Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Dial Hard

Foreign language students and their complete and utter lack of situational awareness. About 40 of them - no exaggeration - got off a bus there just as I was walking past with my dogs and they all just milled around taking up the entire footpath. Leads tangled, lost sight of one dog entirely for a moment, and literally not one of them even attempted to step aside or excuse themselves. Will yiz for the love of god employ even an atom of cop-on and get out of the fcuking way 🙄🙄🙄

How it's easier to be a drone in work rather than waste energy trying to engage with people at a higher level.

Is it exactly the same cohort I encounter down by DCU I wonder ? It’s fûcking bizarre. It’s like they’ve actually been drugged, they either just stand in your way, looking at you, or walk at you… the exact same crowd I’ve been giving out about in the shop…NO situational awareness.

The trend of boy racers with slogans in the back window of their souped up cars - some examples below:

"flat out like a badger on a bypass"

"Drive her like your late for mass"

"Wiggle your hole for a sausage roll"

"workin' the land and droppin' the hand"

"part time farmer, full time charmer"

I found two old films at home. No idea what's on them.

I could get them developed and be overjoyed or disappointed.

Can't remember the full slogan,but there was one going around that involved "creampies".

Have you seen the price of gum shields in the "border counties"?

Sitting in Dublin Airport T1 having **** all to do waiting for the 2am bus home to Waterford

I know they can't have a 24/7 bar but surly can have the Food Hall open. Insomnia and that shop on the way to arrivals is not much choice

Then seeing happy fuckers on the way to departures

Insincere adverts. No overweight people on McDonald’s adverts. Banks that “care”. Phone companies that tell me we are “together”. And women who look extremely happy during their time of the month.

Nipped down to my PIL’s mobile home out west for a nice peaceful weekend.

Fella across the site out foaming and buffing and washing his mobile, grand whatever. Apart from the fact that he also has a large petrol lawnmower he’s left idling and making a complete racket for the last 40 mins all while he’s been doing his bits. Hasn’t even touched it since starting it up. Good man, waste your petrol and annoy everyone around you for no reason.

Can never get my head around the solipsism of some people. They think themselves the main characters of the world. I can excuse that mindset in someone under the age of 10, but this lad is about 60.

No fish again in the canteen, even though they advertised it earlier in the week. 😕

And the cat is both fed and unfed. 🙃

Supermarkets that don't have 2 litre bottles of sparkling water, except in 6 packs.
You can even see where people have ripped the 6 packs open to try to buy one.

Looking at you ALDI and some Tesco branches.

Why they have an issue selling a single bottle is beyond me.
