Made coffee, sat down at desk, phone rings and instead of grabbing it ... I had to clean up a fresh mug of coffee

TA When someone takes you up the wrong way and when you try to clarify your meaning they think you're just ''backtracking''. They've decided what you mean and they'll make anything you say fit into that.

OldNotWIse · 13-06-2017 12:35PM

The two screaming kids on a recent flight that actually made my ears bleed.

The way everyone stands like idiots for 30 minutes at the boarding gate queuing even though we all have assigned seats. I generally scorn them silently then approach the gate at the last minute and go to my pre-assigned seat. It's not a fúcking bus you know.

Last time I did this some chancer was sitting in my seat and when I told him as much he just ignored me and smirked. Fúcking tool. I called an air steward and politely told him there "seemed to be a double booking" - he took one look at yer man's pass and told him to get into his proper seat. Even more TA'ing was his numpty knackery girlfriend shouting," yeah yeah leave 'im alone he was already moving" - he was in his hole. He was sitting there with a smirk on his face ignoring me, thinking he would get away with it.

On Ryanair, they take your carry on luggage off you if you're not near the front of the queue and you have to wait for it to come out with the stowed luggage in the luggage hall. It's a pain in the hole.

TA I had to fly Ryanair last week.

TA when you walk into room and forget why you're there

Working in IT, I have a special version of this. There is a technical problem. let's call it "A". The fix is to do fix "B". But fix "B" won't work, because of another issue, "C". I find a solution to "C", but that's won't do because of another factor, "D", so I look for the answer to "D" and then realise I've forgotten what problem I started out trying to solve in the first place...

Would have chopped off my foot this morning to have been able to stay in bed with OH but alas, I'm a 9-5 desk jockey

Not if you remove the tag after you've passed the boarding gate

(you have to take the sticker off your passport/boarding pass too)

I've noticed something on a website this morning, and I hope its not a sign of things to come.

Up to now, we have had some with adverts you have to watch before you can read an article....most only last 5secs...but RTEs are 30sec and a bit of a pain to sit through.

Now I was just on the Irish Times website and reading an article. Next thing, my screen scrolls automatically to the bottom of the piece, I assume to show me an advert that was at the bottom. I couldn't move back up to continue reading. I'm guessing once the advert is finished and I feel in the mood to buy that product, it will return me to where I was on the page?

When you're driving behind a truck, and they pull in slightly to let you overtake, but don't actually leave enough room for you to overtake or even see the other side. So basically they're just straddling the left lane and the hard shoulder, leaving you in no better position to overtake. Ffs either drive on the road or pull in properly so I can actually see. Piss or get off the pot.

Another TA. People with bad breath. Hardly unusual but I can actually feel my stomach flop when someone with bad breath speaks to me. Was in a waiting room there and a man sat down beside me and spoke to me. Usually I'd chat away but once the waft of his breath hit me I couldn't muster much more than a "mhmm, yep". I must have looked so rude but I was about to gag.

When I wear my hair up it feels so annoying against the head rest in the car while driving.

When I have a few things to put in the oven and they all require different cooking temperatures.

That drives me mad too

I went to shop to get potatoes, gas and bun cases. Came back with bread, cheese, ham, lemon curd, chicken wrapped in bacon and no potatoes. F#*k

When someone asks your opinion on something over and over again in different ways because they want your opinion to match theirs... I don't agree with you, get over it.

MuffinTop86 · 13-06-2017 06:42PM

I'm not hating on cyclists but when they fly by me from behind on footpaths with helmets and reflective coats at 4pm on a sunny day I think they're fatheads.
But when they cycle on the path towards me even though there's a cycle lane that runs the full length of the road I actually want to push them off the bike.

Similarly, say you are looking at an article from the Independent and you are reading, often you come across a video ad in the middle which runs as you pass it, if I scroll pass to continue to read the article the ad finishes and disappears causing the text you are reading to shoot up the page so you have to scroll up again, bloody annoying.

My hair is quite thick and I'm prone to dandruff. If I dry it with a hairdryer it tends to make the dandruff come back quicker but letting it dry naturally takes ages.

StripedBoxers · 13-06-2017 10:26PM

When people overshare.

There are somethings you should keep to yourself.

Irish Guitarist · 13-06-2017 10:31PM

'Buy it now or best offer' from eBay sellers who have no intention of selling the item for any less than the stated price. If you make a reasonable offer they either decline without making a counter offer or even worse leave you hanging and let the offer expire.

There are times when these sellers have annoyed me so much that I've looked for the item elsewhere and actually paid more for it.

retro:electro · 13-06-2017 10:34PM

The fact that Boots are covering a Christmas song for their new ad. Whyyyyy. Leave that sh!te out

koumi · 13-06-2017 10:42PM

soap that smells like strawberry laces. Yes I did buy it.

There is a smell of mould in bed and I've washed everything and can't find the source. It's freeeeaking me out. I hate smells.

When people can't get even the most simple things right. Very TA that these eejits are getting paid to be useless.

Lack of basic manners. In my local credit union recently, the person 'helping' me kept chatting away to her co-worker, didn't even grunt at me. I felt like screaming "my money on deposit here is paying your wages".

Being so busy the entire day that my first meal of the day is at 00:30 the following day

Andrewf20 · 14-06-2017 02:03AM

Those M50 overhead electronic message boards annoy me - they are almost always either out of date with their warnings or they are experts in stating the spectacularly obvious.

Some rough examples:

"Wet / fog conditions - drive with care" - Yes I can see that it is raining / foggy. Its blantantly obvious. I will naturally drive with more care. Anyone who doesnt will probably not be convinced anyway now that its written on an electronic sign also.

"Congestion ahead, exit 10 - 7" - No need to mention this at 6pm every Monday - Friday. I think the whole world knows the M50 is a bit of a car park at that time.

"Exit 5 - 2 lanes blocked / congestion building" - Unlikely at 630am. And surprise - there was no congestion. The sign is just hours out of date.

I had a couple sitting in my seat (and the one next to it obviously), got there and said i think your in my seat to one of them. I get a "oh but we're a couple, can we not sit together". They had seats together....in the middle row....they thought they'd fancy their chances taking my emergency row seat on a flight from shaghai to paris....with my boyfriend given a seat on the opposite side of the plane fat chance I was gonna give into their lovely dovely couple act.

seems like every time I open an app/program on my Surface Pro it is looking for me to set it as a default app. P*iss off annoying me.
