Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

To be fair, that hasn't happened for quite while, and we are unlikely to be qualifying for anything anytime soon.

my next door neighbours, at it again.. their doorbell is broken about 2 years. They haven’t replaced it and again at about 7.50 am a person was banging feverishly on their window for an age, about 5 minutes to get them to answer their door… was maybe a courier or An Post as a plain white van drove off…

15 - 25 euros will replace a doorbell. There is no skill needed to install one….But these being the ultimate lazy, cheap and useless geek fûcks are content to be lying there 😴, people making the efforts coming to deliver stuff to them but can’t simply because they’re not answering… I’m of course woken by the intense window hammering ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻 even though I’m many feet away…

100%… the texture of the honeycomb centre is sorta chewy yet gritty where it used to be light and crispy / crunchy…. Less chocolate now and blobby in shape….wouldn’t buy them.

Getting stabbed in the back by a work colleague for something nothing to do with them.

Went to the manager saying that a customer was complaining that I was ringing her doorbell at 7.15, which is impossible as I would still be in the depot at that time, and it would require me mastering travelling at the speed of light to get there any time before 8. Colleague also claims that I regularly misdeliver mail (mistakes can happen)- during Christmas period a customer on the same route told me that this colleague kept delivering her letters, including hospital appointments for her kids, to a house in a different townsland. I cleaned up that mess but didn't go squealing to the boss.

This colleague gets on well with my mam which grates even more, didn't even have the soundness to tell the issue to my face. In fairness to the boss, he told me not to worry about that but actually be careful of said colleague as they have form in there of throwing others under the bus (including in-laws).

Won't be doing them a favour for a while though.

All sounds very childish.....like something in a senior infants class.

Who are the 2 lads in the picture together

Bugging me

The fact that RTE think there is only one member of these professions in Ireland: Architect-Dermot Bannon

Gardener- Diarmuid Gavin

I don’t have a doorbell when I am expecting deliveries I simply put a sign on ground “leave package in porch”. I don’t know if your neighbour has a porch. But if they do, might be an idea to suggest that.

Child psychologist - David Coleman

Financial Advisor - Eoin McGee

Fitness Guru - Karl Henry

There's a common link between all these experts of course.

Myself and the partner got ourselves a Blink camera doorbell so we can see exactly who is at the door. Very useful for avoiding charity nuisances and “gutter cleaning” scammers.

Today’s TA is that I’m now avoiding the coffee shop that I usually go to in work thanks to the absolutely awful music they’re playing in the shop lately.

Who took her place? RTE is like The Highlander: there can be only one.

Saw one of the w*nkeriest things on the road tonight. Busy petrol station on a busy road. One car trying to exit right but due to the traffic was proving difficult.

Lo and behold, a kind soul from the left slowed down as there was a small gap from the right so the car could get out, flashed at them to exit and all.

As the car in the garage began to move out, the scumbag laid into his horn, put the foot down and sped on with his middle finger to the driver of the exiting car, leaving them poking out into the road with traffic once again coming from the right. Absolute horrible ass hole and I genuinely hope he crashes into a ditch.

On another TA note, I also accidentally sat on a donut that I'd been looking forward to all day :(
