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

Work colleague who seems to believe that because of the church I attend I have some insight to the mindset of the rioters in NI.

My dad's habit of pausing the TV for hours when he wants to come back and watch something later instead of just recording it. I'm not sure he realises how passive aggressive it comes off, but it essentially means nobody else can watch anything while he goes off and does his various bits and bobs. He just came in and paused the One O'Clock News, but has gone off to get the paper, will sit on the loo with that for an hour, then come down and have his breakfast, which takes at least another hour. Then he'll probably remember two or three little jobs he's been meaning to do, etc. etc. It could genuinely be another 3-4 hours before he comes back in to watch it, and all the while the TV is off-limits to everyone else.

I don't even watch much TV but this drives me absolutely DEMENTED. It's just so mind-blowingly selfish.

It may be time for me to move back to my own house.

When you post something that someone doesn't agree with or like and they offer an unsolicited apology for not liking it. I posted a funny video on Facebook of this couple who have about 50cats, and the madness that is the evening feed and said jokingly that it was like me in the evening. Then someone commented "sorry I love dogs but I just couldn't cope with cats, sorry". Eh I wasn't ****in asking you to cope with cats love, otherwise I'd have tagged you and said it was you in the evening. I find non cat people are a little like vegans and gaeilgeoirs - they never miss an opportunity to tell you about it.

And why do people who don't like cats always have to tell you that they like dogs?
When no one asked about dogs.

Do you like broccoli?
No, I'm more of a sausage person!

Wha?

The amount of low-brow programmes on telly at a weekend is astonishing. Something I have really noticed now that I am currently waiting on my wifi to be installed so have to make-do with just RTE,VM etc. It can't come soon enough.

Which brings me to another TA: people that want to be in the audience for said low-brow shows. Like Celebrirty Catchphrase (EVERY celebrity-based programme actually), Ant and Dec's yoke or the god awful Royal Variety show. Why like? They are awful entertainment, yet they do be cackling like hens during it. Even sadder are the "virtual audiences" for the Voice UK- on their tablets bopping away to glorified karaoke.

The irony is, a lot of those sort of people probably detest sport and complain that there is too much of that on tv. And are more than likely not affected in any way by the lockdown.

I got my dinner made for me,and it wasnt nice.
Now im annoyed cause i cant eat anything else cause im counting calories.
And i have a face on me:mad:

TA that my bank account takes about 2 or 3 days to update my balance after I make purchases. I bought a number of things on Friday and I have no idea how much I actually have in my bank because of the list of 10-12 transactions in the "pending" section. What bugs me about it is some of them are already successful transactions and the fact it says "pending" doesn't matter, BUT there are others that are still actually pending.

So I'm too scared to buy any more stuff between today and Wednesday because I don't know if I'll overspend, because my balance isn't final.

I hate that it does this. So I could sit there with, say, 230 euro in my bank account, with all this pending shíte, and on Tuesday it could either drop to 195, or 104 - you just don't know.

I'm taking you mean BOI?
There's been a lot posted on boards about it before.
I'm with Aib and my balance available always includes the pending transactions, I'm never in doubt.

Facebook dating , or more to the point the notifications that someone liked you. Strangely they are always Chinese.
The last one was based in the Netherlands and is now in Bray .

The big gorilla like spider that's on the wall in my bedroom up high above the door. Oh yeah, you're frozen like a statue now since I walked in and turned on the light but you can be damn sure once I turn off the bedside light you'll be all over the shop. Ugh

Are you seriously going to share your room with a spider??

It's the spider's room now. The only question is whether the spider will let TIAL use it from time to time.

:eek: I would have to burn the house down. Not a chance I would get a wink of sleep with a spider (regardless of size) in the same household as myself.

Maybe we'll become friends...

Probably a friendly chap. A web designer by trade I'm sure.

There were two deaths in the past day from my nephew's circle. One was only 29. I was there then complaining about the neighbour making noise.
In all fairness I didn't know. It's been the worst Easter I've ever had.
Sorry to bring down the thread.
His best friend's mother was only 54, same age as my sister. I feel really bad for them.

I took the defrosted chicken out of the fridge to bring to room temp while the oven heats,
sib walks into the room spraying air freshener(for no reason).

I suspect that chicken when cooked will have a yummy, fresh linen flavour.

I suspect she sprayed 'cos the room smelt like dead chicken :pac:

Got 2 voicemails, 4 emails and 7 teams messages from work people today about an issue I can't help with, and I'm not even on call. We're using 3rd party contractors for our escalation process

Ah but outsourcing saves money. Just think of the finance guy having his blissful weekend 'cos he met budgetary targets for the quarter. Please tell us you've told your manager that you'll be fwding calls, texts & emails next time your're off call!

Just... change the channel and claim ignorance (every time)?
