Things that really bug the sh*t out of me.

    1. People who put L plates on arseways.

    Keep well clear of these imbeciles! I would recommend at least 200 yards. If these people are too stupid to perform correctly this most elementary of tasks, they are surely a danger to all other road users.

    2. People who refer to simple coincidences as Ironic.

    Let's say Gerry Ryan is on the radio talking about monkeys that eat their own faeces, and you were 'only just talking about that', in a drunken pub conversation the night before, well, that my friend is not Ironic, it's just a simple coincidence.

    3. Bible belt Christians.


    These people truly are the most despicable, hypocritical, small minded bunch of people on this planet. If you don't eat, sleep and sh1t like them, you are going to burn for all eternity in hell. Yes, that's right, their all powerfull, all LOVING god is going to burn you, and 4.4 billion others in a big fire beneath the earth! I wonder how many of these 'moral' clean living people would classify Hitler as an evil man. :rolleyes:

    4. Daft Dave

    A message to Right Price Tiles management: Because of that annoying bastard, I would rather walk naked from Turkey to Dublin with travertine on my back than cross the threshold of one of your stores.

    5. TV licence ads.

    RTE keep warning us that one of these days, the wolf will knock on the door, catch you without your licence, and your family and friends will disown you with the shame of it all. They bombard us with scare mongering ads to make us believe the Gestapo are patrolling the country ready to haul in the non compliant
    BULLSH1T. There is more chance of you getting hit by a runaway speed boat while sunbathing on the beach, than there is of a TV licence inspector arriving at your door. And, even if he did, I think I could just about survive the 'shame' of it all. My advice: don't get one in the first place, then they won't hound you with letters to renew.

    6. Skanger city centre young wans that wear pygamas outdoors.

    WTF is this all about? Girls, this is not a trendy fashion statement, nor is it an outward expression of your desire to stick two fingers up at the rest of society. It's simply ridiculous, and it makes you look like you just wandered out of a mental institution.

    7. D4 girls.

    These fake, shallow annoying people really bug me. Why do they speak as if they've just walked off the set of Dawson's creek?
    YOU ARE IRISH!! Stop speaking with an American accent. Oh my God, it's like, sooo annoying.

    8. Rubbernecking.


    It's a really pleasant experience when you're sitting in an hour of traffic on the M50, only to discover the cause of said traffic is an accident on the OTHER side of the motorway. People, unless a member of your immediate family is involved, don't fcuk my day up, keep your foot to the floor.

    9. Calgon tablets.


    "Washing machines live longer with Calgon"
    The fact that this company has a market shows how some people in this country are devoid of simple common sense.
    A good washing machine will cost you about €300, and will easily last five years without the help of Calgon.
    They say, use one tablet in every wash and your machine will last longer.
    Maybe so, but each tablet costs .30c, meaning if you had five washes a week, in five years you would have spent €390, JUST ON CALGON TABLETS!
    Is this not blindingly obvious?

    10. VIPs

    Why should someone be considered a 'very important' person just because they followed a certain career path or were born into a certain family?
    I mean, if my mother had the choice of pushing me or Bono in front of a train, I can guarantee it would be me visiting her in prison.
    So, how come I can't get beyond those red ropes?


    End of rant.

    LOL, no I'm quite a happy person. Surely we all have 10 things that really bug us. There wouldn't be enough time in the day to list all the things I love.

    I'm quite annoying, I am.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 51 ✭✭irishguy00


    That was quite possibly one of the funniest things i've read all day. Also, i agree with every one of those annoyances. The strange thing is that i never knew they bothered me until now when i see them written down.

    Keep arguing my friend. Its a joy to read.

    There are areas where the water supply has alot of calicum or lime. This causes a huge problem for machinary like washing machines and diswashers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 875 ✭✭✭Caco


    Top notch rant!
    Now wouldn't it be ironic if a TV License inspector were to call to your door tomorrow?!

    I live in one of these areas, and have never had an element in a washing machine go. (lots of other stuff but never lime related:p )

    @lazare

    Excellent rant, I fully agree with you. Esp the tv licence one, biggest mistake of my life, buying the first one.

    It bugs me when people grind their teeth.

    And when people can't spell pajamas.

    And when people think that one person's mistake makes them an idiot.*

    And when people moan in list form.

    And when people start sentences with And.


    *The L plate looked right from where I was sitting

    Damn mirrors.

    Seriously though, putting an L plate on, it's pretty easy.

    I like the intended irony in your post, therefore you obviously are not an idiot.

    The tv license 1 is so true lol. They make it out like you will bring great shame on your family by not paying it, people will look at stare at you on the street and say "ooh look its that guy, who didnt pay his tv license". That when he knocks, your kids will stop playing outside and it'll suddenly get very cloudy and dark. ? And its a serious crime. I mean if the inspectors were actually patrolling, what would be the need for these ads? Do they actually work on anyone? Surely they'd make more money by bringing ppl who dont pay it to court and fining them. Also how do you become a tv inspector? Is there just 1 in the country or a crack team of them? Is that guy from the ad really a tv inspector or just some actor? Rant over.
