Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Bullshit bureaucracy. Making an application for something today I had to provide confirmation of my PPS number and address. Grand, I thought as I recently got a letter from Revenue with both the PPSN and my address on it. Ah no! Foolish me. I was told with a straight face that separate documents were required as evidence of the PPSN and address. I give up!

An Post making you fill out a form to buy literally 20 US dollars due to "anti-money laundering" rules has to be the worst. I don't think anyone is laundering their ill-gotten millions 20 quid at a time, lads 🙄

You never know... those laundrettes usually have money changing machines and they do take a 20 note... I mean, that's how money laundering started, isn't it? 😁

Our life is so connected to our phones now, aren't they?

Perhaps it's on some sort of Google calendar? I'm not sure. Maybe you can login on a laptop?

It figures.

Pile-ons on businesses' social media. Right now there's a health insurance company (and it's actually not a company I'm a fan of at all, so I don't have a horse in this race) getting it in the neck for not covering an individual's specific cancer treatment. Firstly they can't discuss an individual customer - that would breach GDPR, secondly - his health insurance policy doesn't cover it? That's standard stuff - no wrongdoing.

I managed the social media for a company for years - it was ok at first but then became appalling. People can be such idiots, liars, bullies... and so quick to believe pure sh1t without the full story. Including people you'd expect to be sensible.

Perhaps the insurance company believes that the patient is simply “denying their biology?”

One of my neighbours has a Christmas tree with lights and sparkly ornaments in their garden.

Too soon man, too soon.

The ESB.

A gust of wind and thousands without power.

Deregos.

Toilet brushes . . I think I'll nearly have to do some sort of a practical demonstration as no one in my house seems to have a clue how to use one without leaving it all clogged up with toilet paper and shite. And It's always left to muggins here to go in and clean up the revolting mess . . ew 🫣

Online stalking. People pretending you're something you're not (and they actually sharing the same view as you) just to harangue because they've a weird fetish for targeting people online to be vitriolic towards. Although that's not very trivial.

That CGI Livia thing on The Sopranos - lame.

Yeah I love Christmas but get Halloween out of the way first.

The ESB doesn't cut the power - it's the weather, and it's far more than a gust of wind.

When you squirt a bit of liquid hand soap on to your hands to wash them. You put your hands under the running water for a second just to make them wet enough to form a lather. The entire glob of soap slides off your hands into the sink and down the drain. Bugger.

Slight medical emergency in the office last night, but nothing major, person needed to be comforted while someone else got the car to get them to casualty.

When we got the word all was well, we sat down as a group for a cuppa and time to update other colleagues(so the person in question wouldn't have to answer endless questions when back tomorrow)

A student mentioned in public how calm I was and how they couldn't have handled it as well, to be comforting I said well I had old parents and I grew up in a business where things like ppl seizing/falling/and sometimes having miscarriages wasn't that unusual(usually on bank holidays) one then said "Well that's what you get for living close to an abortion clinic" OMG I didn't realise I look like I was in my teens in 2018 when those were first allowed in Ireland.

But honestly ,it's more that a ta that a person who wants to work in the community doesn't know how to handle basic medical emergencies, doesn't know a miscarriage from an abortion or the impact of aged parents on teenagers!

Or worse, when you take the day off work for them to then not turn up because they are ''held up on another job''.

Another job that they had also booked on your supposed timeslot.

Then when trying to look through your work calendar to reschedule, they act like you're the difficult one that's dictating times 🙄

Strumms

people in jobs who change things for the sake of change especially where the change ends up being counter productive and makes things difficult for others who have to live with it.

If you’ve nothing to do that’s productive, no problem, go buy a crossword / wordsearch book, solitaire, print off reports if looking busy is a must but if it ain’t broken...leave…well…alone.
