    My microwave clock which is directly above the oven loses time like this so they are always different within a day or so of me adjusting it. Very definition of a trivial annoyance.

    If I didn’t need them to work the appliances I’d put tape over one of them!

    I’ll take that over the cashiers in my local who have a conversation with each other while I’m paying for my groceries

    Or ones having a conversation in a foreign language on a headset.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Google trending results… Yellow Rain Warning.

    WTF… the rain will be yellow!?!

    Oh wait, no it means it's a yellow level warning for rain.

    I find "have a good day/nice day" ok to be honest. At least the person is making an effort at friendly service. It beats "are you ok?" as the opening greeting. That one really annoys me and sounds so indifferent.

    supposed to be getting a delivery today, a new wallet. despite being ordered 8 days ago now it’s yet to be dispatched. There is a note on the website of this UK retailer that Irish clients may experience delays due to a contract courier here going bust ( Fastway ) but it’s months since they folded. 🧐

    Courier / logistics is competitive with rakes of options. Because one you are using goes to the wall how can you be so incompetent not to have a backup / contingency ? the item weighs .2 of a kilogram..put it in a jiffy bag, seal it, label it and give it to a courier or mail company, it’s that simple..a multinational too. 😵‍💫 I want to give you money in return for giving me my order, how can it be this complicated?!

    You don't have to go far to see absolute crap.

    I got a reply on social media. Turns out not to be a courier issue but a general incompetence/disinterested issue..

    “ apologies for the delay your order is currently processing in our warehouse, please allow more time..”

    so 9 days since I ordered it and “ please allow more time…” for ‘processing’…

    Sold something on adverts yesterday for 12 euro, lad came to pick it up and gave me a handful of coins that I didn't count until he was gone.

    2 euro short. Not a huge amount or anything, just the cheek of him!

    Couple of neighbours out spending their time and effort on a warm enough Saturday cutting all the grass verges and doing cleanup…3.45 pm and they’re going since about 10.45 this morning ….the grass was getting on to be measured in feet not inches such has been the disinterest and derogation of Dublin City council…who haven’t shown up to do it since covid, probably having seen community’s step in during the pandemic some smart assed manager had a lightbulb moment 💩💡
