Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

Hope it's okay to start the new thread (not sure if mods have to do it).

I posted this right at the end of the last thread so just carrying it over as it has me driven demented.

I have a question on this subject.

People that just launch dishes into the dishwasher - there is a system. Always results in it having to be rearranged before you can fit everything in.

Or you stop and they wave you across but at the same time you're waving them on and then you both attempt to go at the same time and continue doing that dance twice more and look like eejits :P

Or the other one when you are walking along the street and someone is walking towards you, you move to the left to let them past and they move to the left also. You move to the right and they move to the right, WTF is going on with that? You both grin at each other out of embarasement and go on your way.

But you know what else I've noticed?
For the magazine puzzles that are open to ROI residents, I have NEVER seen an Irish person winning anything.
I've been buying the English magazines for 14 years and I regularly skim the Winners section and I can tell you, I've never seen one Irish winner.

I reckon if they pull a ROI resident out of the hat, they pick an English winner instead cos it's less hassle.

I won 50 pounds in Take a Break a few years ago:D Tried to enter the Chat magazine entry online the other night and it's only set up for UK residents even though the rules state it's open to Irish entrants. Wouldn't pay for a stamp though, if I can't enter online I'm not entering:mad:

Clicked into the wrong damn thread, which ironically enough became the right thread, well, for this post anyway!

Now I'm off to the thread I meant to click into!

Standard Toaster

When you open the DVD case and it's empty or, even worse, a different movie is in it.

I HATE when people think they can skip the queue at a petrol station just because they have the exact 50e for their petrol.....you are paying for something! Queue like the rest of us!

Mothers cursing at their kids....
People thinking kids using bad language is funny...

There, Their, They're..........

My flatmate has a bad cold at the moment and instead of blowing his nose, he sniffs the snot back up every 30 seconds or so. God it is annoying. I have started passing the tissues to him and saying blow your nose ffs

The worst bit is I sit there all tense waiting for the next 'back-sniff'.

One of the disgusting eaters in work is now doing this. You all might see me on the news this evening if this goes on much longer.

Not really my problem, but a trivial annoyance ....

My OH has appointment to see the "downstairs" doctor, so that morning, extra long shower, a bit of a tidy up "below", nice fresh undies and off to the doc. All that effort, and what does the doc do? PUTS ON A PAIR OF RUBBER GLOVES!!!

The nerve of some people.....................

People who have to reverse into a parking space and take ages to maneuver into it while you wait to get past them. Just drive into the ****ing space and reverse out!

This really is trivial, but somehow still annoys me

When you're about to turn right on a long stretch of road, but one car is approaching you and there's not enough room to turn before they pass. Then they slow down, and flash you to let you make the turn - despite there being nothing behind them and it would actually be quicker if they just kept bloody driving at normal speed.

I know they're only trying to be nice. What's wrong with me?

Not so much now because of the internet, but if I bought a CD and the leaflet inside didn't have the song lyrics it would give me the rage.

How everyone on deal or no deal is emotionally over invested.

How people on deal or no deal believe that the numbers mean something to them and their method will actually work. Saw some eejit on it once and most of the numbers were related to his beloved Arsenal players. Think he went home with 100 squid.

It's totally random lads, pure fluke.

went to the pharmacy to get a new moisturiser as my previous was leaving my skin real greasy all day lately.
she gave me a night moisturiser which apparently also leaves my skin feeling greasy all day so i'm at the same situation as before just down a tenner

also, being a man and having to buy moisturisers

--edit

also there being "night" and "day" moisturisers. jesus christ, why.

Like another poster from the previous thread who had their clothes dirtied by a kid with grubby hands- parents who don't control their children!. Coming home from the school and a parent was letting young kids run ahead and they ran into me, I wiped my coat off and rolled my eyes and shook my head in a "control your kids" passive aggressive manner cause I'm a bitch like that, the mam goes "wait til you have kids love, you want be so precious about looking perfect then"- eh I do have a child, she's in school on time and if she wasn't she'd be holding my hand not running around while I lag behind because I'm too lazy to be a parent.

Okay people, heading into another day of being surrounded by these people with no manners.
Can I say something to them and what can I say? I don't want to be rude or embarrass anyone but I also need it to stop! Help!

Yeah, say something by all means, and they might self-consciously make an effort to tone it down - but they'll forever after think you're a di*k

- and your everyday dealings with them will be awkward (even though you're right, they probably are gross).

I have a question on this subject.

I work with 2 women who eat their food like toddlers. I mean eating with their mouth wide open, jiggling hot food around in their mouth, talking and laughing with their mouth full of food.

It makes my skin crawl! I actually had to leave my lunch without finishing it and leave the office because I just couldn't sit there listening to them.

Would it be rude of me to say something to them? They both sit next to each other and are quite friendly so I was thinking of saying something to them together. Can I?

Getting music stuck in your head right as you're trying to go to sleep. It always happens to me if I've had too much screen time during the day, and it's always just a couple of bars of something stupid and random. Today I've been listening to The Bee Gees, Miley Cyrus (**** the haters, yo), Tunng, LCD Soundsystem and Tyler the Creator, and what does my brain come up with to keep me awake? The opening ten seconds of the Game Of Thrones theme tune on loop, of fcuking course.

I KNOW! It's like...if you're not gonna allow ROI residents to participate, don't sell your magazine here!
It's really irritating.

I love doing the magazine puzzles and it's disheartening to get to the Entry Form page only to see, in small print, those words OPEN TO UK RESIDENTS ONLY.
Same goes for sites offering free samples.

For the puzzles, Sign-up for Parcel Motel and pretend to be from the north. For magazines it would cost you €3.50 to receive each issue but that might still work out cheaper.
