Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

On the other hand, sounds like you have an excellent murder weapon, and the hard ice melts away down the drain with traces of the crime :)

Rare to see a biker going less than 150.

Get one of those soft rubbery trays,easy to remove.

I returned from a week’s holiday abroad on Friday and quickly developed a nasty cold. Not sure whether I picked it up from the dodgy air conditioning in the hotel or whether I got it from the airport or plane. My left nostril is like a dripping tap, I’ve an irritating cough and the sneezes I’m making are like blasts of thunder.

Also I woke up seven minutes before I was due to leave for work so I was rushing like crazy this morning to get dressed and out the door. I put on a grey polo shirt and took out what I thought were my grey chinos. When I was walking to the bus stop I looked down a saw that I took my navy chinos instead. Now my colour coordination will be all wrong for the rest of the day 🫠

Tried four different stores for two pint glasses.

The hunt continues. Might give Attenborough a call.

After a blissful almost two weeks, I hear the walking chimneys' who live next door are back from hols shortly!

Dame, just as I was getting used to not having multiple headaches and dizzy spells a day from their fumes!

GRRR

Waiting in a queue at Circle K to pay for petrol while staff debate who should be on the till. Then after a 10 minute wait getting to the till and the till breaking down so it won't take cash. No manager on site he had to be phoned and eventually staff got the note reader to take my money.

ffs if you don't trust you staff enough to have a traditional till with money in a drawer then have a system for when your latest technology fails and starts pissing off customers.

Funny you should say that, I was in Henry Street yesterday & a few of the shops were having issues with tills, were only accepting cash only. Must be a bug across the board!

Wrecks my head on packed buses. It's usually school kids taking up room for 2 people. Take the bags off and we'd all have more room. Driver could probably fit a few more on too instead of being stranded at the stop.

Don Carlos 360g Course Sea Salt. I was delighted to find sea salt in Dunnes that I could use to top up my salt grinder. TAed when I found I can't get the sea salt out of its canister because the pouring holes are a size for table salt and far to small. So I had to enlarge the hole (the top wouldn't come off) to get the salt out then store the canister in a plastic ziplock bag so the remaining salt doesn't get damp.

Anything to slow people down.

Or three for €1.50 and a warm glow that you are supporting charity ;-)

I got notification of a FB message at 00.36 this morning. Fair enough, not unheard of but, it’s not a friend, family member or acquaintance. It’s an invite from the National Concert Hall to join a channel of theirs.

Any reason why I have what is essentially an Irish state body as I believe the NCH still is…. Inboxing people at fûcking 00.36 on a Friday morning ? I get them wanting to spread the word, but would a simple ‘update’ or post on their page at that hour or indeed any hour not be more appropriate ? Then inboxing people…

Shards of broken glass outside someone else houses on the path. Would absolutely destroy a dog's paw or go right through a car tyre. Picked it up because no one else seemed to be ******* bothered. And the longer it's left the further it spreads.

In a similar fashion, rubbish embedded in the grass and shrubs outside businesses that would take someone inside 5 mins to pick up. They spend all day, every day, looking out at it. But, no they just leave it there for ever.
