    The term 'for sh*ts and giggles', don't know why it annoys me so much.

    People who try crossing the road when there is a pedestrian crossing/green man about 50 feet further along. Now that's really annoying! walk the extra few steps to where you're supposed to cross! !I

    I swear to god, I'm this close to grabbing the phone off her and throwing it out the window.

    I have come close to doing this, I really really don't want to hear the details of other people's lives, at top volume, on the bus/ train.

    The very fat person I saw the other day waiting for a lift. The alternative (stairs) takes about 15 seconds to climb, even for me with my currently banjaxed hip (bone infection).

    How ****ing lazy are some people? I'm sick of this taboo that surrounds people with blatantly unhealthy lifestyles. Just like mental illness, no-one dares talk about or challenge the obese, the alcoholics (ah, he's just fond of a drink) etc....

    Also, I hate walking past the gate of a certain hospital every morning on my way to college, and there is ALWAYS a gaggle of wrinkley faced crones coughing and puffing outside the gates. Do they not ever look in a mirror and wonder what's causing the premature mummification?


    Get off the bloody Bensons for **** sake! Same for you, young and gorgeous women on a night out in town....you go to all that effort with clothes, hair, and makeup, you spend heaps of money trying to look as young and healthy as possible, and destroy the whole image with a filthy fag hanging from your gob.\

    It's not sexy or glamorous. Kick it!!!!!!!

    Straight off the bat, let's go ahead and say the same thing again:

    - People standing on escalators.

    I know, I know; that's what they're for, but Jaysus don't be so lazy.

    I lack creativity...

    I'm missing something obvious, aren't I? I would've thought if they wanted to look up your skirt, they'd have a better angle standing on the steps further down?

    It's clearly not something I've ever given a lot of thought to... :o

    That reminds me -

    The D4 accent I actually don't mind it, but it's a bit of a mental mindfcuk when you hear children as young as three and four speaking with a Texan drawl after being babysat by the TV and fed a steady diet of Barney and Bear in the Big Blue House! :confused:

    I guess now I know how our parents felt when we would mimic Sylvester the cat, Foghorn Leghorn, Yosemite Sam, Elmer Fudd and of course, Bugs Bunny... :o

    Never understood the attraction. I'm a relatively young and hot-blooded male but....yuck!

    Use of imagination is much sexier. Fully clothed but snug fitting enough to reveal shape and voila - 'theater of the mind' comes into play!

    people using 'was like' or 'went' too much instead of 'said'.

    People who relay conversations starting each sentence with
    'and she turned around to him.....'
    'and then he turned around to her.....'
    'and she then turned around to him.......'

    Surely they would be very dizzy at this stage?

    People who pretend not to have heard of something/someone incredibly popular or newsworthy. It's as though they think they score points by feigning ignorance to everyone about something.

    Like someone might reply saying "Barack Obama? never heard of him" or "I had to google Man United there to know what you were talking about, apperently they play soccerball....?"

    The more popular someone is, the more likely someone will say they've never heard of them, I'm loathe to use the word, but it seems a very hipster-like thing to say. As though they are proving to you that they have better tastes and interests so this all passed them by.

    Secondly, the type of person who must think that their death will instantly occur if they miss the opportunity to say (or probably copy and paste, given the frequency with which it's said) the following in any thread about Celtic, republicanism/nationalism, or the GAA:

    "I always find it amusing/ironic the way they all say they hate Britain, but they all support British teams in the Premiership"

    Often paired with photo of the lad in the Celtic tracksuit outside Croker.

    I sorta see it as a Godwin type statement, its such a stock argument with no thought put into it.

    Those fücks who point at their wrist while asking for the time. :mad:

    Oh and cracking your knuckles. Just stop.

    Easy way to solve that one. Simply point at your cock when you want to ask where the bathroom is. ;)

    When you're walking in a crowd and the person infront of you is trying their best to walk as slow as humanly possible and because its so packed, its hard for you to outpass them and then they stop, right infront of you. Literally the most frustrating thing ever.

    The phrase "turned around"

    "And then I turned around and was like...and then she turned around and said...and then I turned around and told her..."

    Kunts rotating mid conversation like a rotisserie chicken!

    Haha I had a driving instructor once who used this phrase very regularly - I didn't know that though in my first or second so when he said "Now just turn around and put on your indicator" I turned the car around!
