Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

It was actually about ridiculous laws in Wisconsin in the US where it's still illegal to serve margarine instead of butter in prisons, schools and restaurants. The power of big dairy! (I wouldn't normally choose to listen to a show on the topic but it's a podcast I listen to regularly called Criminal - its very good) 🤣

I have tickets for the holiday show this coming weekend.

Instead of being able to print off tickets from the email as has been standard for forever in the entertainment / event world… I have to go in, set up an account with a third party who of course want loads of my info and fûck around with that and access and print tickets that way….

My TA is businesses / business people trying to be all conniving and different instead of just making things easier… Here, I ordered tickets, so how about you just send me them, how about I print or scan them to my phone… instead of setting up accounts and passwords ( held to ransom ) by / with your third party partners so I can get advertised to and put on mailing lists etc. literally no end to it. Is there no regulator ? 🙄

Work nights outs. I don't know what it's like in other companies but the nights out in my place always end up talking about our sales/product strategy which is basically just another work meeting, a general moan about the company, or office gossip. I have zero interest in any of that on my personal time.

My barber does that. App is called booksy. I find it dead handy. No queing so you know what time I'll be in and out. There's loads of stuff to book on it.

watching BBC news and a 14yo killed a 12 yo in a stabbing . I hope we never get like that

14 year old girl killed by 2 boys only 13 years old, not so long ago😔

not exactly trivial…

Its only a storm ffs

Its not the apocalypse

Fellas in Dublin City in the rough around the edges areas. It is rarely ever poodles or even little terriers they walk. Normally unmuzzled Bulldogs or bigger.

A lad from Boston who I worked with many years ago stated to me that people like that consider those “tough breed” dogs as an extension to their tiny penises.

Poxy bus is intolerably slow this evening. It should be be almost at the airport now but it’s still stuck in Whitehall.

Rang Drs secretary to organise a prescription and a cert. Was prescription due? Of course, that's why I'm ringing.

I can't pick the cert up till Tuesday because of the storm. I checked Met Eireann and the strongest winds are up to 62 kmh. Maybe I'm wrong about thinking people are being hysterical.

A trivial annoyance from earlier was cycling in to work with the wind and rain in my face, and having to sit in wet clothes (but I should have been better prepared). But at least the wind will be on my back going home, right? Of course not, not a bit of wind around when it might have been helpful.

It's slightly windier now than it was then…
