Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

On Facebook, when people edit their posts/comments to correct a spelling/grammar mistake, but still leave other mistakes in.

People complaining about having 'insomnia' because they took a nap at 5pm and it's now 2am and they can't sleep! Poor souls.

F*cking pr*cks.

Worse than that are The Simpsons or Father Ted quotes. I can just about suffer them when they are used properly but more often than not they are just used to get thanks.

They were great shows but f**k me people, come up with something original.

Sorry Ted. :P

Well some people seem rather eager to have a buddy to chat while on the bus. I am not one of them. But I seem to attract them. It's like they are waiting for the moment of your weakness when you make eye contact or smile at them or say hello.
Yeah trivial thing that annoys me - people, who want to be bus buddies.

I usually just want to chill out when I'm on a bus. Usually it's because I'm going to or coming from somewhere stressful. So I just want to put in my earphones and tune people out. Nothing wrong with that. What really annoys me though, is when I see someone at the bus stop that I recognise from my town. Now I may have seen that person around the town for years and not taken any notice of them or them of me.

Why in the Hell would I want to talk to them now for fecks sake, just because we're waiting for the same bus isn't a reason to yak on at me about some party or wedding or whatever it is you've been shopping for, and no, I do not want to see what you bought today. I feel more anti-social the older I get.

I'm the same myself normally, earphones in, sunglasses on, I'm trying to concentrate on keeping calm...

Getting off the bus today though my bus buddy says, " Thanks for the two word conversation!", pure smartarse!

"No problem!"

Nobody likes a bore,:pac: I thought that's where Boards came in?, (often taken as an opportunity to say things you wouldn't say on a bus?).

I don't impose my conversation on anyone, and wouldn't have a problem, (politely) telling anybody, on a bus or otherwise, that I'm not feeling very chatty at the moment, Or that I need to use the journey time think.
I have met some really interesting people while commuting, One of them long since remained a close friend.

That's all about that.:)

Ihatecuddles · 26-02-2014 09:49PM

I've never chatted to a randomer on a bus, and I never have earphones in or anything.

I have on long journeys actually!

Oh don't get me wrong I've no problem talking to strangers. I've been "trained" well

I've met very interesting people and sometimes spend the whole flight or bus/train journey chatting about all sorts of things. It's the local commuting that gets me, it's just too much to bear. The number bus I take is filled with all sorts of individuals!

Like my friend, who will constantly complain that she's so tired because she "LITERALLY could not close my eyes at all", but five minutes later is telling me about how she's so upset today because of the terrible dream she had last night. That means you did sleep!

The people who go on about not getting enough sleep usually really mean that they're just tired today, while those of us who do have terrible trouble sleeping are too exhausted to bother telling anyone! There were even times when I was in college, pulled an all nighter doing an assignment, ran into college for 8am to get it in, got 20 minutes sleep on the train to work, and when I'd say "I only managed to grab 20 minutes sleep", my friend would claim she hadn't slept at all. Sure.

People who wear shorts in February just because the sun is shining ( & no im not talking about people jogging)

maguic24 · 26-02-2014 11:13PM

People who complain that they got no sleep because they had to pull an all nighter in order to finish an assignment/project. If you started it when you got it, you wouldn't have to pull all nighters. :P

czechlin · 26-02-2014 11:21PM

My own hands! :-/
They're so bloody cold most of the time! It gets really annoying while reading especially because I have to stop and make them warm otherwise they become bit numb.

When the clock at the front of a Bus Eireann bus is miles off being correct!

You could be on the bus at 3 in the afternoon and the clock reads 00:47. Fix your clocks lads!!!

When the tv on the bus shows nothing but scenery of the road, who wants to watch that, change the channel lads.............. Oh sorry, I've just been informed that's the cctv camera.

Used to arriving into work in the dark, with the bright mornings I'm struggling to fight the feeling that I'm running late!

Or worse again, colleagues who clip their nails at YOUR desk. I found what looked like a large toenail clipping on my desk one morning a couple of years ago. I don't know whose it was. BARF. :mad:

That when people go through a manned checkout they scrutinize their receipt, but when they go through the self service don't even bother to take their receipt.

Lose. Tightening. My trivial annoyance.

Pumpkinseeds · 27-02-2014 10:16AM

I'm getting my hair cut this morning and it's pouring rain. I've got some shopping to do as well so this will be the 3rd hairut in a row where I'm going to have to put a hat on before I leave the salon, wrecking my hair.

whitewave · 27-02-2014 10:54AM

People scraping the fork/ spoon off their teeth when they're eating. Gives me shivers.

OldNotWIse · 27-02-2014 12:17PM

When one runner lace is tighter than the other.

(and the fact that I didnt know if lace should have been pluralised for each foot or not, is also annoying)

also, wtf is that thing at the top of my post??

Trivial annoyance: people misusing the Serious Business icon

(not you ONW, runner lace tension is a scourge on us all)
