Oh come on. My post wasn't directed at vegans. It was directed at people who change their lifestyle overnight and then preach to everyone about how bad we are for living how they lived before they changed their lifestyle seven hours ago. I just used vegan as an example.

My TA today: had my hair tied up in a bun and when I was redoing it the hair tie snapped. Now I've to leave my hair down and it has a kink in it.

Ask someone for their date of birth, put it into the computer but nothing comes up, ask them are they sure the date of birth is correct and they act all indignant like I've just called them a stupid fool. I tell them I can't do anything without their correct date of birth, ask them again are they sure it's xx/xx/xxxx and they say oh you took it down wrong, it's xx/xx/xxxX, even though I didn't take it down wrong :mad: so :mad:

Being asked for my date of birth all the time when dealing with companies. I know about Data Protection and the need to positively identify people, particularly in medical situations, but I'm not happy broadcasting my DOB to everyone within earshot. Not just because it tells people my age, but also because it's a supposedly unique identifier and it could help people steal my identity for fraud.

The person called me, knowing they would have to provide their date of birth (as it is needed every time), if someone has concerns about privacy, they can make or take the phone call from somewhere private.

Supposedly is right! So you're the only person born on such-and-such a date?? :pac:

In conjunction with, for example, a PPS number you have a useful compound key, as RDBMS nuts would say. On it's own, a DOB is about as useful as "number of ears attached to head"...

That smoking is bad for me:mad:. I wish they would make a good cigarette, that looked and tasted exactly like the cigarettes we have but without all the bad stuff:).

I'm trivially annoyed that they don't have alcohol that's good for your liver and burns fat and makes you irresistible to women. (I can cope without the last thing. Not really needed.

There's nothing more TA than a door banging because someone didn't close it properly.

Yeah, I get that's typically how it's used - in conjunction with a name and an account number. Doesn't make it any less annoying ...

Ta'ed 3 money saying my hard of hearing sib isn't allowed anymore to pre nominate a person to pass on his instructions to them for a refund on his hacked card. How the hell do they think he is going to know when they've picked up the call and what they are saying when they ask the security questions? Is the phrase Hard of Hearing hard to understand?.

everlast75 · 15-08-2017 11:47AM

Those people incapable of making a phone call without turning their phone on loudspeaker and walking around holding it like they are on The Apprentice.

No one wants to hear both sides on your inane conversation - you aren't that important!!!!

Is that not classed as "hands free" when driving.It seems to be the norm around my town.Idiots.Especially when you see them with a new or nearly new car and a smartphone. The car has built in hands free.

erica74 · 15-08-2017 12:26PM

People who don't close the fridge/freezer in the supermarket.
People who decide they don't want something and discard fridge and freezer items onto any old shelf in the supermarket.

I was in a shop the other day and some stupid bint let her obnoxious child open all the doors for the ice cream freezers. They didn't buy any ice cream and the mother didn't ask the brat to close them again and didn't close them herself either, they just walked off. Made my blood boil.
TA: I ended up closing them myself in the end. Stupid OCD.

Probably! A friend posted on Facebook 'Little Tarquin was standing on his steppy stool beside me as I washed the dishes and throwing the cereal bowls into the sink. I asked him no stop in a nice voice and he said 'No, mommy! Nuh-uh!' and I hugged him and told him I am soooo proud of him. If he can defy me, he can defy anybody''

That's a TA!

eisenberg1 · 15-08-2017 01:41PM

Can't wait until Tarquin gets to the big school, and gets his first good
Kick in the bollox.

OldNotWIse · 15-08-2017 01:42PM

Spiders jumping out at me from everywhere these days. Massive TA. Whilst I normally accommodate the little sh*ts because they keep down the flies, I don't appreciate them jumping out at me from a mug or my shoe!

Also TA electric shower banjaxed so need to shower in parents - ok in the morning pre-work but what about the nice, hot evening shower before jumping into bed?

as long as they're not shoving their vegan tendencies, or slimming world, or gluten free, or macros, down everyone else's throat I don't care what they're doing

My TA is yesterday evening I pulled onto the forecourt to get diesel and all 4 spaces were taken. 3 empty cars so I assumed they were inside paying and 1 guy still filling. The shop was busy and at the door into the shop two women stood talking. For the 5 mins I was waiting, they both made eye contact with me a few times. So anyway, no sign of any cars moving away. The man who had been filling while I pulled up came walking out of the shop and of course couldn't move his car because some dickwad had boxed him in. I pulled into the space as soon as he could move and the others were still occupied with the same 3 empty cars. I'm midway through filling my car when the two women at the door said their goodbyes to each other and both walked to their respective cars. The cars parked at the pump. I nearly had a conniption. They'd been both standing there flapping their mouth seeing people wait to pull into a pump and had stood there chatting for at least 5 mins. I'm not the best at waiting, admittedly but I was furious. I was so mad I started ranting at the poor girl at the till too about stupid people. Obviously she didn't care I had to wait but she empathised and agreed some people are just the worst, but I was so full of rage I had to let a bit of it out.

I don't shove veganism down anyone's throat (and actually despise militant vegans who do) but to be clear, it's a lifestyle choice, not a "tendency".

I agree with you and I'm practically a carnivore. However there are people, such as particular female journalist in the UK who bang on about being vegan because it's just a thing to say. The woman in question wears wool, leather, silk and eats eggs and cheese. When it's faked for attention 'tendency' is a polite word. When it's real. it's an ethical lifestyle choice on your part and I wish I had your resolve.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 15-08-2017 02:15PM

To be honest I don't care who eats what or what lifestyle choices they make as long as it's not being rammed down my throat. Eat meat don't eat meat, eat cake for breakfast or don't, I don't care. People's diet and lifestyle is rarely interesting to other people. if youre vegan (which is different to a vegetarian is it not?) or you're doing slimming world or you're off the booze, good for you, but don't stand in front of someone else shoving your lifestyle choices down their throat

Did they have a hipster beard? A fair trade avocado in their pocket? A crocheted hat? :P

TA I don't know if "wk" in text speak is "week" or "weekend" and much hinges on my interpretation! Actually just TA text speak.

I think you're the one who got defensive actually. You just saw the word "vegan" and pounced and missed the point completely. Anyway.....

Standing at at ATM and can hear a person I know behind me in the queue. I was withdrawing quite a bit as I've a few things to pay. When I turned around before they even said hello they said "jaysus win the lotto did we".. felt like saying mind yer own feckin business.

She's not a vegan. And yes all fads are annoying. And banging is inexcusable from any grown adult. I get meat eaters banging on about bacon all the time - they seem to think it's vegan kryptonite or something

"but behold the bacon and ye shall crumble under it's wrath" :P

That's a TA!

I knew someone who tried to stop her kid acting the maggot by telling him that he was making baby reindeer cry. Why she couldn't simply tell him he was making adults' ears bleed was beyond me.
