People on trains who entertain themselves by openly gawking at everyone around them. I was on the train earlier in the week and the man across from me was staring so rudely. Every time I looked for something in my bag (phone, headphones, hand sanitiser, etc.) he leaned over to look. When I was sending a text, he tried to read it. When I was watching videos he was watching them even though he wasn't able to hear anything. Every time I spoke to my OH he was straining to hear. He also kept leaning out so that he was practically falling into the aisle because he wanted to see what the man a few seats up was doing. Nosy c*nt.

Different strokes for different folks...been to quite a few games in France over the years... actively jump, stamp, wave and roar at the kicker...quite a bit of it yesterday in Edinburgh... seems that the " respect the kicker" is being squeezed out of the game

Having to go into work this morning as it's my weekend with the kids

Neames · 10-02-2019 6:10pm

I booked a party in this kid zone type place for my kid.

Invitations sent out with my Mrs' phone number for RSVP.

Everyone told where and when on both invitation and follow up text the day before the party.

The day of the party, there were still texts coming in from a few parents asking where is the party and what time. Bugs me.

Letters from service providers trying to gloss over why they are increasing prices. Would respect them more if they were just honest about it instead of trying to convince you that it’s for your benefit and it’s going to be great.

Apparently my bank is making things less complicated for us poor confused customers and streamlining the types of current accounts they have and the t&cs.
Surprise surprise the one that had me paying no fees is no longer available. But at least I’m not confused over all the types of accounts they have anymore :rolleyes:

Using dropchef for the 2nd week.
Getting the right ingredients but the wrong cooking instructions and typically for something i really need them for.
Was delivered yesterday, no reply to email, twitter and phone not picked up either.
If you are not available on the day you are delivering those boxes, makes sure the instructions can be downloaded.

It was nice while it lasted but they are ****listed now.

The idea of sharing toiletsâ€‹ in places like work. It's just rank really isn't it? You've no idea how clean or dirty these people are and lets face it, at least half of them are probably rank dirty bastards and you've to go and plonk your arse on the very seat one of those dirty bastards had their bare arse perched on. That's not to mention having to clean some simpletons piss off the seat first. Rank

we must work in the same office. Ours are regularly blocked because somebody insists on stuffing toilet paper down them.

There's a small shop at work where they use a touchscreen. One of the workers uses a pen or marker to touch the screen rather than her finger. I don't know why but it really annoys me

Ring of TP on the seat helps a bit, provided there's TP to be found. Which is my next TA.

Blitzkrieger · 11-02-2019 12:57pm

A lot of people won't like this TA : Rugby.

More specifically - smug rugby fans.

Did you ever hear one talk about the history of the game and how it was invented? '....when back in <prehistoric times> Somedick picked up the ball and ran with it.....' First of all - he cheated. The whole game is based on cheating. The clue is in the name - FOOTball.

But they gloss over that when engaged in their second favourite sport - giving out about football. 'Oh football is full of cheats; rolling and diving all the time...' And when you point out there's cheating in rugby too - the whole blood pack thing being a prime example - they usually talk about how harsh the punishment was and move on. That's your defence? It's harder to get away with? Like you don't get players in every game making little infringements and chancing every little cheat they think they can get away with? You never see cynical play in rugby?

On Saturday I had a tiny woman telling me there's 'no real men in football; not compared to rugby', while a man on the screen who had his leg broken in two places during a Europa League match made a tackle. 'Real men'? Like she'd have a clue. Like she'd ever played herself. I haven't played in ages but actually loved playing rugby. If only I wasn't terrible at it.

It just amazes me how partisan people can get about things. 'I like A, so B is a load of ****e. x happens a lot in B, but when it happens in A, we justify it and move on. Everybody should like A and there's something wrong with you if you don't.'

Shared toilets are just awful but we have to use them, unfortunately. My worst experience was recent enough. I was sat there waiting for nature to take its course, when my man-part brushed against the inside rim of the toilet seat. Oh Jesus, even thinking of it now gives me the gawks

Misread the title as "Trying things that do anal", assumed it was a drunken attempt at one of those "I just got rejected, console me in my darkest hour" threads from Saturday night

I thought you were on about shark week there for minute. Had to re-read a couple of times

Ragnar Lothbrok · 11-02-2019 2:07pm

Had a fantastic couple of nights away in Galway (despite Storm Erik!). Lovely hotel at a great deal, upgraded to a "superior" room for only an extra tenner, and in fairness it was very good. Everything about the place was brilliant. Had a good night out on the town on Thursday evening, and found some really great pubs. So no complaints or TAs so far.

Friday morning comes and we head down to the restaurant for breakfast. Really impressive spread with everything you could hope for. Then we started to eat. Fried and scrambled eggs, fried potatoes and mushrooms (we're both vegetarians so didn't have sausages, rashers, etc). The food was absolutely freezing. We assumed the hot plates or whatever they are called were broken, and didn't want to make a fuss so we ate our cold breakfast grimly.

Another great day and night on the town followed and we forgot our breakfast woes. Until Saturday morning, when the same thing happened again. It was even colder this time, so cold in fact, that we couldn't force the food down.

Again, we didn't complain, we just b!tched about it to ourselves.

So, despite all the great facilities the hotel had to offer, our memories of the place are tainted by the thought of our awful, cold breakfasts.

The breakfast itself was a TA, but our refusal to complain is my biggest TA now

I will never understand the complete and utter unwillingness to complain of many Irish people.

Ragnar Lothbrok · 11-02-2019 2:12pm

There's a big sign in our works toilets which reads: "Please do not dispose of your chewing gum in the urinal. Please use the bins."

This is a fairly large sign, with block red lettering, placed directly above the urinals.

And yet what did I just see in the urinal?

I hate chewing gum in general. I also hate colleagues who do not follow simple requests.

Ragnar Lothbrok · 11-02-2019 2:14pm

Somehow I've managed to get lots of little cuts and cracks on my fingers despite not doing any manual work. And the cold and wind really makes them smart.

There is a person ahead of you in the queue for the ATM, fair ‘nuff

It becomes free, the person ahead walks up and then and only then searches their bottomless handbag for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages for their card

Good god, you have plently of time to be ready. Should have had the card in your hand good to go.

The same gobshoytes (usually women - sorry ladies) who spend 10-15minutes in the East Link queue at rush hour going at snail's pace, put the handbrake on everytime they stop, AND ONLY WHEN THEY GET TO THE CASHIER OR THE BARRIER do they even begin to look for coins. You couldn't have possibly done it over the last 10-15minutes could you? Thank fock I have an Eazy Pass but you still see them.
