Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

I have a toothbrush that takes hours to charge. Charge a bloody car quicker.

Just back from having been not alone caught behind TWO tractors that didn't pull in (I counted at least three lay-bys where they could have done so) but then also one of the drivers above that just trundled along not a care in the world.

And I was bulling for a pee.

Is it an irish thing on podcasts to 'stutter and 'ehhh' 'ahhhh' 'butttt buttt' etc

Is it so hard to think before you speak. I love John Mullanes views on various podcasts but he needs to learn to think before he speaks

I have that policy for my desk in work. Loads of stuff available immediately whenever I want it. My boss's TA is my desk, and mine is him getting on to me about it, and not my two colleagues who can be nearly as bad.

There's a big visit next week, and for the past two weeks he has been asking me to tidy the desk. When I send him a helpful (unrelated) e-mail, he replies with "Thanks!!! #TidyDesk". If I pass him in the corridor, I get "How's the tidying?".

After he left yesterday, I finally tidied up, bunging a lot of stuff into a press. I'll take great delight in spilling it all over my desk after the visit, just to annoy him. 😄 (Or maybe I'll be grown-up about it. 🤔😉)

two pubs I frequent, but not usually on a Sunday… I want to bring my folks out tomorrow for a late lunch or early dinner to one of them…

I can find out on both their websites a detailed history of both businesses, a history of the localities they are in, the menus, about four dozen professionally taken photos, the reviews, the style of underpants preferred by the head chef but any chance they’d maybe include the times for food.. ? Like say carvery 12-4… a la carte 4-7 ? Nope, that info nowhere,

It is businesses across the board doing this. They treat their opening hours like a state secret, especially on bank holidays, Christmas etc.

They tend to have more up to date or reliable information on social media e.g. Facebook, Instagram but not everybody is on these.

Websites are their public face and should have this information at a bare minimum. It's basic stuff. If I don't know whether or not a place is open or closed, I am not going to bother trying. There's nothing more frustrating that a wasted journey "on spec" especially if you have elderly people or children with you.

turkey.

Grok is full of **** and pigheaded too. There have been a few examples of where it was obviously wrong but would not admit it. It just keeps arguing the same point, that the person is 100% wrong and even when it was shown the evidence it grudgingly admits that it is not conclusive. Why did they program it to be so stubborn and unwilling to learn?

Come to think of it there are a couple of posters on here who might be Grok being tested out by the developers. 🤔

Was in Dunnes one day and they had two Dolmio Stir in Sauces on special offer for a fiver. Great says I.

Was in Aldi not long after and they were selling them for €1.09 each.

Those roundy steel toilet paper holders in public loos . You twirl and twirl the paper trying to find the beginning then you pull one skinny small leaf off and start the search all over again for another skinny leaf

I love trad music but can't understand how anyone enjoys rap but each to their own
