Things Cat Trialvilly Annoy You (part whatever) *MOD WARNING IN OP*

TA people expecting you to read emails they sent you instead of them doing stuff for you.

And said person also had time to forward me "funny" covid memes in the interim.

Ah, but those require no reading beyond a line or two, there's the difference

Neither did my email. There is no difference.

I also have to screen calls from this person to avoid her ten minute Netflix recommendations monologues. Yawn.

Edit reminds me of another TA, this new thing about only being able to forward to one person at a time, or receiving one that has the disclaimer "forwarded to many" - you mean I'm not the only chosen one?

Youtube ads. Apart from being too many alot of them are cheap crappy productions selling products and ideas that come across as seriously dodgy

What are you watching YouTube on?
If on a phone use Vance.
If on smart TV use Smart YouTube app.
If laptop, I don't know.
No more YouTube ads for me but yeah they were a pain.

I just saw Charlene McKenna doing an interview and her voice would go through you.

No more Netflix on the Apple TV:mad:
Yes, I can cast from my phone but there's something nice about pointing a remote at the screen.

Edit: not Netflix - that's still there.
Youtube is gone.

Dog walkers putting on rubber gloves, producing a dog-poo bag, and dutifully cleaning up after their dog but, instead of putting the full bag in a bin or taking it home with them, they throw it away or leave it on the ground close to where they cleaned up!

Yep, sh!tbombs. Worst thing is the moisture and heat trapped inside harbours bacteria, ready to burst out when walked on.

People who don't 'get' a problem, no matter how many times or how simply you break it down.

Example: I ask a staff member about there never being any of that bakery product the last 8 or 9 times I've been in, no matter what time of the day, even though there's still a label and a space.

Person lists alternatives, I say the one I'm looking for isn't there. "Oh we don't do that anymore."

That'd be fair enough, if he understood the problem was that the label and space shouldn't be there.

Previously, I'd asked another person about the same and was told they could have some out in 20 minutes.

Both were managers :facepalm:

-_-_-_-

Shop managers who stand watching staff rather than using their own hands to help out.

-_-_-_-

Shop managers who bark orders at staff. One manager I witnessed shouting - halfway across the menswear dept in Next, Blanchardstown - which sequence of buttons to press, at the poor girl on till. I regret not going over to tell him to get off his figurative pedestal.

-_-_-_-

Shop managers who look or walk away when a customer approaches them, as if they're above dealing with the public (Lidl Blanchardstown).

Managers who interrupt staff while they are serving you!
Really? What you have to say takes priority over them actually serving customers?

People wishing their children happy birthday on Facebook.

I saw one this morning saying “Happy 5th Birthday” with a load of soppy rubbish after it.

Talk about attention seeking.

In the Phoenix Park the other day,and they have someone going around picking up the dog poo.

Even took it out of a tree stump.

Pulled this nail out of my tyre today.
Luckily I have a kit for plugging punctures at home.

The blessed “ stay at home “ in the corner in RTE .
I mean seriously , a year later do they think someone reads it on March 4th 21 and says “ Oops , we need to stay at home , I almost forgot but RTE reminded me “
