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

Would being the mayor or New York or London actually be more important than some of the top world leaders roles ?

Here in Ireland mayors are only a representative role

Hate that esp if you have a few drinks in ya

You wake up in a fright and think you slept longer than you actually did

I think she's a very proficient presenter to be honest and one of the best on rte.

Won’t go down well in here, right now, O. However, there is an ‘Unpopular Opinions’ thread over in the “Current Affairs”.

Would make a welcome change from the usual incel, or spiteful, type “stuff” that usually fills its pages.

I should point out that I agree with what you said.

Restaurants/businesses that only have a facebook page rather than a business website. Particularly when I'm on the phone and I can't seem to get a menu up without facebook telling me to log in. No.

Also, businesses that do have a website but there's no phone number, just a 'Contact us' page where you've to fill out a form with your details.

When you click on a You Tube video for a TV programme and it's been recorded using a phone* - you can always tell.

*Rather than being recorded on a VCR, DVD recorder, HDD box etc

I gave up smoking a few months before getting pregnant so been off them now a year and a half I'd say. Never missed them, not even once. Tonight I have a random craving for one. I'd love to light one up now That lovely first drag, the way it lights up at the end when you're in the dark, blowing the smoke out into the cold night air. I really miss them now.

I'm on the other side, a slave to the things. I gave up for a while years ago, and when I started again, was then disciplined enough for about five years to only smoke when having a drink, getting a 20 box only every two or three weeks. But it always catches up with you eventually! The lockdown was my trigger, I've been really bad for the last six months since I now work from home all the time

So don't give in, it'll be a fleeting pleasure, and you're so better off without them!

People in cooking groups. It could be a post of an egg on a bit of bread and someone will pipe up 'recipe please'. Fair enough actual meals that require recipes but some of these don't.

There's a few of them in the cooking forum!

Opposite the local shopping center there's double yellow lines, but to get people to stop parking there 'only for a few minutes', the council put in bollards. Twice in the last week I've seen people parked outside the bollards causing a traffic jam because only one car can get by at a time. What do they have to do for people to get the message that you shouldn't ****ing park there!

It's bad enough that people park in the 'drop off only' spaces - park in the car park and walk you lazy swine!



TBH, the design of the place doesn't help. The parking at the back is a bit of a 'mare. There's a single row and a double row but the spaces are so narrow that even if you're right in the middle of the space, you're very close to the car next to you. The single lane between the two rows is fairly narrow too, so all in all it's not easy to park there. If it wasn't designed with one row less, then there should at least one less space in each row - cars are only getting bigger.

The side car park is better - there's loads of room. The trouble is it's uphill from there to the rear entrance to the shops, so lazy people don't want to use it, and there's no footpath on the ramp. There's also no footpath to the front, so you have to step onto the road to get there, and there's kind of a dark, unappealing corner there. Also ****ers tend to park on the end of the 'drop off only' spaces, then park behind those ****ers until half the entrance is blocked, creating another hazard.

A little bit of planning might have avoided a lot of those problems....

Cancelled my bus card seeing as how I've been home since March with no signs of ever going back into the office. I paid it every month by DD, but to refund me the unused journeys they're sending me a cheque.
a) it's 2020, we shouldn't be using cheques anymore
b) it's 2020 and there's a massive global pandemic. What do they expect me to do with their poxy cheque?

I have a €30 cheque from my car insurers that is staring at me for weeks.

Zurich gave a €40 One4All voucher.

Got a €30 one 4all from boi/rsa..... Renewal in the door now, premium increase on last year of €40.

Seriously they refunded us for lack of use*, now they are recouping the refund with interest.

*we're still in a lockdown, still can't go very far, majority are still wfh.

Ah I think I'm more than trivially annoyed.

I'm surrounded by people who constantly moan about work. I've a friend I'm seriously considering distancing from because he literally never stops talking about work. He lives vicariously through his job, deriving all sense of self and validation from how "needed" he is - when in fact he's just working hard not smart, and essentially allowing the company to shít on his work life balance all the time. Last time we met there'd be a pandemic and I'd had a baby - and he could still only talk about how busy he was. Practically running the place, doing fifty hours overtime and training up new entrants who then pass him out, while he's left on 35k after something like eight years there. I just don't get it. I've tried so many times to help him with his CV, job search etc but I think he just wants to stay there and moan about it.

Now OH has started complaining too. Working late, through lunch hour etc. and our baby and I get the dregs of his emotional and mental energy.

And in the midst of it all, a message from another friend who is sick of work and very busy.

Everyone is convinced that their companies would fold without them when in reality, most of us can be replaced very easily.

Spot on Ant.

Best thing is to tell them to fuhherke off and get another job if they are that pissed off.

But...nothing new about that.....par for the course.

between all the years of education that GPs and Pharmacists get you would think that somewhere along the line they would learn how to count and do basic admin tasks. Gob****es the lot of them.
