Trivial things that annoy you Part 43

There was an ad on a minute ago, I don't know what it was advertising since I wasn't paying attention. What annoyed me was the 'treat yourself, it's Christmas' bit. It is NOT Christmas, it is November.:mad:

People using 'like' in a sentence when it isn't warranted.

This isn't new, which is what annoys me. I've told more than a dozen people over time and still it persists. Everywhere.

Sweet Jesus.

I couldn't help overhearing the conversation a teenager was having on his phone at my bus stop. It was essentially 'I said like and like she said like and like I said and she said like' Obviously it was a one-sided conversation but Jesus I wanted to slap him around the head.:D Who knew that 'like' could be so frigging unlike-ably irritating

To go into the jacks for a slash in a urinal and you hear somebody in a cubicle hustle to flush and exit. Can they not just wait or slow their charge for the slashee to finish before exiting the cubicle.

Worse is when there are 3 cubicles and someone goes in, has a choice of 3, and picks the middle one.

The next person has no choice but to be in a cubicle next to theirs.

Workplace. When someone asks usually over the phone ''What time are you in at?'' or ''What time do you go at?''.
Its as if to say well there is no time to early or late for me. They have no intention of arriving to you that early in the morning or late in the afternoon anyway if the even come down anytime that week.

''What time do you go for your lunch at?''. As if theyre concerned they intrude on your lunch. As much as to say i dont have lunch boundaries but i know you people do. ARRRGGGHHH

I'm sure I heard "We're walking in the air" as the backing music on an ad on Today FM around lunch time today.

FFS, I may be a grinch on a good day, but seriously. November 5th is too early in anyones book.

When people put those creepy porcelain dolls in bedrooms. I don't like them, I'm not afraid of them, I just hate them. I am staying in the OHs parents tonight, and his mother has a rake of them on wardrobes and in corners. Real ****ing creepy like, one has a wedding dress. I got his dad to move them before bed. He put them out in the corridor, though I'm half expecting to turn on the light to find they made their way back into the room. Yuck

MsBubbles · 06-11-2014 09:44AM

Parking! We don't have a driveway but have a row of parking spaces outside the block of houses/apartments. Some fecker in a low loader parks up on Friday taking up 3 spaces, walks up the road and around the corner to next road. Leaves the lorry there til Tuesday night around 10pm. It's not the 1st time he's done this either.
Cheeky Git.
I had to move my husband's car into the middle of the 3 space this morning to prevent low loader man hogging 3 spaces for a week.

There was a girl I used to go out with, she had these and loads of baby-angel pictures/posters all over her room.
It got wierd when I was on the job and making eye contact with those things.

If your OH had any sense of humour he'd creep out while you're asleep and place them all around the room staring at you.

I start work early- up at 5.30am and in work before 7am as I need to get away at 4pm to collect kids etc.

Sometimes when I'm leaving I get the odd 'on a half-day today?' comment - usually from some prick who's sauntered into the office at 9.30am.

Takes all of my willpower not to start ranting about how I've already done a couple of hours work, before they've managed to drag their fat ass out of bed.

I hate that kinda sh1te. Tempting to say something when he arrives in, but I'd probably settle for a very sarcastic 'haha, yeah, it's great' in response to the 'half day' comment.

My brother has this big huge thing that you squeeze real tight, it's used for casterating bulls on the farm. If the OH ever done such a wicked thing, I'd be putting aforementioned squeezy thing to good use, snip snip

So I hear a lot of Dublin parents calling their little sons "buddy" as a term of endearment these days.

This annoys me. Trivially.

Almost as annoying as someone on Boards calling you buddy when they are bítching at you. Condescending twats.

I'm one of them baxtards. I prefer the toilet seat that has had less asses sitting on it. I don't see the need to have an empty cubicle beside you, unless you are not using the cubicle for it's, um, intended purpose?

Same as that.

But it hasn't happened since I repsonded with "No, I'd the other half of the day done before you finally made it in".

I don't understand the difference between the tax assessments for married people.

I rang the tax office and they were very helpful.

I've called them 3 times this week and had to hang up because I was on hold too long and my work phone rang and the office manager has also called them for me and both times he was told he'd get a call back and that never happened.
