Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

100% favoured dog friendliness to quality of the menu.

TA: got double-charged at an ATM. Not an official bank one, one of those you'd see at a petrol station, which is handily a three mins drive away from me.

Only I had the werewithal that something didn't seem right during the transaction and checked my app afterwards I would have been oblivious which makes me think how many older, less tech-saavy people have been caught too.

Tmi too much information I listen to a gaming podcast it's funny and it's got good reviews of the latest games I had to skip 5 minutes of the host talking about his bathroom problems .That's gross . Wtf . A certain podcast she interviews actors and singers , she spends 20 minutes talking about her own life going to college relationship s in every episode . I can't skip this podcast , the people who appear on it don't appear on other podcasts . Certain programs comedys I like this program I don't want to watch it at 1am at night.

Someone needs to invent an ai browser .it erases all articles about Elon musk from news websites . Everything he does is rude stupid or insulting to women .

I noticed that what must be his mother has the same intense, starey head on her, only she's selling hearing aids.

And this geezer has to be somehow related to them both.

Why is this national news ? Isn't this the rules of the road and a means to enforce that ? Next up, new 50 MPH speed limit sign installed in Bogaloga ....

RTE news

"A static safety camera will come into operation on the N80 in Co Carlow later today.

The camera, located near Graiguenaspiddoge, will be operational from 12pm.

Anyone found driving over the speed limit will be issued with a fixed charge notice, which carries three penalty points and includes a €160 fine."

People who feel the need to paint redbrick red.

Serving staff miserly with portions as if they're paying for them themselves.

Cafes with uncovered food on display and people gobbing all over them. Covid taught them nothing.

People who never paint their house and leave it bare. It is usually either the big boxy Dermot Bannon style house or McMansions. When the outline of the blockwork starts to show through the render it looks awful. You spent a packet on your house and now you are happy to leave it looking like crap for the sake of a few coats of paint?

Those kinds of houses are visual pollution anyway, painted or not.

I like to employ very expensive, highly skilled artisans to paint my house exterior. After the standard power-washing and painting is completed, they use specially prepared scumble glazes along with earth pigments and distressing/antiquing techniques, to artificially age it all again so the house looks as though it hasn't been painted in years.

Well . . that's the story I tell everyone anyway.

For the past few weeks, I've been considering moving into my work room to sleep due to the level of air pollution in the house, so I started to move stuff about and throw out papers/flyers/booklets that I've had since at least 2012.

It was a great workout but now I feel homesick as it brought out so many emotions but not memories. Two ta's here is that as they not bring up memories I can validate letting go of those, and part of me is whispering if I should really have shredded this and that?(even tho Ive not used them in at least a year)!

People that don't separate their rubbish properly or are too lazy to do so. A housemate recently did a spring clean of their kitchen presses and freezer. They threw a load of unopened packaged food in the general waste bin. I had to go through it later and open all the packages and empty the food into the compostable bin and then put the packaging in the recycling bin.

Edit: 'to' to 'too'

I suppose it is like the notions I have of sorting my GAA match programmes. Never works because I end up sitting down reading them.

Swerved a family social lunch out today as I’m just genuinely feeling a bit knackered and not up for it.

Home, nothing fancy…just a lasagne.. I follow the cooking instructions and power settings to a tee. I’ve never tried this particular supermarket own brand before but it’s absolutely fückin rank. Despite me following the instructions to the letter it’s mushy / watery, tasteless and crap. No bite, no flavour. How can a food company make a mess of putting together a lasagne ? Meat, béchamel sauce, cheese, spices and pasta sheets. For forks sake.

I even revisited the instructions as I was convinced maybe I did something wrong but nope. 👀
