Trivial things that annoy you part 479

I'm annoyed at myself. I can't stop buying stupid stuff lately, and promised myself that I'd put a stop to it, the amount of clutter I have to get rid of in the next few weeks is scary.

Now I'm wondering if I should buy 100 cute kids plastic spoons for €10. I really want them, but I know they'll just be in the way and end up getting thrown out, and it's a massive waste of €10.

Yet I still want them.

Hey, try discovering that your birth date is closer to a (pre-war) Nazi outrage than today for a genuine TA.

I just realised I'm now older than my dad was when I was born. :eek:

My new neighbours (parents with three kids) are very nice and all, but my Jesus they're noisy.

The walls here are not that thick, so every time someone closes a cupboard, it sounds like someone slamming a wrecking ball against the wall.
Plus two of the kids have taken to playing football out the back and the sound of the ball smacking the wall is driving me mental.

Their baby seems to cry ALL. THE. TIME.
I'm not even joking; it does nothing else.

Then I can hear the kids whining all the time that they're hungry, they want to go out and play, they want this and that and the parents are pandering to their every whim.

I feel like telling them that when I was a kid, we wouldn't dream of making demands of our parents like that.

The mother has said to me outside "I hope we're not too noisy for you", but what can you say?
"Yeah you're actually really noisy, actually"? Can't say that.

Just gotta get over it, I suppose.

Another TA is that while it's really warm outside, my house is freezing.

Had a guy call to my door earlier and the first thing he said was "Is this your house or your Mam and Dad's?"

And then he tried selling me a CCTV system.
I politely told him I'd have to consult my other half, but he was adamant on putting me down "provisionally" for it to be done.

I told him "No, don't put me down", to which he replied: "Ah sure I'll put you down and you can change your mind afterwards."
NO.

I won't change my mind AFTERWARDS. If I want it done, I'll tell you.
He tried getting me to sign this booking and I promptly told him "No, I'm not signing anything."
Bugger off.

So fcuking tired of listening to my neighbour hammer stuff. Every fcuking day there's something he's tinkering with. On Saturday he not only power hosed his own car, he did the 5 cars that belong to other neighbours. I'm not sure he even asked. Ordinarily it wouldn't bug me so much but Mr P was signed off sick for the rest of the week, he was on nights last night and is trying to get a bit of sleep. My Dad says yer man has worms and can't sit still, the neighbour, not Mr P.

My neighbour uses a chainsaw late at night and early in the morning almost every day a week. He has wood in big chunks which is makes smaller to sell as fire wood and it grates on me so much.

There is building works going on about 10metres from my house and on a saturday last week I was trying to have a lie in and got woke by some gob ****e singing "Oh danny boy" so loudly. What builder belts that out at 8am on a Saturday! Why that song! Argh

I went to pilates and I'm in agony now. Then I got very violent hiccups and now my throat itches and my nose is like a tap.

I NEED a new body!!!

someone directly outside cutting the grass so loud you cant hear the telly, and have to turn it up to ridiculous levels to hear anything.

The road rash on my leg from a running fall being very visible in all my summer dresses, and it's supposed to be in the mid 20s tomorrow so I'd like to wear one :mad:
