Things dat Trivyully Annoy You (part whatever) *MOD WARNING IN OP* NEW

Well he's dead now so ......

People who dedicate themselves and by proxy their ego to altruism…

every second day, a person I’m friends with but more an acquaintance in real life… on their social media…’collecting xyx for this charity’, ‘doing this run.. here is a link to sponsor me…’ ‘collecting clothes / foodstuffs / old prams / bicycles / tools whatever….’…’ does anyone know a carpenter to fix a table for…’ then the same one with memes for any mental health thing, charity road race or swim, whatever….

Look, I get it, you enjoy / get a kick out of helping people….. and you enjoy getting the auld ego stroked in return… but I genuinely just use social media to keep in contact with friends and family, fun, lighthearted, occasionally informative……quit the altruistic propaganda already… muted.

The best I ever had was someone looking to meet me half way for an item I was giving away for free.

They got a very sarcastic reply and turned up on my door that night...

Insomnia. Had an extremely overdue eye test scheduled for this morning at 10am. Was genuinely looking forward to no longrt going around the place like Mr. Magoo in a few weeks time.Went to bed early and even took some sleep medication because I've been having serious trouble getting to sleep recently and didn't want to miss my appointment if I didn't get to sleep til 3am and subsequently slept in. Not a wink of sleep did I get. Resolved to call the opticians at 9am to cancel and apologise. Must have fallen asleep around 8.30 😠 and woke up at 12.30. Now I have to ring them up and apologise for not making the appointment and not cancelling beforehand. God knows how long I'll have to wait before the next available appointment.

People driving & approaching speed bumps, dart left, to avoid what exactly??

You d!ckhead, you still have to go over the bump, knob.

The school down the road from me has the similar …a pedestrian crossing AND two lollipop ladies. You have to wonder the value of a pedestrian crossing plus two human beings… from a fairly young age I managed to safely negotiate traffic on my way home from school …

a few months back, the one who looked like Worzel Gummidge’s sister, she jumped out into traffic while we had the right of way, raised her pole, traffic stopped or jammed on rather and two kids crossed…. TWO… is it not important that those two kids learn the value of patience, press the button… wait for 15-20 seconds, walk when safe and when prompted by the green light for them .. ? Someone to oversee that on the pathway…? Sure ! Whatever….Some melt diving in front of traffic anytime a kids approaches to cross…? A nonsense I say. 😳. We were the first of two cars, so 5 seconds passes there is no traffic to contend with.

I had that , then we moved.

Now there's a school near me where the lollipop lady is positioned in-between two sets of pedestrian lights.

Which are also in-between a busy junction and even busier roundabout.

Turns the whole road into a carpark as guaranteed to get stuck at least twice by something.

Does anyone follow on social media the Queen Of Scotty road ?

he used to be a quite humorous, sort of out there scouse, in your face, camp, funny, irreverent comedy send up personality…on social media…

who has now unfortunately substituted his humour, ingenuity and out there persona…. With a quite different and quite frankly rude and aggressive sort of schtick…..just saw a video post and it’s as usual one of his comedy skits but he’s just roaring expletives in the middle of the street.. small kids passing behind him and instead of ‘hey look at yer man he’s hilarious’… it’s rather… ‘wow, the absolute state of this freak’ … like he’s gone full on nutjob… it’s becoming more terrifying that this isn’t much of a sendup and maybe just an exaggeration of his base personality…. Either way… unfollow, dude should know that if he has a winning formula, stick with it.

We have a lollipop lady in our estate who hasn’t a clue how to be a lollipop lady !! She stands gormlessly at the side of the road , spots a child 200 metres away and darts out on the road . She neither looks right or left or if there is a car coming and is an actual danger . So she is now plonked in the middle of the road cars stopped while we wait for the child to actually appear and cross over

Back to the office 3 days a week from Monday. 😭

People who park their shopping trolley across the aisle in the supermarket.

I bought a quite expensive Microwave. Sharp is the brand and that is quality.

My TA is my own lack of knowledge and also needless complication. For years and years my battered old microwave served me well. A dial for power in watts and a dial for time. That is all that was needed.

My bells n´whistles new microwave has 18 buttons and it's needless tbh. I put a pizza in and pressed pizza. 0.1 equals 40 seconds and 0.4 equals 2 minutes 40 seconds (4 x 40 seconds.) You cannot go above this. So you press 0.1 x 4 times to get 0.4 and then you return later to press it again as that is not enough to cook a pizza

What engineer decided we heat pizza by 0.4? My old microwave let me select minutes on a dial. Keep it simple stupid, isn't that a slogan somewhere?

A cheap microwave would have served me better, oh well
