Fair play. There are none of them looking for me, much to my dismay.

We get ours from a farm, but I guess the same applies? So it really is just.... an egg?

Yeah I'd imagine so. Usually they'd only let the rooster in with the hens if they want eggs to be hatched.

I didn't reserve a seat. A lady came around saying you're entitled to a refund if you have to stand after reserving a seat.

Damn.

"Tommy O'Gorman, RTE news, Belfast"

Watch the way he holds the microphone, a big mad fist around it. It looks like they have a problem with the local skobes racing up on BMX's and snatching the mike from his hands.

The other guy who reports from Belfast does the same thing.....weird.

IPhones must come with screens already cracked. unbelievable amount of them around all smashed up.

What is the point asking you if you want your roll cut in half if they are only going to half cut it?

Running at lunch....tyrying to eat at desk....constant interruptions.....also reminded of all the people who are TA'd by others eating at their desks.... :P

TA - WH Smith.

Not sure if there's any in ROI... but in UK they annoy me.

Have a pile of special offer chocolates etc on the counter. Staff are obliged to ask every single customer if they want any of these special offers for only a pound. Even, of course, if one of your purchases is actually one of the special offers.

I say no.

Continue with my purchase. They lump a pile of discount vouchers for things I don't want - usually mcdonalds, or very.co.uk (but only a discount if you open up a credit account) on top of my purchase. I take my purchase, put the discount vouchers back on the counter and walk away.

It goes like this every time, and it's annoying.

Staff, I know, are obliged to go through this routine every single time they serve a customer, and it must be so annoying for them... and I know for me I find it so very impersonal, reminds me of getting served by a robot who's churning out the same lines again and again and that it's discouraging staff from seeing customers as actual people...

Thankfully some of their bigger shops have self-service checkouts.. which I'd always choose over people.

Before anyone says why go into WH Smith if it annoys you, but often in railway stations they're the only shop available...

I'm annoyed that my runs (hehe) are getting too long now so I can't do them at lunch time anymore.

That's an idea

You could try Ovomaltine crunchy cream too.

If there was a Ferrero Rocher spread then it would cost a fortune.
Mr Ambassador may even squint at that cost!

You can get Malteser spread now, it's basically a chocolate spread with crunchy little malty balls in it. I guess that's the closest thing to crunchy Nutella, just without the nuttiness.

Chocolate salty balls

I found some of last years Summer's clothes while I was having a tidy. Trivial annoyance is that they're 'snugger' than last year, even though I promised myself I'd lose weight. Someone break out the chocolate cake.:(

When you think of a TA and you accidentally post it in whatever thread you happen to be in at the time. Note to self: I am not always in the TTTAY thread.... My foolishness has been immortalised forever in a serious thread about role models, reproduction and family values - by me complaining that someone just whistled while on the phone and took my ear off

TA - When I catch a side glance of myself in a mirror and realise I look like a family member I don't want to look like. urgh.

That everything is a fcuking challenge these days. 'The Aldi challenge', yeah it's such a challenge to do your grocery shopping in a different shop!

Single beds.

I know I booked a single room in this hotel to save money, but single beds are so fecking annoying.

Getting nice and relaxed in bed then receiving a text message while my phone is charging on the floor on the other side of the room :mad:
