Pet Peeves

The tune is horrible, the lyrics are worse. Of all the crooners to choose from, he gets the nod. Baffling.

[Carnage]

Awful, cringeworthy song. Totally unnecessary.

Long drive yesterday and had Classic FM on the wireless.  Tchaikovsky's 'Nutcracker' is fucking ruined for me as all I can hear is the advert that used the music and added lyrics - "everyone's a fruit and nut case"

I'd forgotten all about those lyrics but the memories have come flooding back

Failed the NCT on headlight alignment. Brought the car to a garage and they checked it on their machine and they said the alignment was fine 

So more money gone for a retest and money gone for a mickey mouse light adjustment that wasn't even necessary according to the garage.

Next door's baby crying 24 hours a fucking day. I feel sorry for them, and I remember what it was like when my kid was that age but..jesus, I can only take so much and this has been going on for months. Time for ye to move somewhere bigger than a one bedroom flat folks.

That's infuriating. The black hole of cash that is maintaining a car is one head wreck after another. My younger brother was a mechanic for 10 years but even that scaldy fucker is one of 'them', even when it's family. I bought a second hand Almera from the garage he worked at about 12-13 years ago(ex Kilkenny hurler Liam Simpson was the salesman but they are all in on it the cunts). Good price, solid car etc. Except for when I got a flat, the wheel brace didn't fit the nuts on the wheel, so I was left on the side of the road like a fuckin' eejit. I rang him to give out only to be told, 'here, as soon as you showed interest, that car was valeted and they threw whatever was to hand in the boot, you should have checked'. Brilliant, thanks. My auld lad had to come out the road with a universal changer (why don't they all have one of those) and was tutting and sighing as if it was my fault, the auld prick.

The Mrs has a company car with open insurance so we share it and it's some weight off the shoulders. If she ever kicks me out the next car will be a lease job.

Hard drive failure. An absolute bastard.

Social Media... namely Instacunt and Facecunt!
Suggested Posts and Sponsored Posts


IS THERE ANY WAY AT ALL TO BLOCK THE FUCKING THINGS?   


I know they are designed to draw you in, but it's having the complete opposite effect.
I've already deleted Facebook from my phone. Only check it occasionally online now, and even then as soon as I hit the first sponsored or suggested post I'm out.

Instagram is worse! Everything is non-relevent drivel.

[open face surgery]

You can "snooze" suggested posts on Instagram for 30 days at a time. Hit the x above the post and options pop up. Dunno if you can do it permanently, doubtful.

[Mower Liberation Front]

Click on the word Instagram on the top left, you'll get a menu, with two options, "following" and "favourites". Click on favourites and you just get posts from the people you follow, and as a bonus, it's actually in chronological order.

Human Resources are my pet peeve of the day. It's a completely unnecessary profession especially in tech. Most interviewing is done by team leads and approval is normally signed off by higher management. All they do is orchestrate policies that make life that little bit more difficult. In all industries they've attached themselves to people who can actually do something. A quick LinkedIn check of most recruiters/HR people normally reveals that they failed at another profession.

This, but change "HR" for "Compliance".

[hellfire]

They are the footsoldiers of compliance.

C#nts in land cruisers who pull out in front of you and proceed to drive at 50klm in a 80/100 zone with no trailer attached.  I guess nothing to do and all day to do it .
