Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

So earlier, during a 20 minute break period, I found myself bursting for the toilet. Doomsday clock at midnight job. Nearest handiest stop was a shopping centre so went there. Of course, all three cubicles were occupied but I was turtle-necking and needed to go ASAP.

Went to the disabled toilet next door knowing it'd be a quick jobbie. After taking the browns to the superbowl so to speak, I was dismayed to discover that there was no toilet roll left. But I had heard at least two people leave the mens toilet in the mean-time so made the decision to raise the trouser as high as possible over the mid-drift and scamper to an available cubicle, running the risk of encountering someone on the way. All the while wearing the work uniform.

The mortification.

Went into my favorite barber for a beard trim this morning, exceptional service as always. After finishing my beard he asked if i wanted him to shave my forehead 😲

I think that giant moon the past few nights is having some unexpected effects on me.

neighbours and their Saturday morning DIY escapades, yet again. From about 8.50 am…. The ‘decibel dîckheads’ is now their nickname.

Can’t have a tidy up / DIY time, social get together, or return from the pub without making a cacophonous, ear splitting, thunderous racket….. with these it’s always either early enough in the morning or very late at night… there are about 10/11 hours in a day where it is kinda acceptable… but you never hear a peep from them then at those times… 🤪

Try putting out a shot glass with a small amount of washing up liquid and filled up with apple cider vinegar.

"Limited edition" drinks, crisps or chocolate bars. Whats the point?

I just had a honeycomb Yorkie and it was amazing. In a small while won't be available.

I can give a few examples that I loved and would buy habitually until they were shitcanned.

watching a basketball game on TV… one of the players on the subs bench removes her jersey and just sits there in a tshirt with a slogan which is advocating a certain demographic of persons to vote.

Would you just keep your kit on ffs and keep politics out of sports. In this day and age can we just have one outlet that is sacrosanct from political, social or ideological crusading…🤪

I just oiled and seasoned a steak that was still in the plastic film 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

It's been a very long week.

Do you know the way the likes of tractors or learner drivers are banned from motorways by law? (not that it's adhered to). Well I genuinely think there should be certain sections of roads off limits to cyclists too. For example, I was travelling to Enniskerry from the Sally Gap side today and there is a windy part with walls from country estates either side that narrows the road considerably, and the amount of cyclists holding up traffic was eye opening. One or two actually hogging the middle of the road too.

Why do they always seem to target the more dangerous roads for their Tour de France pursuits?

people who just outright refuse to get rid of stuff that’s damaged, broken, or that has been victim to age & wear and tear…. Just because of sentimental reasons… In this case it’s a piece of 40 year old furniture that is no longer comfortable…Get rid, get buying a nice recliner and enjoy it. Ffs

dîckhead neighbours arrived home 2am, the usual drunk / stoned screeching and guffawing…before they get inside . 5 minutes later a lad pulls up on a bicycle, hands over a small brown bag, cash handed back….. no fûcker is delivering chips or a curry on a pushbike especially after 2am…and in this weather…I know all the local lads and they be in cars…

Reminds me of the time I put the Pizza in the oven in a hurry and forgot to remove the foam plastic base it was on.

Didn't bother me but TAed my wife something rotten.

TA bought a little crochet set to crochet a little yellow chick thinking there would be instructions inside. There are but they are not for a beginner. Lol, going to have to learn how to do all of these stitches myself 😮

Lots of videos on YouTube but be aware that American and English stitches are termed differently. Just check the origin of the pattern before you choose a tutorial. A double crochet in US is a treble in UK.

Label on plastic bottle hanging off. Wont scan to Return.

Cant find the sticky tape.

Need to buy sticky tape.

Need to refix label.

Sigh.

The Sunday evening comedown after a much needed weekend hotel stay.

why so many hyper ‘academically’ intelligent people are socially and domestically incapable and bereft of common sense.……

Earlier I’m listening to my neighbours trying to find a workaround for their banging side gate, for about the sixth time this year, solution is now “put the garden chair up against it”. The common sense thing is when you know this issue exists, they have for about a year.. go to B&Q and buy a bolt lock… costs about €10, 5 minutes it’s screwed on…. No more moving garden furniture… but they haven’t managed it, an absolute buck stupid pair of absolute turkey brains…. 😵‍💫

can have all the masters degrees but if you can’t stop a gate from banging in a gale, having had multiple attempts, you’re going to be feck all use to anyone in this life.

That advert on Radio Nova, for Radio Nova. The one with all the 'ordinary people ' talking about switching everyone else's radio to Radio Nova?

Jeeeeeesssss, wanna smash the radio when that comes on.

Cyclists who ignore the lovely new cycle lanes and still use the footpaths.

Just the complete and utter lack of self-awareness in so many people. I just walked past a group of about 15 schoolboys sitting at the tables outside a dumpling place, all eating Bambino pizza. Go and sit somewhere else, FFS.

My TA would be that they would be 100% aware but don't give a £$%^.

My Achilles is sore today from sitting awkwardly with one of my Jack Russels curled up between my legs, the pain is shooting up into my calf. And I also forgot to bring my AirPods to work also.

They rejected the lad I knew. I'm still in the mix but I've no idea what's going on. I was promised an update "by Monday". I remain un-updated.

Also, ordered two new sets of glasses. One has arrived, one has not and I've tried to ring Vision Express 4 times at various points to no avail.

Ring pulls on tins that rip off, instead of opening the tin.

I was a passenger in a car needing to do a U-turn. a perfectly legal road manoeuvre and was carried out having checked that no traffic was coming in either direction. Until the speeding prick about 20 in his father’s filthy avensis with the big smug GAA cuboid head…floors it and revs past just as we are completing process to move over into his lane… typically within about 8 seconds up with him at the lights…. He floors it again, behind him seconds later, then back with him at the next lights… same for about 1.5 kilometres 🤪
