Trivial things that annoy you

El Guapo!

As the title says, what seemingly trivial things bug you?

There's plenty for me, but lately its a spoon.

In the top drawer in the kitchen we have all the cutlery in one of those tray things that everyone has. Everything's in its own little section. But there's one bastard spoon doing my head in.
I have no idea where it came from or why it's even there.
The problem is, it's too big to be a small spoon.....but too small to be a big spoon. I never know what section to put it in, and every time I open the drawer.........there it is. Mocking me.

I fúcking hate that spoon.

As a writer I need to research stuff, sometimes online, other times I need to speak to professionals in various 'fields.'
Some years ago I contacted the Garda Museum for some simple historical information. When they eventually bothered to reply, it was to refer me to the PSNI.
They answered immediately, and even invited me to visit Belfast, where I would be provided with all the information/documents I needed.

On another project and needed the advice of a Locksmith as what I had written was somewhat technical. It 'sounded' legit, but still...I wanted it to be accurate.
I printed out what I had written for him to cast his professional eye over. I offered to pay but he said there would be no charge for his help. I gave him my phone number, email address etc.
When he didn't contact me as promised I called to his shop a few times, and he had either lost the pages (which I replaced more than once) and he 'would get back to me'.
That's three years ago and not word yet.

As a locksmith at the Garda museum, I find your post offensive on a number of different levels.

People who ask questions all the time.....
....not because they want to know the answer, but because they have nothing to say themselves.....

Its like, they cant think of anything to say, so they just ask you questions instead.

In other words, they want you to carry the conversation.

And then when you get bored of this rigmarole, you are the one at fault for being rude ....."I'm just trying to make conversation"....no you're not, you're asking me to do it because you can't/ won't.

Hashtags

#iamtheking and especially in that last one where several words are merged together into only ugly scrambled egg of letters

But occasionally it comes up trumps like when Susan Boyle's Album Launch had the hashtag #susanalbumparty

Green Giant

Hashtags

Especially in something like "beat the mighty Pa in a drinking contest #banter #beast #14pints3vodkas #iamtheking" and especially in that last one where several words are merged together into only ugly scrambled egg of letters

Worse still is when it seeps into platforms other than Twitter

Picture it: you're driving down a straight road, the car in front wants to turn right at a junction ahead. Grand, he puts on his indicator, moves to the right, you move to the left to go past him.
But the idiot thinks he's driving an articulated truck, not a nissan micra. He thinks there's not enough room for his massive car to simply just turn right. He has to swerve left first. Or he thinks he's in a rally car and he needs to flick the back out.
Why the hell do people do it? If you're going into a narrow parking space, grand, you need to line it up. But you don't need to do it on a normal poxy junction!

Media commentators and 'personalities' who bend over backwards to pronounce foreign people's names in the accent of their native countries. Two things annoy me about this:
1) would foreign people make any attempt to pronounce my name in an Irish accent if I was in theor country ? I doubt it.
2) they all use a generic 'foreign' accent regardless of where the person is from.

Wαnkers.

The delay between the TV and radio commentary is one of my pet hates too - but not for the Gaeilge I can understand that fine - it for the crap commentators like Canning that I want to avoid.

Am I missing something - I thought ariels were a thing of the past and everything was Digital now. Was that not all the point of the Saorview???

Get an Enigma based satellite box, it will allow you delay the radio or TV signal to get it in sync.

Things that annoy me would be
People getting dodgy Sky or Cable and boasting about it, it's theft.
People having their Sky HD connected to scart and saying how great the picture is.
People who have their Sky box set to 4:3 when they have a 16:9 TV.
People complaining about the price of stuff that they don't NEED to have.

When you hear what you think are the first few bars of Dusty Springfields Goin' Back from the old ESB ad and then realise its actually just an ad for a new car with some kid going on about how her dad is her hero

**Vai**

People on adverts who dont get back to you. Do they not like money or what?
