Things That Trivially Annoy You.

The shaving brush I used this morning smelled like a damp dog, (or should that be badger) and I imagine I can still get it.

It's nothing to do with her having a bath really...it's code

I was looking for a quiet morning when leaving the house. Fed the cats before they went apesh*t me-owing, fed the dog before she started fighting with the cats, put her out in the garden for a slash. Let the cats out the other side of the house.
All calm, all good.

I let the dog back in, she flew past me, up the stairs and woke everyone else up.
Goodbye peaceful morning of coffee and Cheerio's.

Was watching Thronecast last night where a panel of guests discuss Game of Thrones.

Dara OBrian was on....my God he was talking at about 20 words a second and made no sense whatsoever.

When we have bright days and we are both out all day, we turn the heat off.
The switch comes in two parts, a set of light switches and a terminal with a black switch that says something like, constant, off, intermittent.

Flat mate turns the light switches off and I use the black switch, he knows that the light switch set up confuses me with my combined memory and dyspraxic issues, yet he gives out to me for turning the heat off using the black switch and cops an attitude when I try to turn it back on using the light switch set up.

I cant change and he won't, somehow this is all my fault. tatatatatat

Bredabe · 16-04-2019 11:50am

I woke up with a horrible sinus headache, which may or mayn't turn into the not being able to turn my head type.

Ppl are annoying me by existing or by needed every dam thing explained to them step by step and constantly.:mad::mad:

Broken skin on the ball of my foot. Walking is sore.

Forgetting to bring a euro for the supermarket trolley. I've probably posted about this before but it doesn't get any less (trivially) annoying...

Pro tip - The round end of a key works in many trolleys if you don't have a coin.

Put a corn ring pad over it . It cushions the wound

Blister plasters or hydrocolloid dressings would work wonders, too.

Thanks doc. Will get some tomorrow if I haven't hacked off my own foot before then.

You're gonna need bigger bandages if you do that. :pac:

A funny little man told me I should not wear black tights with a red backseam to meet with a solicitor today . Beneath a skirt past my knees. ''Dress like a grey mouse'' he said .

As it happened , the solicitor's skirt was shorter than my underwear .

Reminds me of being in hospital a few years ago . I was under the care of Dr So and So . I had this vision of an older man in a pinstripe suit
Dr So and So turned out to be a young female dressed in biker leathers and with scarlet lipstick and a spikey haircut !

The "bye, bye, bye, bobeye, bobeye, bye, bye, bobeye" thing that some people do on the phone.
Why is it only done on the phone? Imagine someone doing it in person. Imagine someone saying hello 8 or 10 times when they answer the phone.

An assh*le I went to school with just posted a full synopsis of the new episode of Game of Thrones on fb, complete with spoilers.
Some of us have jobs to get up for in the morning and couldn't stay awake till 2am to watch last night.

People who do stuff like that are **** of the highest order. I'm actually raging.

While I agree with you about the assh*le, you have to share some of the blame yourself. Social media was the last place you should have been until you had watched the episode. Even my GF managed to stay off her phone all day, and that's surgically attached to her hand

Putting the dishwasher on,turn my back for 10 seconds.And the sink is full of plates.Wtf

17-04-2019 10:38am

People not being ready when they've had plenty of time to get their sh1t together:

-reaching the top of the supermarket queue and only then getting their shopping bags ready
-packing it all up, with as much intricate messing about as possible, before finally looking for their purse or wallet
-standing at the bus stop for 15 mins and only going looking for their leap card when the doors open
-getting off the DART and having to stop on the way out to search for their leap card to tag off
-reaching the top of the queue in a fast food place and only looking at the menu at that stage "I'll have the ehhhhhhhhhhh............"
-Mrs. Shifty standing at the lift in the apartment block while I set the alarm, turn out the lights, lock the door, grab the bin bags and then having to wait for the lift because she didn't press the button

WTF have you people been doing for the past few minutes?

I've a similar issue with people not being able to multitask. Waiters not bringing the CC machine with the bill. Barmen not being able to remember more than one order. People who stop suddenly on the street/in a shopping entre to take out their phone. Golfers standing on the green to fill in their score instead of walking to the next tee box and doing it there.

People who continue a call whilst being served at the checkout. Put your phone down and give the server some basic manners you ignorant ass.

By the same token servers who ignore you and continue a conversation with their colleague (usually about some other colleague ). For some reason in my world dunnes employees are the worst for this .

I find it mad annoying when you're literally half way out the door then someone starts to call you or ask a question as you are leaving the house!

My ma does it every single time I'm leaving her house! I've now started to close the door in her face since it's the only way around it, my wife does be horrified.

SusieBlue · 17-04-2019 5:02pm

Have lost all motivation for the gym, have barely made it once a week for the last 6 weeks or so.
I just have no interest and can't seem to focus or follow through.
I've put in so much hard work over the last year and I'm going to undo it all if I keep going like this.
I swore I'd go this evening after work but now that its nearly time, I just can't face it.

Wish I still had the dedication I had on the cold December mornings, going at 6am before work while sick with a chest infection. I have no excuse this time. I'm so annoyed at myself.

freshpopcorn · 17-04-2019 6:43pm

I do online surveys and every so often you encounter ones that have an agenda.
Recently I did one and if you said you played the lotto a few times a year you basically had a gambling problem and another was about alcohol and how you had to have a problem with it. Just to get headlines with the results of these surveys.

I do surveys. And I must be the most boring person on their books. Invariable, a question will come up like: "do you play Lotto", or "do you buy any of these cheap-ass crappy processed food types", and when I say No, I'm told I'm not suitable for the survey, and it kicks me out. It actually encourages lying and saying I do, just so I can participate and earn a few quid. They should nearly give 10% of the fee anyway even if you're not suitable, just for telling the truth.

That Brennans ad with the woman in labour and I'll tell you why: the toast she has after popping the baby has a really mild colour. But when she bites into it it sounds like a crisp. BREAD THAT WHITE DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THIS FOR GOD'S SAKE.

Infonovice · 17-04-2019 9:23pm

being hungry but not knowing what I want to eat, and not wanting to actually get up and make anything either:rolleyes:

Well this week can just go and fcuking do one.

My dad sorted out my puncture and collected me from work. His own car was being serviced today so he was in a loaner. Got back to my folks house and went to drive my car home and the keys were nowhere to be found - turned out he'd left them in the loaner.

Eventually got the spare, got home and trudged up the stairs to change. To find that my dog had puked on my bed during the day. Twice.

And it's still only Wednesday. How the actual fcuk is that possible???

Rosie Rant · 17-04-2019 9:57pm

People who speedwalk around corners nearly sending me flying.

People who don't do a second flush when their waste deposit doesn't flush down the first time.

The treadmill I was on in the gym was not lined up straight and it was annoying me trivially.

Selfie addicts and pedestrians with screen blindness.

People giving out about pubs being allowed to open on Good Friday.
A reason I often hear is it's unfair on the staff because they only have two days off in the years and they government got rid of one of them. I know lots of people who work in pubs and they have a lot of days off. If you live in a small town your local pub may only open a few days a week.

Widdershins · 18-04-2019 8:48am

The crows in the trees behind the house kept flapping and cawing their heads off at 2 am. They were frantic and outraged .Starting to think my ex girlfriends stalking fantasy wasn't just an idle thought .

I bought a bottle of TCP on request recently and it stinks even with the lid tightly closed. I don't know where to put it for fear of stinking a press out. The bin looks tempting.

So true and so annoying. When they ask at the start "Do you smoke/drink etc. and you truthfully answer no, they cut you out of the survey and you get no points.
I copped on to this a good while back and I always answer yes to the initial questions, if it means I'll be able to take part in the survey and get the points.;)
