Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Thread has had its fill of eggs … unborking.

A cashier at a Supermarket not even looking at you from the start of the transaction to the end….

I mean I know you hate your job but if you don't like dealing with the public….

So I make a point of noting their name and saying it as I thank them and walk off….thing is most people treat them as a transaction and rarely make eye contact with them either in their haste to get out of there….

I can pack as quick as the cashier can scan as I have my bags sitting ready in the trolley.

Just tell them you'll give your mobile number for lidl plus so you can reel it off while still packing

TA at stupid appliance manuals being completely unrelated to the model you bought, being in pidgin english, and not giving instructions for anything

Also I have handles that are meant to be installed on the fecking thing that I don't have the correct tool for... plus there's what looks like a wad of dried glue gunking up one of the holes where the screw goes... Super

The infantilisation people do to themselves in today's day and age. "I'm just a girl", "I'm neurodivergent", "I'm introverted"

All these phrases used as some excuse for a deficiency in their personalities.

• No, you're not a girl, you are a fully grown adult woman of 30+ years old, and you sound pathetically incompetent and sexist, denigrating yourself on the basis of your gender. Same vein as "boys will be boys" except different flavour.
• You're not neurodivergent, you think differently, everyone does, unless you have a diagnosis with a specific version of it like autism please shut up. You are fundementally boring and had to take something remarkably bland like how you think and make it a personality trait. And I suspect you're fishing for some special pity/extra attention.
• Introverted? because you can't make a call on a phone or approach someone to complain about something? No you lack social skills, introverted is someone who actively recharges away on their own and does not seek company of others. Numbing your brain with a social media algorithm in a dark room everyday is not introverted behaviours. You are simply destroying your capacity to focus, connect with other people.

Grow up and stop making excuses and do the work needed to address aspects of yourself that need changing.

A delivery I’m expecting Friday has been rescheduled for next week. So 9 days now between order and delivery. Not impressed as the company are based in Dublin and their website explicitly says at the time of ordering….’in stock’… made the order on Sunday so if it’s ‘in stock’.. maybe just put it in suitable packaging, label it up and give it to the courier ? The ‘in stock’ item is still sitting in stock in their warehouse. Also annoying is I never received an email about the delay I just happened to check their website now and the delivery date has been changed…

Are you telling us its all ova?
