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.

You can't embed pics in AH

Errrr......why not? If it's not pornography or inappropriate in any way, why not?

Anyway, the reason I asked is because it seems that this thread was in danger of being derailed by a discussion about shoes

I'd like to bring it neatly back on track......

You can add embed tags [img][/img] and it'll show up on the touch site, but not on the desktop site.

Not my favorite material by a long shot, but I find crepe/rubber soles the most comfortable and durable. I was glad to discover it doesn't burn my feet either. They make most styles, colours and heel heights now,(tho not Court) Some very flattering. Great for everyday wear. '

I really should put a pair on now and bob along to the shops.

Didn't pay too much for the boots- about €50 marked down from €125 if memory serves me right- but I'm annoyed by the fact that the heel fell apart in the space of about 8 months. Me and shoes have a tempestuous relationship...

I have a pair of boots I bought years ago, I get them healed and toed fairly regularly (every year maybe) before they get to a point of no return, and I'll have them for many years to come.

Sure didn't you get two years out of them with daily use? Pretty good going if you ask me.

Same I'd be happy out getting a year of daily wear out of shoes or runners. I tend to get adidas ones, the flat classic looking ones, last ages.

Cold callers. I know they're just trying to earn a living, but it annoys me. The other day is was Eircom and my husband was asleep as he was on nightshift. I didn't answer the door as I wasn't going to buy whatever he was selling, then he came back that evening, still didn't answer the door.

Interesting but true - when I moved to my current gaff back in September I was on the phone(on hold of course) about to sign up for Eircom broadband. Knock on the door at that very moment and lo and behold, it was an Eircom rep asking if I needed broadband! I no kid! T'was handy.

Methinks she spent silly money on them and expected more than two years!

I bought a pair of DC trainers near on three years ago. Cost perilously close to 200 nicker and only just about to chuck them out now! Amazeballs! DC you have my loyalty!

Trivial thing that annoys me - Nike trainers. Expensive, relatively uncomfortable, don't last very long and most are hideous. Especially luminous coloured "do they-glow-in-the-dark?" ones.

Might seem a bit trivial to everyone else but this is a major bug-bear with me:
Shoes with soles that wear out too quickly. I bought a lovely pair of black leather ankle boots (biker style) in Evans last year and they had a small 2 inch heel on them-nothing major, just a small one.
Anyways, through near daily wear and tear, the heel is virtually gone as the 3 layers of glorified cardboard that made it up all peeled and fell away. The undersole is now starting to wear and I find it's getting uncomfortable to walk in them.
Granted, I could be lucky by taking them to the shoe repairman in Swords Village but it irritates the hell out of me that the only sole that can stand up to my inbalance-induced wear and tear is that of a Doc Marten boot.
Don't get me wrong, I love my Docs but they don't always go with everything and I always feel a bit butch wearing them.
The boots I got in Evans were feminine looking and classy, comfortable and could be worn both casually and dressed up but they're pretty wrecked now. Can only hope that the repairman is a miracle worker as I really don't want to have to throw them out.

I never buy anything from cold callers. I hate the fact that most, if not all, service providers are sending reps door to door. I have the internet, if I want to see what they're offering I'll look online, or phone them.

Same, I never answer the door, the only people who ever call are friends or the landlord and they always ring or text ahead, if there's unexpected knock on the door 100% its a salesman. I dont even care if they can see me on the couch, not answering.

Go to see a movie?

Er.....Anything else you could be doing....?

Like what? We're hardly going to go out and get pissed seeing as we'll be back on the clock for the kids by 5pm and we both get enough opportunity to socialise with friends separately. Or did you have something else in mind for us to do?!

We haven't been to the cinema together in about 3 years since having the kids as when we do get babysitters it just tends to be something we don't do, preferring instead to go for a nice meal or a few drinks so we thought it would be nice. Just in case you're worrying about us we will also make sure to make the most of this annual leave day by having a nice lie in once the kids head off to creche and a spot of lunch in a nice restaurant before the film

People who can't sit through a film without munching, crunching, rustling, slurping and guzzling. They also often decide the most tense and dramatic moment of a film would be a good time to root at the bottom of the bag to see if there's any maltesers left.
Even the IFI, which used to be a guzzle free zone, has been affected. The amount of people rustling through sweet bags during Inside Llewyn Davis last night was crazy.

I know I probably posted this on the earlier thread but...people standing in an entrance/ exit to have a big chat, oblivious to the fact that people actually need to get in and out! I was going into a building this week with a swipe device by the entrance. Four people were standing at the door, having a major chinwag, and managing to block the door, plus access to the swipe device!

Even worse when they're all puffing on cigarettes.

In the local Tesco there and there was some piece of work paying for her goods. She had a baby blue velour tracksuit on, big furry uggs and large hoop earings, made up with some orange cement to within an inch of her life. Beside her was a very tiny baby in a pram that would probably only fit into a disabled parking spot - we're talking white patent leather, matching baby bag, huge wheels etc. As if that wasn't amusing enough, her parenting seemed to extend as far as "Ah jaysis Shakira stop cryin'" :eek:
