Things dat Trivyully Annoy You (part whatever) *MOD WARNING IN OP* NEW

Porky breaking all the shopping restrictions to treat herself with new clothes while the rest of us have tattered rags barely covering our bosoms.

Call the cops!!!

The dog went missing in the woods earlier.

She went darting after birds into the overgrowth ahead of us, but panic started to set in when she wasn't responding to our calls. I went searching in the general direction she went to no avail.

I'm sure she was only gone five minutes but it definitely felt longer when she finally came running back breathless. I assume she got confused in her surroundings, but at least she got frightened enough not to do it again.

The one on Grafton street is half open:)
The denim section is open, sports wear and the nightwear.

May I recommend the fleece pjamas for 28 euro?

My husband needed trousers last week. All the trousers in Dunnes were cordoned off
I ask a manager if I could access the trousers
“ are they essential Madam “
Yes I said they sure are at this stage !
“ in you go so Madam ! “


I could have bought pyjamas but not trousers !!!!

Linked in becoming even more like Facebook. Sadly I have to use it for work, and I'm used to the webinar invites, professional certs, industry ads etc, that's what it's for I guess. but seems every single post now features a picture of a puppy/immigrant child /field of flowers telling me in some weird way that I really am great/special/loved. No harm in that of course, but not on a bloody loop constantly.

Some random dudes happy floaty reposts kept appearing at the top of my page, even though I wasnt connected to him. I had to block him to stop them appearing. Then linked in give me a simple five million question survey to fill out to explain myself. FOOOOOOK OFFFFFFF.

It makes no sense! You can buy pjamas and a sports bra but you can't buy a dress or pair of shoes. Personally, I'd consider shoes a helluva lot more essential than lycra!
The sections are right beside each other too. Shoes randomly cordoned off but you can maul your way through dressing gowns and slippers!

I once went to buy cushion covers, but this was not allowed as they are non essential. However, I could buy a cushion with a cushion cover on it, so that's what I did. I may sell the cover less cushions on adverts.

TA that cushions are surprisingly expensive.

Mobile apps that get progressively worse with every update, whether it be the interface, connection problems or just something that was previously perfect being found by the developers and them going "hey, we haven't touched that in a while, let's fack it up!" :rolleyes:

Neighbour out with a chainsaw at 8:30 on a Saturday morning :mad:

Ah I love the sound of D-I-Y on a Saturday morning. :rolleyes:

Might take advantage of the weather and just fúck off out for the entire day with no intent on where. I just want to get away from this piece of shít next door. I'm starting to think he's just doing it as a hobby now at this stage.

Do yourself a favour: if you're going to move anywhere, don't live in a house next to someone that has any sort of trade in carpentry. Just avoid it. You'll thank yourself and keep your sanity in check.

I love everything about where I live except this one díckhead.

Why is it when ppl are advertising stuff for sale, mainly on marketplace, they put up a web picture of the item instead of what they actually have, generally it is hiding the crappy condition. Why not just show us the state of it so I dont have to waste my time with back & forward messages. TA

Every Saturday morning I'm in the garage at half 7 radio on,compressor on, car on the lift and tools making noise. I love it. Neighbour has lawnmowers,tractors, diggers etc making noise at half 6 every morning

Thinking I’m the next Mrs Hinch, I washed the gas hob burner caps in the dishwasher and now they are all tarnished.
Googled looking for hacks for removing said tarnishing and the only thing that comes up is articles saying DON'T wash the gas burner caps in the dishwasher. 🙄

I'll be honest that went straight over my head

My sister giving out to me about being inside. I told her I had to work. I don't have a garden and there is nowhere at all to sit out around here. She lives in a big house with a huge garden in a town. Usually I might head to the park but it's awkward as you have to drive there and if you need to use the loo or anything it's annoying. She has no clue about city living, she lived in a small town all her life.
God forbid her ladyship would slum it sitting on a street with cars passing and people looking at you.

People who think it's acceptable to leave their rubbish beside an overflowing bin, as if placing it on the ground is any better than throwing it there.

Heaven forbid they make the return journey with the containers they brought with them.

My TA, I drove 4 km from my house today and saw 3 bags of rubbish left at 3 separate locations on the side of the road. I've seen mattresses before on the same route.

I hope they all die roaring, absolute scumbag behaviour. :mad:

Went back to work today after two weeks off with an injury.
However, my TA is I got brand new work boots that squeak.
I felt like Bobo the clown going around all day.

Got a bag of oranges that are hellish to peel. Juice everywhere.

I don't know why this annoys me because it doesn't affect me at all but I suppose it's the spirit of the thread. For as long as I've known my mother she's made a big hoo hah about dieting and weight loss, but doing it the cráppy way like instead of practicing moderation and eating well for the sake of health, she will just deprive herself and count calories and (my pet hate) "syns".

You know the kind that eats tonnes of aspartame filled diet yoghurts and rubbish "diet bars" but won't touch an avocado because it's "very fattening". But despite all the years talking about syns and points, she's still basically the same weight. It just goes up two pounds, down three, up four etc. And in three decay, I've yet to see her sacrifice the tea and toast at near midnight, just before bed. Every. Single. Night.

As my dad says, her weight is "seasonally adjusted".

I have several of these in my life. One genuinely gets through a pound of butter a week by herself but is convinced she'll drop three stone by subbing Candarel for sugar in her two coffees a day (both of which are accompanied by a muffin or pastry) for a few weeks every so often.

My sister buys low fat cheese that tastes of precisely nothing and melts like plastic and steadfastly refuses to believe that it makes more sense to just use a smaller amount of a really strong cheese to get that lovely cheesy hit she craves in a dish. 50g of parmesan will blow 150g of artificial crap out of the water any day but she literally can't unlearn the low-fat doctrine she got from years of Weight Watchers.

DLC.

I'm thinking of acquiring a game illegally because I'm sick of paying for DLC.

This particular game is the sixth in the series. I've bought every one of the series so far. It began as massive value for money - I bought the game and spent loads of hours playing it. The second installment was even better. We were initially promised multiplayer, but even though it was launched without, it was brilliant. I paid full price for the game on launch and the multiplayer was later included in a massive patch for the game.

With installment three things started to go wrong. With installment three they started selling expansion packs. I bought the game for full price at launch, but didn't bother with any of the expansion packs. I don't think I really missed out on much, but bug fixes for the 'vanilla' version got slower and slower.

With the fourth game it went even more wrong. I held off on buying the game for a while and let it come down in price, paying about two thirds of the full launch price. I should probably also mention the full launch price goes up with every installment. The fourth game was kinda flawed, and really it wasn't until the third expansion pack was released that it was 'fixed'. I bought a 'complete' version for half price when the fifth installment was close to being launched.

The story with the fifth game was similar, and as things stand with the sixth game there are 19 different DLCs and expansion packs. At the moment a full version of the game is $120. I get that the developers have to make money, and we're always told that development costs go up and up, but I really can't see this as anything but naked greed. Having been stuck inside for a year due to this pandemic and being sick of my current games and bored to tears with boxsets I'd be tempted to pay the $120, but I know that there's going to be further DLC released. If I'm paying that much money I want the full game ffs. I'm very tempted to download the full game and pay them $0 instead.

'Comedian' Johhny Vegas.

How in the hell is that guy a millionaire and even more baffling, how the fu*k is he considered a comedian?!

I'm looking for a show to binge watch and thought I'd give Benidrom a shot as it's on Netflix. Dear God. His voice was making my skin crawl, it's like he needs to cough or he's gasping for his last breath. I felt suffocated just looking at him.
I've also never heard anybody say oh I love Johnny Vegas, he's hilarious. Maybe the joke is that he's not actually funny at all but somehow makes a living out of it. Hilarious.

Suffice to say, I switched off Benidorm fairly lively.

I saw him in Kilkenny, at the Cat Laughs.

He was ranting and raving making no sense, definitely off his head. Then he stripped off most of his clothes and went out to the beer garden dancing on top of one of the tables. Completely bizarre and sad. I never liked him. Fcking terrible display of 'comedy'.


My TA: feeling sad and nobody to cheer me up.
