Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

That is some heavy rain.

Also coffee and anxiety go together like Democrats and Republicans.

proper stormy out there, serious wind and rain…my little dîckhead neighbour has gone on a trip and left her cat outside… earlier her grandmother was down presumably to feed it, its still outside..
Her social media as in her ‘X’ is great craic….The most right on, holier then thou sister, moralising on everything and at everyone, the best little environmentalist, women’s rights, this cause / that cause but just can’t be arsed looking after her pet, grand it gets blown all over the garden and soaked to bits eh…

unfortunately there is about an 8.5 ft wall between both gardens so getting to the cat will not be safe or practical in the dark and especially with that wind…

Tonights TA, being granted a whopper of a ONE EURO discount on a bulk heathcare product order that came to €99.40, so I’m paying €98.40…. Jeeez they’ve really guaranteed a lifetime of repeat custom with that doozy of a whopping level of corporate generosity… 🤦🏻‍♂️

I was in Lidl earlier, finished shopping, I usually pay by card, but had some cash on me and decided to use it. I got short changed, decided not to say anything as it was less than a Euro, and there was a long line of people in the queue. I had to ask for the receipt as well, but that was because I bought an electrical product, and you never know.

Anyway, that's not the worst of it. Was about to head out the exit, picked up one of their leaflets and I hear this loud voice saying "Can you order me a taxi?" This woman probably in her 60's, just goes up to the checkout ahead of everyone to the teller. He looked confused, I don't blame him. She repeats it again, "Can you order me a taxi? It shouldn't be a problem." No manners whatsoever, no please.

Then goes over to another checkout, same story. Demands to see management. The girl on the checkout, talks with management on her headset, asking can we get her a number for a taxi. She's polite and says, sorry, we don't have a number. The aul wan then walks out, goes by me and I can hear her swearing, "the f###ing cheek".

Strange, because that's exactly what I was thinking about her. She comes back a minute or so later and roars in to a friend that was still in there "(name), there's a taxi here." Her friend then goes out to her.

It's not Lidl's job to order her a taxi. And what would have happened if they did ring her a taxi, the taxi driver turns up, but she's already gone with another one?

I'm doing a bit of window shopping at work.

I do not work in Romania.

It says I'm in London which is correct. I'm using an incognito window on a Windows PC at work.

Just a thought, any chance someone in Romania was using your account? Check you haven't ordered any Amazon Gift Cards recently?

I wasn't logged into my Amazon account. I think everything's fine on that front. Hopefully.

When you see "new improved recipe" on an packets of items you buy like soup. Usually it means that they have cut back on the ingredients and made it taste like crap to increase profits.

I was wondering myself as I didn’t hear or see it this morning but home 10 minutes ago and it’s while not to be seen you can certainly hear it.

TA.. Chicken Kiev for lunch that had more bone then meat.

I emailed two car dealerships in the past few weeks.

One company said they offered a scrappage scheme and I asked for a litttle more info on it. They just sent me back the Donedeal ad.

Another dealership I asked was the VAT/VRT/etc paid. I got back a very generic reply with no answer.

I get the impression they just want you to phone them. So, they can push a test drive on you.

I’m presuming so as the grandmother of the young wan living there is seen calling in..how often is another thing…

TA.. Installed the latest software update for my tablet and all of a sudden the thing is charging at a snails pace. Just in case.. I swapped over to brand new charging cable out of the box and changed the USB plug and no difference….

It’s an older piece of kit now 7-8 years old but I love it and have looked after it with kid gloves. Why the fukkk do these tech companies from time to time release updates that actually dis-improves the performance of stuff ?

mental…🪫
