Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

reading a weather summary for later today and the next few days on met dot ie…. Complete with several spelling errors, bad grammar, use of slang terminology and missing punctuation… A couple of examples from the same report…

“Aty the moment,” “The best oaf any bright intervals will be in the east.”

Almost like it was written by the 14 year old on work experience but that is probably unfair on 14 year old doing work experience.. 😵‍💫

We were driving and looking at petrol prices as we passed them . We filled a tank at the cheapest at €1:84 ( by no means cheap but the cheapest we saw ). I rang my son to say it was the cheaper one and by the time he got his coat and went down it had gone up to €1:88 in my space of minutes

Diesel has gone mad for some reason. ,€2.07 at a local station.

completely irrelevant ads… just like this page has

It's a thoroughbred I'm afraid.

People who tell you a story and use the phrase "and I was like" before every sentence or have to put on a voice to imitate the person they are telling you about.

Social media videos where a person says "I'm gonna go ahead and…" whilst they do something, and repeat the phrase for every thing they end up doing. We can see what you're doing you moron! You don't need to announce it.

I had a tweed clad fellow cold call to the front door, trying to sell me an aerial photo of my own house. You know that type of kitsch image that you'd of seen hanging on a pub wall in the 80's. I listened as he spouted out his sales talk while he was simultaneously trying to get me to hold the pic. I was like "How much"? He said €250 for a 5 inch up to €1000 for the largest one, frames are extra. I said, my son's drone can take the exact same picture for nothing and the drone itself didn't even cost €200. The bloke gets a bit angry and says, "these are high resolution images taken from an aeroplane!" I was like "so what? The drone takes 4k pics that i could get printed in town on a glossy A3 for a tenner, they wouldn't look much different to what you have there". He angrily walks back to his car, raises his voice saying "you don’t know the difference between a quality item and a piece of crap then do you? You haven't got a fcukin clue you prick! I laughed and closed the door.

Was thinking afterwards, you'd be concerned that dick might use that kind of angry, hard sale tactic on more frightened vulnerable folk.

I think it's because they don't pay HD broadcast fees.

When the camera pans out it's like this …

Well not quite true. RTE channels are fine on Saorview. HD. I googled and looks like Virgin don't pay fees for higher quality broadcast.

True. They should have to broadcast in HD, for an Ireland rugby match IN Ireland, especially considering the ad money they make off that broadcast. Otherwise it should go to rte or tg4.
