Saw two obese rancid slags earlier at the shop in pajama's and slippers at Spar earlier, made my stomach churn.

Does this happen in other countries?? They should be barred from shops, put a bouncer on the door, dress code ftw.

People who claim that they/their children have ADHD.

It's a made up illness. Just learn some control of yourself/your children. Being given an imaginary illness doesn't absolve you from your acting like a tosser.

any drawers that are even slightly open even if its just that the doors arent aligned and its not actually open...i have to sort it out.

It's a form of OCD .

Bad language; not when someone gets a fright or is very angry but when it is used as a noun, adverb, adjective. It actually hurts my ears, I think that it denotes complete laziness on the part of the inarticulate user and I just don't feel that person is as worthy of respect as others. Everyone curses but it is now so commonplace in Ireland, I still think that is just so unmannerly and I don't care if this sounds prudish. The majority of people that curse like that are well able to refrain from it if it is in their interest to do so e.g at a job interview. I think it makes our society coarser and if we all tried to be a little bit more mannerly and thoughtful to others in speech and in actions it would make this a much better place to live.

- People who stick their L-plates on the wrong way around.
- Old people at the post office or bank minutes before it closes... you have had all day to get there, and I had to leave work early to make it! Get out of the queue!
- Those Daft Dave ads on the radio
- People doing ridiculously slow speeds in the fast lane of the motorway

Males wearing ankle socks. It's just wrong. It looks wrong. Cut that sh1t out please.

People who don't flush the toilet wreck my head.. It's fcuking disgusting. I can't pee into a used toilet....
I also can't stand people who hate cursing.. (Yea i'm talking to you Bethany!!) Fupper..
I also hate any ad's on the radio where they pretend it's not an add at all that it's just 2 people having the craic about the financial regulator or some ****e like that.. I also hate the way Derek Flood from today fm laughs. He sounds like he's sorts choking..
Lot's of other things as well.. Oh yeah i hate when people at work speak that bullsh!t dialect where they talk about target markets and being pro-acvtive and synergy and 'hooks'. I'd like to give them a hook, and by that i mean take a hook and tear them a new ear or nostril..

Sean^DCT4 · 26-10-2007 2:39pm

I agree with the OP.
From my University experience, I saw that most students that had grants did not work or need to. They could afford student accomodation and go out most nights of the week.

Usual $hit for the PAYE working families.

So my list is:

People who know every loop-hole to get money from social services
People who litter
Taxi drivers
Bouncers

katieboo · 26-10-2007 3:25pm

People who wait 10 minutes at the bus stop but only start looking for their change when they step on the bus. Does my fu*cking head in. I mean you know you are getting the bus, you know you have to pay, have your fu*king change ready - dickheads!!

Dinxminx · 26-10-2007 3:29pm

I hate it when people wear clothes that are blatantly too small for them.
I hate it when people go through divorces that last twice the length of their marriage.
I hate it when women (usually yummy-mummy types) wear the most beautiful shoes and then ruin the effect by walking like a duck, with their feet turned right out.
I hate it when people spit on the street.
I hate it when the battery on my iPod runs out and I'm still only halfway home.

Board-in-work · 26-10-2007 4:23pm

1. People who start fiddling around in their pockets / purses for bus change - only when they are actually on the bus holding the whole queue up. (These people are usually waiting on the bus for 10 mins and only realise they need money when they get on the bus). These people usually spend their weeks holding up supermarket queues too (oh? I need something called money???? shall I look for some now??)

2. Same thing at airports - Oh?? I have to take metal out of my pocket?? And take my jacket off now?? - walks thru metal detector- oh?? does my belt buckle count?? silly me!!

3. Service charges in restraunts that are included in the bill. Try asking for it back if they service is ****. Also paying for the meal before you get it - what if It's not cooked properly? or sub-standard - too late I've payed for it....

4. 1 in 10 women apparently.

Oh I hear you, Niamho! same here. Can't stand opened doors, presses, etc. Can't stand leaving the light on when exiting the room. Hate people who try so hard to impress and please everyone.

Its the same at the toll bridge when some muppet drives into the auto fare lane, and then goes to their pocket/change purse/sock to get the correct change. DO IT BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE, MORON.

People who stop at the bottom of escalators to decide which way to go next.

People who think queuing means standing idly in the vicinity of the person using whatever service they are waiting on while doing their best to disguise the fact they are waiting.

"...blood cold sober..." I mean, WTF like

The type of housemate that insists that they always wash up after themselves trying to exempt themselves from sorting the mountain in the sink that inevitably appears sooner or later. Yeah well so do I so how is it I am washing all this stuff. Bet you keep your own bog roll in your room too you retard.

****ing idiots with prams/buggys, usually women, who decide the best place to hold a conversation with someone is in the ****ing doorway of a building/shopping centre. there could be 300 thousand square feet on the other side of the door but noooooo, they have to talk in the one place that discomodes the rest of civilisation. they do the same thing at escalators too.

ignorant pricks.

Cathmandooo · 20-11-2007 1:37pm

People on a packed train who move towards the door behind the people getting off at the stop before them. I hope that makes sense! As in you're standing back to let people get off and the last person stops right in front of you and is getting off at the next stop :mad: The people crammed at the doorway are entitled to get off first! argh

I fundamentaly don't like the taste of tomatoes, I gag when my tongue tastes the pulpy bit! (and yes I do like Ketchup, it doesn't taste like tomatoes)

It is the one food that you are guaranteed to get with a sandwich, meal, burger etc unless you specifically ask not to!

People in sandwich shops even go into autopilot with them. You ask for lettuce, onion and peppers and guess what you get, tomatoes!

I went to a cafe on South William street on a visit to dublin last month and everything on the menu had tomatoes in it except the "green salad" so I ordered the green salad. Guess what the main ingredient in the "Green salad" was???...Tomatoes! which to me are not green but hey?
NEVER assume! always specify!
People who like tomatoes never understand this irritation, anyone else have the same experiences with the dreaded tomato?

and the expression "he wanted to have his cake and eat it " why on earth would you want a cake if you couldnt eat it

Actually I had this one explained to me. I also thought it was retarded until I understood it. The idea is, you want to still have your cake after you've eaten it. As in, after the guy eats his cake he goes "Aww, I miss my cake". Well dude, you can't have your cake and eat it.

Not very intuitive I admit.

Funny, blogged about this today on the link in my sig (shameless promotion, I know)
1. When you’re trying to eat a slice of pizza and the cheese doesn’t break off properly and burns your chin or just stretches out endlessly.

2. When you walk into a room and forget why you went there

3. When people are taking ages at the ATM machine. What could they possibly be doing that takes so long?

4.When you go bed earlier with the intention of getting an early night and then not being able to sleep.

5. When you have a missed call on your phone from a private/withheld number.

6. Waiting at the damn bus stop for ages, when everyone else’s bus seems to be coming every minute.

7. When you find yourself somewhere surrounded by other people’s screaming children.

8. When you put your hand under a table and find someone else’s old chewing gum stuck there

9. When everyone else’s line in a shop is moving so much faster than yours.

10. When you get into the shower and it’s freezing on your poor naked body

Stinky essays and dissertations.

When people respond to threads without reading them properly and go into rants.

The sight of wrists freaks me out so much! I can't even look at my own.

Veins.

Getting poked in places where there’s skin but no bones, e.g. your ankles or temples.

People tipping me to get my attention. I have to repress the urge to turn around and hit them!

When my socks roll down too low.

When people lick their fingers,

When I loan someone a pen and they suck on it.

Prissy vicious dogs especially Pomeranians.

Stupid girls that giggle all the time.

Girls that ruin themselves with fake tan and dress for college like their going out on the town. You look like frozen umpa lumpas!

People who overdo eye contact.

When people have strong unwavering opinions on things they actually know nothing about.

People that stay ages at ATM's! What are you doing?!

Scanger teenagers that play dance music that sounds like the chipmunks out loud on the bus.

Scanger fashion among teenagers.

Bold children and their parents that won’t discipline them properly.

People who don’t give up their seats for elderly people on public transport.

Anything like eurostar, X factor or American idol.

Reality TV in general.

Cold Sores.

My inability to concentrate.

Condoms (I'm allergic to latex)

The cold.

Rain.

Wind.

Winter.

Daniel O Donnel.

Not getting enough sleep.

Spelling and grammar Nazis on this thread. I'm afraid to so much as leave out a comma.

Stuck up cliquey people.
