Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Got caught on the doorstep by one of the govt party canvassers, I asked them about their policy on housing, one asked me if I had been impacted. (doing the usual thing of assuming the house I was going into was mine)

I said yes and told him exactly why that was outside of the housing shortage. He looked me coldly in the eye and said, "Well, yes, so many single women your age caught up in the banking crash," and walked off!

Ta'ed that he felt this was an acceptable way to respond to a person on the verge of homelessness constantly!

Three unaccompanied small children selling unwrapped biscuits door to door... my parents had this a couple of days ago. They're in a tiny village with no housing estates and the kids weren't raising money for any cause of school, so it seemed very strange. Who lets smallies out calling to randomers without an adult to keep them safe?

i think all the reporters are hoping we get another winter like 2010 or was it 2011 and they all got to dress up like they were on Shackeltons expidition reporting on the snow…tis a bit cold yeah but no need to hype it all up…think of the poor lads in shorts,runners and the canada goose coats!(spotted two earlier,gobshites!)

I'm not ta'ing your TA . But how does one get stuck under a cat ?

When it rains cats and dogs, but they're REALLY big ones :)

TA i keep getting LinkedIn connection requests from life coaches, who personalize their messages and apparently really want to connect.

I'm guessing my profile pic looks like somebody in dire need of a life coach.

Feck off the lot of yiz.

Many a time I have been prevented from making a cup of tea by a cat.

All the people in Britain who go on about the NHS.

"The NHS saved my life", "Increase in tax can help our NHS" , "The only problem with the NHS is it's not funded well enough" and anyone who works for the NHS being treated like a hero etc etc

It's like a religion for some of them in Britain, they seem to have this impression that people all over the rest of the world where there isn't an NHS style system end up dying of mild illnesses.Usually British exceptionalism comes from right wingers but this is a left wing type of British exceptionalism that is equally stupid.

That **** Michael O Leary and his '€500 each way flight to/from Dublin to London at Christmas' bollocks earlier in the year

Booked Flights for December back in July after seeing the chatter and looking at the prices ended up paying more 😔

At least I'm flying back on British Airways so the ballax is only getting money off me once

Men wearing shorts when it is minus 3.

DPD! Two deliveries coming from Amazon with DPD. Get two emails from DPD asking me to confirm my address online. Bullshit excuse that they didn't get my Eircode which Amazon always provide. When I confirm my address a box comes up saying it will take and extra day to my address and wanting me to confirm that. F off I'm not agreeing to crap service.

That in 2025 we still have a huge number of people who genuinely believe that some people can talk to the dead.

To me, this is one of the stupidest things in all of the human race. If it was genuinely possible, it would probably be the greatest discovery EVER in the history of the world, of the human race. Maybe even more significant than aliens landing in a major capital city.

It would be such an amazing discovery, totally change human outlook on life etc, yet we have so many who believe it's totally possible and don't see that if any of these charlatans could prove they are genuine, they would be one of the most famous people in human history.

Plunger taps that offer milliseconds of water before turning off again.

this, a TA of mine too….it’s like some symptom of a mental illness. It’s 0 degrees out, on their upper half they are attired as if they were going to climb the north face of the eiger in mid winter , yet the bottom half attired like they were in Hawaii in July. That’s not right in the head, can’t be… 😏

My TA. Getting a delivery email for some clothing order that I didn’t make or don’t remember making. It’s a company I use regularly but everything I ordered I have received last week…. Sooo ? Apparently it’s out for delivery, whatever IT is but 👀…

Either the company have made a mistake and sending an automated delivery email in error, or I’m getting free stuff, cause I ain’t paying for it if I didn’t order it 🤔
