Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

I wonder how far you could push them?

A chef to prepare your meals, taxi to/from work, cleaner...

Well, Dad's already started batch cooking and freezing dinners - "it'll be too late for you to start cooking when you come in love".

The cold weather, and just January weather in general. I know it's nauseatingly annoying to talk about the weather but this is just taking the proverbial. Spent all last night dealing with weather related problems. Got stuck on the hill going home and had to get pushed. Then over to the neighbours to make sure their dog was ok. Extra blankets, extra duvet, a pillow, extra food. Even her water bucket was iced over * Then had to make sure the cats all had hot water bottles in their beds. 6 hot water bottles lined up on the counter waiting to be filled :pac: Extra duvets for them too. Heat lamp for mom and the remaining two kittens. Make sure the two elderly cats were in at the fire. Make sure "half cat", our adopted feral was coaxed inside. There was also a poor dog running loose on the road on the way up. How could anyone leave an animal out in that? He was running in front of us and I was screeching at my dad, "slow down you're going to hit him" and my Dad shuting back, "I can't slow down we'll skid!" He ran off up the mountain. I went after him but by the time I got boots, hat, torch etc he was gone I left a bed in the shed and a bowl of food out. Hope he had the sense to come back. We're pretty much the last house. If he kept going.... I don't know if he would have survived

So, two TA's really:

1. Bástards who dump their poor, defenceless animals in the mountain because they think they might have some sort of happy life up there chasing rabbits and rolling in meadows
2. Cold f.ucking weather

*still debating if I should report them

They can't be that auld when they remember Take That from their teenage years! That would mean I'm an auld lad!

Yeah sorry I meant more ones acting the maggot and pretending they are schoolgirls again. That song "Never Forget" - great song and all but they just go a bit schizoid when that's on!

People who backtrack on what they meant. You said old :P

I said "aul" - and just realised that Take That were cool when I was a teen too...that can only mean one thing!

TA I don't know what a Nolan's bag is

Most of my TA's relate to bus users, or at least they used to before I stared using the luas, and the stereotypical annoying woman on it always seemed to be carting around a Nolans of Clontarf bag (or was it Nolans School of Music?)

Walking in somewhere and my glasses fog up, so I can't see who I'm looking for. If I take them off I definitely won't see who I'm looking for .
Constantly misplacing my glasses at home , and not being able to find them because I'm half blind without them.

Maddening A similar one - in 17 years of contact lens use, I have yet to remember to locate my glasses before I take my lense out

My TA is when I bought a bottle of wine on the till a message came up about 1997 ie are you over 18 ?
I was 21 in 1997 I felt ancient

I don't like when I buy a bottle of wine in Tesco's when the message comes up "Does the customer look over 25?"

The cashier barely has to glance at my haggard face before they swipe it through.

I'd like the merest bit of consideration that yeah, maybe I could just about pass for 25.

Wise Old Elf the red luas line is fine early in the morning cos the Loolahs and junkies are still in bed

OldNotWise Nolan's very posh. It was Superquinn bags out in the Blanch.

Getting on the train two hours late, travelling 20 minutes up the line only to stop again and be told it'll be delayed for a further 20
Minutes, and it'll take an other 1hr 10 to avtually get to dublin and another 25 minutes to get to work. I'm snappin
