Trivial annoyance of the day:

There is no food to eat. I need my food.

Frigga_92 · 26-11-2014 10:04PM

The term "single mother".
Family Law sittings coinciding with High Court sittings.
Stupid people bringing their children to court with them, there should be a fooking rule against it.
PEOPLE ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS - I called the office from court today "Hi, can I speak to Tom?" "Oh is he here?" I DON'T FOOKING KNOW, I'M NOT AT THE OFFICE!!
People who ask you to explain something, you explain it and then they say I thought so or I knew that.
People asking stupid questions with obvious answers and when you give the obvious answer they say Oh no, I meant - the opposite of what I just said which funnily enough is the answer you just gave me -
People taking credit for (a) my ideas and (b) my work, especially in front of important people.

When there's some guy that is super hot that always likes my photos on facebook and then I run into him in real life looking like a mangey dog. Never meet him when I look half decent.

Fat bastards insisting on leaning against the handrail on the bus that your hand is on, resulting in their back flab wrapping itself around your hand... ugh :mad:

That's always the way when you run into an ex!

Yuk I have an awful picture in my mind now. That sounds awful!

I've been salivating over the description of a sandwich at a coffee shop for ages and decided to treat myself to it yesterday, and it ended up being completely underwhelming in the flavour department. Plus it was tiny and I'd finished it in about 2.5 bites! The disappointment was immense

People sitting on the Luas who pretend not to see the old/pregnant person who gets on and looks like they could do with a seat. I see them clocking them and then studiously engrossing themselves in their phone/book or even closing their eyes and pretending to be asleep!!

Yesterday evening I was on an inside seat and an elderly lady got on. I watched a number of seated people clock her and swiftly divert their eyes. In the end I gave her my seat and the big fat bloke beside me was more than happy to let me out and her in without parting with his own seat, when it would have been much easier for him to let her have his. The poor dear had to try to clamber in past him.

When she got up, she made sure to let me back into the seat and then who gets on at the next stop but a heavily pregnant woman. Rinse and repeat!

People reading stuff over your arm/shoulder. Minding my own business on the luas, flicking through my pics looking at the ones I could delete, then I'm on boards and facebook and I can see your man next to me looking at my phone. He probably saw more than he bargained for with my pics too so I was about to write a really passive aggress message about assholes who look at other peoples phones, but when he stood up to get off at his stop, I realised he was a guard. Thank Christ I didnt write that message.

Someone just commented "you're smiling" (is it that rare?!) and deciding to bat him off with an intellectually lazy platitude I replied, "ah sure they pay me extra to smile" and he looked at me strangely until I realised that sounded like something a prostitute might say

Oh God

that's hilarious

Dicks. I'd be wary about offering a pregnant woman my seat unless she was heavily pregnant and there was no question that it was a real baby and not a food baby.

someone just sent me an email saying HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

Oh she was definetely pregnant! I witnessed that happening once. Some poor bloke popped up and offered his seat to a girl who had just gotten on with her friend. She had a bit of a belly but definetely didn't look pregnant to me. She looked slightly bemused to begin with wondering why he was offering but bless him, he kept insisting and had gotten up and was nearly directing her into the seat. I copped on pretty quickly that he had made a massive blooper and wanted the ground to swallow me up!! And then of course it began to dawn on all concerned what was going on and well, it was just an all round awful situation and I'd say that poor guy has never offered a seat again

"Hi, you are looking great, any day now I suppose, do you know if its a boy or a girl yet?"

" I had my son three weeks ago"

"Erm, I think thats my bus, see ya"

You know what annoys me, those bump on board badges that I see women wearing on the luas. I know it stops the questioning "is she or isn't she" but they're usually worn by women early on in pregnancy. Now I've no doubt that early pregnancy is tiring for women too, but not everyone is going to be in a position to give up their seat and they don't pin a badge on themselves.

I get sciatica sometimes. For a couple of days it's so bad I can barely walk, but for the rest of the time I'm fine so I would have no problem standing. Now if an old person or a very pregnant person got on while I have a sore back, I'd still give them my seat, but I wouldn't for a lady not very pregnant but declaring it with her badge.

This is why I never take a seat on a busy bus/train - I never have to face that dilemma.

I'm also reminded of a friend who offered her seat up to an elderly man. At the next stop a stunning blonde twentysomething got on - the auld fella went all chivalrous and gave the seat to her - friend was fit to be tied.

Have made that mistake a few time...mistaking a rotund belly for a preggers one.
So now I wont comment on a woman being pregnant unless she tells me or I see the wee baby coming out.
Best to play it safe.

There is an excellent scene in a Seinfeld episode where Kramer asks a lady how far whe is gone and gestures at her belly. Couldn't find it with a 4 second search though.

I'd have no issue with the women with bump on board signs or whatever they are, not for a seating reason, but moreso so folk would be more aware and not squash her her bump into her.

I'm the type of person on a bus......well I was, it's been so long now......that would always be jumping up to give my seat to anyone of the opposite sex or that were at an age where their trousers started to go over the belly button.
Except when I was nursing a delayed morning wood. Bad would firmly be on the lap then thinging about the ingredients of toothpaste.

people who dont let you speak when youre exlaining something. been trying to tell this guy whats up with his account and why, I get 2 words in and he cuts me off.

kylith · 27-11-2014 12:04PM

My office is nice and warm. Outside my office is not nice and warm. Every SOB who walks in leaves the door open :mad:

jimgoose · 27-11-2014 12:46PM

On a conference call from my office, which overruns (into lunchtime, as it happens. Grrrr! :mad:) and fifty minutes or so in I duck out to answer a call of nature. At this precise time of course someone goes "This is one for Jim. Oh yes, Jim. Jim's the man. Jim, Jim Jim. Jim? JIM??". Jim is at this time bounding back from the dunny, having just about stowed the equipment away decently, shaking a fist at the Universe and muttering "Fuck you. Just... Fuck you! Right in the ear!!" :pac:

IKEA is basically just an adertisement against marriage. It's full of miserable couples with young kids pushing around trollies of flat pack cráp - him with a face on him, her with a face on her, as they squabble over scented candles and drawer organisers. "Nice" stuff they can afford after they've mortgaged even their future reincarnate selves on a 3 bed semi in a commuter town. It's just misery heaped upon misery.

I love Ikea. But i guess fun and excitement is not allowed in AH. I'll accept my ban mods. :pac:

"Oooh, I have the Rolls-Royce of VHI plans. I couldn't risk anything less because of the funny-looking lesions on my arse", she said, with the kind of po-faced sincerity normally only found in hardback first editions, or from a Labour spokesdroid. "Oh yes", he said in a voice like concentrated hydrochloric acid, "You mean it's about three times overpriced for what it is, weighs four tons and often Fails to Proceed??" :pac:
