My mattress really annoys me. It's less than 2 years old and for the last few weeks we've both been waking up with sore backs.

it's especially bad at weekends. It was kind of cheap, but I think it should have lasted longer than that!

How are your pillows? We were having a similar problem and we bought new pillows, problem solved. You could also try getting a cheap mattress topper.

We've replaced the pillows a few times, didn't seem to make much of a difference. I was thinking about a mattress topper though, maybe I'll try that first.

Clothes on the line 5 minutes and it starts to rain. I want to scream!

Sounds crazy, but it could just work!

People who, having just spent upwards of an hour or more in the departure gates with plenty of toilets nearby, get STRAIGHT UP and go to the toilet the moment the seat-belt sign is off. Would you not just go before a flight so as to stop any panicky trips to the toilet 2 minutes into the flight??

These people should be killed.

My head is melted. I got to the supermarket and before getting out of the car, I couldn't find my purse in my bag. I sent the eldest girl home to get it, while I got the few bits. She came back, couldn't find it anywhere, but lent me some money. I went home and pulled the house apart for over half an hour, no joy. I drove back to the supermarket I was at yesterday just in case it had been handed in, and it wasn't there. My daughter rang the Garda station in case I had dropped it walking home yesterday. It wasn't handed in. I was starting to feel sick as bank cards and some sentimental photos in it. We headed over to my mothers, and we were almost there when I got a burst of divine inspiration. I remembered getting out some mints from the front section of my bag, and putting the purse in there. I remember I thought at the time that I wouldn't remember that I put it in that part as I never do. I'm relieved, but afraid I'm getting Alzheimer's

. On the plus side I found the blusher brush when looking for the purse

Fallling asleep on a nite link ( ok after a few) then taxi home .

I have a sore throat. Not scratchy or tickly; it feels bruised when I swallow. Guess it's my tonsils.
Every time I swallow, it hurts.

I also don't feel great...not ill, but not right. As if I'm coming down with something.
It's a bizarre feeling when you're on the cusp of being well/starting to come down with something. I feel lethargic.

And I went to check our medicine cabinet to see if we had Strepsils and we only have one lozenge, but it's half open and all sticky.
So now I only have soothing tea.
Woe is me.

People who walk beside the footpath on a busy road.

And. Lady in the shop who waited til the cashier had beeped ALL her shopping through before beginning to pack it.

I'm getting more and more impatient in the supermarket lately.

When I'm ready to go to the tills, I actively seek out one of the two women who are actually really nice (and quick at scanning through everything), and if I can't spot them, I've no choice but to go to another till.

Thing is, in my local supermarket, most of the staff are dozy and rude.
There's one in particular who takes an AGE to scan each item and then saunters off to check the price on something.
Her till always has the longest queue, too.

And then those customers who casually unruffle their shopping bags and slowly pack each item.
Have some consideration, ffs!

I avoid my local shop because of today's trivial annoyances. Earlier I queued for 15 minutes (small country shop, not a big city aldi or anything). I forgot something and had to go back again.

Got wine. 'Sall good now

TAs me that although we've plenty to be trivially annoyed about, the trivial things that make us happy thread has been ignored for over a month

whiskeyman · 20-06-2015 06:55PM

Settled down to watch TV after stuffing myself with dinner... but it's so beautiful out, I feel guilty chilling out indoors...

Rubberlegs · 20-06-2015 07:33PM

I like to come across as tough, but that Carly Rae Jepsen I Really like You video really gets to me. I can't really explain why but I think it's because I think Tom Hanks is so cool, and it makes me feel like a total weirdo

I haven't seen it, the song annoys me

Do you know what other song annoys me, that stupid "i found myself a cheerleader"
It sounds so lovely and catchy til you hear the lyrics

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :mad:

One thing I learned the hard way is. If there's one thing you should never scrimp on, it's buying a mattress.

Deli workers who display either or both of the following annoying habits:

1. You ask for a wrap as follows "A plain wrap with some mayo on it", followed by their sarcastic reply of "Is that all you want on it?"...Sigh, no thats not all i want on it but i was giving you a bit of time to get and dress the wrap first before I tell you the ingredients because I would hate for you to fall into category 2:

2. You ask for a wrap as follows "A plain wrap with some mayo on it, and some chicken and

" "Hang on ill just get the wrap first", followed by them spending 5 years taking out the wrap, then with a big fake smile "What would you like on it?". :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Also, in supermarkets, people ahead of you in a long line, when they have all their items scanned and bagged and the worker says "18.60 please", THEN they decide that they need cash for items and stop to root around their wallets for the money with a surprised look on their face, all the while holding up the line even longer". Newsflash people: YOU NEED MONEY TO BUY ITEMS, GET YOUR FCUKING CASH OR CARD READY BEFORE HE OR SHE ASKS FOR IT. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Do you have ice? Ice water is your friend for sore throats. Feel better soon.:)

For a quick charge on smartphone, put on "airplane mode" and the charge is so quick you won't believe it.

3. "Can I have a white roll please"
"Butter or mayo"
"Butter"
"What would you like in it?"

Problem solved

Don't get me started on the girl at my local Spar deli counter. Gives me sausage rolls when I ask for shephards pie. I think I might have to start bringing in pictures of what I want.

Bruce Jenner flashing his transsexual legs all over American Media instead of apologizing to the family of the woman he killed in the car accident. Its obviously an issue that has been weighing on his mind as he has his fashion crew follow him from one magazine to the next applying blusher and discussing his new life. How about a show of humility for the sake of her poor family? Disgusting piece of sh!t.

Thanks, Pumpkin, I'll know next time. Luckily enough my throat's alright now.
I had three cups of tea in an hour and it seems ok now.
But I'll definitely try ice water next time

People who can't give or take decent directions.

There is a special pointy pitchfork waiting for you in the next life.
