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.

Could the noise be caused by something like this?

Now that Im sitting down to write this I realise its far from trivial but I have a good pot o coffee on the go, kid parked in front of Peppa Pig and I wanna vent!!!!!!!!
****ing alternative medicine/Big Pharma conspiracy ass holes!!!!!!! (hmmm I may have already mentioned this in this thread previously now that i think about it:P)
Why I find it less than trivial today is that my estranged Father in law is literally being slowly killed by his Crusty German partner.
He has a rare form of liver cancer which he was, of late, doing very very well against. My wife visited him the other day and he has seriously relapsed. He is so ill that he should probably be in hospital but his idiot partner has convinced him that her concoctions of nettles and herbs and such are better for him and that he is better off removed from "Commercial medicine".
Wife literally pleaded with them to get into the chemist for some invalid/high calorific value food as his weight has plummeted and then to get to The GP NOW (She has a medical background and knows what she is on about).
One week later and this has not been done, the herbal, honey, cinnamon and nettle crap is still going in and crusty has him on sports drinks. Sports drinks are just about the best way to kill someone with a liver condition!
Christ i honestly feel like machine gunning every crusty in Leitrim!!!!!

That's shocking.
''Christ i honestly feel like machine gunning every crusty in Leitrim!!!!!''

I don't blame you

Is there a district nurse attending your f.i.l who might be able to intervene and at least see that he gets the invalid food supplemet stuff? If he has no contact with any medical people now could you contact a district nurse or maybe social worker and see if they could do anything? x

I honestly dont know. As i said the relationship between him and my family is strained but my wife has not severed all ties. That said her influence is limited. Her dad is not old or stupid but as with any possibly terminal illness there is a desperation there and where theres desperation then Quackery/religion/hokum will flourish!...
He has promised to go to the GP today but the poor old Doc is exasperated. He has warned him over and over that many many things can actively block or interfere with cancer treatment. The cancer specialist has stressed this over and over also . Then German/Leitrim crusty bitch convinces him that they are merely saying this as part of 'the conspiracy' and goes back to home prescribing and bull sh1t.
Scrap that. lets just nuke Leitrim!

Driving along, in a hurry when some asshole drives out in front of you and then drives at a snails pace, so all of a sudden you've gone from 120 down to 70.
You'd think considering they're not averse to dangerous driving they'd have the consideration to speed it up a bit

Our GP is also an old family friend and he gets this new age yippy dippy crap all the time. He says that the cancer treatment world in particular sees deaths directly related to this crap all the time. Cancer treatment is very very targeted and specific and any large concentrations of certain things can interfere with its effectiveness. In particular strong infusions of herbals.
Its really really getting to dangerous levels, this anti science horse sh1t. Creationism, anti vaccine, you name it. Shoot em all!!!

Tell your da not to have it on for more than ten minutes or it will blow up.

Yes My gp said something about that type of person, like the german crusty woman. There are lots of them around here. They go in for a diagnosis and forego antibiotics and other medicine for herbal remedies.
In situations like your father in law's it's not appropriate at all.
A lot of people have had run ins with some of those people locally.
What a frustrating and upsetting situation for you and your wife.

Not so trivial, but here goes:

Woke up this morning and one of the cats had a burst abcess on his cheek, vets afternoon clinic is cancelled and I didn't have any cash on me to get a cab there this morning so it has to wait until tomorrow morning to get him in. That's expense number 1

Husbands split thumb still hasn't healed properly so I've nagged him into going to the nurse at our GPs on Thursday, that's another 30 euro.

The rent is due Friday

We got a 160 euro electricity bill on Monday too.

Some weeks it just doesn't bloody end, that's before I even factor in yesterdays blocked toilet:(:mad:

People who talk really loud, all the time. I was in a coffee shop Saturday, and I could hear, from a distance, every single thing one girl was ordering. Then she sat at a table near me with two others and continued at the same loud volume. Shhhhh.

There's a fella who comes to the office now and then with an offensively loud nasal voice. Face to face with him and he continues to bleat completely oblivious to how loud his voice is.

Skyping with parents:

Mum: Hey darling, how is it going, you look very pale, are you sick? You should come home.
~ I've been pale my whole life + it's the light.
You had a soup for lunch and scrambled eggs for dinner!? You should come home.
You're not happy in your job, you should come home.
Oh god, is it raining again? It's lovely here today, you should come home.
You don't have a boyfriend, you should come home.
What about holidays this year? You should come home.

Dad passes by:
Hey kid, you look pale and skinny (he can barely see me), you should come home.
Work ok? You know you can come home. etc.

Every bloody time...

Note:
I appreciate my parents, it just gets a bit annoying. The funny thing is, when I was actually thinking about going back home a few years ago, they completely freaked out

Oh I know and I do appreciate them and love them and all that, I just thought it'll ease off as years'll go by but it seems to be getting slightly worse lately. And I'd love to have a normal chat with them without the 'you should come home/would you not be better of going back home' after every second sentence I let out. I shall pay them a rather long visit again so they'll be glad to see the back of me, that usually works for a bit

Yes, that works for sure, also mention the amount of crap you know possess, and wonder where it will all fit when you return home.;)

People who always play the victim, even when they are wrong!!! The world is out to get them and the words 'I'm sorry' have never been uttered from their mouths. God forbid you would ever disagree with them.

Actually thinking about, it's not really trivial......

I live in the same city as my parents but I'd only go home once every two or so months for a day or two. I usually meet my mother for coffee and lunch every few weeks so I knew she was busy in work, working long days from 8am to 10pm for over a week. After about a week of this I got a Skype call from my father who was looking very morose. They use Skype to contact my sister in Edinburgh and my brother in Dublin but seeing as my father works from home he was obviously getting lonely at home with my mother being so busy.

"How are you?

"
"Ah sure I'm grand."
"Been up to anything?

"
"I've been cycling the past few days, I might cycle out to you when I build up some stamina, refill the water bottle."
"Oh that'd be nice.

I suppose I'll leave you go.

"

Poor lonely fella. He was like a sad puppy.

i hate it when people say your welcome... like this :

Im standing minding my own business...
stranger: 'Hi, can I borrow a lighter?'
me: 'sure, here ya go'
stranger lights cigarette and hands back lighter
stranger: 'nice one, thanks'
me: 'no bother, thanks'
stranger: 'your welcome'

FOR WHAT?

in a drive through and you order, pay and say thanks to the person that hands you a paper bag
'Your welcome'

FOR WHAT?

In the shop,
ME: 'can I pay by card?'
'sure'
ME: 'thanks'
'your welcome'

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I thought your welcome meant that your welcome I've gone outta my way for you

czechlin

dont close the freezer door properly

- my younger sibling does that on a regular basis

lose your keys

- I get a set of keys almost every time I go home because they keep changing the locks due to my dad and the sibling constantly losing them

move all the stations around on the telly

- I can never find the remote

leave the milk out of the fridge overnight

- that drives me utter bonkers

well fcuk! not much left for me to do!:eek: I think I'll have to try something completely counter-productive

eisenberg I did!! Although my mother suggested I throw some of the stuff out and ship the essentials only I was reassured that they have over a 150m² (1614ft²) worth of an attic so no biggy :rolleyes:
