Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

thats life most of the time you dont get what you are looking for

i would have said frank sinatra and u2 teamup

trying to get to the RDS tomorrow… via public transport.

You’d think if they want us out of cars they’d make alternative methods of transport easier. But instead they have royally messed up.

What should be a pleasant and fun day, and I’m sure it will be once there…is going to be tempered by orbital bus routes and multiple changes, I’d be quicker, looking at the timetables, if I went up into actual orbit. Might meet a few of the lunatic space cadets who devised and approved this while I’m up there.

The 'child running the house' phenomenon that is getting more and more common.

I especially don’t understand it for electrical appliances as it’s free to drop those off at recycling centres. The remote places you see them dumped sometimes, it really can’t have been easier than taking it to the local collection point.

Maybe there was a body in the fridge.

Couples who argue in front of you. When it happens I just want the ground to swallow me up. Take it outside.

people who have no get up and go, who have no concept or value of time & allow themselves to get easily distracted by anything & everything & have no sense of urgency or the sense to be able to put the skids under themselves when they are behind schedule potentially messing up someone else’s day.

Anywhere I’m going, I aim to be arriving early. That way if something happens.. traffic etc.. I’ll be still ballpark on time or just a small bit late that won’t totally inconvenience anybody.

People without get up and go / initiative I can’t deal with…Well I could but it would be with a cattle prod.

Reels is to satisfy the millennials and that tech obsessed mindset, something different, something new, always sharing, always interacting, ‘quick, look at this’, ‘quick, look at me’ type mindset… absolutely no need for it… detracted from the social media experience for most people I know.

Reels is a copy of TikTok shorts etc you do not get sick leave unless you are sick parental leave is designed to help people who have young children. We need children to keep the economy going they grow up to be workers

water outage here since somewhere between 8.30-9.00pm. 10.20pm now and…still nothing on the Uisce Eireann site about it. Be nice if you could see the outage acknowledged & at least be availed of information like if a crew is on the way or already working on it, with an estimated fix time. But not even acknowledgment of the issue. Loads of bottled water here, about 50-60 bottles so not concerned but we pay water charges, given that, when things go tits up I think a quick website update might be not too much to expect… but it’s Ireland, 2025. 🙄

Reminds me, my router/service has that feature, but I haven't inserted the sim or set it up.

When people call Pancake Tuesday "Pancake Day".

When someone mentions pancakes and then I want some and I have none.
