Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

You should have demanded that they sell it at the same price as last year and that they should never change things.

being put in the middle of other peoples drama

Went out to wheel in the brown (organic waste) bin this morning some time after it was collected. Took a peek inside to make sure it was empty and some passer-by had dumped a little plastic bag full of their dog's s**t in there 😡

If things like this annoy me so much in my early 40s, I shudder to think how I'll react in my 60s/70s.

the modern breed of rugby referee who spends more time yapping to players and explaining decisions and negotiating with players to do xyz…. Fûck that….. You have two arms, a whistle, yelllow and red cards. The players know the laws… make calls, sanction players, give clear, concise instructions and otherwise be quiet and get on with the game and just ref it… instead of all this ‘time off’ and subsequent debates and conversations with players …. Just encouraging and facilitating dissent and delays the game.

I was going to ask what the sniff was , then I copped on . I remember being in Wicklow at a Santy thing and we ( ex-wife and 2 children ) stopped for food . There was a Liverpool/Utd match on tv and I couldn’t believe the amount of sneachta being passed around

Looking for ages now for a new handbag, one with longish/twin handles, middle zipped pouch and a zip top, big enough to hold a ltr of milk/biscuits etc.

Freaking impossible to find at an all, let alone affordable price! Don't even get me started on the padded ones aka an open invite for ppl to walk into them.

Let's be posh and put on the satin duvet cover and sheets for Christmas they said.

Because nothing says festive joy like sliding onto the floor at three a.m.

Christmas with dementia.

Sorry for a mega downer of a post but this jolly season brings home how hard it is dealing with family dementia with absolutely no assistance and not one single give a damn from the state.

Despite every effort to make this year different, to make this year special and in some way memorable for the person I love, it still descends into the heartbreaking chaos of accusations of theft, confusion and fear.

Til today all seemed relatively well but of course we were plummeted back into the depths of confusion and paranoia, anger and sadness very quickly.

Over the years, we have begged and pleaded for help but the gp has essentially told us to just f*ck off and stop annoying them.

I'm sorry if this sadness is outside the spirit of the thread, but as I write this with helpless tears in my eyes, my inner tiny tim asks, please, please can somebody help us.

So far the answer from Ireland is a big fat no.

Sorry :(

My friend's daughter was telling her dad about a job she had seen locally she had been considering applying for. He has been haranguing her to go back to work with no consideration for her personal circumstances.

The job was in a posh gym and one of the few jobs that is easily commutable from where she is living(which is why she was thinking of applying). Knowing the likely target audience, she looked at the stats for the ad, and sure enough, they advertise every 12 or so weeks.

She has been targeted in her last few workplaces bc of her size(due to meds),

Her dad told her she didn't have too many choices and should apply anyway as it's easy for her to get to.

I cant articulate why this annoys me so,🙄🙄🙄

When you are in the mad mental rush towards Xmas and suddenly it's the 29th December and the media is full on new year's resolution mode. Give us a break.

When a restaurant goes scabby/gets greedy/both. There's a Greek place local to me that always gave you a little bit of salad when you ordered skewers. Nothing fancy, just a bit of shredded lettuce with tomato and onion, but tasty, and contrasted nicely with the salty lamb. Came in there for the first time in a while and ordered my usual, came out as literally two pieces of lamb on a bare plate.
