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.

We are now on page 666...........The number of the Beast.

I was just thinking we owe the thread to sdrawkcab and her workmates who annoy her.

Dramatik

People putting plates in the section for bowls in the dishwasher. Every time I go to put a bowl in the dishwasher the only section big enough for it to fit is full with side plates so I have to remove a plate and move it to the appropriate section so I can then fit my bowl in. Wide section = bowls, thin section = plates. Every day...Every ****ing day!

People who insist on opening the windows in an air-conditioned office. I don't think you're really getting how that works, dudes...

Worse are the gimbals who explain to you that air-conditioning is useless-in-principle, given that it's only moving the same air around the place. No, no, not quite. A proper HVAC is an expensive, clever bit of kit that cleans, disinfects and chills the air to order, as opposed to a fukkan fan your boss tells you slack-jawed yokels is the "Air Conditioning!" when it is in fact just moving a hunk of fetid oxygen-depleted air replete with your hideous diseases and muesli-fart-vapour from one end of the room to the other.

Conversations that always go the same way, usually in small talk situations.

"So have you any holidays planned?"

"No, I used them all up for exams"

"Oh right, what are you studying?"

"Oh wow that must be really hard/what got you into that" blah blah

- zzzzzzzzzzz

Now I just say "ah I've a week off in September" and leave it at that

Fcuk off! No-one cares. Just get on with it.

I'm waiting for the day that a straight famous person does an exclusive interview or calls a press conference to declare their sexulaity to the world. 'look at me, I'm straight...who would have thought it!' Maybe then there'll be no more coming out and public declarations of homosexuality. It's your business. Not mine sunshine.

The people who find it that little bit easier to come out themselves do care.

Unfortunately office air-con tends to be set to the temperature that accommodates those who complain the most i.e. the people who are always too cold.

When you run out of bog roll!!

Always, and I mean ALWAYS keep a toilet roll in the freezer. If you use it, replace immediately as once you start using it, it must be used as the soggy factor creeps in.

My annoyance for today is cyclists going through red lights. I was crossing the street with my kids at the green man, and this gobsh*te on a city bike nearly nailed us as we reached the far side of the road. I made a remark about a red light quite audibly so everyone in the vicinity knew he was an assh*le.
If I didn't have the kids, I probably would have been walking faster and he would have hit me.

The met eireann weather forecast changing completely over the course of one day , and they never apologise for getting it wrong , happens all the time , it's trivially annoying because I don't rely on it and I'll check the BBC for a more reliable service , .....also that Cavan guy who does the forecast , has he ever done one that doesn't mention " But there is a possibility of scattered showers in the west " .... doom merchant .

I look at the Wunderground site, it's much more accurate.

BBC weather accurate? Ha!

So do I. Your industry must be particularly heavily male-dominated....is it the Vatican by any chance?

if he does hit you, feign being blind in your left eye, so didnt see him coming. Double assh*le points for him

In my rambling Walter Mitty-esque thoughts, ideally I'd have clotheslined him

This freaking humidity is driving me nuts. I've hardly slept this week and putting the fan on only means it's too noisy to sleep. So I can leave the fan off and lay awake sweltering in the humidity or turn the fan on and lay awake in the noisy cool air. Not really a great set of options.

Ever use earbuds? As a shift worker I couldn't function without them.

Yep, I wear them every Friday and Saturday night, we have neighbours who like to bring friends home in the early hours after the clubs close. The thing about ear plugs is that they are great at blocking out some noises but other types of noise just seeps through.
