Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Hmmm, not exclusively 😁

Done well for myself in terms of customers giving me presents this year. Enough bottles of wine to last me till next year, various boxes of chocolates, even a bespoke painting from an artist worth a few bob, and a good bit of cash in hand.

But I can't shake the feeling that there were a few that wouldn't even acknowledge me with even a token Christmas card. Brand new audis, living on beautiful houses in awkwardly to access spots but getting parcels every day of the week (never from Shein or Temu). They'd be the first to give out if one didn't arrive of course.

Shur it’s been said already, but wtf is this carryon with grown men wearing pyjamas?

I bought a what I thought was a microwave dinner only to read it takes 30 minutes in an oven

Thought he was a Saint?

Pretty daft this and it shouldn’t annoy me but it winds me up when the fat asses in RTE with their fat ass salaries never do the news reports on holidays like Christmas and it is left to someone you never usually hear of to present while the usual suspects are fattening up their asses at home. Bah humbug

Christmas themed AI generated vomit people are sharing.

Could be worse, they could be spelling it "Boxing Day".

The same dumb stupid articles about alcohol every year which are just free advertising for the alcohol industry.

"Tanya Sweeney: The dreaded Stephen’s Day hangover always seems to find me – is it time to be more sensible?"

"Why alcohol ruins your sleep and things you can do to combat its effects"

Nah, they are view to pay, beating around the bush, kid glove articles that are regurgitated every year.

On the Christmas theme: if you aren't cooking, stay out of the kitchen!

And the ones where the whole family are all wearing the same pajamas, jaysus wept grow up dafuq.

This thing on Facebook: "People you may know".

I'm after scrolling through about twenty such people, some with names I can't even pronounce, from foreign places never mind actually know.

I wish Facebook would allow me to turn off this nonsense permanently but that would probably curtail it's insidious algorithm helping it to propagate it's awful drivel. More fool me for wasting my time looking at it anyway.

Was having a nice walk with the dog earlier in local park on a lovely mild December day. These youngfellas who were only about 5 or 6 on these minature scramblers kept flying past again and again on the path. They were far too young. So annoying when you want some peace and quiet.

Some Christmas present with parents watching on. These things looked expensive. Little fuckers, I was hoping they'd break their necks.......

same, I don’t know what is going on with it. I’m from and in Dublin so how I’d know all these people in Islamabad, Agadir, Kinshasa, Lagos… 😅. Places are 6,000→8,000 kilometres away approximately. Kindly just 🪦
