Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

The f-rip off optician I went to 3 times. Everytime I told them they weren't strong enough. He had his chance .

How can you be sure that it was the same optician you saw each time?

About 15 minutes ago a very vocal row…two eejits outside in the street in the rain beside a 14 year old skip on wheels of a Micra, the row was about whose turn was it to drive. Squaring up and everything 🤪

Both had the demeanour of people who were under the influence, if it’s me at 1.45 am in that weather I’m less worried about whose ‘turn’ it is to drive I’d just want to get to wherever I’m going and into the warmth.

I had to move my ass from my bed to the window to ensure there wasn’t anything more nefarious going down such was the commotion and… as I was comfy…👎🏼 TA x10000… arseholes.

I asked AI to create an image of the type of person I usually see at my local Dunnes Stores blocking the aisles at busy times. It was pretty accurate.

Getting aggro at the door when out delivering, being mistaken for a canvasser when a candidate was floating around the area.

The irony being I was going around getting rid of the last bit of election shite, along with any letters for the addresses (to ease the load for Monday). I know its annoying to receive them, but its equally annoying having to deliver them, in the rain, on a Saturday.

Exactly this. There were several roads flooded out here this morning that would have been grand if the drains had only been cleared.

For no reason I can figure out, gmail now require I click into a message to match a number to verify my email. An email Ive had for decades, I get it might be a anti hacking thing but if someone has stolen my computer it is unlikely they would have my phone as well.

Flaky people. Trying to arrange anything with them it's like trying to herd cats. Forgetting, turning up late etc.

Same with dating apps, match, chat, chat's going great and then for no reason they suddenly unmatch themselves and fcuk off.

tiktok morphing into a cross between an online asylum and scam hub. From fun and quirky to progressively weird and psycho. I can get warnings for using the wrong verbiage, got a non penalty warning for just using the word ‘vodka’ in a jokey way and the also in another saying ..”I couldn’t sleep that early anyway“..both ‘a community guidelines violation’ 😅, wha ?

I’m incapable of the type of mental gymnastics that will ever lead me to understand how any person or even an algorithm can have an issue with that whilst they don’t seem to have an issue with the amount of African scammers on lives AND hitting my inbox ….( “hello there dear” )🤪

so anyway, today I got a warning from a moderator for saying something factual and then a few hours later the site gives me an award. I don’t know what to think.

'Thanks for choosing to travel with iarnrod eireann'

Its not like i have a choice of different train services

I was actually quite happy to get an award. I suppose an automatic award is ok but not the same as recognition. Glass half full (whiskey that is).

Those pouches of cat food that you can never actually empty unless you get a scissors and open them all up.

Souvenirs . . you know the type of touristy tat that people feel obliged to waste their money on, and bring back to you from their holiday trips abroad.

I usually can't wait just to bin them.

Here's a recent one . . I think they went out of their way to get one with the word 'tossa' on it . . especially for me.

Which is why I park as far away from the main door as possible, which still just means a 1 or 2 minute walk.
