Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Hello Borky my old friend…

I get what you're saying but I'm smirking a bit because I was in Adrigole a couple of months back and worked in Calverstown, although many many years ago, was more of a townsland then 😁

looked at my TikTok inbox for the first time in months, the sheer volume of spam, scam, weirdness and just 😵👀.. there just doesn’t seem to be any effective moderation on that site….

I must have deleted about 200 messages and blocked as many accounts. Not the most fun way to spend 25 minutes but needs must…

Temu - adding stuff you don't really need to make up the minimum order to get the item you want.

That's like when myself and herself got all ready to go to a concert in the 3Arena, left work early, drove the whole way in, 50 mins. Parked 20 mins away for free parking, walked, walking across the bridge we noticed the place was all shut up and no one around.

And realized the concert was on the next day.

🙄

Reversed all that, and did it all again the next day.

😝

Work related TA: having to sift through a pile of cut-off notices to deliver by Friday. Seemingly its the SIXTH time this year the electricity has been cut in this particular area. Between holiday homes with no-one currently residing in them, and the sheer amount of duplicates, its an unenviable task that can't be done in an easy way.

TikTok shows how far down the rabbit hole society has gone. Both kinds of rabbit holes, metaphorically speaking. The twisting, neverending, time sucking, head wrecking maze; and the one poo comes from. 😁

ordered a hard to get condiment online. Arrived and they are not the regular household 284 ml size that I’ve been getting elsewhere. They are instead 200ml that you often see on tables in restaurants. Annoyed at myself initially for not copping it but going back to their website & there is ZERO mention on the product page of what size the bottles are… I’ve never seen 200ml outside a restaurant so presumed it was the 284ml…. Funny, all the other condiments and sauces they sell have the size soooo, one would guess they’ve deliberately omitted this to mislead people.

My tumble dryer beeps when the load is finished. Great idea! It's good to get the heads up, you might think. Except it keeps beeping every few minutes until I go deal with it. And its a loud, smug beeping too! Seriously, I feel so judged!! 😪

That and is connected to the internet.

FFS You need to connect some cookers, washing machines, fridges and dishwashers to the internet so you can access all the features.

Postman has just arrived. Joy of joys I've finally got an appointment for the Ear Nose and Throat Department. I was referred by my doctor because I have a problem in my nose, a flap of skin in my nose that can block my breathing.

The appointment is for a hearing test?

New TA :-) You can ring and ring and ring but no one answers. Not really worried I'm not going to die its just something that would be nice to get sorted out. Called hospital at least 10 times including different numbers and left msgs but no answers. Checked with doctors surgery and they made the correct request.

You might be able to program the tumble dryer - to change/remove the sound.
Check the manual. Pressing some strange combination of buttons on the panel might display a configuration menu.
