Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

I'm not into Musicals , but the Greatest Showman is unbelievable . TA is when I 'm driving by with my window down and people are playing rap music I have a million dreams on

One of my dogs is farting. Not sure which one it is yet - I'm being pointed at from both directions - but the smell would make a maggot's eye water 🤢

bought a packet of 8 AA batteries about 6-8 months ago. I used 2 immediately to replace the ones in my satellite remote, now two remain, but where the other 4 have disappeared to ..? And who disappeared them ? 🥷🏿

Left them lying on the shelf under my TV though which wasn’t clever on my behalf, an invitation to them being ‘borrowed’….👀

Batteries and screwdrivers seem to sprout legs and run away in my house, I can never seem to find them when I need them.

I don’t mind chin beards so much. It’s the revival of mullet and moustache combo among young people that freaks me out. It makes them look “rapey”.

Exactly, they look like the type of glasses that the Mid Western Health Board would issue to medical card holders back in the 1980’s.

People taking up entire footpaths is a massive TA of mine, so special shout-out to the guy sailing serenely up Merrion Row this morning with either a cello or a double bass on his back, requiring everyone to step into the road to get around him. Sound.

Companies or individuals ringing from landlines.. call can be missed.. no voicemails.

When did companies get into the practice of just calling people's phones and moving on?

My TA probably as been said loads of times on boards. But it wound me up this morning.
I was about to go down the slip of a motorway junction. Small navy van tears down the slip from way back skipped the queue. Ok I thought maybe he/she is in a hurry. But then the driver proceeded to cut right across the slip lane and first lane cutting into the middle lane, in heavy traffic. If everyone was so entitled like that there would be chaos.

And as if that was not bad enough the van had a Meath registration! Which only annoyed the Dub in me further…..

No definitely not always

Those sachets of tomato ketchup you get in chippers and restaurants that are well nigh impossible to pull open unless you happen to be carrying a scissors on you.

had that in last place, ‘anonymous’…nothing ever changed, a tick box exercise. But boy were there some toys thrown when the completion rate plummeted to 60% or so….shît their jocks too when they didn’t get their desired answers..

My TA.. Shower max temp is too cool. It will only go up to level 7 on the settings as when it was installed and you used 8, it tripped the whole power. They came back and rigged it so it can’t be turned up to go higher than 7 but it’s only lukewarm at 7. Might see about a new shower. It’s seriously powerful but just too lukewarm.

I download podcasts half time the file is called something like Afghrtcjk4577834.mp3 my music player can only show the names of half the podcasts so I have to click play file xx to find out what it is .why cant podcasters or Android come up a standard file naming system

Eg name of podcast year episode 5 .mp3

This week feels like the whole month of January !

They may have twitchy noses and a quizzical expression but ground squirrels are not as cuddly as they appear: researchers have found they repeatedly hunt and eat voles, decapitating their prey and pulling flesh from the torso.

Bonus points for the scientist describing this as "incredibly exciting"
