Things That Trivially Annoy You.

Pawwed Rig · 24-10-2018 6:06pm

Dentist calls 2 days before appointment -

'Would you be available to come in at 4pm rather than 4:30pm as planned? '

'Sure' says I and readjusted my schedule.
Arrived at dentist at 3.50 and end up sitting in waiting room for 35 min.

When you have a late lunch and aren't hungry for dinner, but are starving around 10pm.

Virgin media box forgetting to record random episodes. Can’t cope.

CrowdedHouse · 24-10-2018 6:59pm

Door to door sales are really annoying. I try to be polite cos it must be a bollocks of a job.

Vodafone and Pre Pay power are the regular offenders, I didn't want it 3 months ago and not today either. Don't be annoying me or I'll release my savage Lhasa Apsos

Two gripes in one...........i do a lot of home visits. sometimes in the middle of nowhere, sometimes north, south dublin, could be anywhere. i say i'll be there at e.g. 3.00
sat nav on
my phone rings just as the sat nav is telling me to turn right or left (and usually in the middle of a complicated housing estate)
i can't hear my sat nav
i miss my turn

IF and only IF i decide to take the call (as i dutifully pull over) its the clients asking me if i'm coming. its 2.50. wait till i'm not there before you call me.................

She's your next door neighbour for the last 11 years

I'm the opposite, never forget faces or names...it's a bit off putting for people when you address them by their first name and ask how their hubby is doing...and you haven't seen them in 35 years

Same here. A good memory can be a curse. I still remember people I went to Irish college with or met on holidays back in the early 1980s. It's usually not reciprocated.

You need to keep a bucket of slop at hand, just in case the "Samantha approach" doesn't prove successful.

Effing Technology. :mad::mad::(:( Phone was so good for a while. Well not anything great but it was working and charging! But I let the Battery run out fully today, why didn't I just fcuking run into other room and plug it in when it was at 1% and still on. But no. I didn't. I just let it die. Can't charge it at all now or turn it on or nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero. Nuzzing.

I have it plugged in here now to Power-Bank and the Power-Bank is lit up, which should indicate it is charging the Phone. Buttt Phone looks dead as a dodo. There's no picture of a Battery counting up on the screen or nothing at all. If I can feicing turn the thing on that might give it a bit of a giddy-up and charge it. But it won't turn on.

I know the last time I was trying to revive Phone from its' death there was a knack to holding/pressing the couple of buttons to switch it back on. But I can't remember. :rolleyes::( It could just be that more time is needed to bring power to the Phone if it's a thing that a Power Bank operates off a lower power system than a standard Charger might. I wonder would that be it. Even though I've it attached to Power Bank now for the last couple of hours but still nothing not a thing, you would think Battery icon should be displayed on the screen charging away by now but no nothing. :mad::(

I HATE TECHNOLOGY!

Reading the job briefs for some of the shifts I can apply for and they're all so strict on uniform, many of them say no jewellery, so it looks like I'm gonna have to get a clear nose stud to keep my nose piercing open and pray that it works. First time I'll ever have to do that, despite all my jobs being customer facing and no one ever had a problem with it :rolleyes:

The connection within the phone where the charger plugs in could be loose or broken. The charge is not getting to the battery.

TA that I am wide awake again.

Wow Im really grouchy! I gave out to the women on the street talking loudly last night waking me up and now I asked the two lads beside me on the train to quieten down! Id my earphones in could still hear them!

Woke up to the sound of post landing in the hall, the sound resembled the sound of a DVD/video game case hitting the floor, I've dropped many a DVD case so I'm used to the sound. My heart skipped a beat thinking it was the new and eagerly anticipated Red Dead Redemption game that I've been waiting on for ages, as well as millions of other people. Game isn't due out till Friday, me overjoyed with the certainty of the noise, I boot it downstairs to collect my package and hug the postman...

I look down at the front door and it's a property tax bill. Well...f**k it anyway!

Must have imagined the "DVD case noise"

Waaaaah!

I know the feeling.

Charity fund raiser at work. The cash collectors are way too happy smiley people.

Bigbagofcans · 25-10-2018 11:30am

A white van hogging the overtaking lane in front of me this morning for 10 minutes. They were going slow but fast enough so that no one could undertake them.

I'd usually be quite patient in this situation but they were blatantly doing it on purpose. After eventually pulling into the left lane, I passed them and the driver looked out at me with a horrible smug smile. I gave her the middle finger, she deserved it.

diceyriley · 25-10-2018 12:01pm

Being asked to do a pointless task in work. It's easier to just do it than question it.

A collection of ta's.
An email sent to sib about his pet insurance,'with x co, your pet is insured for life'! in the tiny print it says s this only applies if he keeps renewing his policy and keeps his payments up to date.:rolleyes:

A flyer from a local shop X brand toilet tissues, 12 pack of toilet tissues, 2 packs for 10e,
In-store same brand a pack of 24 toilet tissues is 9.99.

Just dealing with day to day stuff is too mathematical!

Check for fluff in the charging hole!!

I found a mechanical pencil in my drawer and I can't stop playing with it. I spent an hour in a meeting colouring in a page on my notebook with it.
It's nearly out of lead now because I keep breaking the tip off.

“I’m Mary, and I can travel with you, and guide you blah blah blah” in the most annoying voice imaginable.

I’d rather have my teeth done in a Kwik Fit garage.

You would probably get a better job done as well. She was caught out using pictures of work she claimed were done by the practice she represents but were actually done by an irish dentist. The irish dentist who did the work posts on boards. He knew they were his work because the teeth in question belonged to his mother.

CrowdedHouse · 25-10-2018 3:36pm

My well-meaning neighbours don't seem to get that I occasionally like to walk to or from the local town, fresh air exercise etc. so I don't need a lift but thanks all the same.

Is that your way of showing them that you fancy them? 'cause, like, flowers and chocolates might prove more successful (provided your OH already works with you, or you'd get into trouble).

Yeah he staples each finger and thumb. She loves me, she loves me not...

Boom_Bap · 25-10-2018 4:34pm

Generally they know I fancy them with all the drooling and panting.
I never buy chocolates because I know they would never get to the intended recipient before i stuff my fat face with all them at the same time.

Want to take tomorrow off so have been trying to grab a hold of my boss all day but he's in and out of meetings like a fiddler's elbow. Going to have to wait til he finishes his last one so I can ask him, so it's going to be a late evening. I'll be raging if he says no!
