Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

Binge eating sweets. I've stuffed myself on liquorice from Holland and Barrett. I feel queasy and yet I've had to move the rest to the other side of the room so I don't eat any more of them.

People who don't put the same cutlery together in the D/w.

I mean, come on....knives in one space, forks, spoons etc. in the other spaces. It makes it Soooo easy to unload straight into the cutlery tray in the kitchen. Doh.

OCD me maybe.

Love the thread. Am a lurker, and a snorter and laugher at loads of posts. Highly entertaining! Thank you all.

Thank you too, darling. We're not really nuts - more like Leonard ""Bones" McCoy letting steam off!

I take your thank you with grace and thanks.

But I refuse to google Bones Mc Coy.

If I don't know it, I don't know it!

Cheeses I spent many a night laughing out loud at some of the posts. Or should that be lol'd?

Mighty thread, and so laid back. Brilliant.

I'll be back!

Google him with no fear. He's the doctor in Star Trek, and the most ferociously brave person this side of William Wallace.

Spanish Eyes, I couldn't agree with you more! Keeping the same cutlery together makes life sp.much easier. Just a note though, not just as simple as spoons with spoons. The spoons have to be subdivided into tea spoons with tea spoons, dessert spoons with dessert spoons, soup spoons with soup spoons. If you're going to follow the same cutlery rule then you've got to go the whole hog ;-)

Chaysus Ratmouse, I just checked there, and there are 8 partitions in the d/w cutlery thing.

I'm getting nervous now....

No need for panic Spanish Eyes, it's all good! 8 compartments work perfectly. With all the spoon sizes catered for, there's still enough room for the basic auld knives and forks ;-)

When people use gym equipment for the entire wrong purpose. Like a guy today doing shrugs on the shoulder press..by standing on the seat. Why!?

Oops69 · 23-05-2014 10:27PM

As a teenager , when you're just ' getting there ' in your bedroom and your mam knocks on your door or shouts up the stairs several times every 30 seconds " you're dinners ready " , she just knew , didn't she !

One of these days, as god is my witness, I will eat a slice of pizza and not burn my fecking mouth on it.

It's actually recommended NOT to load like with like in the dishwasher it comes to cutlery. The reason being that "nesting" can occur which can prevent the cutlery from getting completely clean.

Found this out recently when we got a new dishwasher.

I hear you Ice Storm. I used to have the same concerns myself (&as I type this I am actually telling myself that I need to get out more!) but have figured out that if you put the similar cutlery in each compartment at a kind of angle, this prevents nesting and the blocking of a thorough clean!

Sounds like you have all angles covered!

The enthusiasm of American people AND the way Irish people won't get involved in anything remotely dancey or fun.

You turn on The Ellen Degeneres Show any day and watch the audience jumping around, swinging their arms and legs around like they're at a hooley, smiling their megawatt smiles and Ellen gets into the act too.

Turn on The Late Late Show on a Friday night and see the audience sitting there stoic and all wearing Aran jumpers.
Ryan barely moves his TinMan-esque limbs at all and you couldn't imagine him bumping and grinding to Pharrell Williams.

You turn on an American soap and see some flawlessly made-up raven-haired beauty crying and one perfectly formed teardrop will fall along her cheek while she tells her boyfriend who's called Beau: "Y'know I just can't do this anymore, Beau. I can't..." *dramatic pause*.."be with you anymore. I'm sorry. I love you. You're always in my heart."
Beau cries a perfectly formed tear which falls along his chiselled jaw.

Turn on Fair City and you've got Jo telling Dermish: "Dermish, Benjamin's pooed his pants, would you ever run across to Niamh and ask her if she's got any wipes. And grab a loaf of Brennan's while you're at ish."

Disclaimer: I don't watch American soaps or Fair City so I'm just improvising here.

Czarcasm · 23-05-2014 11:46PM

fussy you just missed Pharell Williams on the Graham Norton show and all the women came down from the audience and danced with him (I'd no idea he was 41!), and then I turned over to the Late Late - Ryan interrogating Christy Dingham (Aslan had some great songs, Christy is a legend, but Jesus the air of misery!)...

Bang on about Fair City too, although Niamh is stepping out on Paul lately with a strapping chap (about time she cracked a smile, she hasn't cracked a smile since she seduced Leo in her school uniform about 20 years back! :pac:). The rest of them wouldn't crack a smile to save their lives!

I was watching it hence why I actually name-checked him

He's a lovely lad and he doesn't look a day over 21!

Ah Jaysus Christy Dignam, God love him but he's no Pharrell now is he..I can imagine the conversation there.

I stopped watching Fairly Sh*tty around 2004 and I never saw Niamh smile up until then.

What's even worse is no matter who the foreign guest is on the LLS, Tubridy ALWAYS asks him have they been in Ireland before, have they Irish ancestors etc. Even whipped out the hurleys for the Australian band too.

It isn't the 1950's anymore. Ireland is a bit more accessible and modern.

It always makes me cringe. And it does happen, 100% of the time too. It got to the stage where I would be saying to people ... wait for it ... wait for it ... wait for it ... ''And there it is!'' when the cringe would occur !

The LLS is for people who think it is still the 50's.

That is just so pathetic.............I reckon anyone who does that, is just not used to getting any and is gathering evidence to prove they really did finally get some.

Colser, I will ride to defence here:

1962: RTÉ Television (there is only the one rte channel) launches a new tv chat show. The show is generally well received having an interesting and engaging host with a good variety of guests, by both the the audience in "Happy Television Land", as termed by the host and the show audience themselves.

2014: The same show is broadcast after the 9 o'clock news:

A guest who is/was a rugby player.
A guest who is lead singer in a currently popular boy/girl pop band. One of their best songs is played.
Another guest with a story about being by somebody who was hard done by a dishonest business associate / has some disagreement with the church.
The show audience cheer and whoop at the appropriate intervals.
Who The Fook are the TV audience? Sure they can text the competition to win some glossy shopping voucher, car etc.

Decorating:( We've decided to repaint the bedroom and bathroom next weekend. The painting bit is fine, it's all the prep that's a pain. I've gotta wipe down the walls and then there's all the masking off to do, never mind making sure the cats don't get themselves covered in paint. I'm getting tired just thinking of it. Off to buy the paint later.
