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.

"Baby on board" car stickers.

So what!? You have a baby, shall I go and congratulate you when I stop at the traffic lights?
Or should I be extremely careful while driving behind you because you have a baby there? Is that what you're saying? Or that you're a messy driver 'cos there's a baby screaming at you from the back seat?

I really don't get it.

Apparently they were introduced so that in the case of an accident, when it's possible that a baby seat could be thrown out of the car (apparently), the emergency services would know to go looking for a baby. Point totally defeated by the fact that most people leave them up permanently, regardless of whether the baby is actually in the car or not. Or, possibly that's all just an urban myth.

Baby on board signs still not as annoying as babe on board, though.

Even worse are people who fly out past you at a dangerous speed while sporting one of these stickers in the back window.

People who look at a photograph of you with hair all over the place, startled eyes and a goofy smile and say 'oh, that's a really good one of you'.
Or people who look at a photograph of you looking quite nice and say 'Is that you? God, I wouldn't have recognised you'.

Dipsos who stink of alcohol in the middle of the day. Waste of fuucking space.

Is that one of those six quid a pint places? Fuuck them and go somewhere that appreciates your custom....

It's one of those sh*t pubs that only sells Hoegarden and Bavaria and is infested with hipsters. I was there once about two years ago to meet a mate, and we both left after one pint and I vowed not to go back unless I had a flamethrower with me.

Coppinger Row are particularly bad!

Given that there is so much choice around, I just choose not to go back. I'm just not willing to put up with it and pay for the privelege! Many years ago I had a particularly bad experience in Brasserie 66 and I haven't darkened their door since!

Half an hour waiting to be served because I didn't have the right haircut, NHS glasses or Morrisey t-shirt. One barman blanked me three times when I asked for a pint, then I asked another prick and he told me there was no need for shouting!!

If I was actually shouting at him, he would have know about it.

I was watching the T.V. show Monk last night and at the end of the opening credits he's about to go out his front door when he turns around and replaces an umbrella to match the other two. This is ridiculous as anyone with his level of O.C.D. would never have placed the umbrella like that in the first place - now that's trivial.

When something's bothering you and you wake up really early and suddenly that thing comes into your head, then you cant get back to sleep for bloody thinking about it.

Too cool for school 'hipster' service from some waiting staff in many of the 'trendier' places around town. I'm not expecting to be fawned over but I expect my waiter or waitress to be courteous and to at least pretend to be interested!

People say kgs because it is a very apt initialisation of a longer work 'kilo' and 'gram' = kgs. Simple enough I think!

It makes sense to me because it is trivial and it annoys me. This is the place for trivial annoyances. if this was the place for "things that do not make sense" then that would make sense. Does that make sense?:p

People who say KG's, when referring to kilograms, as in baggage allowance is twenty KG's. It is written as twenty KG's but pronounced as kilos or kilograms. In the "old" days we did not say "20 LB's" we said it as 20 pounds, so there. Trivial but annoying.

Trivial annoyance for me, is when posters on boards don't know when to use an apostrophe!

Deliberately going to Starbucks for coffee because they make them cool enough to drink.straight away and then the girl giving you a piping hot coffee and you burn your tongue and dont have enough time to drink it before your appointment.

You see them on lamposts and bus stops around the place. I never read one in full, but its some kind of lefty group telling you that you cant be evicted for not paying your mortgage. Something about a legal determination blah blah.

Ah, thanks. Sounds like freeman rubbish.

Anyway, my extremely trivial annoyance this morning is AA roadwatch referring to the M7 as going North/South, when to my mind it's East/West. They also refer to the Limerick Tunnel as East/West when it's more North/South.

If I text someone, it's probably because I can't talk to them - at work/start of lecture etc, so them calling when they get the text is annoying because I usually can't answer them. I think people should take their cue for the method of communication from the instigator. If you text, they can text you back. Imagine if you called and instead of answering they cut you off and sent you a text because they preferred that mode of communication?

Urban planners - just make the fvcking paths in a straight line, thats how people go from A to B.

Oh look a grass patch between a shop and a directly facing school/workplace.
Lets make a big long path around the exterior.
For I am un-necessary walky man.

Waste of concrete, more mud on shoes, area now looks like sht.
