Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Delivered a parcel Monday, left in a safe space (in this case a recycling bin that I have put stuff in before), with instruction to customer that I had done so.

How come then, on a Friday, a full four days after the event, said customer decided to query the delivery this morning, and the bin was subsequently emptied by the binmen yesterday?

How was I to know that would happen? Surely you'd follow up a lot sooner (and I met the customer the following day and all) for something like that? Find it very hard to believe they didn't put something in the bin in the meantime and saw it sitting there.

You can never win.

People not allowing the lift to empty before they try enter.

Lift door opens - one guy bursts through the door straight away, next guy with a load of bags shuffling around to enter past me.

Just fekin WAIT, a whole 2seconds, until I come out of the lift and you have plenty of space to enter.

I’ve an email since last Monday telling me an order is ‘dispatched’. However on that businesses website….still ’pending dispatch’.. ehhhh which is it ?

Either way it hasn’t arrived…haven’t been given a courier ref number only an email that doesn’t even include, ‘dear customer’ or ’hello customer’, content of the email is just ‘order has been dispatched’…before this business was sold I had NO issues or complaints, ordered, paid & got a professional email with a reference number be it UPS, An Post etc, and my stuff was delivered fast. But now..I want their staff and courier doing the legwork after I pay, paying = my bit done, me chasing them, having to be looking for basic delivery info ? Ffs, It’s not 1994.

Having to go back to the office. Full stop. 😭

The same happens on the Luas. People afraid the Luas is going to take off without them, so you have to struggle through/past them when trying to get out.

Yet another reason I avoid the Luas.

I asked a colleague for some advice about what to do about next door. There isn't a single space left in the house and garden that doesn't stink of petrol, burning paper, and pot classic. Those are just the ones I can identify.

I do not sleep well because I have to get up so many times during the night to open/close the window and turn on or off the filter. I am on the end of my tether and feel like screaming my head off for a week!! But I would run out of oxygen before then.

Next door has moved his home office to a room that means that when he opens the window what he is using naturally flows into my window so I wake up choking regularly.

The ta of this, colleagues reaction is "Ah hun he just wants a bit of strange and you fit the bill, its a complement"!!!

What are we 12?!!!!

I got a tax man's letter saying I owe €500 from 2021 . I'm lost as to why

It was a letter with contact details . Buwhen I rang the Rosscommon number of the Tax office there was no answer

When I think about the tax office is in Dundalk not Roscommon.

Pure BS

I'm really annoyed. And it's really trivial.

I'm in the semi-final of our work fantasy football game and I'm up against the favourite. I had to make one change (get a defender) and I had one player in mind, even though he hasn't done much lately. In the end I went for a safe option, but of course the original lad has scored a goal and has a clean sheet in one of the evening games. That'll probably be the difference between me staying in the competition and not.

Of course, I've probably triggered TAs for others by bringing up fantasy football...😄

My beer wasn't long enough in the fridge last night so I had to drink it lukewarm ☹️

I was asked to post a review of a transaction with a big-name retail entity. I mentioned that such a high-cost item should have had tracking. Their response was that the company they use doesn't have it at weekends.

Item left into the office on Saturday, didn't arrive 90 miles away till Wednesday, what about the rest of the time?

Spare a thought for the americans. They are now being asked for a tip by the self-service tills in supermarkets!

Lent a family member my car for a week that turned into 5 weeks due to typical car dealership shenanigans. That's the trivially annoying bit.

The absolutely raging bit is the tear in the seat leather. 😡
