Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

When you’re sitting at a table in the coffee shop and then someone sits beside you on the next table, then another person from their group comes and sits with them….and another comes to join their group and sits across from you ….and another arrives and starts pulling chairs right up close to you…and another….and another until suddenly you’re completely surrounded by them and crowded out. It’s a subtle form of intimidating you out of your seat so that they can take your space.

Drivers who don’t know what the yellow box is for. Car in front indicating to turn right, traffic is busy, but the yellow box has been left clear, but car just sits there indicating right, I’m stuck behind and can’t turn left. Then traffic starts moving and car is left there still indicating to turn right and has to wait for a break in traffic. I’m still behind it waiting to turn left, very annoying.

Don't leave us in suspense, what is the story?

The family passed through Leitrim on a short trip away when her son (my husband) was a young child. They had been visiting family in Fermanagh before. When the arrived home the boy declared "Mammy I thought Fermanagh was the most boring place in the world but I was wrong, it's actually Leitrim". That's it. That's the anecdote. :|

Kids always tell the truth ;-)

A minister Niamh Smyth did a zoom interview for an american news channel. You would think she was doing it from a squat or something, the place looked like a right kip. Was that the best place she could find to set up?

Found it on Youtube

A helicopter overhead and a siren headed to the lake, not annoying in themselves, but the thoughts of the poor families potentially involved in it all.

That’s it’s only after 8 o’clock

Getting belittled by a customer for doing things by the book.

Covering a route today that I hadn't done in a while, new development in the meantime with a few apartments in it. Had two parcels for someone but none of the apartments had numbers on them (typical new build shite). So I wrote out a docket and left it in the postbox (located in a seperate area with all the other boxes). Plenty of builders etc. milling about so not taking any chances.

Get a phonecall from customer services about 10 mins later. Fella was irate roaring at her down the phone saying he was watching me the whole time and I made no attempt at delivery (he made no attempt to say meet me outside either or wave me down). Basically demanding I did a U-turn and re-deliver them. Poor woman seemed a bit intimadated.

Arrived back anyway and despite me saying I wasn't going to leave a parcel out in the open with no numbers on the apartments, he kept talking down to me. It isn't up to me to guess where he lives. He just didn't seem to grasp the concept that I was only following protocol, but it was his aggressive nature that annoyed me more than anything.

An English blow-in, I feckin' knew he'd be difficult when I saw his name for some reason.

Forget about it. Some people are entitled *****

Last six weeks my problem neighbour has had parked a banger of a van outside. A skip on wheels. Never moved & neither drive. I got nice low sunlight into the front in the evening, now I get a shadow. I’d presumed it was a friend who’d gone away and using theirs for parking. I’m wrong their drive is being used as a storage place for a surplus to requirements huge long wheelbase banger commercial vehicle…

my TA is these are the dicks who didn’t care about making noise all night leading to complaints from other neighbours too, their visitors cars blocking driveways and to now a storage bay for industrial vans blocking our light…. Anything else ? Hey like to rob the electricity or the food from other peoples fridges ? 🧐

A certain clueless female minister does my head in. If I refer to her as the Frank Spencer of Irish politics you could probably guess her identity easily.

Next door lets their friend stay in their house frequently, but seems to have "forgotten" that warm air rises and floats into my bedroom both from the wall and the window, a ta as I know its deliberate as they never open a window in that house.

Scan as you Shop. It's a godsend. But yes, the car park thing is very annoying.

Its a TA that they ask. I'm old I expect a receipt! Don't ask me just give me a receipt!
