Things That Trivially Annoy You.

Slept in my mothers house last night. I only had one tiny flat pillow so had to sleep with my arm under the pillow.

Woke up with a dead arm.

There is a use for that I’ve heard of.....

Woke up with pains in the points of my elbows.

This is very trivial but on reddit on the Ireland sub, they love starting thread titles with ''Lads, .......'' and it's very annoying.

TA I have 50 handbooks to punch and bind this weekend. Binding has to be one of the most soul destroying jobs EVER.
Them plasticky yokes, arrrghh.
Don't want to think about it but I have to otherwise I'll be leaving it till the last minute and my Sunday will be ruined.

Kitty6277 · 12-10-2018 12:18pm

They're building a new student accommodation right across from ours, which is a floor higher than the one we're on. When it's finished it's gonna completely block the view from our kitchen window

I more than likely won't be here when that happens, but I'm still TA'd about it

Overacting in some American shows. Shows which would otherwise be pretty good. Two-dimensional, wooden, overdramatic, OTT performances, which make the show impossible to connect to, like from trashy 90s U.S. soaps. So disappointing when you know the show could be pretty good without it.

Could be worse - could be Goys, now that's a TA

Extreme trivial annoyance here but I've noticed a lot of people have started signing off emails with "Please advise reference same".
Aside from not making grammatical sense, the "reference same" part is totally redundant. If the email was about a software project, I'm not gonna reply advising about the best chicken tikka recipe.

Omackeral · 12-10-2018 4:28pm

''Thanks...I just spit tea/coffee/beer all over my keyboard/screen/phone!''

No, you didn't. Stop lying.

Most of the cool, hip, sci-fi-superhero series these days look identical, too - same lights, same settings, same wardrobe, "actors" that "act" only using their eyebrows to express their feelings and emotions....

I've a colleague who signs off every mail with "Please advise me". It's obviously part of his signature. It irks me no end. Are you that bad at your job/life in general that you need to include a catch-all request for advice in every single email you send???

CrowdedHouse · 12-10-2018 5:41pm

The touch screen on my laptop has stopped working, I almost never use it - but now that I know it's not working it's annoying me.

Trigger Happy · 12-10-2018 6:56pm

When you leave a cash tip on the table and the waitress who picked it up was not the one who was so nice looking after us for the past few hours.
I know they probably share tips but still!

Comhrá · 12-10-2018 9:58pm

When a pedestrian about to cross the road presses the button to stop the traffic even though I'm the only motorist within a mile, and they can't just wait 3 or 4 seconds till I drive past.

I'm a weirdo that sleeps with No pillows at all and just on the mattress

So TA for me when I go anywhere and there is a mountain stack of fat pillows Ive to throw off the bed

Even the smallest pillow makes me uncomfortable so I lie completely flat on a mattress

We have a customer that sends an email, then rings us immediately to see if we got the email, then tells us the contents of the email and demands an answer.

They have never once got an answer on the spot other than "let me investigate and get back to you".
I think that they call to impress their bosses or something, they come from that sort of culture where if you make the loudest noise, you must be important.

Kitty6277 · 12-10-2018 10:32pm

Something, somewhere is beeping. Don't know what it is, but it's annoying

Microwave
Washing Machine
Dishwasher
Fridge (left the door open)
Smoke alarm (the dreaded battery)
Alarm clock
Phone (needs charging)

I'll think up a few more.

I think it's coming from outside somewhere, it sounds far away enough, but it's loud enough that I can still hear it

I wouldn't think so, I'm really near the city. Not just me who can hear it though, someone asked in the group chat for our accommodation if anyone else could hear it as well

TA that I cant think of something different to cook using a pork steak that I bought today

branie2 · 12-10-2018 11:18pm

The David Hasslehoff ad promoting the upcoming 80s and 90s disco that keeps appearing in my Facebook feed.

That fcuking beeping. Would it ever just stop? :mad:

TA at being in a relatively good mood most of the week and then getting to Friday and being miserable! Nothing I hate more than wasting a Friday night because I’m feeling out of sorts.

Theres a consultant I have to work with who will email me, then call me to say he's emailed me, then spend 20 minutes on the phone telling me what is in the email, then once he hangs up on me, calls another staff member to tell them what he's emailed me. Its infuriating.

Got the touch screen working again - now the screen is all paw marks and I remembered why I rarely used it...:pac:

People bringing fcuking picnics to the cinema.

No, I don't want to hear you chomp down on a giant bag of Tayto thanks :mad:

TG1 · 13-10-2018 1:16pm

Have plans. Started new medication yesterday. All I want to do is sleep. Will need to leave my house in an hour and today it is more than a TA.

13-10-2018 1:43pm

Shops & market stalls with a sign up saying
' no photos '
Why?
Am I somehow depreciating your stock by taking a photo? Am I stealing some of your stocks soul?
Maybe I may come back & buy something I took a photo of!
No photo, no sale to me.....

New Home · 13-10-2018 2:22pm

No, but for all they know you could be a competitor trying to "steal intellectual property", fishing for ideas, etc., or the people manning the stalls might not want to be photographed (which is well within their rights). Also, why do you need to take a photo of something before buying it? I don't understand it, to be honest. Buy their merchandise, and take all the photos you want in the comfort of your own home.

It's all the same stuff!!

New Home · 13-10-2018 2:42pm

Maybe next time ask them why they don't want people to take photos. I'm only guessing.

13-10-2018 3:13pm

My new TA is when people question you about your TA. Or try to prove it shouldn't be a TA!!!

Irish people in the rain who either have a manic grin or put on an expression that they should get some kind of medal for their endurance of the inclement weather.
