Trivial things that annoy you Part 43

I miss Czar

People getting their priorities wrong. I supoprt animal rights and am involved in various campaigns for change in welfare laws etc but it really annoys me when so called "activists" just píss everyone off and get a bad name for those of us who do genuine work for change. Or the ones who cannot see the bigger picture. Classic example? 40,000 people protest over the putting down of a dog whose owner has ebola. Where are these people when there are dogs in China packed into cages and hosed down before being skinned and eaten? Are they lobbying their politicians to increase punishment for acts of animal cruelty? Do they buy trays of battery hen eggs? Do they encourage people to boycott the circus/seaworld etc? Do they even know there are bears being kept chained with permanent gaping wounds so that bile can be filtered from them because some halfwits think this is therapeutic? That a mother bear in such conditions last year killed her cub and then herself? I know that every animal is important but this is one dog, and there are huge injustices against millions of animals every day on this planet and you dont see 40,000 people getting worked up about it. The animal has to become media's darling before it has a voice. They are probably the same ones who had mini breakdowns last year when a certain fictional show that regularly shows brutal violence inflicted on people dared to show a cat being killed. Just...raar

I'm glad I'm not alone in this! It's awful! And it makes me feel so guilty!

We should form a group where we all get to go somewhere and sit in complete silence

There's nothing worse than the sound of two people slobbering over each other like a couple of basset hounds.

I also sit close to a couple of snot-sniffers and swallowers in work - just get a tissue and blow your nose for feck sake.

That just turns my stomach. <snip>

My trivial annoyance is that anytime I say the words "I have some good news" the reaction from everyone is the same, looks at face, looks at stomach and says "OHMYGOD! You're pregnant!"
NO.
I'm not looking particularly round in the belly region, it's just that mindframe of "you're married, you must now procreate" :rolleyes:

My annoyance right f*cking now. I mean right now....rage....I got a Mocha from the fancy coffee machine in work, sit down to write a report, take a swig of the joe.....ewch, no chocolate in it, tastes like mank. But because I'm a stubborn git, i'm going to finish it and not complain to anyone.

You're a hero.

The way the tube of Pringles is big enough that I can fit my entire hand down cause god forbid half the tube would be enough. If I eat much more of them I guess my hand won't fit in the tube. Seems fair

Ballinsloe Horse Fair and that element it attracts that treat their animals like pieces of rubbish to be used/abused and dumped/passed on when of no use anymore. Some of the pictures I am seeing are just horrible. And then RTE NEws do a big fluff piece on it and about how it is a great Irish tradition. Sickening.

I hate "The Fair", and all the moist eyed sentiment my wife and her friends have about it. Crowds of young fellas with pointy shoes, nice shirts and bad hair, going round in gangs trying to cause trouble. There isn't a stick big enough for them......:mad:
