TA - whenever I have coffee, I crave something sweet.
Just goes perfect together, but really trying to avoid sugar recently...
Guess I better stay off coffee too

Shyness and bad hearing are a terrible combination! I either can't speak up because I'm shy and afraid of miss-speaking or I can't follow what is being said because conversation is being drowned out by background noise. It's grand if I'm face to face with someone - I can read their lips, but if someone is speaking beside me or behind me I might not even know that they're talking!

I'd be shy enough, and a low-talker. Sometimes I say stuff and wonder if anyone heard anything I said. Meanwhile, the three family members that I see most are fairly deaf. It can be frustrating, even when I'm trying (louder than usual) to be heard...

I heard someone use the word 'deets' the other day, as a short for 'details'.

'here, send me on the deets...'

Did that extra syllable really tax your poor brain too much you had to shorten the word??

Jesus wept!!

I thought it was just me with the hearing!! I am always having to ask people to repeat themselves. If I am out, I struggle to follow conversation especially when there is music or loud chatter. I've done the whole nod and smile and hope for the best. Its so awkward around people I don't know well

. My Dad had trouble with his hearing in his last few years, and his Dad wore hearing aids. I resigned myself to the fact it's a family thing. The most frustrating thing has been getting the hearing tests at Specsavers and being told I have almost perfect hearing, just a tiny bit of low level loss. The hell I do! Tell that to my family who are sick to their back teeth of repeating themselves

The priority boarding option on Ryanair.com. Why would any sane person pay for this when you have your seat reserved? Also 2.5euro for a text reminder about your flight? For braindead people who forget everything.

when people dont bring their rubbish to the bin in fast food restaurants and just leave it there as 'thats what theyre paid for'

I remember a good few years ago been in work and there was 4/5 older men who would be in the canteen every day, at the end of their lunch, they would just lift up the table and let all the stuff fall on the ground, like tinfoil of their sandwich's, empty crisp packets, cigarette butts ( it was a long time ago!!) ect, and one day someone pulled them up on it and asked why they were doing this, and their reply was simply "that's what the cleaners are here for!" :mad::mad::mad::mad:

I find bars with loud music impossible to socialise in.

You're not the only. I go out for some good conversation and some good craic. Leaning across a table struggling to hear and failing miserably while trying to lip read, is certainly not my idea of fun. I'd had my fill of smiling and nodding like an idiot, while someone asks me a question I can't possible hear.:(

agreed and even in night clubs when your trying to chat up some young wun without screaming in her ear or getting a bit too close, doesnt allow for my charasmatic personality to make up for my average good looks:(

the term is cringy and cliched in celebrity journalism, but it does describe a type of behavior that is seen here on boards as well.

Last flight I was on only the first 50 or so were allowed carry on bags, the rest had to leave them at the end of the air bridge and collect them from baggage claim at the other end. If you only have a carry on that could be a pain.

No reminder from anyone not to put your passport back in your bag either. Would have been fecked if I hadn't remembered that.

When the microwave door is just left open, and the timer isn't at zero.

(Could be something to do with deeper OCD issues though)

Blokes who close both buttons on a suit jacket...

The fact that the term 'unlimited' is used when it's followed by 'fair usage '. So basically it's not unlimited then?

The advertising authorities shouldn't allow the use of unlimited unless it is truly unlimited.

Waiters/waitresses who look at you as if you are mental because you ask
For vinegar to go on the chips you have ordered. I don't care how upmarket you are trying to be, if you are serving chips, bring vinegar!

Gamer Bhoy 89 · 15-09-2015 02:47PM

People who do that loud exhalation when they finish a drink. I understand it's common to exhale after drinking because you are sort of holding your breath when you think about it. But c'mon, do you need to do it so f**king loudly?

Boom_Bap · 15-09-2015 02:52PM

I may have said this a long time ago but it has just come into my head again.

In Subway when you as for a Subway Melt (clue is in the title) and the sandwich artists asks you if you would like the sandwich toasted. No, I want the cheese MELTED, not the entire sandwich toasted.
They just dont get it.

And before anyone questions this, here's the info on the sandwich:

The melted cheese performs a chemical reaction to make the meat form neutral. I may have just made that up.

Trivially annoying when you can't hear someone in a loud environment and they can't understand why you're not able to hear them, almost as if they've never come across this phenomenon before.

Life is too short for nodding and pretending to hear what they said so I ask them to repeat themselves once and if I still don't get it I just shout back that I can't hear them. Sorry. It's not you, it's me.

Trivially annoying when people think I'm rude / socially awkward / quiet for doing the above. Not my fault I can't hear you and I can't be arsed going through 15 attempts for you to ask me if I'm going anywhere on holidays or how college is going.

FallSilently · 15-09-2015 04:41PM

First time I heard the term "sandwich artist" is about ten posts up and that's going on the list.
