Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Retail business with multiple shops here and hundreds across the EU, who in 2026 have no system for potential customers to check in store stock online and when I phone them it rings out, not even given the option of holding. No email address or chat feature they want me to use social media to contact them ffs.

Could chance a visit tonight but it’s for a specific item, a new wallet, same as my old one which i got almost two decades ago but is now falling apart. An hour plus round trip so wanna know they have one I’m after. But when the dweebs won’t pick up the phone 🤪

When you hold a door open for somebody, and the ignorant prick doesn't acknowledge your consideration for them.

After a short period of financial "stretch" things have righted themselves again, soon as it cleared I got some cash and almost ran across town and bought some mouse alarms(yes I know but, a sanity saving exercise) I cannot say how much better I feel now they are plugged in and blinking.

Ta that I'm so old that when I get my hands of some money I buy mouse alarms and happy for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dfuk that happen????????????????????

Amazon are far too efficient 😀

I ordered an item this morning around 8 but on reflection I didn't actually need it, went just there now to cancel when the dispatched email came in, wasn't expecting that with the free postage.

I could return it I suppose but that's more hassle for €26

Senior manager ringing me out of the blue (I WFH) then complaining I don't turn my camera on. I hadn't been arsed brushing my hair this morning and was not expecting any calls. I do turn it on for meetings with externals etc..

They had theirs on and I got a good look at them eating their breakfast (and hearing it.)

I'm pretty sure the topic will come up in the next team meeting....

Yes it was pretty gross. I minimised the window but I still had to hear. I refuse to eat on calls whether video or not, I just think it's bad etiquette.

My TA for today is folks who think its ok to block your driveway whether its only for a minute or longer even though they are not calling to you and then get upset when you ask them to move because you are going out.

Had forty quid change on a Dunnes self service. It still managed to throw out thirty five quid and a fiver in change.

and guess what, went there and they didn’t have them in stock. The shop despite it being Saturday and busy was staffed to the bare bones, shop is on two levels and I saw a grand total of two staff running between tills and trying to help people out, 🤕 won’t be giving them anymore business on principal, not a wasted trip as got a good haircut in my regular barber which is 2 minutes away from there.
