Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

It's always been the bane of my life when you click into a link on a website and it doesn't open in a new tab. I just this weekend discovered that if you right click the mouse you can open the link in a new tab. I am a total g0b****e.

Yes, I am one of those people that IT/tech people lose their mind over but I'm awfully polite when I am annoying them with awfully stupid questions

I'm trivially annoyed that I've never been summonsed. I've always wanted to be on a jury. Although it would be a nightmare doing it now and trying to organise the kids etc.

It's self preservation really, my reason for not wanting to to it. We had a lot of hassle and intimidation from neighbours who are either related to or friendly with a lot of criminal scum in the Limerick/Clare areas and the odds are that I'd be stuck on a jury in the case of someone they know but I don't know. Also we have a local halting site and a lot of the travellers are often up before the court(fact) as I sometimes look at the court listings pages. I don't need the potential intimidation and sh*t that goes with it.

That's more than a TA!!
Any fish or fish related foodstuffs are banned in the workplace microwave.
Everyone knows that!!

People who say "Your health!" before they take the first sip of their pint.

One of the <snip> brings the most horrifying concoctions for lunch. It's all leftover dinner gunge. If you ask what she's eating you get "Oh I got this on the "about to go off" shelf in Tesco". Are you sure you wiped the mould off it before you cooked it because it doesn't smell so good?
I came back from my own lunch on Thursday (where I ate food actually fit for human consumption) and it smelled like she was after microwaving a dead animal and mixing it up with some eggs. Puke.

Even better, middle mouse button on its own does the job.

Actually on the subject of computers, I have a trivial annoyance.
I was putting away clothes on Saturday and put a pile of clothes down on top of my keyboard, a few buttons were pressed and ultimately my screen turned upside down. No problem fixing it but WHO THE FOOK NEEDS THEIR COMPUTER SCREEN TO BE UPSIDE DOWN OR SIDEWAYS? EVER??

You can get monitors that pivot so that they're in portrait mode. Digital artists tend to use them.

For upside down, I can imagine if you had a projector or something that had to be mounted in a certain way, it can come in handy (although I'm sure projectors have options for that sort of thing).

There are lots of situations where this can be useful. Remember that computers don't just connect to the standard desktop monitor like the one you generally have at home.

Projectors and digital artists, as above, are some good examples. Also, imagine you have the screen mounted on flat surface like a tabletop, for a meeting room, a museum display, a retro arcade machine etc. Or mounted on a swivel arm in a server room or factory. Basically anywhere that it might be useful to reorient the screen at times.

Granted, this seems like a pretty silly feature when you stumble upon it on your home computer. It's a great way to annoy co-workers though.

Alpha Male bullies who like to use force and intimidation to reassure themselves they're top dog

I suspect this is "street" usage of the term Alpha Male, i.e. an illiterate braying ass in desperate need of attention because Mammy never gave him the tit. You'll find that real Alpha Males never act disrespectfully like that. Unless the little bollix is looking for it!

Ugh just there's no words for him, someone who'd come and fling multiple pots of water over an open fire because the "effin house is too hot" or someone who throws your dinner out to the dogs because it "looks like slop" or someone who takes fuses out of electrical appliances because they don't want you to use it. The list is endless

Umm, here is the news - none of that stuff is normal, no-one does that! :pac:

That should be a sackable offence :mad:, yeuch! Why do some people have no consideration for others?

There is someone in our office who microwaves sickly buttery popcorn every so often.
Absolutely minging smell. But fish is much worse.

That type of relationship issue is unfortunately seldom trivial. That said, on balance, the brother may prove to be the more trivial of the two. Keep the faith!

Frigga_92 · 19-01-2015 05:21PM

When someone leaves a door slightly ajar so that there's a cold breeze coming in and the door is tapping. ARGH!

To be honest, the pair of them can Rev up and **** off. It's just those annoying mind games.

People who see something on a spoof news site, or hear a piece of urban myth, and cannot be persuaded that it is not true or that it is a leg pull.

That song uptown funk. It's a headwreck

Trying to figure out why one of my bras is on a chair in the kitchen. I have no clue how that got there.
