The vast majority of these people, especially those on social media, actually don't care, but want to be seen to care.

I'm not sure if there's a word for this but it drives me crrrRAZY!!

I'll say something arbitrary or mudane in passing to my sister and she will then take 10 minutes explaining to me why it's not a good idea or why it wouldn't work which is exactly my point to begin with.

I was saying this morning how much I miss travelling and how I'd love to go to Bali or Fiji for a holiday soon but being pregnant, that obviously can't happen but it's nice to daydream.
She then left me a 9 minute voicemail on whatsapp saying how everybody hates babies on airplanes and how I'd need to breastfeed and change nappies and how much of a logistical nightmare it would be. She went on to regale me with stories of friends bringing babies on holidays and how it ruins it for the entire group and that I should just forget about it for the next few years.
🀬😡🀬
I know all of that, hence why i wont be doing it. The clue was in the word daydreaming.

She does it about food too or movies or anything. I'll say I'm not a fan of Tarantino these days but he made some crackers back in the day and she'll list all the reasons how nowadays he's lost his touch and i should really appreciate his earlier work more yada yada yada.

God give me strenght, it makes me wanna rip my ear off and post it to her in Germany with a note saying listen to yourself woman!!

EmmetSpiceland

No offence, but your sister sounds like a neckbeard geek.
