Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

the fact that every stretch of shops around here now has groups of junkies and ne'er-do-wells hanging about after dark. Few short years ago that just wasn’t a thing. My preference and actually expectation is that wherever I go I can go about my business without attempted intimidation, interference, harassment etc… if you don’t know me, then mind your own business, stay away, don’t even say anything to me, don’t ask me for anything…

Why is it when you own a pair of gloves. You lose one glove and not both? Statistically that means 400-800m single gloves are lost each year if is is just one in ten.
But then the question is who do you point the finger at? Who is at fault ? The wearer or the manufacturer? Or is there a more sinister hand to blame?

The amount of Americans calling it St. Patty's day.

Trying not to be offensive in calling it Paddy's Day I suppose. OK for us,but might not go down well for others to use it.

Wouldn't be too precious about Patty,it just a day of drink and Paddywhackery. They put on a great show over there,can call it Dave for all I care.

You could try turning it into a trademark wearing a single glove.

It worked for Michael Jackson.

Agreed. I'd like to see Jessie replace Vogue Williams as the Grand Marshal for Dublin's St. Patrick's Day parade, regardless of whether she wins the Oscar tonight or not.

It's never too late to get rid of Vogue, I can't stand her. What's she done to deserve that role? Nothing. I'd rather see an inanimate carbon rod in the role than Vogue.

Clearly you don’t know many people from Kerry because ‘mom’ is very much how it’s said down there.

And she’s a bit of a dose, so what? Ireland’s never won Best Actress and you’d rather it stays that way because of what she calls her mother?

People who don't read instructions on websites and then don't listen to you when you try to explain why it's not working for them.

Family member sending Easter cards through one of those card sites and it turns into an nightmare. They try to put in the address and then click find address when it's set to UK, this is going on for about 5 mins and mutterings of "Why do I bother" and then gets onto me that the page is not working. I tell them use the manual address and then end up doing it myself because they won't listen. I hand it back and it gets to post code and they don't know what it is, I have to go find that and put it in. This happens 4 times, keeps going to the look for address, doesn't know eircode and by the end I'm fit to f*cking murder someone.

Likewise. Now I can't stop hearing about her.

The fireman's wife in Chernobyl, the first responder.

Didn't know that was her!

And honestly have never heard she is a singer too.

When people ask you for advice. Particularly when its about something you are qualified in and you know whatever you say they are going to completely ignore you.
