Trivial things that annoy you part 479

For the 4th time in 3 weeks I'm working 32 hours almost straight spread between 2 jobs trying to get ahead of myself for Christmas this year. I hate it. I hate being tired.... And now I'm just that run down im getting sick every couple of days.

Now I know we have a few animal lovers here and all, but I can't keep this one in -

A birthday party, for a dog. Now I know the person putting on the party loves her animals (veterinarian nurse, works with animals, has a houseload of cats, dogs, rabbits, etc)...

But a birthday party, for the dog.

Maybe I'm just not with it any more, but it's the poor dog I feel bad for, lol, "fcuking humans, any excuse to look to their friends like they're having a good time, I just lick my own balls, keeps me happy" :pac:

Beggars in supermarkets. I don't want people harassing me at my door, neither do I want to talk to someone who to offers help to pack my bag as if I am 100 years old while the checkout assistant is asking for ID!

My favourite alms collecting reason so far was the dance group/ club that was trying to gather funds to go to New York. **** you, I would really like to go myself!

I ignore bag packers. I make a point of packing my bags and giving them nothing. F*ck off.

I also really hate the way people beg at ATM's.

I hate chuggers too, although I do delight in barking pro-life lines at the Amnesty chuggers of late, and telling the Dogs Trust people that I have an unfunded sanctuary at home. The Hare Krishnas are about the least annoying and most innocuous of all the people in town trying to grab your attention and your money

All they want to do is beat their little drums and take you to Govindas for a free vegan meal

People assuming that if something is missing that it must be on my desk...and not even f*cking apologizing when they do find it.

I guess those parties are too tame for you jack but at least keep your trousers on for the sake of everyone else.

Definitely a candidate for botox today. Deep, dark ridges are grounded into my forehead so rich that cabbages could sprout out of them in time for the festive season.

I hate this especially when youre on the phone and someone shuffles through your stuff for an envelope or something and when you glare at them they just wave it in the air and smile..Keep your hands off my desk.. muppet:mad:

I read the last bit as "going for a free vagina".

It's official, I need help (or a trip to Specsavers).

I'm sure they wouldn't be quite as marginalised as they are if it were free vaginas they were offering :P

Savage Tyrant · 03-11-2015 11:02AM

No such thing as a free vagina.... You either pay up front or get hit with the hidden charges long term. Either way, you pay.

It's the woman that pays, not the man.

People who borrow stuff and don't give it back. You can borrow any tools or garden furniture or anything I have, but, bring it back back when you say you'll bring it back, and put it back where you got it. I recently gave a loan of power washer to Brother in law, he rings me after 2 weeks to say he's finished with it, did a right job, and to say I could collect it on my home someday as I pass his house. I did collect it, but that's the last time he'll get anything from me.

Depends on the party content. I had planned one for my last dog, as she had a progressive, degenerative disease equivalent to motor neuron disease in people. I knew that her birthday would be her last and I wanted people to be able to say goodbye to her. People that she knew and loved, and that loved her. People who would bring her toys and treats and make a fuss, as that was what she loved. In the end, she was too sick and I didn't go through with it. When she passed, we had a wake, which presumably is for "humans only" also but it was a beautiful way to say goodbye to her and I have no regrets about doing it. She reposed in a handmade coffin surrounded by lillies. Lots of people came and had some drinks, shared food and shared stories about her (some I didn't know of before!). We showed a video of her best pics to Billy Joel's lullabye and between us, made sure that her body wasn't alone at any stage for the 48 hours.

I don't think there is anything wrong with celebrating the life or death of a loved one - no matter how many legs they might have.

TA that I may have just killed the TA thread with doggy death sadness

frozenfrozen · 03-11-2015 12:14PM

TA at the world, I'm sick again, I've got college things due which I should have done last week but was also sick then and couldn't be arsed. the rest of my lectures and labs today were cancelled and tomorrow I have to give a presentation for my FYP which I haven't prepared yet, and the rest of the weeks college is cancelled, after the last week and a half also being cancelled.

Can't do anything interesting with my free time because I've constantly got college work hanging over my head and I'm too sick / can't be arsed, to do anything interesting anyway.

Also I paid three euro for parking today and was only in college for an hour before I found out the rest of the day was cancelled.

there was a little dog at college today and I rubbed him for a second which was pretty good though, so at least there's that

Really hate going into the gp. Don't find them any good. As usual I come out feeling annoyed. Went to the bank then and got told I looked 12 by one of the customer service agents. I'm sick of being told how young I look. Makes me kinda of wish that I could grow facial hair-ha!

Rubberlegs · 03-11-2015 04:54PM

I was at a children's hospital today, and as usual there's a sign up saying the car park is full. The hassle then trying to find parking nearby. On leaving the clampers were out, with a Garda presumably overseeing, about to clamp two cars. All I could think was I hope to God they are not cars belonging to parents, who had to park there in desperation since the car park was full. That's all you'd need on top of having a sick child

That is an absolute pain in the ar$e for Temple Street. The clampers are just lurking there.
My daughter was in there for a operation last year so there was lots of in and outs and physio follow ups.
The main annoyance about the parking situation there is that they have a deal with a nearby carpark where the hospital validates your parking ticket when you leave and you get a discounted rate. They barely advertise it.

Flickering lights.

"I haven't read the book but it's shiite"

"I haven't seen the movie but it's shiite"

"I haven't heard the tune but it's shiite"

Nope, you haven't done any of the above so you don't have an opinion!

Bugs me when people can't simply say that they don't have enough information to make a statement one way or the other. They have to have some kind of input. :mad:

Had to replace 2 bulbs in the space of 5 minutes here over weekend,

Why do they always blow when it is dark.

Ally Dick · 03-11-2015 09:12PM

The Mace 2 litre milk cartons. The plastic they're made of is inferior to the Avonmore version. They burst in the fridge the whole time, leaving a puddle of milk. I'm sick of it

I live in student accomodation and the lights are tricky to change, usually the maintenance man's responsibility. My annoyance is I don't speak the language here yet and my native housemate refuses to ask the maintenance man to come change our kitchen light bulb. We don't even have a window in the kitchen. If the stand off continues, I will have to ask with the aid of googl translate
