Trivial Things That Annoy You — Rules in Post #1

Is anyone else trivially annoyed at the abbreviations TA'd?

Rubberlegs · 22-04-2016 6:20pm

I bought a lovely bunch of grapes , but forgot to check that they were seedless, and they're not. Life is too bloody short to be picking seeds out of grapes

Posters whose posts I really enjoyed closing their accounts / dropping off the face of Boards.
I noticed one of my favourite perfumes says "fragrant wellbeing water" or some such on the box. Wellbeing is up there with mindfulness for me. Can't abide clappy happy tree hugging hippy nonsense:(

Not really all that TA'd about that tbh

TA'd that I'm trying to think of a TA to add to this post as every post must have a TA, and can't think of anything, but as soon as I'm offline I'll probably think of about ten.

I just do not get Grapes. Gripes yes, but Grapes, no especially with seeds yuk!

I cannot say anymore or the Charter Police will be after me.

What a way to spend a Friday Night with nice, likeminded people.

Anyway, before I get a card. Grapes are lovely, so are other posters who just fecked off because of over moderation.

YIKES, I am next.

So be it.

Samsgirl · 22-04-2016 6:43pm

TA that the farmer spreading ****e in the field next door didn't bother to tell me before he started. Not like he couldn't see my washing line full of sheets & towels.
House reeks of ****e & I have three washing loads to rewash.

TA'd there were no FNB's this evening, went for a run instead, whoopee fúckin' do :rolleyes:

whatismyname · 22-04-2016 7:49pm

TA that I don't know what a FNB is, and that Google doesn't help much, as I doubt previous poster is meaning First Nationsl Bank

Yes, loads of SAB's! You'll be more than TA'd in the morn if you go to town on the Paddy

Also TA'd that I forgot to the double I had for Dundalk tonight, they both won ffs! Not great prices tbh but prob would have paid 5/2 or 11/4ish

whatismyname · 22-04-2016 7:53pm

TA that I don't know what a SAB is.

Probably not South African Breweries.

TA that Google doesn't answer everything after all.

Spanish Eyes · 22-04-2016 8:44pm

TA'd that there was a "porridge bowl" in my kitchen tonight. Yup, not put in water, nor rinsed. OMG concrete city.

The perpetrator is not here either, so that is a double TA.

Rogueish · 22-04-2016 9:52pm

I'm soo tired but TA'd that an apple pie I put in the oven is taking too long..... Hurry up so I can go to bed!

KatW4 · 22-04-2016 10:02pm

I'm TA'd that I'm away for the weekend and it seems like the vomiting bug I had last week has come back. Great.

EmptyTree · 22-04-2016 10:19pm

My TA is that kildare village only list what they have by Brand and don't give a list of shops, it's bloody meaningless..... So frickin annoyed..... By something so trivial....

Xaracatz · 22-04-2016 10:33pm

TA'd that I can't get to the exact right temperature right now. Open a window and I'm too cold. Put on the heating and I'm too hot. Open the window and put on more clothes, and I'm too hot and then too cold.

Similarly, TA'd that my shower is doing that thing where you need some sort of laser tuning device to stop it from turning from burning hot to freezing for no apparent reason. Has been happening for the last few weeks and I usually forget it after each morning.

TA'd that I remembered about the shower thing.

mud · 22-04-2016 11:55pm

Couldn't move all day and full of beans now. TA.

23-04-2016 12:28am

My main trivial annoyance at the minute is with myself. I would be here all night if I was to go through all the crap right now.
But yeah annoyed with me for never learning

Robsweezie · 23-04-2016 12:40am

Jokey, passive aggressive, mildly threatening adverts on the radio reminding you to pay your tv license, toll etc. They're doing it with the census now. " please answer the door and fill out your census form or we'll fuucking kill you, you will NOT **** this up for us!".

RoadhouseBlues · 23-04-2016 12:59am

My TA is about my uncle's situation. He had a stroke a couple of years ago, and doesn't use his left arm. He is great. He is almost 80. He would have you in convulsions laughing. He goes to the pub and has a 7 Up. However, there is a local person who doesn't leave him alone. Constantly baiting him and annoying him. I would love to attack him (he would feckin' kill me). Its not fair though. This fecker annoys everyone. But to bother a man that is nearly 80 is fecked. I still want to attack him...:-)

TG1 · 23-04-2016 7:17am

I was perfectly healthy all week and was well able to work 13 hours a day, and woke up on Saturday dosed with a cold. Typical! Very trivially annoyed today.

bonzodog2 · 23-04-2016 10:06am

TA'd at 'microfibre' 'teatowels' that don't absorb water.
TA'd that BoomBap can't spell trivial
TA'd the other threads were closed

Sapphire · 24-04-2016 11:16am

Trivially annoyed that I have to go someplace today. The only place I want to be is in my PJ's.

Its a Friday, which means that Facebook is full of people telling you its a Friday, usually accompanied by a (what they consider to be) witty picture or cartoon.

Also, we will have a day of radio DJs telling us the weekend has officially begun. Like it isn't allowed to happen until they say so.

.... and now on Sunday we have all the same people posting "oh no, I can't believe tomorrows Monday" stuff.

major bill · 24-04-2016 12:21pm

It annoys me when you are stuck behind a car at a red light and the driver in front is distracted by either talking to the person beside him/her in passenger seat or on the phone thus taking him/her an age to notice the green light!! this goes on at each traffic light!! you dont need to look at the person when talking to them :mad:

aaronjumper · 24-04-2016 12:21pm

I have a cold. Damn it.

Samsgirl · 24-04-2016 12:54pm

TA that Mr Sam took upon himself to fill out my details on the census form without asking / discussing with me.

AndyBoBandy · 24-04-2016 1:04pm

TA'd when joining a motorway (especially when driving my mam's 1.0L Yaris), the car in front is on the on ramp and is ambling along at about at 60 km/h and doesn't seem too interested in accelerating up to motorway speed!!

Dammit man I need that downward slope to pick up speed!!!

Also;

TA'd that I only found this thread today!!! I had so many TA's the last 3 days that I've forgotten!!

Or when you are trying to Join the motorway and a load of pricks are driving at a snails pace on the outside lane while centre lane is empty making it difficult to get on the fecking thing!!

trivially annoying how it cost me thousands to go to college this year between fees and having my own car which I wouldn't need otherwise.. and then someone who got a big grant and fees paid because he's from far away was complaining to me that he had to pay 45 euro to get a thesis printed and bound and that I was allowed to print mine at home

trivially annoying how the other day when I was going into the carpark in college some guy with his window down said "stay in ur lines" when he was the one who had his tyres actually on top of the centre line AND he had just rolled through a stop sign without actually stopping. I couldn't believe how annoying his voice was to me. it reminded me of that cyclist from dublin that makes the videos.

Trivially annoying when someone tries to overtake you on a roundabout but they actually go through much slower than you and then they think you're racing or something.

Trivially annoying when someone takes forever to move over to the overtaking lane to let you merge onto the dual carriageway and then they just stay out in that lane for the next 10 minutes, like changing lanes costs money or something.

trivially annoying when someone enters the roundabout while you're going around, and then they take the same exit as you and they don't let you move into the left lane, and again act like you're in a race or something

trivially annoying when someone is indicating to go around the roundabout so you come to a stop.. and they then take the exit before you.

Trivially annoying when you're getting a lift from someone and they do all of the above.. and more.. and you don't want to say a word to them

Trivially annoying when you try your absolute best to overtake a cyclist at the safest place and they don't appreciate it. there was a guy the other day and I stayed behind him for a good couple of KMs, over speed bumps, around a corner, waited for the straight, rev matched down from 5th 4th 3rd.. indicated, pulled out giving loads of space and overtook in the shortest amount of time possible.. I could still see the guy shaking his head slightly at me in the rear view.

Thank god the trivially annoying thread is back, I couldn't cope without it.

Ted_YNWA · 24-04-2016 4:07pm

TA'd at long posts, especially when on phone. Even more so if someone decides to quote the whole bloody thing.

TG1 · 24-04-2016 4:18pm

TA'd that I am completely stuffed up, but it's all in my sinuses so I don't look or sound particularly sick so no one is giving me sympathy...

bodhrandude · 24-04-2016 4:26pm

TA that the silence from Electric Picnic festival is deafening, c'mon dudes give us the second wave of announcements.

This is my TA too, my sinuses are killing me! Come into my bosom there for some comfort.

Boom_Bap · 24-04-2016 6:50pm

Ah the p0xy census form, I forgot about it. I'm going to fill it in now with a novelty jumbo sized pen from Dubrovnik.

Spudgun · 24-04-2016 7:59pm

pot holes pot holes everywhere!

Rogueish · 24-04-2016 8:32pm

On my way to meet a friend and I've forgotten my glasses/ contacts...

My ankles are so swollen that I barely got my boots to zip up..

McChubbin · 24-04-2016 9:49pm

Yay! I missed this thread! And so, I shall bemoan once more!

TA #1: Got the 41c home from the village today and the bloody bus driver kept packing people on like sardines despite it being standing room only on account of the slew of Dublin supporters heading into Croker for t'match. Could hardly breathe from the stench of Lynx off the eejit who kept his arm up to grip the rail. A pox on the people pushing and shoving me from behind- they kept edging me closer and closer to his armpit until I had a bit of a panic attack and jumped off the bus a stop early. I HATE PACKED BUSES.

TA #2: My faithful tea pot is no more, meaning I can't brew up a pot of green tea to sip whilst I attempt to tackle my long-put off writing attempts. Got the news when I came home that the lid went AWOL and the handle broke off in my mother's hands as she was taking it out of the press. Sure, I might pick up a new one in Tiger but to my knowledge, they no longer due the big white ones anymore.

TA #3: I think I might be getting a cold. Nose is running like a tap and my chest feels heavy. I'm meant to be going away to visit friends this weekend so it's a triffle inconvenient to say the least...

TA #4: I can't remember how to use the camera controls in The Sims 4 and I've misplaced my manual. Kind of annoying when I'm trying to build a house from scratch and can't view a room from a different angle....

everlast75 · 25-04-2016 10:16am

I'm a bit more than trivially annoyed about the CONSTANT top news story being the negotiations between FG and FF. It has been endless speculation (emphasis on speculation) and nothing of substance reported

If I were to be cynical I would think its all with a view to cover up other news stories, such as the mental health budget being halved etc.

Boom_Bap · 25-04-2016 10:20am

Thread closed temporarily to trivially annoy you.

Boom_Bap · 25-04-2016 11:31am

Thread Re-Opened after review.

Trivially annoyed at your over estimation of how much we actually missed the thread.

*that TA's me

alchemist33 · 25-04-2016 2:47pm

Maybe this only happens in Donegal/The North, but bedsheets/posters/displays on large outdoor TV screens proclaiming "Lordy lordy, Mary's forty". Or worse, "Nifty shifty, Teresa's fifty." Who says "nifty shifty"? What the hell does "nifty shifty" even mean? It's a nonsense phrase that only serves to rhyme with Fifty and just sounds stupid.

Go on, go around town and say "nifty shifty" to random people and see how long it takes the guards/PSNI to catch up with you.

OldNotWIse · 25-04-2016 2:51pm

I saw (and was TA'd by :rolleyes:) a carpet shop the other day that has "GET LAID" in huge writing on it's front. Like seriously....

Pre and post weekend chit chat annoys me.

"Are you doing anything for the weekend?".

Three days later....

"Did you do anything for the weekend?"

Fúck off you inquisitive small talkery bástard

eisenberg1 · 25-04-2016 3:09pm

People talking about other people as if you know them.

"We were over in Brian and shiela's for at the weekend"

Who the fug are they? Actually scrap that, I don't care who they are.
