    Dolmio ads. I'd love to know what Italian people think of those ads.
    Imagine the equivalent ad in Italy, for Irish stew in a jar, with a family of redheads sitting around going "jaysus mammy, dats great stew beggorrah" "toorah loorah to be sure"

    Irish newspapers that describe some woman their photograph as 'stunning' when she clearly is not.

    Big bushy beards annoy me. Surely they can't be very hygienic? Don't get me wrong, some beards look really good on some men, but the majority of beardy guys I see around and about have unkempt beards that look ridiculous.

    one guy I know in particular is about 30 but his long hair and beard makes him look about 50 and filthy, really wish his wife would just grow a pair and tell him to cut the thing off

    I would say most Italians wouldn't feed it to the dog. Seriously how hard is it? Fry some onion, garlic and some pesto in a little olive oil, add a carton of passata and some basil, salt and pepper and a few mushrooms. Job done.

    Not finding out that your flight is delayed until after you go through security. Opportunity for Diep completely lost. :(

    A bit TA'd at BA too because this is my second delayed flight this weekend with them...

    What really annoys me is when people who pass you by walking and they aren't even going any faster than you. A couple ran past me and slowed to the same walking pace as myself and also cut right in front of me. I don't see the point.

    Floppy liquid eye-liner brushes that have no stability as you run it across your eyelid-line.
    You know what I mean; flimsy floppy little brushes that just don't draw a line.
    This is why I'm all about the gel-liner pots and brushes.
    No treble.

    Heartburn. I am close to tears here
    Drinking gaviscon like it's going out of production, milk, toothpaste in milk after someone suggested it.

    I genuinely feel like I'm about to breathe fire. It's so bad, this will probably last til September :(

    Bugs the sh*t out of me trying to get anything on a Sunday!

    Wanted to buy a product yesterday. Tried Argos; two "Extra" stores (which are supposed to have all stock) - both of them - product out of stock.

    Telephone Power City - one communal number for ALL stores.

    Rang Harvey Norman - left on hold for ages before I checked online and found out they weren't actually open until 12 (which is a pain in itself) but they kinda failed to mention that on the phone recording - just asked you to keep holding.

    Called up - don't have it - and (this is a real pet peeve) told me this line " Em, we don't have it in stock at the moment, but we should be getting it in stock soon. Could you call back on Thursday or Friday?" I reply - can you check and see if you are definitely getting it in? The reply is a classic.... "We don't know what stock we get in week to week, but we should have it though"... Yeah - that's ok - I'll just keep calling up here until you DO have it...

    Finally tried Power City - not open until 1pm - ffs! 1 pm! Do they only hire p*ss heads?

    or the whole "plus size model" thing >>

    http://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/news/a18375/plus-sized-models/

    In the fashion industry, "plus size" is a term for models who are size 8 and up.

    US size 8, so a UK size 12. A very healthy size for someone who is the height of a catwalk model!

    The modern phenomenon of getting upset far too easily.

    Latest example, Irish Water sent out a letter to a dead person
    http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/water/irish-water-crisis/irish-water-sent-bill-to-woman-six-years-after-death-31155428.html

    OK so it would be nice if that didn't happen, but all systems are computerised now, and often things like this happen. But is it the end of the world if it does? To some it seems like the worst thing ever, with it being the main headline on a website, complete with family members standing holding a copy of the water bill like idiots. And it wasn't even IW fault, as the name was taken from the electoral register.

    Now my own father is dead, but if a letter came in through the door for him, I would likely smirk and think how silly IW is, perhaps call them to let them know their error.

    I definitely wouldn't run off to a major newspaper and pose with the offending letter.

    They'll probably be looking for compo for emotional stress!

    +1

    My father passed away over 9 years ago nearly now and every now and again the bank would send some marketing info to him even though all his accounts are closed etc. I certaintly dont get upset when that happens I laugh at it,

    This compo culture is something that bugs the sh#te out me

    My TA is those photo's that 'newspapers' take of people outside their house, holding up the offending letter, or the chipped milk bottle, or the whatever it was that has ruined their life this week.

    The Daily Star have a fooking book out today with all the details of "the perfect murder, and how he nearly got away with it".

    Ghouls!
