I've never called in sick in the 8 years that I've been in my current job, but instead of feeling like I can call in sick if I have to because management will know I am not faking, it's actually had the opposite effect. I feel like I cant break my own personal record or something

I was on a roll too, haven't had a week off sick in years, had 3 days off this year for hospital appointments (2 last yr and no days off at all in 2013) I got called in by boss on behalf of head office last week about my excessive sick leave, 3 absences within 6 months, FFS, why bother be good?

In Some of the places I have worked, you get more thanks if you take every second Monday off due to some sort of "24 hour virus".

Better again if you do emergency cover over the weekend (ching ching) and then seem to be unlucky enough to only get sick on your normal days..its a joke tbh Its always the same few and yet theres nothing said in case they might get offended. I had 15 yrs unbroken until this year and I was gutted when I had to take the time off.....different folks ect.

On another note has anyone else got turned of kiwis and plums due to reading this thread?I cant face mine now because of Jacks bits..its an awful waste of good fruit;):D

Wham once sang "Club Tropicana, drinks are free..." The problem is that they probably are on an all-inclusive package. They are paying for all those drinks in their ticket price, pus the drinks are probably low grade. So a better lyric would be "Club Tropicana, drinks are all-inclusive..."

They also sang "Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away" Well, that would be fatal. So how are they singing about it?!?!?!?

Finally they sang "Wake me up before you go-go. Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo" To be honest their partners are clearly sado-masochists if they are being forced to hang on like a yo-yo. Rather than asking to be woken up they should be developing a strategy to call the Gards and arrange a rescue.

Non-logical song lyrics annoy me.

People awkwardly shoehorning the stand up routine they wrote in 1988 but were too scared to try in real life into the trivial annoyance thread annoy me.

My TA is that cold Menas mentioned. I think everyone has it. Miserable

My TA today is seeing disaster where there is none. I went down the slip to the sea today, the sea was right in and splashing up against the rails. There was an empty buggy, a pair of man's runners, and a pair of children's shoes on the low wall where people sit. I looked left and right and all I could see was sea. I thought I was going to vomit. I sat down for a minute, and visualised ringing the Garda station. To my right is a steep set of steps leading down to the beach, so I go over for a look. Down at the very bottom is a Dad and a little child playing, in the one spot of beach that the sea has yet to reach. The relief !!

Also I have a spot so big on my face that it's the only thing I can see from my right eye. So ugly looking!

People constantly referencing stuff, you would have had to been an adult to see, from the 70's and 80's. I never watched any of those sitcoms and then they launch into a huge explanation I am just about old enough to know what Fraiser and Seinfeld are and even then only because my parents watched them and its now on Netflix (Fraiser and Everybody Loves Raymond)

Radio newsreaders making a bunch of mistakes on air. Some of them not even logical seeming mistakes, which have no "flow" whatsoever, even though they're reading the damn thing. One mistake is grand, but a whole plethora together... headwrecking. Usually only seems to happen on small local stations though.

Uncharitable of me I know, but it really annoys me!

No I'm the same...there used to be one called Noel something, don't know if he's still about but he had terrible affected delivery and it irritated me so much I couldn't listen to him at all.

I have great difficulty listening to books off Librivox or podcasts where people read books or stories for the same reason. Especially the American one's, jfc

Those dodgy free movie sites that put up a video called something like "x (date) full movie)" and it's a 1hr 45 min long video of them saying "YouTube took down the video for copyright reasons, please visit the link below..,..fúck those guys.

The worst I saw was some asshat who put up episodes of Firefly he'd filmed by holding his phone in his hand and pointing it at his television, then put three ad breaks in each episode. I don't know how he got away with that one. A lot of the camerawork in Firefly is already hand-held, so it was actually nausea-inducing.

Oh yes, even the way he used to pronounce his own name, think it was Fogarty and he used to say something like Fergaty!

While on the subject of newsreaders, those that say good morning for the news at midnight. Midnight is not morning, especially when I haven't been to bed yet!

Ahhh that's the one! I think people don't really get that just because you can read and speak doesn't mean you're good at reading out loud - it's a particular skill. A lot of the Librivox recordings seem to be done by people who are using them as a kind of speech therapy, or amateur actors using them as a kind of practice. Which, fair play to them, but I don't really want to listen to that.

When people use the same spoon to get their sugar after they've used it to get their coffee and don't at least make sure there's none left on the spoon. I do not want grains of coffee on my weetabix thanks very much!

On a website with an album of pictures (say looking at rooms on hostelworld.com or similar), and the album opens in a new window in front of the old browser window.

You need to click on this < or this > to move from picture to picture. But, the album hasn't been laid out properly and the icons do not stay in the same place for the whole album, so after each picture, you need to search for the < or >, or you will unwittingly click outside the album and automatically close it.

fussyonion · 02-10-2015 10:15AM

There was a woman newsreader on 98FM the other day and for the whole report she kept making mistakes and stumbling over her words.
It REALLY annoyed me.

Fruity herbal teas that don't taste fruity unless you keep the teabag in and really squeeze the bejaysus out of it.

Cooking the same meals every week on rotation because I don't know what else to cook and as my name suggests, I am fussy.

DareGod · 02-10-2015 10:25AM

When otherwise fantastic albums are ruined by two or three really sh_tty, terrible, bland songs, that there was absolutely no need to include on it.

Especially when the album has, like, fifteen or more songs on it. No album needs more than twelve songs!

People who agree to met you off done deal or adverts to buy something off you and you get everything ready for them and last min sorry not buying anymore or they don't txt you back when you ask are you still coming to buy the phone or game ....

califano · 02-10-2015 10:49AM

When someone posts a video or podcast and says the point of interest is "About 20 minutes in". About 20 minutes?. How about saying the exact moment seeing as you took the time to embed the video!.
Is it an attempt to avoid being uncool by saying 21m36s in?

It largely depends on when that episode was uploaded. YouTube once only allowed people to upload a certain amount of minutes per video, up until recently.. Maybe 2 or 3 years?
