    When they close a thread rather than just remove individuals

    I find that so annoying . We are having a good discussion , some eejit pops along and posts rubbish and they close the thread instead of removing the posts

    When people who can't see something refuse to put on there glasses!

    When you wake up and can't see where your glasses might even be.

    It's all a blur.

    I agree. If I misplace my glasses I'm done for as I haven't a hope in hell of seeing them myself.
    I have mistaken tomato stalks for spiders. I told the child there was a hedgehog on the road and when we went out it was a dead rhododendron head and I have tried to pick up a patch of sunlight off the floor, all when I wasn't wearing the specklies.

    Well feck you! I didn't even have to press play, just saw the thumb nail and the chorus of 'la la lalala la la la laah' in that infuriating nazal squeek immediately started up in my head.
    TA the TA thread.

    When you leave the house later, 'forget' to turn the radio off. Wouldn't it be awful if it was at full volume too?

    A pair of canvassers entered your home arbitrarily, uninvited and without permission? Sure Jan.

    They actually did, Doubting Thomas.
    Front door was unlocked, so they carried on in, shouting and knocking on doors inside.
    The thing I hate about the country is that every hoor thinks he can just show up uninvited.

    People sucking and licking their fingers in cafes over their sticky cakes.... I get up and sit somewhere else when I see this sort of thing within my line of sight or hearing. It really irritates me, especially when it's men that do it. All you can hear is their saliva slurping around their germ ridden fingers. You can hear it from one end of the cafe to the other if the conditions are right. F you and use a fork..

    Those bloody paper jam rags at the bottom of a packet of beef mince. I was frying a block of mince on a high temperature in order to get it nice and brown only for me to flip it over to the other side and discover that I never took the bloody paper off!!

    Missed the Dublin Kerry match last night, was going to watch it back today, but the first thing I saw in the morning was a notification on my phone giving away the result.

    F*cksake.

    Leaving reviews on Just Eat and the only ones that ever show up are the 100% reviews. Anything with a negative point in it never gets past the moderation stage. I left one that said great food as usual but it was cold on arrival, never seen again. Disgraceful sh*te.

    Don't believe Just Eat reviews!

    In the UK for the weekend, we went for dinner last night to some Italian place and I ordered a carbonara.

    The carbonara arrived to the table with two cooked rashers plonked on top of the spaghetti, and not mixed in at all. Wtf.
    Absolute blasphemy!!!!

    People who eat in public and are disgusted at the sight of others eating.

    Ridiculous plot twists

    A main character dies, we all saw him die and two episodes and over a year later in the story timeline he magically wanders in just as friends and family were discussing him

    Getuptheyard!

    Dallas was before my time but I remember something similar happened there and someone came back to life.

    My enjoyment of this new Netflix series just took a dive

    TA freaked out all day after a really troubling dream. Also because I was scrolling through Rip. ie looking for someone's arrangements and I saw the death notice of the teacher I had for 5th and 6th class. Something made me think of her a week or so ago and I'd wondered if she was still alive..
    TA at 8yr olds who always know best. Said 8yr old is annoyed with me because I won't let her wee in a jar and use it for invisible ink. WTF?. Give me strength!

    This is not directed at anyone it's a genuine TA. People who post passive aggressive responses to other people's TAs.This is the TA thread, a sacred place for fellow cranks who want to air a trivial grievance. Its just even more annoying when people respond that they are trivially annoyed by your trivial annoyance. It's the TA thread! TA that some people completely miss this point!

    Also TA drivers who drive up too close behind me. You're not gonna make me drive faster with your intimidation and if I need to brake suddenly you will cause an accident.

    As its a special time in my family, I bought myself a ticket for a comedy gig,
    one of my sis's told one of the bro's and he asked me to get him a ticket as well,
    there is no hope of him leaving me alone to enjoy the show.

    He's taken all the good out of it, complaining about how he has to rush his tea, midder over where he parks his car and how long the walk between the car park and the venue(10 mins max).

    TA that I expected it to be different.
