Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

Revenue - their website, their phone line, just everything. Urgh :mad:

People that complain about having sleeping problems when their real problem is they stay awake all night playing video games and talking to people online in different time zones, and sleep all day, because they're not working. They don't have a sleep problem, they're not insomniacs, they're just in a bad routine. And the funny thing is they do nothing to change it. I'm sleeping okay at the minute but I've gone months being awake most of the night, being awake all day, being too scared to go to sleep, functioning on really short cat naps. Then some lazy prick comes and tells me they're the same and they panned out all day.

People who don't work. Now I'm not talking about people who've lost their jobs recently and have been trying to find work, or people at home looking after their kids. I mean people who've never worked. I know 4 people, varying in age from between 22-29. One of the 4 worked relief (she might get a three days a month) for about 4 or 5 months, but other than that, none of them have worked - at all.
They get everything. Rent allowance, medical cards, extra money at christmas, get to go on holiday, and according to facebook, got very extravagant presents at christmas. I was talking to one of them before christmas, and he was telling me how they got 25% of their "bonus" back that day to help with christmas and that next year they would get their full bonus. That says it all really. Still assuming you're going to be on the dole in 52 weeks time.

It's different now - but still so annoying!

Also if they just put some useful information on their ****ing website I wouldn't have to call them as much. The thing is I'm trying to give them money, not get it off them. You think they'd make it easier to do!

The fact that I never knew what that piece of music was called until you mentioned it and then I could youtube

(I never know what most classical music is called as I learned to play piano by ear, I'd be useful on "name that tune", not

)

Also I was supposed to go on a spa day this afternoon for a full body massage, scalp massage and pedicure. It's been ages since I did anything nice for myself. Although having to pay the vet Saturday evening stopped that in its tracks.

So this morning I asked the OH to leave his card here today incase there was an emergency. Him being a tightwad asked what kind of emergency, so against my better judgement I appealed to his good nature and told him the truth about the spa. The only thing he left me with was a chewed ear about massages being a waste of money and how that he'd give me a massage for free. Him with his clumsy hands, no thanks. My back is in bits too, I needed it.

There are some customers who have a way of counting out change that is really patronising or something. As if they are giving a penny to a beggar. The way they pick it out of their wallet and pplace it on the counter and then look expectantly at the cashier...

Has anybody else noticed women (sorry ladies) at a counter or checkout who wait until all the items have been checked, or whatever they ask for is presented to them, look at the server with a look of surprise that they must now pay, and then put the handbag on the counter, open it, take out the purse, open that, extract money, hand to the server and then, if applicable, root in the bag for the loyalty card.

Can it be too much trouble to have the money at the ready when it is requested?

Still waiting for confirmation of good news. Feck.

Is this good news definitely coming? I reckon I'll feel the rage induced earthquake down here in Wexford if this falls through for you.

I think so but until I actually have it confirmed 100% I can't really relax.

Eugh Christ no

Hoons AGAIN... and it is now simply trivial beyond measure...and barely annoying but boring.. been ill for weeks and not out since before Christmas.. Saturday had a lovely time, visiting friends in Cork, then shopping.. decided to come home the long way so I could spend time at Gougane Barra which was so peaceful.. Bliss... As I drove back up the lane , there were two lads in a car each, alone and with L plates, one facing one way the other the other.. as I passed they sounded the horn...always makes me wonder if there is something wrong with the car.... so I carried on to the main road and turned right towards Kealkiil and Glengarriff// clearly these lads were so bored that the sight of a solitary old wan driving a small car was too much... they clearly knew the road well too so were local. They screamed up behind me hands on horn and headlights flashing and stayed there for some miles with no where to pull off and bends in the road.As soon as it was safe they shot past .....It was all quite deliberate...i was mad at myself for locking my door.. we have had a vicious case locally of a 73 year old being sexually assaulted by a 22 year old. I now lock my doors at night too... But are these kids really so bored? I could find them jobs to do here! Gets predictable and boring. Ah well, my visit to Future Forests where i know the family was lovely!

People who get bothered by other people's pubic hair arrangements. Listening to two simpletons say how men who like their partner with no hair are clearly paedophiles, because who else would find pre pubescent traits attractive. Then one of them proudly declared that she doesn't even trim. I'm disgusted. Since when does deciding not to have body hair mean youre encouraging your partner in liking children? I wax my legs too, does that mean my legs are childlike also?

Hi Graces7, good to have you back

Back to work. Wish I was dead. Send help.

The one time of the year where I feel like putting a hit out on myself. Anything, just anything not to go back to work after the Christmas break.

Those packets of wipey things for cleaning computer screens etc, they have a top like a fcuking chinese finger trap, awful. and you end up using half the pack before its properly threaded thru.

And staples, most end up on the floor.

Glad you qualified this as such generalisations offend.. like the lls who say NO RENT ALLOWANCE as we are all supposed to be cheaters..
