Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

In shoes I take size 7 or 8 small for a man.

I bought a pair of runners in size 8 and felt they were a little big and size seven was to small.

The size 8 always annoyed me because I felt it was a little loose.

I then found size 7.5 and the size is better.

However I got so used to the size 8 I find the 7.5 to be tight now to.

Whar doesn't help was i bought a few pairs of the 7.5.

Neighbours alarm going off through the night, again.
If I have a faulty car, I won’t drive it. I’ll get it repaired.

If I have a rip in my rain jacket I won’t wear it, until I patch it or buy another.

So what the fûck is the logic behind, having a faulty house alarm but setting the thing anyway ? 😵‍💫 Absolute dîckheads. Knowing its going to really cause disrupted sleep and discomfort for probably upwards of 100 people.

too regular an occurrence for it not to be…. The only alternative is that every second burglar in Dublin is targeting them.

I dunno what the craic is. I’m not even 100% sure what property it is ( though I have an idea ) as I’m usually well in bed before it goes off. Might take a walk / look see one of these evenings.

Report to ISPCA maybe?

People listening to rince and repeat soccer/sport shite on their phones in public places on the phone speaker instead of headphones.

No, I don't care about Ipswitch Town/whatever now, never had, never will. I don't care if the brown horse wins the race again. I don't care. 😁

It’s more than trivial , but because I have a lorry licence I need a medical to renew it every 3 years . I did that in 2023 and never got my licence . Ringing them constantly and now , because it’s now out of date I have to spend more money to get a doctor to sign it and reapply fecking did ****

Every week I go to YouTube app it says manage accounts there's no exit button I don't want to make a new YouTube account there's no way to exit

The way Americans casually think they are the no1 in the world at everything. New Orleans radio reporter states .”The Superbowl is the biggest sporting event in the world”

So I did a quick internet search -

It is the biggest American event and 8th in the world.

The worst part was he said it as if he knew it was true. So it had me doubting- thinking I didn’t know that. Maybe it is? And he was way off.

When the abject suffering of someone is a way that others can earn a ridiculous level of comfort in comparison by copy/pasting their image and selling advertising off clicks. The use of the the word "favourite" is particularly jarring here.

There was a guy in the office today fixing some of the electronic door releases. Standing on the ladder behind me, and what does he start singing?

What the world... Needs now....

I really really wanted to push him off the ladder.

Periods are such an ordeal—5 to 7 days of dull, stabbing waves of pain that can be crippling, bloating, mood swings, constant bleeding, and just generally feeling awful. Trying to get strong painkillers at the pharmacy feels humiliating. You're questioned like a dirty addict and treated like you're exaggerating. To get what you need, you have to loudly explain that you're on your period, right there in the middle of the chemist, they ask you have you tried different painkillers (ones that dont work), and when you say you have they question you about it. It’s so invasive and patronising that it's easier to just avoid the hassle altogether and suffer through the pain.

Meanwhile, you have to go to work and live your life acting like nothing is wrong. Mentioning it makes people, particularly men, extremely uncomfortable. So you're left suffering in silence, feeling embarrassed about something entirely natural. It’s exhausting and unnecessary.
