Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Living Off The Splash

Parked my car in an almost empty car park yesterday. When I came back to it, someone had parked so close to my car door that I had real difficulty trying to get in to my car. There were lots of empty spaces all around the car park. What is it with these brain dead unaware people…..they are everywhere.

That happened me too, I passed the braindead bint as I was walking back to my car. Could barely open the door and had to climb in from the passenger side. If I can, I always try cover the driver's side, park it leaving some room against a wall or in the end space, beside a disabled space or another car. The car being the last option as they can pull out and somebody else can pull in badly and block you.

One thing that puzzled me about the stupid cow who blocked me is that she had a passenger with her. It wasn't possible for the passenger to get out of such a small space, she must have let her out before she backed in right against my door which was weird because there was no car on the other side of her but she still came over my line.

A trivial annoyance from the other day: I heard my colleague talking to somebody outside the door, and when he came in I asked (nosily) who he was talking too. He said "That was Tay-Tay".

I had forgotten that Tay-Tay was one of Taylor Swift's nicknames and only knew the surname of the person my colleague was talking to. Apparently her first name is Taylor!! 🙄

Cramped restaurant seating.

When you are sitting closer to the stranger on your left or right than you are to your dining companion across the table.

One theory I have is that it is a poor driver \ someone with not great eyesight and uses a vehicle to orient themselves for parking as they can't use the lines…

This except on public transport and spaces as a woman!

What complete and utter muppet thought that putting an I as the second digit of a Medical Card # was a bright idea??? Far too easy to confuse that with a 1!!!

May their pillows always be warm and their socks always wet!

My PPS number ends with an O, not a 0. Since the rest are numbers, I just have to remember that there has to be a letter in it.

When you do a search on Amazon and you get halfway through typing the text and Amazon has filled it in for you with name of the exact item you want.

You think great they must have those.

Then you click the magnifying glass and find they don't have them at all.

I remember watching a programme a few years ago where the chap holding the microphone asked a elderly man for his thoughts on influencers. The man replied, "I don't know much about it, but I hear they're working on a vaccine." Best. Line. Ever.

All the streamers do the same thing - auto-complete the name of the film you're looking for, only to then go "No, we don't have that, but here are some 'similar' titles nobody has ever heard of or seen..."
