Things I hate.

So next time some courteous driver (like me ) lets you out, just a small wave of thanks, a nod...even a lift of a finger - it makes all the difference.

Hehe! Totally agree! In my case it's usually NI drivers who are the least courteous. As you've already said, it wouldn't take much to nod or wave.

Quatre Mains

1. Women who persist in placing their change into the different compartments of their purses without moving the 12 inches or so required for you to get to the poxy counter

2. Most retail staff, bus drivers, taxi drivers (apparently over 1000 of Dublins taxi drivers have a crim record) , NCT 'testers' , gardai and customs staff, who obviously all went to the same charm school. Ambassadors for Ireland the lot fo them

3. The increasing belief amongst young Irish people that we're the funniest, soundest people in the world, especially when abroad. More like arrogant and
up our own arses.

4. The way everyone cheers whenever England do badly in sport

5. The Square and its poxy radio ads

6. The way bus queues turn to something like the front rows at Slane when the bus arrives

7. Immigrant drivers (most of them anyway) - turn off the poxy foglights on your crap white Sunnys, please

- theres many more but I'm getting wound up so I'm stopping before I go into a 25th Hour rant

I was in the car with my cousin some years back when he let someone out of a side road. Instead of a wave of thanks he got the v sign and a shaken fist from both parties in the car followed by the window being rolled down and abuse been shouted - which we couldn't hear.

Baffling.

ATM Idiots
You know, the ones who queue up to use an ATM when there's one just inside the door, or around the corner, yet either don't know there's one there or don't want to move from their queue. Also includes: The HUGE numbers of ppl lining up to use the ATMs in Jervis St. shopping centre - get a fricking laser card!

Bus idiots!
In Ranelagh the 11 bus goes past one bus stop, then goes around the corner about 20 metres and stops again. People queue at this second bus stop, and by the time the bus gets there it's jammers from the first one and they never get seats. Pah, get some intelligence and walk around the corner!

Toasters that don't make enough noise
So when the toast pops you miss it. Everyone knows you HAVE to butter toast when it's piping hot...

Damn changeable weather[/
The one day you don't bring an umbrella to work it lashes rain.

Bus tickets
That get wet in the rain and don't work for the rest of the month, so you have to show the driver every time.

Non work-safe emails not being marked as non work-safe
Argh, my eyes!

DVD Burners
That get to 93% and then spit out your disc and chuckle evilly.

Prices of EVERYTHING
Soooo expensive. Damn you Ireland!

Screenshots
I hate taking screengrabs, grr, they're very very annoying.

Liars
People who lie to you about important things deserve to be diced up by someone with a blunt sword.

Coke from Saudi Arabia
If I'm paying €1.25 a bottle then I want decent Irish coke, not cheap imported crap thanks...

Heres my dirty dozen...

1. Manchester United.

2. Alex Ferguson.

3. People who lick their fingers before turning a page. I dont know why, but it grosses me out.

4. Sheep.

5. Feet.

6. Dublin.

7. Racism/Sexism/Ignorance/Arrogance.

8. Curry.

9. Red wine.

10. People in authority who abuse their status.

11. Ross in Friends. His character is completely hateful.

12. Hairy Backs.

Idiot females who queue at the checkout and when it's their turn they then decide to look for the purse and it is strange that this same person will look for the odd 87c when their bill comes to €8.87c. Just take the €1.13c in change for god sake.
AND
The person who insists on paying by CC no matter how little their bill is.
AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
