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

That a society that routinely eats cows (and not so far away culturally and geographically, horses are routinely eaten) has lost its collective shlt because a man sat on a dead horse!

I mean, what do they think happens after a horse is euthanized? The undertakers come and gently put it in a coffin and solemnly bear it away?

Cow, shoot it in the head and eat it.
Live horse, sit on its back and whip it, your grand.
Dead horse, sit on it and you're a monster!

I genuinely don't understand the collective hand wringing over a dead horse.

Last year I think it was, a livestock vessel sank and only a handful of crew survived and people lost their sh1t about the cows.

The horse is dead, its struggles....if it had any, are over, it doesn't feel anything, least of all the "indignity" of being sat on.
Horses die all the fcuking time, they're mortal, who knew?

It's a horse, not a human, your auntie or your mom.
Maybe not a professional look the industry would like shown in public, but other than that, who cares?

I don't believe that that was the case.

“At what was a sad time, which it is when any horse under my care passes away, my initial reaction was to get the body removed from where it was positioned.

“I was standing over the horse waiting to help with the removal of the body, in the course of which, to my memory I received a call and, without thinking, I sat down to take it. Hearing a shout from one of my team, I gestured to wait until I was finished.

Well-thought-out "reasons" for shítty behaviour are always less likely to be believed in my books. If you've taken time to write out/say a well thought out excuse for doing something bad/horrible/questionable, etc., then you'll be fit to get a Nobel prize for fiction writing in future if any good is to come out of your lies.

I suppose I need to qualify for contributing to the thread instead of derailing, so consider "Thinking up a pathetic excuse for being a díckhead" as my TA for tonight.

The lowest volume setting on my laptop and phone still not being quiet enough (even on the first 1/4 of a step)

There's a mouse in my kitchen. I am not impressed.

Youtube ads. Apart from being too many alot of them are cheap crappy productions selling products and ideas that come across as seriously dodgy

What are you watching YouTube on?
If on a phone use Vance.
If on smart TV use Smart YouTube app.
If laptop, I don't know.
No more YouTube ads for me but yeah they were a pain.

I just saw Charlene McKenna doing an interview and her voice would go through you.

No more Netflix on the Apple TV:mad:
Yes, I can cast from my phone but there's something nice about pointing a remote at the screen.

Edit: not Netflix - that's still there.
Youtube is gone.

Dog walkers putting on rubber gloves, producing a dog-poo bag, and dutifully cleaning up after their dog but, instead of putting the full bag in a bin or taking it home with them, they throw it away or leave it on the ground close to where they cleaned up!

Yep, sh!tbombs. Worst thing is the moisture and heat trapped inside harbours bacteria, ready to burst out when walked on.

People who don't 'get' a problem, no matter how many times or how simply you break it down.

Example: I ask a staff member about there never being any of that bakery product the last 8 or 9 times I've been in, no matter what time of the day, even though there's still a label and a space.

Person lists alternatives, I say the one I'm looking for isn't there. "Oh we don't do that anymore."

That'd be fair enough, if he understood the problem was that the label and space shouldn't be there.

Previously, I'd asked another person about the same and was told they could have some out in 20 minutes.

Both were managers :facepalm:

-_-_-_-

Shop managers who stand watching staff rather than using their own hands to help out.

-_-_-_-

Shop managers who bark orders at staff. One manager I witnessed shouting - halfway across the menswear dept in Next, Blanchardstown - which sequence of buttons to press, at the poor girl on till. I regret not going over to tell him to get off his figurative pedestal.

-_-_-_-

Shop managers who look or walk away when a customer approaches them, as if they're above dealing with the public (Lidl Blanchardstown).

Managers who interrupt staff while they are serving you!
Really? What you have to say takes priority over them actually serving customers?

People wishing their children happy birthday on Facebook.

I saw one this morning saying “Happy 5th Birthday” with a load of soppy rubbish after it.

Talk about attention seeking.

Pulled this nail out of my tyre today.
Luckily I have a kit for plugging punctures at home.

The blessed “ stay at home “ in the corner in RTE .
I mean seriously , a year later do they think someone reads it on March 4th 21 and says “ Oops , we need to stay at home , I almost forgot but RTE reminded me “

There's an AIB ad talking about them going carbon neutral by 2030 and the voice over in it is so whiney!

Over to Greg. Thanks Sharon. <blurry cctv> Back to Sharon. Thanks Greg. <reconstruction> That's right, Sharon. ... Here's Tara. Thanks Sharon. <false reg plates> Over to Sharon. Thanks Tara. ... Now here's Louise. Thanks Sharon. <someone who didn't pay for their church candle>. Sharon. Thanks Louise.

Sharon's Call-Me-Sharon Crime Show.
(RTÉ CrimeLine)

I genuinely can't figure out if it's a running joke amongst them or she's just that narcissistic. Having said that, I've noticed the gardaí who don't say Sharon two or more times, will not appear the following month.

I just ate a packet of hunky dory salt and vinegar and it wasn't all hunky dory. They were too vinegary.

There’s no such thing as too vinegary!!
