    Went for dinner tonight, just to the front bar of a local hotel. I've been having a really tough time lately, and my dad is pretty ill in hospital, so among other things, I wasn't exactly doing cartwheels with the joys of life.

    So, I got up to the bar, standing waiting to pay, when this aul lad, slobbering into his pint turns to me and says "will ya cheer up it might never happen", I said excuse me and he repeated it again.

    So, by now I had two choices.
    1- smile and say nothing
    2- make him uncomfortable as hell.

    Obviously, I chose option 2. So, I said to him "oh it's already happened". And he does, oh did he dump you did he? "No my fathers seriously ill, happy?".

    Stuck him to the chair, he didn't know what to say at first but apologised for saying it to me as I was leaving.

    Hopefully he'll think twice before saying such an ignorant thing again to a complete stranger. Asshat

    Well, what he did was pretty trivial, and it did annoy you, so you're in the right thread anyway! :-)

    Good for you. I hate people like that. Not content with being grinning fuucks themselves, they have to infect the rest of society with their misplaced mania. They usually have very little to be happy about anyway. You did the right thing making him think about his throwaway comment. Hope your Dad gets better soon.

    Disagree. You definitely should have went with option 1. How dare he like... =-O How on earth is he to know your situation? World would be a pretty dull world if people never conversed in social places.


    On the contrary, I think the world would be a much better place if people stopped annoying others who clearly want to be left alone. He doesn't need to know the posters situation, he just needs to have some respect and not come out with stupid comments such as "cheer up it might never happen". This is enough to make me mad even if I am in a good mood to start with! If he was so concerned about the poster he might say, "hey are you alright, you look a bit down" and take a cue as to whether she wants to talk or be left alone (and I dont think a reasonable person would react badly to that) but tis bullsh1t of vomiting out lines such as "oh cheer up" or "why the long face" is simply empty, meaningless claptrap.

    The irony of someone coming onto a thread called "trivial things that annoy you" in order to be trivially annoyed by the purported irony of the trivial annoyances therein. :D

    Fussy eaters really really bug me. Before i continue let me say that Im a bit of a freak in so much as i will and do eat absolutely anything and everything so long as it is a recognised human food.
    So Im not talking specifically about people who dont eat stinking weeping cheeses that smell dead or lava vindaloos or chocolate ants. No. Im on about the 'I dont eat rice/pasta/spuds' brigade or the 'Is there garlic in this thing i have just enjoyed half of?.. Oh i dont like garlic!! (Pushes plate away).
    What gives!!!! DONT LIKE RICE!!! SO IF YOU LIVED IN CHINA YOU WOULD STARVE!!!!
    I know that the "Irish mammy' of a certain era ruined many many foods for us by simply boiling it to death into a flavourless nutritionless mush but for the love of jebus people get over it and enjoy food!!!


    Phew.....

    some people genuinely can't stomach the taste of loads of food. I hate most food taste wise to the point where I'l get sick.


    I hate how people tell me I don't enjoy the taste of food then watch them slather about 10 different things that changes how the food tastes!

    Thats often called 'cooking' which is what makes food taste nice.

    No it isnt.......


    I cant find a reference to sauces or steak in your previous post. You simply spoke of adding thing to food to alter the taste. That could very well be cooking.
    Im yet to see anyone add more than one sauce to a steak and usually at the cooking stage like when you make a cracked pepper sauce on the steak pan....yummmmm

    Unless you have a food allergy or irritable bowel then then actually feeling sick about lots of food makes you a fussy eater. This is learned behaviour. I could cook you rice, pasta, spuds etc in half a dozen different ways all of which will taste vastly differently.
    No skin off my nose and more nice food for me!!!!:D


    Edit. Just twigged to the line in bold!! Really???? That actually sound a little serious if not being exaggerated.:confused:

    I would not treat this as trivial.....MOST food makes you sick?

    The 10 things? are you referring to salt, pepper etc ?

    Trivial thing that annoys me:
    Alphas being cancelled!

    It was a kinda X Men lite. Folk with minor abilities (Not powers dontcha know).
    One character could ramp up any one of her 5 senses to super human levels at the temporary loss of the other 4. In one episode she lost control of the power and a hot bad lady planted a big Lesbot snog on her which nearly killed her.... and me....

    One Euro coins getting stuck in shopping trolleys.

    Shopping trolleys with a wonkey wheel.

    Automatic doors into and out of shops that take for fookin ever to open. Also those metal arm yokes that are in Aldi and Lidl, German engineering? I think not. You walk up to it, it's supposed to swing open to let you in, and it just sits there. Have to remember to wear 'a cup' everytime I go in there now, need to look after the old kahoonas.

    Over sensitive alarm systems placed at the exits of shops. They seem to have only two settings, let shoplifters out and go off every time a legit customer goes through after standing for fookin ages at the automatic checkout, having paid for your booze and groceries.

    Roadworks that start two weeks before Christmas.

    There are too many USB connections now. Male, female, full size, mini, etc etc. Just manufacturers taking the piss.
