    Ah, chocolate.

    This is not annoying, so sorry. I don't eat much chocolate, but I get the goo every so often and I can go a little mad if there is no chocolate in the house, because I need it right then and right there.

    At Christmas there are always boxes of lovely expensive stuff in the house. Some taken by visitors and the rest more or less left in the box.

    So one year I said "sod that" these chocs always end up in the bin. So I decanted them into little ziplock bags 6 at a time at random, and chucked em in the freezer. It works folks, they are just the same defrosted as the day the box was opened. What a feckin revelation!!

    Thing is, when I am taking out the broccolli and all the HEALTHY stuff, I look around to see who is watching, grab the bag of chocs and defrost them out of sight. Then EAT.

    My name is Spanish Eyes and I am a secret choc eater.. lol

    Why are there no functioning vacooms at any garages? After several futile attempts to vacuum my car I gave up and had to do build an extension lead bridge through half the estate to my car. It's a miracle nobody tripped over one of the cables (I had secretly hoped for it just for the sake of it)

    Those dates are only there because of some regulation or other. If it looks all right (no sweating on the sweet) then just eat them. Report back here when done! :D

    The dates on some bars are actually later on opening the box. I've eaten the Flake, all good :). TA that if my guts in bits tomorrow, I won't know if it's the chocolate or the Mugshots, ha I just typed that Mugsh1ts and had to change it :)

    Girls who apply their make up every morning on the bus. Sooo bloody annoying. As for the stupid faces...

    And I'm a make up wearing girl! But applying on public transport is just... eugh

    Or even worse, when you are reading an interesting website, it has a link to something else. Finish reading the link and close the link, except you close the whole website! Feckin hell I hate that.

    I know I can go to history and regroup, but that's too easy, I prefer to be annoyed.

    I found a selection box on a high up shelf in a wardrobe, that I hid last December to have as a spare. It's best before April, so I'm wondering should I chance it.
    I ate 2 spicy tomato pasta Mugshots for dinner because I was a total lazy cow. I'm going to be crippled tomorrow, I never learn :(

    No safety issues for best before dates, just may not be the optimum quality, it's only use by dates you need to worry about

    So I buy a roll of black bin liners earlier, remove the packaging and then rip a bin bag from the roll. I then spent the next fives minutes trying to grip & physically separate the plastic tips of the bin bag. It's the 21st and surely manufacturers are capable of producing bin bags, that don't require MacGyver skills to open them.:(

    A (female) manager in my office went on a rant about this recently...but I really don't see the issue?

    I'll sometimes do it if I'm pushed for time to get to work and if I've a seat to myself...but why does it annoy other people so much?

    My TA is that I've a lift home tonight which is saving me the bus fare but my lift got delayed and won't be here until 12.30 at least...and I'm so sleepy!

    RTÉ - they said they are doing full coverage of Electric Picnic this year, yet here we are, with 33% of the festival complete, and not a peep on RTÉ about it.

    And when they do eventually show something, it'll probably be that idiot Eoghan McDermot interviewing Georgia Flucking Salpa or some RTÉ employee and talking about wellies, while making stupid jokes about frogs and lollipops!!

    Listening to some relaxing ASMR videos on Youtube recently (it's all people whispering and being soft-spoken, tapping on objects, etc, for relaxation) when I nodded off. (Was wearing earphones).
    I woke up with a start to the sounds of a particularly loud Harvey Norman ad:

    "GIT DOWN TO HAHVEY NORMAN THIS WEEKEND! SALE NOW ON! SINEY TV'S, COMPUTAHS, LIPTOPS, ILLICTRICAL APPLIANCES, ALL WITH 25% OFF!"

    I nearly pooed the bed with fright; it was so loud.

    Made the mistake of trying those new Doritos Roulette last night.
    Let's just say using the bathroom this morning was not a pleasant experience.

    I'm a lot more than just trivially annoyed about this but I don't want to de-rail the thread... so I won't mention how unfair it is that he got off just because he's from Dublin :-P

    Back on topic- I'm trivially annoyed today that a wedding invitation arrived to my homeplace today inviting everyone in my family except my brother (who lives in the US) and me ( who lives 1 hour away)... Only trivially annoyed tho as I knew the wedding was coming up and wasn't planning on going anyway!

    It's not a wedding invitation, but one of my wife's friends invited her to an event she's hosting next week, and my wife is moaning protesting that she feels obliged to go. If she hadn't been invited though, I may as well pack my bags and move out for the week until she calmed down :pac:

    I absolutely refused to go myself, so she's ticked off about that as it is, but hoping she can change my mind in between now and next week... TA that my wife doesn't know better by now :p

    In the middle of an online conversation with a friend, I say something that she never responds to, 40 minutes later "Sorry I was watching a movie."

    Bressie always talking about his depression. If he's really depressed then why is his music so sh-te?
