Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

They need to start making crisp bags smaller. It is getting stupid now when you open a bag and see all the empty space and just one cornerfull of crisps.

What the hell is going on with Northbound Irish rail services from Connolly station this week? Every single day this week the train has been running late.

Leaves.

Because I'm shopping in the local for multiple ppl currently, I get to the counter put the first set of items on the counter and get the rest out of the bag to put on the counter once I have paid/bagged the first round. I always start by saying "I'm paying for these separately".

No response but a worried look when I start to pick up the items while I wait for them to tell me the total, ffs its not like I didn't foresee this and said at the start the I was paying for these separately!!!!!!!!! * I was not gifted with a soft voice so no reason for them not to hear me.

Its grab and go place in the middle of things, I CANNOT be the only person buying for different ppl and paying separately. GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRR

Sometimes I wonder if its bc of my silvering hair and increasingly useless reproductive organs( if you know you know)

Its heartening to hear that I'm not the only one that gets messed about with logins and verification codes.

Recently set up an online banking account where they required more information like passport and recent bill. So this idiot thought that I could upload that info once I'd logged in. So try to log in and I get as far as the usual wait for the code page and after some effort got the code on my phone (have to go up the road for coverage) and put in the correct code. Get told something is wrong and to ring them. Turns out you can't log in until you have sent them the ID info in an email. So if I can't log in why tf did they send me a code to log in?

Badly designed websites. I designed a few for myself in my early infatuation with computers and the internet. Of course I sought advice on how to do it before I started. One piece of important advice I still recall: make sure the user can navigate easily. Avoid bells and whistles.

Now I frequently come upon sites which send you around in circles and sites full of clunky graphics. As space and speed expand, so does the content to fill it. Convenience, how are you?

Play YouTube on the phone you get one or two three second ads. Steam it to the TV however it's riddled with ads.

Ive had this, Dylon dye in the machine have them as new in a couple of hours( prob the same cost as buying new tho)

Ta the q's in the shops this afternoon, Ive been in the same shops under red warnings and not this busy, the youngsters going with slabs of monster make my spidies twitchy.

They are also illegal here. If the government actually enforced the laws here with fines (forget prison) then maybe they could pay for a better police service. Instead we give everyone the excuse: sure if X is ok, then why not Y. And we let society slide into oblivion.

"it is a crime to use fireworks in Ireland without a license, as the sale, possession, and use of most fireworks are illegal for the general public. Those caught can face up to five years in prison, a fine of up to €10,000, or both. Only low-hazard (F1) fireworks like party poppers and sparklers are generally permitted for public use."

Not a ta as such but: a couple of postings from the same user name on local freecycle, early detection pregnancy test, never used baby equipment(new born) and infant clothes.

Tells a story(ies) right there and I so want to give her a hug, but in this day and age that would be creepy!

Now that all the hype around Halloween is behind it, they can really ramp up the Xmas hype. 2 months of it.

elderly relation died days back but weirdly no info being shared from their family and still no listing on RIP,ie..nothing on the parish website or local undertakers one. No autopsy required as was an LTI.

Whilst it’s a difficult time, I’m sure everyone would appreciate the opportunity to reschedule stuff they’d planned next week, but nobody outside their immediate family has a clue what’s transpiring..🤔

Loads will need time off work, arrangements around family etc…
