Not The Annoyingly Trivial Things-Bitches be cray cray week.

Ol' Donie · 30-06-2017 09:23PM

Was in Lidl a few weeks back.

Maybe seven people in the queue. I was maybe fourth, not quite at the belt thing, still had whatever few bits in my hands.

Announcement comes in that the next till over is opening.

"F*ck it, come on" the woman who was at the back of the queue calls to her daughter as she legs it to get there first.

Two incredibly trivial things that annoy me out of all proportion

1) People who say "PIN Number". The "N" stands for "number" for the love of God

2) "Quad bike". Essentially saying four wheeled two wheeled thing. Do they also say "trike bike"?

AARGH!

Ah c'mon on You never ever did this?

There is a huge art to it too. You have to time your approach to the 1st till with precision. Delay too long you hold the queue up and no one can risk that in Lidl. Go to fast and you are are committed

Every fecking website I visit these days has a pop-up about cookies, then a pop-up about an ad blocker, then a pop-up to get you on their mailing list, then a pop-up from Chrome saying the site wants to harass you with notifications forever, its driving me insane!

On a related note, trying to read a newspaper website on mobile these days, massive banner that follows you as you scroll down on top, massive ad on the bottom that follows you aswell, so they expect you to read the article through a letterbox sized slit and forget about looking at any images?

Shouted "F*ck it" to a child in a supermarket?

That was really the bit that stood out.

Singers/bands announcing they're doing a "UK and Europe" tour.
The UK IS in Europe! Stop treating it likes a separate continent or somehow worthy of special status compared to the rest if Europe. >__<;

This drives me mad anytime I go in to do a huge shop, I always let people go in front of me but where do you draw the line? While I'm loading the belt whoever likes can go ahead of me but I'm not gonna keep letting people in front of me when I've already let three people, I plan on getting out of there as fast as I can.

My TA is getting roasted by the trolley in dunnes last night, it kept happening and got so bad at one stage I felt like kicking the trolley the whole way to the exit and walking out. It only ever happens inside dunnes too.

Do you mean shocks from the trolley Lexie?if so this only happens to me in Dunnes also and I have walked out and left the trolley half full of groceries.I had a toddler sitting in it and he was crying because we kept getting shocks from each other,I struggled to lift him out because of it and the manager wasn't very interested when I went on a rant.

Make sure that your trolley has a chain under it that trails on the ground ( some don't ) and I have to pull my sleeve down over my hand before I open the freezer doors ...it's very fecking annoying.

I'm going to my ex's housewarming party this evening, feeling under pressure to look good

Rogueish · 01-07-2017 10:44AM

I left the house this morning in a rush and left behind the coffee I had made. :sad:

It was a really nice coffee too.

Good luck, knock 'em dead, no matter what you wear. I went to my ex's parents 50th wedding anniversary, dressed and dated to kill. Forgot all about that when I saw how miserable he was and what wagons his sisters' were. When I didn't have to be nice to them true colours and all that.

Ta'ed, put a sneaky heavy wash on, its clouded over now and prob will not dry on the line as planned, too far into the wash to open and bring to launderette.
* Having cut my hair, plucked my eyebrows, exfoliated/shaved to within an inch, packed for the trip, I cant decide if I'll pack the controversial lingerie or save it till when we've not seen each other for months.
*The innocent look I got from boysib when I said you left at **am, you knew dog taxi arriving at **.05, why didn't you wait the five minutes, instead of getting me out of bed for the handover an hour after I got in?
*The way elderly neighbour tells me constantly how wonderful boysib is, street angel and all that.
* Tarot reader/Psychic we went to a few months ago, told me something about July, but I can't remember what it was.

Lol this is me too. I've about twenty pairs of nude shoes, all very similar- but I'm still on the hunt for the perfect nude shoe.

Not common knowledge yet, but the R & D dept of a major German shoe manufacturer has successfully developed a shoe (and boot) which is called "The Chameleon" . The colour will automatically change to match your outfit (it also has a manual override) and will work in any texture...leather, suede etc. It will also have interchangeable heels....block, stiletto in varying heights. Theyexpect to have it in Shops early 2018.

You are welcome.

My TA...."best of" The Late Late Show!

Was that the show where Finbar Furey sang with Christy Dignam that was on last week..I thought that song was sad but lovely..

TA when you feel rough and look rougher,I'd prefer if it was the opposite way around.

Winterlong · 01-07-2017 12:36PM

Queue jumpers. If there is one thing that would tip me over the edge it is queue jumpers.
I am one of those that call them out on it. Yerman this morning tried to ignore me, then played dumb...but thankfully the woman behind the counter then told him to get in line or get out.

If I only have a few items I don't ask anymore if I can go ahead. If the person in front of me with the big trolley asks if I want to go ahead then I will. That persons time is as valuable as mine and they got to the till first. Likewise if I have a full trolley and the person behind me only has a few things I will ask them if they want to go ahead of me but that's that.

Ta that I put a piece of bacon in the slow cooker this morning but I set the switch to warm instead of low by mistake and it's not cooked!

You turn on the radio, the ads are on. It's some stupid firm trying to sell you something, these ads are usually tilted at families, but they have decided to get a kid to say something in the radio ad...

The kid starts speaking and you hear this sap of a kid on the radio, with some ridiculously put on, stuck up, D4 snotbag accent, where do they find these fúcking kids?!?!? Do they search Dublin for the kid with the most annoying and disturbed accent that can possibly be found in Dublin?!?!?!?

Kathyrn Thomas- not content with being the golden girl of RTE with jobs for life with all her presenting gigs, not to mention being on radio, she now is playing the sympathy card about her body. And I wouldn't even mind only she has a great figure and clearly has no weight issues, but here she is on the paper today saying "Ooh, I don't care what people say about my body, its how I feel that's important. I just need to exercise more". Kathyrn- nobody (and I mean NOBODY) cares about your body or how much you exercise. They are too busy with their own lives.
And she a presenter of Operation Transformation, she should know better than be harping on about her perfect body. I used to think she was a laid bak down to earth girl. Seems shes just as fame-obsessed and vacuous as the rest of the so called celebrities. Shame.

Only 2 weeks ago she was spitting nails at everyone via her favourite publicity rag the Indo, at anyone who asked her about starting a family. She comes across as bitter and left on the shelf, I can't remember the last time a month passed when she wasn't being interviewed for the Indo about some aspect of her personal life, whether it be her getting married or starting a family. People who have happy relationships tend to not have to bang on about it and their shyte every fortnight in a national newspaper. She seems deeply unhappy from where I'm standing.

Till workers who can't do a bit of mental arithmetic.

Got a few bits in Dunnes, bill came to 6.42. Didn't want a fist full of change so handed in a 10.50. The look of confusion on her head with the 50c piece.

OMG it's like you are reading my mind! :eek: :pac:

I came onto this thread to have a rant about this one ad from Curry's that has this really annoying kid and they pronounce it like "Curly's PC World". They've changed their ad but kept the annoying kid and I swear if I didn't need them, I'd cut off my ears. No other ad winds me up as much as that one. Normally I don't mind kids but this one sends me into rage mode :mad:

I was in aldi today.
I had a cardboard box full of stuff. maybe 20 25 items. I'm third in line, woman being served, woman with 10 items , then me.
woman behind has trolley full. girl comes up to the end behind the trolley. that woman says go ahead because she only had a few items.

girl walks right past trolley woman ,me and woman in front of me . I was in shock a bit . luckily the woman in front was fast enough to put her in her place so I didn't loose out ( not a major loss either way) . but the audacity of her to saunter past up to the top of the queue

madmaggie · 01-07-2017 11:31PM

There's a wee dinner plate roundabout in the local town, but the markings have worn off the road. Locals know it's there, but others don't realise, and think it's a junction. Cue much annoyance.

the14thwarrior · 01-07-2017 11:40PM

what really annoys me is when someone in the office emails everyone to ask or arrange something. there then begins the emails....... the silly people that hit "reply to all" to say "thats a great idea". and then the person that instigated the email replies to all with "ok thanks" and then the next round of emails begin.... where do we meet........ what time.... and the whole process begins again.

Chants to the tune of Seventh Nation Army. About as original as sliced pan at this stage.

Extra TA points when they're used at rugby matches.

Super TA points for when I hear one at a GAA game.

Lorelli! · 02-07-2017 11:21AM

My oh and i bumped into an aquaintence of his yesterday afternoon. We got chatting for a while and you couldn't get a word in edgewise with this man. He reminded me a bit of David Brent except in real life it's not funny
