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.

When you have a tough day at work and lectures after and you eventually get home at 9pm. You're tired and hungry and your feet are sore and you just want to relax and eat, and your OH has a meal ready for you, a bottle of wine in the fridge, the dog walked, the bathroom cleaned and the bed made.*

* trivial annoyance: realising this has never happened. Not even once.

Emmm, my OH does all above for me, more often than I deserve.....

I am off to call Hallmark, I just got an idea:)

Kids playing football on the road, right beside a perfectly good green. Play on the green for God's sake! It's safer.

Ah its what kids do, the opposite of what they are supposed to do.

Wearing jackets in summer, shorts in winter...etc

AHHHH ours is the complete opposite, sun in the front... trying to watch tv when its sunny is impossible ! all the blinds and curtains we bought to try see it better... its mounted to the wall so can't move it !

are we ever happy ?

Nope. We've got heavy curtains in the living room so that takes care of the sun on the front of the house. Blackout blinds and blackout curtains in our bedroom as my husband works a 2 cycle shift so he's on nights 2 weeks out of every 4. I took down the curtains and poles in the kitchen to repaint and decorate.

Hated the ones that were here originally and now I don't know when we're going to get around to getting the kitchen painted and new poles and curtains up:(

The absolutely stupid moderation of the Independent.ie. I was just looking back through my comments and noticed half of them have been deleted.

One of the them was deleted because I used partner and marriage in the same sentence...the fudge?

My comment 'Anything to be said for another mass?' was also deleted.

At first, I thought okay fair enough but I was reading through a few articles today and some really abusive stuff is allowed to stay up. It's fudging ridiculous!!! They're like the God police or something.

Ah, now you've hit a nerve. When he finishes nights he gets all helpful around the house doing chores that I didn't get a chance to do, it annoys me as it feels like a bit of a passive aggressive criticism, which I know it's not. Nope, he doesn't have a mole on his bum:D

Also, what is with all the fecking radio stations all playing Pharrell Williams - Happy. I used to like that song because I love Despicable Me but now I fecking hate it!!!! Every single radio station plays it over and over and over!!!

It's doing my head in! I was switching from station to station like I usually do and it was being played on 3 radio stations at the same time! It should be banned from being played for next 6 months. I am so fecking sick of it!!! >.<

I know subjective yadayada but Happy is a bad song and also it reminds you when you hear it often that you are often not in fact happy.

The daughter loves it and I despise it, when I turn it off she always asks am I not happy and that's why I don't like it!

I'd be thankful if they stopped playing it. Everytime I hear it, I want to punch someone.

Radio has ruined the song for me!

I hate when that happens. There are a few songs now that I used to like, but have to turn off the radio when I hear them now.

I've never heard that song and god willing I never will! Trivial things to be grateful for!

And while I'm on a roll - trying to get rid of door to door salespeople nicely, but firmly. A guy called earlier, something about a car service offer, he was so nice, and so pleasant, I struggled to get rid of him.

We can't be giving out all of the time now can we? Maybe we can. I'm annoyed I've heard of that song because
now I want to hear it so I can experience first hand how annoying it is and then that will annoy me. Damn you all!

Ihatecuddles

I have a mouth ulcer on the roof of my mouth, holy sh*t its so bloody annoying.

Feels huge too!

CrowdedHouse

People that drive with their fog lights on at night when there is no fog. Do people really thinks it makes their car look cooler?

F*ckheads who have their fog lights on all the f*cking time

Thirded! I figured other people might have picked this one.

I was driving tonight and the amount of f*ckheads with their f*cking fogs on (front and back). It's not foggy out, F*ckhead! TURN THEM OFF! And have some consideration for other drivers who don't want their eyes cut out of them. I actually think that rear fog light is the worst. It's so damn bright and right in your line of sight - awful if you can't overtake.

It's amazing the rage that descends when I get dazzled by fogs. I start dreaming up all sorts of brilliant contraptions to summarily dispatch the pig-ignorant fog light junkie. My particular favourite is a machine gun that would extend out of my wing mirrors. The gun could take the lights out from a distance. Then a rocket launcher would extend up out of the boot and would blow the pig ignorant f*cker's car to smithereens. As I drive gleefully by the carnage, a robot hoover is jettisoned and it cleans up the mess (it's got a little dustpan and everything). It then tootles off to the local recycling centre (courtesy of its built-in GPS) and it happily plays the Wombles theme tune as it goes about its business. I don't want to cause an environmental hazard and people can get very upset about the environment these days, just ask Duncan Stewart. However, it would seem that I'm okay with the total and utter annihilation of another human being. In this one instance, you understand.*

* This is not a legally binding agreement. Terms & conditions apply. Said human annihilation may also apply in the following instances; People who ignore the "ten items or fewer" rule in the express supermarket queue, people who steal the car parking space that you've been waiting and indicating for and gob****e middle lane drivers. This list is not to be taken as final.

Fourthed, and can I just add that the only thing worse than some loodramawn with fogs on when there is no fog, is an utter rectum who has fogs on and nothing else, while the sun is shining! :mad:

miss no stars

I have a headcold. It's not really bad, but seems worse this morning because I didn't get enough sleep and it's pissing me right off. Bring on the long weekend...
