Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Wished someone happy birthday instead of happy Christmas earlier.

Felt like a right clown.😄

I actually nearly dug a bigger hole.

I was just about to say " You're getting into the Christmas mood with the jumper" and copped it just in time that it was just a regular jumper with a weird pattern 😁

I could write a book 🙈

Having already been q-jumped in the bank, a man who walked over to the self-scan I was doing in a local shop told me he was waiting for me to finish because he was next!

I had been going to leave the pack of chocolate peanuts that didn't scan twice already, but bc he said that I tried and finally succeeded in getting it to scan and paid the 1e in change.

I'm not normally this petty but the second hand "pot" makes me cranky.

Taking ages to find the start of the sellotape, then putting it down (forgetting to put a little fold on it), then having to look for the start all over again.

Last weekend I was told that his shoulder was sore(retired tradesperson, so to be expected and not the first time), I said it's coming up to Christmas better see someone about it. Same convo every second day since then. This am he's pale with the pain and has taken panadol instead of ibuprofen (to reduce swelling) a fact that both his wife and closest sister have told him endlessly.

So now Christmas will be all about his pain and the rest of us will have to duck and dive his bad humour bc of it.

What is it with some men who ignore common sense when a woman shows it to them???????????????

Ta that not everyone who has a twinge etc seems to know that of course it will get worse the harder it is to get medical care

Head cold, just hoping it’s a 24 hour thing. Only started feeling crappy around 8 this evening and it’s progressed quickly… Nothing respiratory, no aches or pains, no cough or sore throat of any description just sinuses, feeling pressure like my sinuses are set in cement.

I’ll gladly feel awful tomorrow if it means I’m okish Xmas day. We shall see.

I know who I may have contracted it off too, being Christmas and them being ultra ‘sociable’ they’ve been visiting and going around the usual haunts as has been habit….and come down with the same about a day ago….

Those random nosey customers who ask intrusive personal questions such as:
"what did you study?"
"where do you live?"
"are you married?"

Despite them not knowing you outside a working environment, have now moved to a new super intrusive question, as if they aren't nosey enough. I was asked by one yesterday:
"Have you a mortgage?"

Yes Brexit worked out great for Britain their economy is declining yes there's stupid eu regs but our economy depends on being in the eu .I,d say it's to do with maybe people sending money or other items by letter .

People who wear shorts everyday even when it's a cold winters day

Sounds like she was into you.

I had a work colleague from Cork who was like this. She wanted every bit of information about your own life while telling people next to nothing about her own personal life. I can’t stand cute sleeveens like this, and there’s plenty of them out there, mostly from rural backgrounds. If you even ask them something trivial like how their weekend went they act as if you asked them to reveal the third secret of Fatima.

On Christmas Eve, the weather presenters on RTE do this corny, cringy thing about Santa being on his way to Ireland and "the weather conditions are ideal, etc."

I know it's for the kids, (if any are actually watching the weather forecast) but it comes across as so contrived and phony.

Heard it on the 7.55am RTE Radio One weather forecast this morning. I doubt many kids of Santa age were listening at that hour.

The Busk is been 'streamed' later on

Goes to a good cause but **** me 'cringe at its finest' I bet yer man saying 'ah Glen they won't move Glen' felt like he was the business

Waiting for a lift in a shopping center today. Plenty of people waiting for one of the 2 lifts to reach the ground. The lift call button is clearly lot. Some guy decides to walk up to the button and press it. Clearly he doesn't trust that the people waiting pushed the button properly despite the button being lit. Only his amazing button pushing skills can press the button properly.

dads?
