Going into the nurse with a stupid pain in my back and coming out with an appointment to go back for bloods to be tested for diabetes. Now see me google non stop between now and next Monday and convince myself I do have it

I'm TA'd by the T in the TTTAY thread because I usually post about things that really annoy me, and then I have to stop and think, hang on is this actually trivial?

I'm trivially annoyed by you saying "the T" followed by an initialism with three Ts in it.

I find the clothing ads that show 'Fashion Dress with belt' or 'Fashion Dress with stripes' trivially annoying.

Like shops that advertise "Latest Fashions"...they just don't tell you exactly what country it was fashionable in.

"Serving suggestions" on tins....thats another one. Imagine having a tin of beans/peas and not having a clue what to do with them.

Why? It's Trivial Things That

I'm trivially annoyed that my attempt at underlining looks more like random underscores

Because you said the T, as though there were only one. :pac:

Aw sh.it I should have said "the first T". I was all geared up for a debate on whether the "that" should have a T at all since it is...TA'd that I can't remember the term for those small words like and/or/in/on/for that are not represented by big letters.

Oh God....

The café chain Insomnia sell food called macarons. Except, these brainboxes call them macarOOns.

People who don't let kids be kids.

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but I'm just after seeing the Band Aid video..

They go from carrying a (presumed Ebola Victim) starving corpse out of a room, in horrible conditions, to the singers getting out of their chauffeur driven limo's in clothes that cost God knows what, with the general public fenced off away from them, so that they can go in to a room and sing a sentence.
Then do interviews for the next year and a half telling everyone what it was like, and the poor Ebola victims.

F**K OFF!

Aye. That and people who spend a half-hour wheezing past me in a 1.5l diesel shítbox going about 2 km/h faster than I am. Get an actual engine and stop pedalling, or else get the furk off the motorway! :pac:

The car this morning at 5.30am on M7 who as I was going to overtake at about 6 car lengths decided with 1 flash of an indicator decided he wanted to overtake the lorry that was 20-30 lengths in front of him, right in front of me, so being a little irked I went around him on the left, (yeah yeah, some call it undertake) loads of room, he flashed like mad an started blowing his horn, but yet he could do what he done and I didn't flash him, oh well..

I burst me boll*x laughing the first time I found out why they put "serving suggestion" on the tins.

It's to make sure that when they have a picture of beans on a plate on the front of the tin, you don't think there's a plate in the tin with the beans!

People being outraged that elsa from frozen is being sold for 500 euro online, that they're "heartless touts" and "there deprivin kids ov havin a smile on there lil faces on Xmas morning". Parents getting into fist fights over this doll. In the words of elsa, "let it go!"

There's none left, move on. Explain to the kid santa only had a few and get them something else. It's only a novelty for a few hours anyway. It's the parents more upset than the kids.

WoollyRedHat · 25-11-2014 01:30AM

Not being able to get food out of their packets with my fingers. Need a chainsaw to get through some of them.

A person stopping to try let you cross the road when there's two lanes, thanks and all, nice of you to stop, but the cars in the other lane might not, and I don't fancy chancing getting knocked down, so just keep driving and stop the awkward.

Couldn't agree more. Next year it'll be some other craze.

Oh god, I had a few drinks last night, just two pints of cider, but I haven't been drinking in ages so maybe my tolerance is gone to **** but I took one of my painkillers before bed for my back. I've been dozing all night not really asleep, but not really awake. I just woke up there a few minutes ago with the feeling there was a mouse on top of me. Now I don't know if it was even real or if I was hallucinating because now I'm awake everything is swimming I'm very dizzy and I'm way too frightened to go back to sleep incase mice are really climbing on me, I feel sick at the thoughts of it, and if I wake him up about a phantom mouse he will actually murder me.

When I broke my wrist I became inventive re food packaging... had to buy ring pull tins ( beans cost 10 cents more in LIDL with ring pulls and I object!).. so I would put a tin on the floor, hold it between my feet, put a knife handle in the ring pull and pull with my good hand.... as long as the dogs and cats did not get there fort, I ate...

Online newspaper stories that say they have a video and then it turns out to be nothing more than a video of a few still images. You fcuking morons.

When the sound and picture on the tv is out of sync!

You end up lip reading what the fcukers are saying before you hear it.

You're watching pre-recorded something or other, right?

Pause it and then unpause it again

Ugh, I hate sachets of ketchup and mayonnaise for this. I tear it where the sachet tells you to to tear it, but it just stops short of the part that opens it up. I'm afraid of forcing too hard in case I spray sauce all over myself, then proceed to look like a moron when I try cut it open with the blunt butter knife I was given.

Lucyfur · 25-11-2014 10:35AM

I read this thread all the time. I have just coped on to what "TA" means.

I don't know if I'm trivially annoyed or just thick...

This happens on free view quite a bit and it drives me mad. Just change channel and back again and it syncs again.

Does this even count as trivial? One of my housemates eats like an entire herd of cows. Like she has literally woken me up three times in the last week and a half by eating in the kitchen. It is absolutely VILE. I've never experienced anything like it. Annoyed by it doesn't even begin to describe my feelings. :mad: :eek:

She even makes the noises before her food is ready? Like she makes more noise than me eating, even when she isn't eating. Please send help.
