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.

I take my young daughter to the park all the time and never get any funny looks. I often see other fathers there with their children too.

Yeah, same as. That sounds like a hell of a lot of projecting right there.

Pfft, I know a guy who was asked to leave the playground because he was 'looking at the children'. When he challenged this the woman who asked him to leave said he was making her uncomfortable. And all because he was watching to make sure his daughter was safe in the playground.

That's projecting, is it?

I love onion, but chomping down on half-golfball sized lumps is unpleasant :mad:

Jeez some people are insane. As if any paedophile is gonna be looking for kids in a playground in daylight anyway. Sadly they are far more calculating and sneaky. Should have pointed out to her that, statistically at least, her paranoia would have been better served directed at family members.

When you're eating an egg sambo and have managed to detach yourself from the fact that its like a chickens well...ovum

and its quite tasty and then you spot a red fleck on a piece of the white. Bleurgh.... Gag :pac:

Oh and on the park thing, people who keep their kids locked up indoors all winter with an xbox while dog walkers brave the elements and stand in the local park being lashed and wind beaten so that the dog can exercise...them come summer they all trump in with the little darlings and give you dirty looks cause you are there with a dog, or glare at you while she is doing her business lest you dare not clean it. I always clean up after mine but I swear some people actually want you to try catch it as it falls or something. You can't even get 10 seconds grace before the looks start lol

It drives me nuts when people call items by a brand name, like when people call their runners their 'Nikes' etc. I spotted it a lot when I worked in the States.

Ah no it wouldn't happen with any regularity or anything, but it's happened a few times alright like when I had dropped my wife off at the airport and the child was bawling his eyes out because he couldn't go with her. We got on the bus and the female driver was asking all sorts of questions before she gave me our tickets. I understood WHY she was doing it, commendable in itself, but fcuk me that was one awkward 25 mile bus trip and she glancing back in the mirror every so often at the inconsolable child! I was surprised she didn't have the Gardai waiting at our stop! :pac:

Things went from bad to worse when I figured while my wife was away I'd take him down to one of those indoor amusement places with the ballpark and slides... Jaysus, I was lucky I brought a newspaper so I could fend off the glares off some of the women there!

Actually the park was the only place where nobody seemed to give a shìte!

Couple of years ago in Dunnes Stores alright there were a few raised eyebrows of onlookers when he misbehaved and I picked him up, lobbed him over my shoulder and walked out! I figured I wasn't too concerned what they thought, taking the child out of the situation was the priority!

People using hashtags on #facebook #really annoying

People using facebook in a crowded college library when exam / assignment time is looming and computer facilities are already scarce. These are usually people doing arts degrees who have nothing better to do.

People who write on another person's wall "PM chick xoxox" Really annoys me, Christ, the recipient can damn well already see she has a pm :mad:

People who don't let you merge into lanes and would rather drag race you down the road shoving you onto the cycle lane/hardshoulder than let you in...

Never once in my life have I seen anything like that. You must live in a very paranoid neighbourhood.

Tbf, that's a pretty regular occurrence and has happened to every parent at some point. People are going to stare at the child and parent, man and woman, no matter what.

Trivial? When you don't have time for dinner before you've to go to college, my wife asks me do I want some of her chips before I go, so I grabbed a handful running out the door...

Near choked on it! The girl sure does like vinegar on her chips, whereas me I can't stand vinegar and I'm not allowed salt.

I'm convinced she's trying to bump me off! :pac:

That new republic of loose song is an abomination. sounds like some drunk 40 year old who can't sing making it up as he goes along while his halfwit brothers mangle the instruments.

I genuinely thought it was a gift grub sketch or something the first time i heard it.

Thought republic of loose was a telly show. Had a quick youtube there.. I recognise most of their shíte as background noise, without ever having noticed i was listening to them over the years...

Being asked to enter my "PIN Number"... at the "ATM Machine"!

Oops see this was posted already. But it is very annoying:-)

When people quote a post and write a short, meaningless yet dismissive comment underneath, e.g. "Rubbish", "Nonsense". As though that's actually making a point.

Regardless of what the quoted post was about, I almost always decide to take that side of the argument just so I can try to annoy the "Rubbish" person.

I'm sorry but I just, I just don't get it. How can entering you pin at an atm be annoying?

PIN is an achronym for 'personal identification number' therefore being asked for a 'personal identification number' number, is for some, annoying.

PIN= personal identification number
ATM = automatic teller machine

It's repetitive to say PIN number and ATM machine.

I don't mind having to step out on the road to get around them tbh. I got too close to a power walker once when I was intending to pass her and she hit me a back slap in the nads by accident.

She wasn't even aware I was behind her and she apologised for it but luckily it wasn't hard enough to do any damage (the slap I mean, not... :pac:).
