When you pull the trigger and get a click rather than a bang.

Damn Hollywood.

When you are trying to peel a price sticker off an item you just bought and your thumbnail/fingernail bends just a little.... it feels like someone has pulled it off with a pair of old rusty pliers. So price label stickers are a trivial annoyance to me.

Im sure its been said loads but, people out shopping in general drives me crazy! esp in shopping centres but overall really. They stop suddenly right in the middle of the aisle, shopping centre or on the street to talk to someone. or they just walk really slow but you cant quite get by them because theres another slowie coming your way and youre trying to duck through but no, aggghhh, annoying! just move along people, or at least stand in out of the way of everyone!

Price stickers on books, and still worse... Price stickers on books that don't come off in one piece. Swaretagad, I spent 15 minutes picking one off the other day.

Those security stickers they put on the three sides of any game you buy from Game. The ones that don't come off in one section, and you have to find an edge at least 3 times per sticker:mad:

People who say "yolo".... If you are about to jump out of a plane its just about forgivable. But saying it because youre going to have an extra spoon of sugar in your coffee should earn you a slap of a wet fish.

Actually saying "hashtag" before a descriptive in real life should warrant severe beatings too.

People who stand out on the road at pedestrian by a junction crossings waiting on the lights to change :mad:

would anyone really mind if i ran over there foot with the back wheel of my van they shouldn't have been there

Garzard · 10-01-2014 6:31pm

The radio keeps going static whenever I walk into the room. :mad:

Czarcasm · 10-01-2014 6:38pm

Ahh bollocks! Went all the way back out to the office to get my laptop, got the laptop, had a niggling feeling I was forgetting something... "Nah, it's grand, I have everything", got home, went to plug in the laptop...

Forgot to plug out the power adapter for the laptop and left it behind me in the office... have to go back out again! :mad:

vitani · 10-01-2014 6:47pm

On the train home and there's a woman near me with an old Samsung phone deleting what seem to be hundreds of text messages or something. After each one, there's a little beep thing of confirmation.

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

People who stand in shop doorways or any doorways really, take pubs for example, oh I'll just stand here and light my cigarette and pollute the people trying to pass by me as well as block their way.

I warned everyone I know last year not to do any of that stuff, my brother was going to put one of those childhood photos in the local rag. I took the opposite route of 40th birthdays and did nothing for it. I wouldn't even let my husband take the day off work, I know, I should have given the long suffering chap the day off work, but I was depressed. I even had a little weep:o, I never do crying.

I got a fantastic watch and a fabulous designer handbag as well as lots of goodies out of it though, might as well get something decent for turning 40. Be glad to be 41 next week, as mad as it sounds, it won't be as traumatic as turning 40 was.

"Yolo" is never, ever forgiveable!

Imagine how I feel when I'm in Ennis - there's a restaurant bar with that exact name. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Forgot there was a second version.

was wondering why everyone was so quiet

Kidchameleon · 10-01-2014 8:23pm

I hate the term "Dipped headlights" and I have no idea why

Pumpkinseeds · 10-01-2014 8:25pm

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

deise08 · 10-01-2014 8:47pm

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

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!!!!!!!

Aidric · 10-01-2014 10:09pm

The misuse of the word shocking. Most things aren't.

The Princess Bride · 10-01-2014 10:39pm

People who write the word "weather",when they mean "whether".

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...

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!

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...

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?

CrabRevolution · 11-01-2014 2:03am

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.

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

Whatsisname · 11-01-2014 4:49am

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.

AlanS181824 · 11-01-2014 9:51am

Yeah people walking slow annoy me... Especially tourists... Heh :pac:

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 11-01-2014 11:08am

i was out drinking last night with my french flatmate and her friends

and I just know they're going to wake up this morning with clear heads and go skipping down to the off license for more drink tonight like i would have when I was their age

bastards

young bastards

eisenberg1 · 11-01-2014 11:44am

I know there is always going to a certain amount of repetition here, but it drives me nuts when someone post something, or a slight variation of something that was posted maybe two pages back

Wacker The Attacker · 11-01-2014 12:07pm

when youre having a **** and you accidentally squirt some juice onto your leg.

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!
