Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

When Netflix decide to remove a show your getting through but don't really give you much of a notice when its leaving the platform so you are forced to watch said show the 'Netflix way' (binge watching) and not the traditional one/two episodes a week I prefer.

Notice its never the shite, formulaic shows that they remove too.

Going to miss the presidential election as we'll be away. I hate not being able to vote 😡

people who have a history of doing quite frankly zero for anyone else, including checking in on anyone in difficulty or otherwise…..but when life throws them a curve ball all of a sudden it’s…

How do you remove your old address from Amazon. Seems like it's impossible.

Add a fake one then delete the old one. Think you have to have more than one address before you can delete an address.

Added an address but can't remove my old one. Still set as my residential address.

No idea then. I have the option of removing any or all of my addresses under Your Account> Your Addresses. I just assumed you wouldn't get that option if there was only one address?

accounts & lists up the top right, then over on the left should be ‘your addresses-edit’.

When the expensive toilet paper isn't perforated properly and rips every time you try get some.

Contrary people who are always harping on about how it doesn't actually rain that much in Ireland. Go suck a lemon!

You might be entitled to a postal vote, have a look at the register of electors or citizens advice page. They are always handy to check things like this.

Businesses who close for their lunch hour and don't answer the phone.

Businesses who only take cash.

Each county still have their own register of electors rather than a centralised system. There's not that many of us what is the issue with centralising anything in this country.

I suspect public service resistance to change.

Not sure if this is still trivial, but I need a place to vent! Like now!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There, that's better! Basically, my washing machine went down today. Drain filter clogged, an easy enough issue to fix. If it weren't for two facts:

I'm currently shaky on my legs due to a suspected neurological issue of as yet unknown origin.
When fitting the kitchen in my place, some evolutionary cul-de-sac with a gone-off bag of Taytos for a brain decided to put skirting boards in front of the drain filter access and manual drain hose of my washer dryer! Not only that, but they did it in such a way that I had to tear out all of the skirting boards in my entire kitchen in order to get access to the drain filter as they'd decided that cutting those boards down to an appropriate length was too much of a hassle for them! I'd gladly like to hunt them down and wring their necks, but I fear that they'd have nothing in their skulls that could be damaged by lack of oxygen! Pure vacuum chambers more likely!!!

Anyway, just needed to get that off of my chest! Machine is running fine now, skirting boards are back in place and my neighbours are a) awake now, whether they want to or not and b) probably learned some new German words…

Danger. Perfumed (etc) toilet paper can cause terrible skin reactions in all the wrong places. And thick, multi ply toilet paper can block your sewage. And it's also a waste of environmental resources. And it's a waste of money.

SuperBowserWorld · 04-09-2025 02:17PM

~~That feeling when the sky goes dark and the rain hits the roof. And you're still years from retirement. Assuming you don't lose your job in the meantime. Yeah, that horrible feeling.~~ 🙄

Sorry, meant to put this into the existential crisis thread.

Tourists who block footpaths etc while trying to take pictures and selfies. Noticed it lots in London this week.

In a section of the Mater hospital this morning for an outpatient consultation. Never been to this part before and the whole part of the building is being upgraded. TH… right ? Nope , because in their infinite wisdom….

They removed all signage, 🤌🏻
feet inside the front door, there is a help desk that at 9.35am this morning, was completely unmanned. 🤌🏻

A passing employee eventually noticed my rather forlorn expression and wandering demeanour and stopped to offer directions but I ended up finding the place by accident as opposed to design, about 3 minutes before my appointment time.

Putting clothes out on the line, only for it to start lashing a short time later!

What weirdos use perfumed toilet paper? What's the purpose?

Thanks for your concern but no need to worry, we have a bidet so a minimal amount is being used. But some is still required and I'd rather it not rip every time I try to get a piece.

TA for the day - I'd rather someone not do something at all if they're gonna halfass the job and make a million mistakes that I have to fix.
