Things That Trialvilly Annoy You.

Getting a packet of “cream crackers” that are broken right down the middle. Every. Single. One.

You think some are fine until you try butter them and then “snap!”. Incredibly irritating.

Randomly TA'd that the most common criticism of one of my favourite bands is that they're 'too mainstream'. What - too many people like them? Oh, no!...

When the wife says she wants to go on a trial run.

FFS, it's trail...

P.S. She really means xc. She thinks anything off a tarmac or concrete path is a trial, er trail.

People that go out and about in their pjs. Sheer laziness.

Spilling bleach on my new hoody, right down the front too.

I have an ongoing saga with a local company since February.
Trying to find out the status of an order and if/when I can collect it.

This is why Amazon and the likes are always expanding.

CMT did exactly that to me earlier.
We were having a play fight-wrestle over the remote control and she kneed me in the you-know-whats. :eek:
She said it was an accident but I have my suspicions. She did bring me tea and choccie biccies to say sorry however.

I have a cunning plan, I'll pretend I'm still hurting and obtain the remote through emotional blackmail.

Tonight, we will watch what I want for a change.

TA'd about when you sit down to watch a programme on linear tv.

The first 2 minutes is a preview/montage of what you are going to see in the next hour (especially for documentaries but even for crime programmes).

I kinda know why they do it (to try to capture viewers attention) but it ruins any suspense and is effectively cheap padding to make the programmes (especially 30 minute) seem more substantial.

Its such a treat when you watch something off a DVD/streaming where you don't have the preview or can skip over it

Mollyb60 · 26-03-2020 11:02am

Builders going into my neighbours house this morning, during the lockdown. 4 men, one of them must be near to 70. What the fcuk is wrong with my neighbours??? This is not the time to get your bedroom redecorated!!!

Does anyone remember these?

Well, I've been hearing a sound like the alarm from one of these from down the street at odd hours for some time now, waking me up. Seems to be some sort of bird and the sun rising earlier means the fecker is doing his alarm routine earlier as well. Sod.

The Casio F-91W was “favoured” by Al-Qaeda terrorists’ bomb makers.

Best not to be wearing one if travelling in the States.

I got an expected courier delivery just now. Driver knocked on the door, didnt wait, left parcel just outside the door. Could at least have tried ringing the bell!

Antares35 · 26-03-2020 3:30pm

Ronan Keating "hints that Storm has gone into labour". Last week he "had the virus". Would you ever just f*ck off. We are in the middle of a pandemic. Nobody cares about your wife going into labour. I normally welcome non-covid news as a distraction but I would actually rather read about the world's end than read about him and his wife and their reproductive status.
Take your own advice as they say - you say it best when you say nothing at all.

Probably something to do with the virus-thingy and wanting to limit contact with others.

My trivial annoyance is my neighbour who's always inspecting things that are none of his business, especially my garden. Walking past, and stopping to have a look at one little area (and he isn't just admiring nature or anything like that).

I often notice things put into my bin that I know he has put in, even if it's with good intentions. For example, if he sees a bit of litter that's blown into my garden, he'll pick it up and put it in my bin (fair enough) but it's usually the wrong bin.

And I just know that he looks into my bin just to see what in there. He made a comment to me before, and it was inspired by something he had seen in my bin.

And no, I'm not being paranoid! (But I know that he's harmless.)

Fcuking knew I should have got my hair cut 2-3 weeks ago, before this thing escalated!!

Nope they're all doing that...........just knocking the door or ringing the bell then immediately leaving the parcel at the door or outside. They're no longer handing them to people. To be honest I dont blame them at all, at least they're delivering the parcels and not bringing them back to the depot! They're doing a great job considering how many people have jumped to online shopping in the current situation.

Well done to all couriers at the moment (something I haven't always said :rolleyes:)

Human rights charity, Liberty. Odd TA, I know. They are complaining about the use of spit hoods.

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/coronavirus-garda%C3%AD-to-receive-controversial-spit-hoods-during-crisis-1.4212183

I am all for human rights (obviously) and believe in the individuals right to choose in basically all circumstances, however...

If you have come to the attention of the Gardaí and are spitting/coughing/biting or threatening to do any/all of the above at this time, you not only deserve the hood, you deserve to have your hands tied and be dropped in the nearest large body of water. F*ck right off, Liberty.

On instagram those who insist on posting the last few days about how they miss the gym about 50 times a day.....think theyre saving the world by putting up your "improvisations" of doing gym work at home..no one bloody cares that you miss it.....Loving the gym is not a personality ye bland bores

I'm adhering to the social distancing guidelines - no problems there.
However I just had the thought that my current social life isn't that different to before the social distancing.

whisky_galore · 27-03-2020 9:55am

Referring to someone's infant child as "baby (name)".
It's as daft as calling someone "teenager Mary" or "middle aged man Joe".

I very much feel like I did before I got a job and started being an adult - being on the dole and sitting on my arse doing nothing all day. I actually look forward to putting on clothes to wash just so I have an excuse to go outside and do something.

Believe me, I love my video games, it's the one thing besides the wife that puts a smile on my face on a daily basis, and keeps me sane, but the desperation to just take a break and do something else - jesus, I wish something in the back garden would just break so I had something to fix.

My TA is that working from home has somewhat diminished that Friday feeling.

27-03-2020 1:32pm

A small child being left unattended near a busy road. I was on the home stretch after a walk, a little girl bolted across the road out of nowhere. Traffic screeched to a halt in time, myself and a fellow randomer sprinted over at once. Brought the shook girl to nearest housing estate, a few doors up there was a woman unloading last of shopping. "I thought she was with my husband..." before breaking down. One couldn't remain angry at negligence after they were happily reunited, took a while for heartbeat to level off though.

ohnonotgmail · 27-03-2020 1:41pm

walking back from the shops just now on the footpath. there is a grass verge to the left. There was somebody walking towards me walking on the side of the path closest to the grass. I walked onto the grass thinking they would move further away from the grass verge. Not a bit of it. I had to walk practically on the road to keep 6 feet away from him.

Bredabe · 27-03-2020 1:42pm

The amount of shops that are leaving empty anti bac jell containers or anti back surface spray at their decom site!

cj maxx · 27-03-2020 1:49pm

With all this hand washing, my hands are getting dried out .

This is doing my head in, but it did my head in before all this started.

When I'm out I've a pram and a preschooler, it's alot easier for one person to give us space than for me to get out of the way for one person. Yet on every walk it's us pretty much forced onto the road to give the distance. I try to be aware and pull in where there's big gaps and wait for the person to pass... Not that they put any effort in to walk abit faster..... Also I'm noticing the amount of people who cross the road at an angle to end up just in front of us and then walk past us, is rather puzzling.

I have resorted to saying "I'm moving that way" and gesturing to the right or left when I see someone approaching. You get quizzical looks but generally people adhere to it.

The fact that there's less cars on the road makes some poo poo heads put the foot down, they think they are on their own private racetrack.
The kids are off school, poo poo heads. SLOW DOWN!

I've two both Facebook related.

First one a meme telling us to wash our hands after bringing in the bins... As the binmen touch lots of bins and could be transferring the virus... OK valid point, but would washing your hands after touching the bins not be normal procedure anyway??

Second one which I really hope is a pi$$take was a girl applying makeup over her face mask so it looked like she wasn't wearing a mask, kinda from a distance.
