Things That Trivially Annoy You.

When you have to pick up the slack for co-workers who are too stupid to catch on to things

Speaking of co-workers, the young guys behind me have been blathering on about Game of Thrones almost non-stop this morning. I've never watched it, no intention of watching it, and their obsession just drives me up the walls! Can't they at least talk about The Expanse?

Posters in AH being as classy as ever.

TA at myself that I wandered into the 'What's the etiquette here?' thread and although at times it makes my stomach heave, I can't stop going back because there are some gifted creative writing pieces in it!

God bless johnnyflash - confronting the most pertinent issues in modern society. :pac:

Have a bad feeling about my last two submissions for uni, so to head off any unwanted 'Breda, please resubmit your work' emails, I've
been checking if the tutors have started their marking yet ,on a daily bases.
One is still saying its awaiting marking and the other says marks will be posted shortly(shortly for here could be tom(unlikely) or next year)

Now I wish I didn't know any of that.

people paying with card for coffee in petrol station's fumbling around holding up the whole garage.

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.

Postman, please stop folding my envelopes - thanks

Oh my god, my postman is doing this too and it really annoys me!
Last week he folded a clearly marked official letter that contained the log book for my car. There's nothing behind the letter box making it difficult to open, he just seems to be in the habit of folding over letters to push them through.

Mr Ahmad turns into the biggest pain in the ass client...calling every fcuking day demanding x, y and z.

Matter completes. Do you think he was as on it when it came paying his invoice? Ah hell no....after the 28 day were up sent up we sent him a snotty debt collection letter.

Oh...that got your attention and now you're giving it loads about being a good client for years. No you are not- a few ****ty poxy little matters. Nothing worth talking about.

Well all I will say is: "Fcuk you. Good clients pay their invoices in time. So I would be delighted never to see you again."

You wouldn't mind but in this instance the tenant paid you our costs so you had it already and didn't have to put your hand in your pocket.

Yeah I accept my predecessor was a pussy when it came to billing but there is a new sheriff in town and I'm cleaning out the rubbish clients of this world- you Mr Ahmad are on my list.

Was sat beside a couple with a young baby on a flight I took over the weekend.
The baby was the cutest, most well behaved chap ever and all was going well in peaceful harmony, until mammy decided to change his dirty nappy on the fold down trays.
I was extremely hungover and both the sight and stench had me dry heaving. It was so unhygienic and intrusive.

That is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable.
You should have asked to be moved.
Never in a million years would I even change a wet nappy in that circumstance.
Pigs.

Words fail me.

Where were the flight attendants? Besides the disgust of it all, its a health & safety issue and staff should have been all over the parents. Even if it is too late by the time they realise, they should still be warning the parent(s) that this is unacceptable.

As someone who travels with children regularly there is no excuse for this. When there are queues for the toilet, I've never had an issue with people allowing little ones to skip ahead.

That is such a dickish thing to do. How could somebody be that unaware? I don’t watch GoT but it cannot be ignored that it’s a huge cultural phenomenon and even non-watchers are well aware of that. I’m inclined to think that that person is not unaware and is a huge, massive attention-seeker.

Just seen a comment on Facebook about GOT, some person saying I can't believe such and such dies.
