Trivial things that annoy you Part 43
Comments

Dear person responsible for the timetables and scheduling drivers' breaks,
I am very certain that your backside hasn't had the pleasure of sitting on a bus seat covered in questionable stains, that you haven't been standing on a bus stop wondering about the parallel universe where your bus arrives on time, gazing at the marvellous digital screen proclaiming that the bus will be there in 2 minutes only to realise that on average 2 minutes of DB time equals 8 minutes of REAL time.
And when that big metal beast on wheels finally arrives do you think it's over? That you just get on board and enjoy the ride?? Oh no, no no no. Very often it feels like being stuck in the Radiohead song. If you manage to avoid potential bus buddies, creeps/weirdos/loonies, smellies and extremely large people (they usually collapse on the seat not taking you into an account at all, which results in your little self being sort of slapped against the window and almost crushed.) you could possibly get on just fine. But then YOU enter the scene. The invisible power that screws everyone over.
The change of a driver happening in the rush hour, resulting in me (and others) starting the day with frustration, calling my boss letting him know that I'll be late. Again. Are you for real!? Does common sense not apply to you at all?????
I don't know when it will happen but there will be a day when I won't be dependent on your services anymore and when that day comes you should receive a package. It will contain a model of a blue & yellow double-decker that you can shove up where the sun doesn't shine!
Beware, karma's a bitch, she'll get you eventually.
Sincerely,
Very annoyed czechlin
I thought it was just me!
You know how they say the longest ten years of a womans life is between 39 and 40 or something, well the longest hour is between "2 minutes" and "due" :P 0 -

It's the same with the LUAS. 9 minutes to 8 minutes is 1 minute. 8 minutes to 7 minutes is 1 minute, and so on. That is, until you get to 1 minute.
1 minute to Due is about 3 minutes. Pretty consistently like. I've timed it, because sure what else would I be doing for that 3 minutes?0 -

And then to add to the fun, sometimes the long awaited bus promised on the display fails to materialise at all, and just disappears off the screen.0 -

Or from the puddle that has formed if you are near the drain end, or from someone elses pee that is traversing the trough whilst mid pee and its a you and stranger 'splash back ultimate combo'0 -

Might help me too but then I have been known to eat while sitting on the toilet. LOL
Of course that was YEARS ago.
The construction noises outside are annoying me. I wish they would get done and buzz off. :mad:0 -

Did you go to UCG in the 90s? I often heard someone munching away at their apple in the toilets off the concourse...0 -

There are three ads on telly atm that are absolutely doing my head in.
1. The Seapoint Clinic one, with the guy with the very syllabic way of speaking. "Click. Tight. Dentures".
2. The McDonalds one: "Barry shaves his chest!" "No way!" :mad:
3. The Vodafone one with the old man and the horse racing. How is he watching the horse race continue? Is his son supposed to be running along beside the horses?
Stop patting your knee old man! :mad: 0 -

Speaking of all things word associated (wouldn't be a trivial thread without the usual toilet humor:D), but I used read your username as Anglomerdo, not nearly as funny any more once I learned to read it correctly. Now I can't unlearn it...
