Things That Trialvilly Annoy You.

Even your personality will determine how you cope, the more extreme introverts may thrive on the solitude, while extroverts will wither.

It's a long road ahead of us, at least we have phones and the internet. It's not the same but we can still keep in touch with others.

The marvellous Flann O'Brien said, in the epigraph of The Hard Life, "All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone".

That will be tested a lot nowadays...

A friend of mine who always had a tendency to be a bit needy and ask for clarification on blatantly obvious things, is really outdoing herself these days. She is the type to post on Facebook or our group chat asking “anyone know what time Tesco closes at tonight?” in normal times, or “how long does it take cook a chicken?”, instead of googling it herself given that she was on a device with internet access.

Anyway, Leo’s speech wasn’t even over on Friday when she started “omg how far is 2km? In miles, like? Can I go as far as the shop?” , followed by “Will the pharmacy still be open?” and now today it’s “can anyone think of something healthy and filling I can eat?”.

This woman is a reasonably well-educated intelligent woman but sometimes I just despair of her.

I just looked in the mirror and saw a shocking head of brown hair amply mixed with grey/white hair mixed in . TA is I can't go to a barber to get it tidied up

Jebus, who'd do that? (Film it and send it on, that is) Surely the thing to do is pull your own blinds down and MYOB. Unless he was deliberately being an exhibitionist. In which case I'd still pull my blinds down and let him carry on.

I feel like I should explain... ..because it was sorta funny.

Some woman goes to the window to film everybody clapping for the NHS at 8pm, and pans down to yer man one apartment down and two over giving himself a hand shandy on the couch with his laptop in front of him. His living room kinda sticks out, and it looks like he's closed the front blinds but not the side ones. She narrates something like : 'Just going to the window for 8pm for the applause, and there's this guy at it again. ****s sake!' From her tone she can see him hoisting his own petard every time she looks out her window.

Idiots who respond with passive aggressive indignation when they've been called out on their vapid nonsense.

They seem to be multiplying at an alarming rate.

It's just going to get worse for the next few weeks.
Try being me it's going to go curley as well in the next few weeks.
Youd be tempted to dye it or shave it off.

Sausage producers that don't cut the links between sausages.
I don't want to have to cut them, what's the point of leaving them linked?
Just cut them in the factory, ffs.

What about the hipster w*nker ones that are "hand tied". They can take them with their "wilted greens" and "cut fruit" and just f*ck right off :pac: TA food "trends".

Kids bedtime getting a whole lot brighter.

I've did nothing today, and the day has already almost ended. What a waste. Another kebab order, methinks.

I know what you mean. It's like Good Friday (when everything used to shut) on a loop.
Groundhog day.

Normally having a prepay power meter is just a choice I slightly regret making.
Lately its been a massive annoyance.
Mine couldnt be topped up on a laptop for some bizarre reason,(or not for below €50 at a time which is more than I'd want or need or sometimes could afford at once), only by smartphone, which I didn't have til last summer.

Once I had a phone I tried the app but it wouldnt accept my account number or something.

They came out to replace it with a different model but it turned out they refused to remove the old one. I'd have *two* meters stuck on the wall, highly visible. I chose to stick with what I had as it wasnt *that* annoying just topping up at a shop.

Fast forward to self isolation and it became a bit more of a TA!

Actually got the app working this evening though

When do you know you have gone clinically insane? My boyfriend just said to me “in the last hour you’ve cried over missing your nieces, got mad at the fridge because there’s no wine left and now you’re after Irish dancing around the living room to the theme tune of fair city”

you're probably safe if you have the capacity to wonder if you're clinically insane .....cry, dance, get mad, laugh, live missus! :pac::pac::pac:

The doorbell in my apartment is so loud I jump every time it chimes. No way to turn the volume down, way too loud.

Take of the cover and put a sock in it. It will dampin the speakers ability to make noise.
