Had an absolute **** attack on a roundabout when a Merc which lined up on my right decided to take the 2nd exit from the inside lane nearly wiping me out in the process.

Multi-storey carparks.
It's not often I use them but I had to today as I was visiting a relative in hospital.

The building is four storeys. Each level had ZERO car spaces.
I circled each level twice before I eventually found a space. My nerves were gone as I turned each tight corner in the carpark.

This gombeen of a woman decided to stop in the middle of one lane talking on her phone and when I gestured to her as if to say "What are you doing?!" she mouthed at me to eff off.

Then when I was in the shop buying a bottle of water, the shop assistant never greeted me or thanked me or handed me my change; she just slammed it on the counter and sighed heavily.

Asked a doctor how my relative was doing and he was quite snippy and abrupt with me.

I left the hospital feeling a bit teary. I'm a nice person and I've been awful worried about my relative since they've been in hospital.
People being rude and snidey just make me feel worse.

Me being the big sci-fi nut that I am, I should be having great craic today of all days but instead I'm in a right foul mood for various reasons and wish everybody was dead and that's annoying me because it's not like this date'll come around again

Someone I know has posted at least 5 or 6 Back to the Future themed FB updates today.

Also, I promised I'd cook us something from scratch tonight, but now I'm tired and want pizza.

TA'd that my 3 year old has picked up some swear words recently. I swear alot but ive always monitored it and watched what i was saying around her so i dont know where shes after getting it from.

She was doing a jigsaw today and realised some of the pieces were missing.

She stood over the puzzle, analysed the situation, put her two hands on her hips, took a deep breath and calmly but seriously said to me "we have a fcuking problem mam"!

Received a wedding invitation yesterday. I sat down to read through it last night, and what did I spot? A spelling mistake. What a major boo boo. If they were mine I'd demand they be done again.

I got a few days temping as a receptionist in an office where I used to work and I was delighted with myself! Today though, I came across two idiots (to be fair, I have to say that most people are lovely). I gave a client a newspaper and he sat down and said to me ''oh David Norris is backing gay cousins getting married now, I mean I'm all for equality but that's ridiculous'', so I thought to myself, well that's fair enough, I mean cousins is a bit much, gay or not, so I agreed. Then he comes out with ''you see this is the problem with the yes vote and the referendum, it has opened up a whole can of worms, you'll have a situation soon where men can marry horses, it's ridiculous!''. I had to bite my tongue so hard not to say anything :P

Then in the afternoon a guy rings and asks to speak to a solicitor, any solicitor, so I asked him if he was a client and he said no, then I asked him what the matter is in relation to (because different solicitors deal with different issues, such as litigation, employment law, family law etc) and he got really angry and asked if he had to pay to talk to a solicitor, then someone else rang in so I asked him if I could put him on hold and he was like ''I suppose so, if you have to'', and then I got back to him 30 seconds later and I asked him if I could have his name, and he flipped out and said he'd already given it to me (he hadn't) but I just said ''oh I'm sorry, I mustn't have written it down and then he said ''well you're a fcuking idiot, aren't you'' and hung up. Knocked my confidence and I'd been feeling so proud of myself for doing a good job, asshole

Bad day at the office. Don't take any heed. Just smile while you are talking to them. They are stressed out of their heads, and take it out on you. FACT.

I worked in a job where I'd get all sorts roaring down the phone at me. At the first sign of a rant, I used to put the phone gently on my desk, (I could hear the ranter), and when silence ensued, I would lift up phone from said desk and say something like, "thank you sir/madam, I'm sorry, but the line went a bit odd there, could you maybe tell me again and I will do everything I can to help you". The fight goes out of em after a while.

I don't blame them, I have been that person. I often felt very sorry that I had a go at the person on the end of the phone. Silence is a good thing. Let them talk and then help.

Hope tomorrow is better for you.

lesson of the day, people can be *****. nothing worse then someone projecting their ****ty personhood onto you. its hard not to take it personally but in the end they're more to pitied in their smallness, they could've been having a bad day themselves but its no excuse. hopefully you'll both be laughing about them tomorrow or whenever.

had to reply to these as I cant stand geebags like the ones you describe

The problem is that people seem to be more ****e than usual at the moment,honestly I think its becoming impossible to reason with them.I deal with it everyday but its definitely a lot more difficult than it used to be eg I asked a woman today what connection she had with an a/c and she lost it.."Whatcha mean?" I asked if she was the owner or the manager or what.."Who doya want me to be?"..I just wanted to tell her to fcuk herself tbh but had to bite my tongue,its nearly chewed away at this stage.:(

God my heart goes out to you. I know exactly what you mean. Doctors are doing a job, they don't really have any emotional investment in the patient, their job is to get them better.

Whereas you, or any relative is in bits.

It's not easy to compartmentalise yourself, but I have learned to do it now. Multiple hospital traumas etc. won't go into it here.

Focus on the patient. If they are comfortable for now, that's good, if they are in distress, kick up a fuss. Talk to the nurses. They cannot give prognosis or anything, but they are usually great at reassurance.

Wish you well.

Sometimes I wish my work was like Ally McBeal where I could just drift in to a fantasy and tell them all exactly what I feckin think of their sorry assess.

I saw a person with an "Only God can judge me" tattoo. I have to give him points for it being spelt correctly. It could have been a fake tattoo, it had to be, nobody would actually choose a tattoo like that.

I wasnt backstage of the Jeremy Kyle show where it would be understandable to see it.

Thanks so much, you're very kind.
The nurses are all lovely..it's just the doc who's a bit abrupt.
I think everything got on top of me today; we all get days like that.
Thanks again

Well you're judging them, so I guess their tattoo isn't technically correct

Ability to spell correctly, or any technical ability, has little or no correlation to religious belief (or lack thereof). Now you can say you think atheists are smarter, but you can't claim things like they are generally much better spellers or better at other things, especially not as a rule.

Medusa22 · 21-10-2015 08:43PM

Aw shucks, everyone is so nice in the trivial annoyances thread, it is my favourite thread on boards. I think a TA beers would be brilliant, we all go out and get sh1tfaced and give out about our trivial annoyances

brain suggesting I should be trivially annoyed at this in whichever of its several variations its true form really is.

They've changed hotmail/outlook whatever the hell it is again. I'm only after getting used to the new version (new as in last 2 years). I was very upset when I logged in.

I lost an account on that because they ceaselessly kept stalking me for my phone number. I didn't give it and in the end lost the account. Thanks NSA, 99.99% of my digital life must not be enough.

additional t.a: ran out of my maitre jean pierre pains aux chocolate, I believed I had some remaining however on further inspection this was found to be untrue, also lidl are now closed, separately I have no cornflakes in for the morning.

this is not acceptable.

I hadn't noticed the venerable RRB to have made a generalised religious comment but maybe you'd like to elaborate?

He was making the statement about some particular group.

* People who get tattoos.
* People who are religious.
* People who think phrases like that are worth a lot.

Or some combination of all three.... and tying them to poor spellers. I assumed it was the religious aspect. I'm pretty sure the same goes for the other groups mentioned... that there is little or no meaningful relationship between them and poor spellers.

If its possible to die from tiredness then Im on the way out,absolutely exhausted and couldnt get up up off the couch if I was paid.

Just tried to pause the TV and its saying theres not enough disc space,its the first time thats ever happened and Id be too embarrassed to say what Ive been recording for months but dont really ever get to watch it.It was mentioned a few posts ago though,please dont judge me:o:D

I was commenting more on that you often see pictures of those "inspirational" quote tattoos being spelt wrong.

I would be surprised if there was a correlation between spelling and religion. It probably helped that there was no to/too/two or there/their/they're.
