I'm completely de-sensitised to them ads now. The ones that get me are the stories they show on comic relief.

Good oul Lenny has the whole family in the knots and then the mood is suddenly thrust into an awkard silence, people want to leave but know they shouldnt. But we still dont pick up the phone!

People who stand between the wall and the pole for the bus stop - so that you have to squeeze to go past or else go out on the road.

(especially where the footpath is quite narrow)

Also:

Banks (I hate going into them)
New Dart Trains - why the big seats ffs! - why not go for subway style seating - more seats AND standing room available!!!

How about those abortion protests they have outside the Bank on Westmoreland St. - they show horrible pictures - and kids can see them! I think its crazy - especially since abortion is against the law in Ireland - why do they bother!

I think i'm going to hold a protest against driving on the right hand side of the road.

*this isn't about abortion - just the images - we can leave that discussion to a different post.

ahaha yes i'd love to meet the guy who designed them. they took out four cubicle - for want of a better word - to make space for more standing.

yet if they followed the subway style of seating (seats just down the sides) then they would have even more standing, and more seating aswell.



i'll add my own here,

people in tesco's that take a trolley load of shopping to the self service checkout even though it plainly says 10 items or less.

people who read your free paper/magazine when you're on public transport, get your own ffs!

Oh those two really get to me. I'm liable to go postal on those people some day. Especially people "chomping" with their gob open when they eat. I can feel myself getting more agitated with each new bite. I feel like shouting "What the fnck is wrong with you?! Surely your parents got on to you about this when you were younger?!"

Ooh another one.

People who you are walking behind and suddenly stop to either: talk or stare in a window. My god that makes me so mad.

Another thing that gets me is people who push around buggies. They seem to think they own the pathway. I remember one time when me and a few friends were walking through Blanch Shopping Centre and my friend was walking and he dodged someone who abruptly stopped (ggrrr!) and ended up standing in front of someone pushing a buggy towards us. Needless to say my friend was clattered with the buggy and then proceeded to get shouted at by the wielder of the mobile weapon. Ridiculous!

Years ago shops used to have a long board hinged at one end for diverting the next shoppers things to the other side of the packing counter.

These are three of my biggest pet hates.

Most people snore a little from time to time, and a reasonable level of snoring isn't a big deal. But when it goes right through the wall and rattles the windows, then it's a problem. There are few things more infuriating than being kept awake by someone else's snoring (I have several fist-shaped dents in my bedroom wall to testify :eek:)

I've been on the wrong end of a few habitual liars in my time - what makes it worse is when they tell crap that is obviously ridiculous and expect it to be believed. We all have a few unbelieveable stories, but I find that if someone seems to constantly have a tall tale to tell, I mark them off as a waffle machine.

I usually have a long fuse, but the mouth-open-chewing thing is the one thing that will make me see red within seconds. If they're also making lip-smacky noises along with it, it makes me want to smack them in the lips. It's one of the most IGNORANT things someone can do - they even look like a fúcking gormless halfwit doing it. How hard can it possibly be to CLOSE YOUR FECKING MOUTH, JETHRO :mad:

Well, you might find solace in the fact that they clearly have a tiny penis

I'd like to add to the list:

Morons who YELL on their mobiles. It makes me want to explain to them how their voice is carried over distance via microwaves and that the person on the other end can hear them without them needing to shout. It's not two cans and a string FFS.

People who have yet to master the (apparently) difficult pronunciation of the phrases 'please' and 'thank you'. Also, seeing as I work in an internet café and callshop, people who can't even say the words 'phone' or 'computer', preferring instead to do a little phone thing with their hand (with optional accompanying grunt), or a little typing action thing on an invisible keyboard, leaving me to explain that I don't understand sign language.

Another small one that just reminded me of itself as I typed this: people who are unable to hand money to someone behind a counter, preferring instead to dump them on the countertop.

Getting stuck behind slow-moving people on the footpath when I'm trying to get somewhere in a hurry. It's especially annoying after work when I want to get home as quickly as possible but I'm forced to watch my bus drive off from the bus stop because I'm stuck behind a group of people walking three abreast.

Nearly being knocked down by cyclists on the footpath or at pedestrian crossings when the man is green and then being glared at as if I am in the wrong.

People who cut the queue, It is really annoying and I usually say something and one time nearly got in a fight this fecker around my age 19 but I was about 14 at the time. He was a member of the hiace brigade (knick knack paddy whack) There was about 15 people in the queue at McDonalds and he cut the queue, to the front and I said something like back of the line moron and he said whacha ya gonna do and shoved me, There was an off duty Garda in plain clothes who saw it happening as he was eating with his wife and kids and he immediately got up and told the ass*ole to leave the premises immediately or he would arrest him. Guards FTW I also hate to be on a bus or train etc and hear old biddys talking it is just so annoying.

this is from an email. i didnt write it but its very funny


1.* People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know
where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when
I ask where the toilet is?
*
2.* People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room
for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the
channel manually.
*
3.* When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too".
Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?
*
4.* When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is.
Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do
this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!
*
5.* When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I
paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.
*
6.* People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a
choice there, did ya sunshine?
*
7.* When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then
there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there
must have been something before it, couldn't be new.
*
8.* When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest
damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?
*
9. *When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come
yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

dogbert_the_dog

noticed this on the radio (again) earlier today. - people who use the retort 'absolutely' to condescendingly dismiss the point that was just made to them. Can't recall it ever having been said to me but it comes across as patronising and pig ignorant when I hear it used.
And wjile I'm ranting, people who use stupid bloody rhyming slang. I've nothing against rhyming slang in itself, just the people who use it all seem to be the same breed of annoying fools, and succeed in merely giving the impression they're trying too hard

Great topic!

A lot of mine are driving related:

People who don't bother to park correctly and end up taking up two parking spaces.

People who tailgate you when you're trying to back in to a parking space.

Pedestrians who saunter across the road just presuming that you'll slow down so as not to kill them.

Drivers that don't thank you if you let them out in a traffic jam.


Oh, and in relation to the poster who complained about checkout people scanning through the next person's shopping while you're still packing, that's a definite one for me too. Or if they don't start scanning they just watch as you pack. Nowadays I finish my packing before I hand over the money and if they can't even be bothered to help I take my time over it too.



There's loads more that pi$$ me off, but that's all I can think of for now.

There's plenty more driving and other stuff that annoy me, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

Yes indeed. All very anger-inducing. Those "sauntering" assholes seem to be particularly common in Cork (the compo capital of Ireland apparently). As for the drivers who don't acknowledge when you've let them out at a junction or whatever, they're usually women. Another thing that irritates me about my gender.
Another infuriating one: When you're trying to reverse into a space and some twat walks into that very space and might even stop and just stand there. Why pick the space that someone's trying to reverse into, asshole? There are plenty of areas around that space with stationary cars, but no. It has to be the one someone's trying to reverse into. Grrr!

Sofaspud

Hrm, my biggest ones would be:

People who take everything too seriously, I.E. get easily offended, and are just generally overly hormonal.

And people with no common sense. If I explain something to them, they shouldn't ask me the same question five seconds later. If i say no, I mean no. Stop annoying me!

Oh, also, people who can't form their own opinions, so adopt the opinions of whatever seems popular(which is most people in the country), and people who don't realise that opinions are opinions, so try to force them onto people.

Just got a new one! Went to the Mater Hospital A&E to get an X-ray of my shin (just realised a piece of bone broke off 4 weeks after hurting it...). Anyway, got there at 19:30. At 2:30 (7 hours later) I asked the security guard how many people were ahead of me and he said: "Loads. Go home and come back at 9:00, you'll still be in the queue...". I just want to burn the place down now... :mad:

What really gets on my tits is the people that approach or single you out as you walk along the street collecting for charities in the street.If i want to give money il approach YOU ,Yes i see you with you big fvcking illuminous jacket and your clipboard,in fact,i could hear you from a hundred yards away pestering people for their time.
A couple of times lately i have replyed in a nice manner,"look if i want to give money il approach you,thank you",to which i get a look as if i just skinned a kitten.
