Trivial things that annoy you Part 43

People who steal.
Let a close friend of mine stay over for the night, the usual. Couple of days later I'm on Facebook and she is tagged in a photo wearing MY top . fair enough if I gave her a loan of it but I haven't taken it out of my wardrobe for a while and it's a pretty nice top that I paid a few quid more for and would probably not lend to anyone in case they got it dirty or ripped it. She must have taken it while I was in the shower I assumed. Asked her for it back, she gave it back, and all down the front of it was drink stains and she had it in an absolute ball so it was crumpled and dirty. So ****ing annoyed and frankly upset. Seems pretty trivial over a top but the fact she's a close friend and she done something so sneaky to me is honestly hurtful.

Did you not say anything to her?

Ihatecuddles · 30-09-2014 01:07AM

Are you sure she was being sneaky? I know I have a friend or two that would do that to me, but they would just think 'ah she wont care', and they'd be right. I wouldn't bat an eyelid, but can definitely see why others might get annoyed.

Prams.. Or rather "mums" that use them as battering rams. I walk in straight line so why do you always start heading straight towards me?

Worse when I am walking next to a wall.. I can do many things but walking through solid objects is not one of them.

And people that do not have a clue or care about what is going on around them.. I witnessed 6 or 7 times today, this cow with a pram (one of those 3 wheel " I do running yokes") hitting someone. Didn't even look before she swung it into myself or some passing pensioner..

I hate going into town for the same reason (Town being Dublin city centre). Headphones or smartphones.. Look where the **** you are going!!

And twats at self service tills that put there basket down before you have finished your shop.. Would you jump in my grave as quick?

Get my own back though.. Leave my packing till the end and stick my bag on the scales or drop it back after they have scanned the first item…

We know staff are short so the twats will be waiting a bit while someone resets them..

"unknown item in the bagging area" LOL

People at work who don't see it as doing their job but doing you a favour.

jimgoose · 30-09-2014 08:48AM

People called "Gobnait". I mean seriously, what are people at? Just fcuk off with a name like that. How are people supposed to take you seriously, and not think of Frank Kelly in a phone-box in Ballymagash, with his raincoat and wellingtons, discussing JCBs with Feshty! :pac:

A cracking looking girl got on the Luas this morning. This mouldy oul fella must have thought all his fantasies had come true as he spent the entire journey ogling her. He was just short of rubbing his thighs and roaring 'hubba hubba'. She seemed really uncomfortable under his slimy gaze. UGH!

Oh the 'I will do that FOR YOU', no, just do your job.
I admit though, in any situation, work or elsewhere, where someone uses the 'FOR YOU' line, I pretend not to notice.

Ryanair. I cant check in for my flight until this evening as my Passport is at home, I have no printer at home so €15 print boarding card fee at Dublin Airport.

I am not a criminal, I just want to check in and print my boarding pass, I'll show you my passport at the airport as I always do!

Is it your passport number you need? Check your confirmation email from when you booked the flights and see if its on it.

Lady in work booked my flights - she doesnt have my Passport no. Also been searching my gmail for the last hour for anything to do with Passport numbers, My Passport number has never gone through there.

To make matters worse I have prepared for this in the past by taking a photo of my passport details on my iPhone. My iPhone was erased 30 minutes before that point as it is going back to apple to get a new battery.

Just bad luck I guess... At least the company I'm going over to visit will foot the bill for the €15 but still the hassle!

Twit in the car (BWM natch) behind me in the queue to get into the car park on Saturday. The place was full so the machine wouldn't issue a ticket and let me in.

The fcukwit actually got out of his car and came up to instruct me on how the barrier system worked - 'just push the button and take the ticket.'

My response 'it's full' was more growl than words

Getting off a packed Luas at Stephen's Green and those of us with Leap cards form a little queue to tag off and some a-hole passes us and cuts in at the top of the queue to tag off. Do they think that we are all just queueing on the platform for the good of our health

Pumpkinseeds · 30-09-2014 11:28AM

Being woken up this morning by next doors radio blaring on the other side of our bedroom wall. They've gone to work and left it on deliberately. All because they didn't get to have another party last weekend. Utter cnuts. Still she's from a family that are no better than settled knac*ers, so what can you expect and I've heard his mother is a bit of a knac*er, so maybe guys do fancy girls who remind them of their mothers.:D

Evernote is your friend.

Upload your passport numbers, PPS , naked selfies and other useful stuff - then have access to it whenever you need (assuming you've a internet or 3G connection).

Took the day off work yesterday as I had to bring the young one to a physio appointment. I get her all excited about a trip on the bus into the city where we will see the doctor and then go see her grandmother in work. Then another bus trip home and we can make some dinner.

Standing at the bus stop, phone rings, appointment cancelled. Bast*rds.

But it turned out Millhouse for me as I dropped her at the creche and went shopping.

Then I had another appointment in the afternoon, that was also cancelled at the last minute.

So a topsy turvey day of cancellations for me yesterday. It actually doesn't bother me that much, sh*t happens and all that. It's more of a pain that I'll have to get the physio appointment, and my other appointment rescheduled and I'll have to try get them on the same day, so that I only need to take another 1 day off work.

Check in at home, save boarding pass as pdf, email to yourself and use one of the Internet PC terminal things at the airport to print it out.

Don't know if this has been mentioned but people who stop at the bottom of escalators of all places to have a conversation while everyone else is coming behind them. GET OUTTA THE WAY :pac:

Good idea, but I'm not really bothered as I'll still have to pay to use the terminal and print it out. It would be cheaper yes, but I'm not up for that much hassle at 6AM :pac:

The tool of a taxi driver who drove across a pedestrian crossing while people were crossing. No, having 'Taxi' on the side of your car, and giving an arrogant little wave does not excuse you from obeying rules, or even normal courtesy. :mad:

OldNotWIse · 30-09-2014 02:24PM

Dont want to start the cyclists v motorists er...cylce again but I have noticed this a number of times and it's annoying - the way some (some!) cyclists seem to think that putting their hand out to signal that they are going to be turning gives them the right to cut across you. It doesn't. If a driver wishes to cross lanes he sticks on the indicator (equivalent of cyclist sticking out hand) and then must wait for clearance to execute the turn/crossing over. I see a lot of cyslists sticking out their arms and then cutting across traffic as if the aforemntioned gesture gives them right of way.This would not be accepted if a driver did it. It trivially annoys me :P

My moms obsession with knowing inane, irrelevant information.

A prime example was this morning.
I slept at my parents house (more convenient for my work commute, only on Sundays) last night and overslept this morning. I was in a massive rush, scrambling around trying to get myself out of the house. My mom was upstairs putting washing away when I left the house.

I came back within 5 minutes, having realised I had forgotten my phone. By now I was dead late. I'm running in the hall when I hear a beckoning from upstairs. "WhiteRoses? WHITEROSES?!?!?". Yes, I replied. "Come upstairs to me, quick!".

I ran up the stairs thinking there was an emergency of some sort. "What did you forget, what have you come back for?" she replied.

I thought I was going to explode. Probably seems like an overreaction but she always does this at inappropriate times. I have no problem humouring her when I'm not late for work, I love her dearly but she drives me mad!

Reminded me of a thing my family (mostly my brother) do that drives me mental. They are somewhere out of conversational earshot but wish to converse so they call you. Wtf? Am I a dog? If you wish to speak to me but you happen to be at the other end of the house then the onus is on you my dearest to close the gap, and not the other way around.

"Dear thirty year old me...

People say only the minority of cyclists are bad on the road, and it's only the bad ones that you notice, but I call bull on that one. From my observations while city driving, the majority of cyclists think the rules of the road are optional and a substantial minority are dangers to themselves and all other road users. The only place I've ever felt cyclists were competent road users en masse was Netherlands. No jumping the lights or expecting cars to jam on to accommodate your lack of road sense there.

I once won a very fancy boxed set of 12 reserve whiskeys with a value of $800.

I don't drink.

A brown car is allowed as long as it's a Triumph Stag or a Mk. III Cortina. Can't help you with the designer dress, guv'nor. :pac:

The prize was for an overnight stay at a trendy Dublin hotel on a night I can't go.
I might consider passing it on to a Boardsie or if Boards wants to raffle it off..

Metallic pearly light beige is nice.

Sludge or mud brown, not so much.

Mine is the former.
