Trivial things that annoy you Part 43

Started being nice to someone out of boredom and then he was all happy and grateful, and I felt a warm, fuzzy feeling inside and my mouth contorted itself into such a way that it went up at both sides and almost reached my eyes. What the actual f.uck. Come back inherent crank, all is forgiven!

What the very devil are you talking about? I'd say any properly-adjusted, right-thinking person would rather shave their head with a cheesgrater than go to Ikea! :pac:

I work with a chatterbox. She narriates her entire conversation that she has with her boyfriend. #kantkope
She follows me around talking at me.

It's certainly not somewhere you can exit in a hurry either. Like a ****ing one way maze or something. I remember trying to get out while the OH agonised over scented candles and pop up laundry baskets to check on the dog and it took me nearly 15 minutes just to get out. :eek:

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 27-11-2014 01:55PM

Oh god all the shops are doing 50% off, miss selfridges, top shop and boohoo has free shipping. I spent all my wages already. I'm raging. RAGING

You could always go for the 100% off offer.

Ah, stop, its bloody ridiculous, ye have to do a few lenghts of the store, before they let you out.

I was in it once, and I thought Id never get out of the place. I was in there about 30 mins (most of that, was trying to find the way out), and all I came out wit was a poxy bag of tealights

There are shortcuts, they are lifesavers.

I was in there recently getting a new matress. We made the foolish mistake of buying a bed there a few years back, they have thier own sizes so no other matress shop stocks the size. Forced to go in with the missus and kids.

My 2 kids testing every bed/matress on display (yes, shoes, jackets, etc all taken off and running around like yahoos), me raging and roaring just get whichever one you want at the wifepiece while trying to control the kids, herself trying out every matress and wanting to know what materials are in each. Then the youngest stands up on a bed and announces that she needs to take a poo quite loudly. Staff and other patrons in shock thinking she was going to take a poo on the bed she was standing on.
So then I had to get her to the nearest toilet (using shortcuts), let her do her bizness, then get back to the missus who is weighing up the pros and cons of horse hair in a matress.
I just said get the most expensive, it's going to be the best, tried it out it was. Boom. Finished.
That's when one of the kids disappeared, so i grabbed the other one, found the missing one and just left. The missus eventually followed.

The outcome was that she went back the next day, bought the expensive one, came home with the receipt. I then went over, picked it up from the pickup point and got it home.

If your relationship can survive a trip to IKEA, you are sorted.

I saw this in a recent edition of Viz, it made me howl with laughter.
(And I have never been to Ikea (traffic and crowds being my pet hates) Dante Aligheri couldn't make that place up.)

I think I'm just going to give up on the whole "bring your lunch to work" thing, great idea in theory, but when you pop a lasagne thing in the microwave and it comes out like a rubber brick...

So figured I'd just put on some soup instead - standing around waiting at the cooker for the soup to warm up, "Is this thing on? FUUUUCK ME IT IS!!", burned my damn fingers on the hot ring! :rolleyes:

Just easier and far less stressful to eat out!

Also trivially annoying -

Walking into a Youth Services place this morning, three young lads in the doorway skinning up a dooby that'd make Bob Marley blush - "Sorry lads, can I get through there?", skulky fcuking heads on them and I had to be polite because 20 mins later I'd be talking to a group of them about their future potential! :rolleyes:

Too many rolleyes for one post, breathe, happy face -

People using "gay" as a noun; I am not "a gay".

Sprinkle some water on lasagne/pasta/pizza before putting it in the microwave and you'll be grand!

Come to AH for an education! Never been on the LUAS nor on a bus for ??? years..ah yes, three years ago to Limerick to collect present car.... enjoyed that and it was half empty.. before that 14 years ago on my journey to Ireland... train from Dublin to Mayo after three planes..

Don't think the wee bus in the Trad farms in Muckross counts!

Never been to IKEA either and get lost easily in big shops....

You guys are heroes and heroines, you really are...

Keeping track of runny nose after catching a cold at the last Craft Fair....boy it sure runs fast!

veryangryman · 27-11-2014 03:28PM

I should have clarified. Ikea + kids = yes nightmare. Leave them with someone/something and do your shopping. Really i don't understand why parents bring (young) children to any shop where they can avoid said stress.

You get some cool ideas for remodelling the home and making use of space, what's not to like. If its too busy at weekends, then go early morning or late evening/weekdays. The same applies to basically anything in life where queues/crowds are in your way. Personally can't wait until January sales there. Be positive AH! Even trivially annoyed AH'ers!

Stupid fashion trends. This morning I saw a young lad wearing the most bizarre bottoms I've ever seen. The crotch was at knee level so that it gave the impression of being a skirt attached to tracksuit bottoms. :eek: Why

, the fact that they were a maroon colour didn't help either.

Good for when you go shopping and have no bags

I'm annoyed by people who blog and put reviews about you online. Is there nothing sacred

I think you might be misunderstanding. I am gay. However, my sexuality is not my primary, defining characteristic which is what using "gay" as a noun does: it reduces a person to their sexuality.

Particularly annoying is when others use "the gays", as if we're some monolithic bloc. We're not, really. The only thing we have in common is our sexuality. It's like saying "the talls" or "the long hairds".

"Gay" is an adjective, not a noun.

Yeah, like when you say "That's so gay".

To give the illusion that his junk is huge. Note: It's microscopic and is rightly called "junk". :pac:
