Random Irritations

At the gate airport security; Vienna airport does not do security checks as you enter the airport, you get all the way to your gate and then you have the phones out shoes off routine. Why not do it earlier so that we can stay in the lounge area rather than sit in a departure lounge with next to bog all facilities?
 
Motorway signage still advising you may need to check your documentation if travelling to the EU after Nov 1st...

Pointless or what?

Those "information" signs irritate me every day as they could be so useful but are usually less than informative. Last week I actually saw one that was hepful as it said A14 closed J#toJ# (whatever) but then added with the towns those exits were for. Who remembers Junction Numbers off by heart?!
 
Two random irritations

Minor one, none dishwasher safe cups , throw all the cups in the dishwasher for the builders for next day. Couple are ruined .. just annoying

Second is windows!! Previous previous owner put in lovely brown windows. Look great only issue is when the loft happened we needed to match .. (wife says) so means triple the cost. No issue really until last Monday they arrived damaged and a week later we still don't have replacement .. builder is cross with his guys he always uses but if we had white.. plenty in stock
 
Add airlines that allow oversize bags past check in and then try to shame other passengers into putting their luggage into the hold. Just enforce your own regulations. Yes, that’s you BA. 🤬🤬🤬
 
Off to the dentist tomorrow to have my crown fitted. Mrs d comments that if I’d told her last week she could have moved some work to drop me off.
She’s gone pretty quiet now I resent the text from 2 weeks ago telling my appointment was booked for tomorrow
 
Diwali. Fireworks down my road for hours yesterday, and again tonight. I am not a killjoy, and quite like the odd firework, but they scare the beejaysus out of my two cats. Neither of them like it, and 4 hours of it each night is way too much. Mog1 is now hiding in a primark bag in the lounge, and mog2 is somewhere under a bed.

My dog isn’t a great fan of them either so we’re having snuggles on the sofa

Sometimes, the 'Like' button just doesn't seem loud enough.
 
I have zero interest in rugby , I don't enjoy watching and i hated playing it at school

I was made to watch today with the father in law so I will politely watch and not moan, I can fake interest but I can't stand when people are then super fans after it .. for about a week
I watched the whole game voluntarily. The first full game of rugby that I have ever watched. Only because the golf competition was cancelled on the Saturday morning due to the monsoon conditions. I won't be watching the final this week as I will be out on the course.

Absolutely 100% Poor Ted has been barking himself hoarse every night since Saturday, poor lad, I have had him wrapped up in a blanket to try to comfort him but he’s very distressed.
+ my new car is covered every morning by bits of fireworks, ash and orange chemicals!😡😡😡
 
Not looking forward to the weekend. My new kitten, Arby, has never experienced fireworks so no idea how this will go. He has had his op and can go outside now but holding that back until I see how he reacts to the noise

Give us a clue, is your 2nd irritation with:
  1. the builder
  2. the window type
  3. the window cost
  4. your wife
  5. the previous owner
  6. that they were damaged
  7. the delivery time
  8. Windows in general

:unsure:
