Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Bork in 5,4,3,2,1…

For me that also means of change of route driving into town because of the all day dodgy parking (parked 200m on each side of road with white line down the middle).

I can tell you a sure-fire cure but you wouldn't like it.

TA - Making a coffee, having the first sip then forgetting about it for the next half hour and it's gone cold.

The whole merry go round starts every year in May with RTE and the newspapers.
LEAD IN . Advice on how to revise , what to eat, , how much to sleep and be sure to drink lots of fluids

ACTUAL EXAMS. Comparison with last year’s papers. Interviews with teachers and students leaving exam halls and of course the annual brouhaha about one subject that was “ too hard “ and of course “ wasn’t fair “

AFTERMATH. Worried Mommy's and Daddy’s fretting about the debauchery awaiting their little darlings as they embark on the obligatory trip to the fleshpots of Benidorm and Ibiza.
LEAD UP TO RESULTS . This part of the media splurge has multiple sub categories including in no particular order, POINTS, GRADE INFLATION, ACCOMMODATION OR LACK OF and of course during this period the annual cost of children returning to school will rear its head.
RESULTS DAY. Are results up or down this year ? , how many students got the magical seven hundred or is it seven thousand points and what’s the effect on college places .
DAY AFTER RESULTS DAY. Scandal of students running riot in towns and cities all over the country as they celebrate the results.
FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS AFTER THE RESULTS. Media again full of stories about lack of accommodation and the prices being charged. ( this may change slightly now that Joe Duffy is gone) This competition for comparative misery will culminate around November when someone announces that they are spending twenty six hours every day travelling by bus from Donegal to Waterford rather than pay the asking price of a thousand euros per week for a space under the stairs in a house there.
NEXT YEAR. Rinse and repeat. 😩

Windows 10 and above have a Night light setting which allows you to reduce the amount of blue light your screen emits in the evening before you sleep. There are also apps for your phone that do the same.

Phones sitting beside your bed are a major distraction and temptation.

Buy yourself a cheap alarm clock, leave the phone in the living room.

Again got a set up email in Irish,translate to English. Are these people in denial or something?

Now I know this is really trivial but it does annoy me. Shops using traffic bollards for advertising. Absolute overkill in many cases when the shopfront and windows are already plastered with the same stuff.
