Not trivial I admit but I want to rant and don't know where else to do it currently. I was off work this week for my first week off all year, I badly needed a rest and to relax but it ended up being very stressful and frustrating.

My mother is dying, she has 2 years left maximum. It was caused mainly by being a heavy smoker for over 50 years plus some other stuff too. She was in the hospital today barely able to breathe yet kept going out for smokes, when I was bringing her home I walked her to the exit of the hospital and told her to wait there while I brought the car around and when I returned she was lighting a cigarette off a just finished cigarette. She got sick 3 times in my car on the way home and can barely walk from the kitchen to the sitting room without being out of breath and having a coughing fit that last minutes sometimes. It drives us all mad that she still smokes but she just won't stop or even cut down a bit.

This week my Aunt just got diagnosed with terminal cancer that has spread all over her body, how long she has we don't know but it's spread too far to be stopped now. Again a heavy smoker most of her life.

Then there have been further complications with the apartment I recently bought and it looks like I will be couch surfing in friends homes while putting most of my belongings in storage soon as I have to leave my apartment at the end of this month and I still can't move into my apartment.

This week has been a load of bollox.

That is beyond rough, sorry to hear that.

There should be a special place in hell for plagiarisers. They’re a bunch of lazy thieving b@stards.

I needed air in my tyres today, car pulling to the left on my way from Dublin to Newry , pulled in to 2 service stations , both needed coins to operate the air dispenser. Later pulled in to Sainsburys in Newry to do some shopping. Trolleys needed ..... you guessed it...... COINS !

In these days of contactless the chances of us having loose change hanging around is getting slimmer. V annoying.

Retailers and service stations please take note !!,

I'm sorry that you're going through this. I remember having the very same experience with my mother when she was dying (also from a smoking-related illness). It was beyond infuriating.

Thanks for the kind words folks and thank you to the people who sent me nice PM's (that nearly reads like they sent me PMS but they didn't, that would be a horrible thing to do!). I probably dragged the thread off topic since people probably didn't want to post trivial annoyances after my post but they should so I'll try to drag it back now.

TA at those who didn't send me PM's, you're all dead to me now..... :P:D

Ok my real TA is hearing my upstairs neighbours shagging, no matter what room in the apartment I go to the sound of a creaking bed and other associated noises follow me like a ghost. Fair play to them and all but could they maybe be a bit less enthusiastic for those of us not shagging anybody, the cheeky gits!

Came across a seller that was charging more for a item than what they paid for themselves originally (I found this via another adverts ad where they copied the photos and receipt from the original seller they bought from). Now unless they made some significant repairs, mods, etc. to it than that's one thing but I doubt it. I had made a perfect comeback reply to the insults they hurled at me only to find out that they had blocked me so I couldn't post it, ah well.

Being half blinded by the headlights of oncoming traffic.

People who push their own agenda that jeopardizes the work of a valuable organisation e.g. a charity, or someone's reputation, for their own selfish reasons.

Food waste - especially when people pay €€s for a meal only to eat a quarter of it. Now if you feeling ill or you had an emergency that's one thing, but it's a regular occurrence in food places. Such a pity the lack of value of food being instilled in people.

Some very trivial annoyances really when you see other people's bigger problems like Guy Person's comment.

Don't get the bolded bit? Surely that's the basis of capitalism, buying lower than you sell it for, to make a profit?

Went to buy a cough bottle yesterday, the hot dry air in the chemist's made my wheese worse, as Im wheezing I ask for a wet cough bottle.
Lady behind the counter asks what kind of cough I was trying to cure!

From experience I know to hit the wheeze and crackles hard, so Im taking the 15ml'sx3 recommended, the measuring spoon is in 2.7ml's.:(:(:(

Someone in River Island wrote this blurb to sell a pair of jeans:

Blair Straight High Rise Jean

Looking to move on from skinny jeans? These jeans are perfect to wear with a bodysuit and heels for late-night cocktails, or swap to trainers and a t-shirt for a morning brunch with the girls.

<vomit> They're living in some kind of Pippa O'Connor dreamworld.

I, as a real human being, would be more inclined to buy jeans if they had honest descriptions, like: "High waisted so your spare tyre won't flop over the waistband. Not so skinny as to cut off all circulation from your lower limbs".

that's when you think there's only 2 options to a question "Yes or No".
someone else thinks outside the box.....and doesn't reply, the third option.

My view on it is that if you are selling something on as second-hand or third, you charge less than what you would have paid for originally (wear and tear, etc.) - unless you had it for a short amount of time and getting little/no use out of it to not warrant a significant drop in price. Otherwise people wouldn't be going to charity shops etc.

It wasn't so much the cost that bothered me, but the disingenuous description in the ad saying he got it as a gift, that it originally cost €600 and that he was being generous selling it at €265. With a photo of a receipt. The photos used were the exact same ones from the person who sold it to him for €200, same receipt in the 2nd ad.

That isn't so much being capitalism, but just being downright shady.

Missed point completely but hey whatever. If you don't like the price don't buy it, simples. What it cost the seller is completely irrelevant. I used to buy boxes of DVDs and sell them at car boot sales. I wouldn't have done it for zero financial reward (not much financial reward as it turned out).

I'm not saying everyone who resells is shady.I was merely hinting that there are some who take complete advantage of the consumer. I know resellers need to make a profit on their investments but some do take it too far.I genuinely meant no disrespect to honest entrepreneurs.

Reselling dvds isn't what I would consider an antique dealer.

Grown adults that still don't realise that a cold (even a bad one) is not the flu.

It's not just people referring to their cold as the flu, it's that many of these people actually don't understand that they are very different things.

Down a short friggin pier hopefully

Pawwed Rig, I agree. A woman I know is always on Facebook, oh, look at me, I've done another 5k, 10k, or whatever. Oh I need sponsorship for my next race. Meanwhile I'm beside the fire stuffing my face with chocolate, and happy.

Sitting in a room full of plastic backed seats, jackass in front of me keeps leaning backwards in his chair and restricting my ability to take notes.
I asked him politely and discreetly if he would stop doing that as it means I cant use my keyboard. He looked at me like I asked him to give me the contents of his bank account and his first born.

Cant change seat as they are all allocated for operational reasons.

Lazy clichés like "worked tirelessly" and describing something as "unrivalled" or a location as "much sought after". Estate agents that are "proud" to bring a seen one seen them all home to the market. I'd love an honest one that said "this home is thoroughly average but we are being paid a fee to promote it".

TA with Booking.com. My mate booked a room in London for three of us on Saturday through Booking.com a few month ago. We arrive in London on Friday night for rehearsal at another friends house, my mate receives a text from Booking.com that the room booked has been repossessed by the bailiffs and no replacement room. So wandering the London streets for 4 to 5 hours after playing a wedding gig at the Trinity Bouy Wharf area and travelling through Canning Town and Stratford, fairly seedy London area till we got our Stansted connection for the flight back to Dublin.

Wedding madness.

One of my husband’s friends is getting married in the US next summer. He’s not being extravagant there, his bride-to-be is American.

The groomsmen have just announced that the stag will be in a European city. I have no idea if the groom is on board with that but between the two, it’s such a huge chunk of money and holidays. I’d be mortified if I was him! I already know I’m not attending the wedding and hubs thinks the stag is the only thing he’ll do. One of the groomsmen is wealthy and a bit oblivious and all the groomsmen are like “Sure, the two trips can be your holidays next year!”. There’s a lot of behind the scenes grumbling. Between the two, you’re talking thousands and thousands of euro. I don’t think you’d even have to cash-strapped to do a sharp intake of breath at the thought of it.

I long for the pared-back weddings of old. It’s all so OTT.
