pet peeves

The Bollox

alright out with it. what really gets your goat? what drives you up the wall?

for me it's people who demolish a packet of something, but leave one item left, just because either they didn't want the bother of binning the container, or to make it look like they didn't eat/use as much as they actually did. I know it sounds stupid but it really pisses me off.

so what about you?

Lola123

People who can't spell properly. It drives me insane. Like writing "Sit over their", or "I'm so bord" or "I've just graduated from "collage"
Seriously, you've just graduated from college and you can't even spell it!!

Anti

Body odor.

There is no need for it at 10am this day and age. The smell of some of the people on the luas disugsts me. And i have said it to them many times... Fair enough, someone in a manual intensive job should smell a bit at the end of the day, but someone who sits at a desk all day whouldnt.

One word.

ANTI PERSPIRANT !

Chunks

People who walk, in groups of 3 or more stretched the width of the path, slowly holding everyone up behind them. Usually students or Yanks.

People who stop suddenly in front of you while walking down the road.

Ignorant fúcks who barge onto the bus/dart/luas without having the common manners to let the people off first.

W@nkers who stand at the edge of the platform in Pearse waiting for the Commuter train despite the fact that 2 Darts are arriving before it, thus blocking people from getting on and off the Darts. I FCUKING HATE THAT! HOW IGNORANT CAN YOU BE?!

People who listen to their MP3 players at stupidly loud levels broadcasting clearly to everyone else.

People who can't drive and have no spacial awareness when in cars.

I have more but can't think right now, too angry after bringin all this up! :mad:

That one really gets me. I end up just ploughing throught them and just not even acknowleding them.

Also, Bloggers. I f*cking hate them. Nobody gives a f*ck about your life or your opinions. We exist in the same world as you, so you're telling us nothing new, only things you've recycled from you hours surfing teh interweb. You have no writing talent so give it up and p*ss off!

Duggy747

People stopping in front of you when walking down the street for no reason (Like their brain crashed and it's rebooting!!)

Groups of people who take up the path walking towards you and refuse to budge, forcing you to scrape yourself off the wall.

Fùckin' chatty women who 're yapping away, walking slower than a corpse and refuse to realise they've a crowd of traffic behind them! (Always happens in my college's short corridors)

Idiots who shouldn't be let near an ATM! Wànkers who take all day to pull out a tenner or a millenia to figure out they have no money but insist on standing there repeatly putting their card in & out of the machine. DOING THAT ISN'T GOING TO PUT MONEY IN YOUR FÙCKING ACCOUNT!!
A groups of girls in front of me actually said "I think I deleted my money!" Jesus Christ!!

Pregnant scumbags smoking and drinking themsleves silly really gets to me!

Can't think of anymore now but I know tons of stuff rattles my cage! That was good to get out though

People who while on public transport engage in irritating conversations especially if they have irritating voices. One time on the dart some woman was chatting to her friend about how she had got a new job. I have never heard one person say the words "well chuffed" so many fúckin' times in my life. Her friend eventually got off and then a minute later she got a phone call and decided to tell this person how she was "well chuffed" about her new job. Fúck me I nearly shoved that phone down her fúckin' throat. Luckily we got to my stop before I did :mad:

Schlemm

The noise of somebody chewing drives me mad
nyom nyom

Also when people ask to borrow or share things like your bottle of water or your makeup EUGH! I hate the idea of their slimy selves all over your stuff and you can't say no or they'll look at you like you've 2 heads! I also hate it when people ask to use your phone cos they've no credit and they're on it forever:mad:

frizzefreckles

Noisy eaters - there's nothing worse really off putting when you are trying to eat.

Stupid people in garages who park at the petrol pumps but do not use them and wander into the shop for half an hour AAARGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH

5uspect

When you give someone a lend of something (Book, DVD, game or whatever) and it comes back, usually six months later, looking like it was dragged through a a shreddrer. If I borrow someones stuff I make sure nothing happens to it. Fair enough something like a book will get creases in the spine but DVDs shouldn't scratch, corners should be bent of broken...

People who refuse to park properly. Parking spaces are at a premium where I live (and work) and there's always one some fool abandoning his car (one guy with a jeep in particular) across two spaces.

People who always thank god for the miracle operation they or their relative just had and forget to mention the hard work of the doctors and nurses.

Cigarette butts everywhere! FTW, put then in a bin.

This is fun.

Well, having worked in Tech support for a while now, there are a multitude of different things that people do that bug the bejaysus out of me, But by far and away the most annoying are people who insist that they haven't forgotten there user name and password. It's because "Our System" won't accept their correct details, and when you finally point out that they're wrong, they don't even have the common courtesy to apologize for being a rude cnut on the phone to the person trying to help them.

That and People who insist that they know about computers because they "Work in IT", and keep interrupting you when your trying to explain to them that their internet connection isn't working cause they have to turn on their computer first(Little bit of exaggeration there, but I've had some come pretty close).


Actually, People who won't admit they're even though they've been proven wrong. Get over yourselves!

That would be very near the top of my list too. Right behind taxi drivers who leave their 'for hire' light on when they have passengers. You're trying to wave them down because in the distance you can only see the light, and then they drive past giving you this look that says "can't you see I've got a fare, you moron!" Turn the f*cking light off then! :mad:

Agreed. Went into Stephen's green recently, wanted to sit on the grass, and there wasn't an ass sized area that was clear of cigarette butts.

People I don't know sitting beside me on the bus when there's tons of fully empty seats.

I had the perfect solution to that. Just tell them you reset their password back to what it was. Then give then 10 minutes to gather the courage to ring you back saying that they forgot what it was It always cheered me up when I did that.

Three things, bad spelling ("loose" instead of "lose" argh), Barry Scott and those Debtbuster ads.

Siogfinsceal

people who insist on driving right up your ass on a busy road even though there is so much traffic you cant possibly go any faster. muppets.

as mentioned by someone else smart asses that ring you in work and tell you that they are 'working in IT' or 'a consultant' and therefor know more than god and don't need to listen to advice - which does make me wonder why they called in the first place......

Extremely slow shop assistants- you know that feeling where you wish they would just let you do it yourself?!

ergonomics

I work in a bookies and I detest when people come up to the counter and just fling the bet at me. In return, I fling their change at them. I also hate when 6 or 7 people people all come up just on the off and get pissed off when they're too late to place the bet. Come up earlier!!!!!

I used to live with a guy who would talk more or less as loud as Barry Scott. Somehow I resisted the urge to murder him.

Macca07

When people drinking at a bar don't use beer mats even though there is hundreds of them in front of them. Same can be said when sitting at a table. Just really bugs me!

Or housemates playing music so loud ur whole estate can hear. Just because u like it doesn't mean we all wanna listen to it!

Or housemates who make noise til 5 in the morning when the rest of us have to get up for work in the morning!

U can see I live with a dope of a housemate!

Have to agree with taxi drivers who leave their light on. No need, pisses everyone off i think!

The shop on Westmoreland Street is a joke in the mornings. I swear to god, I went in there this morning to get a packet of popcorn. I was the only one in threre, and it took me five minutes to get the transaction completed.:mad:

GAH!

And shop assistants that serve people at the express checkout with a trolley load of stuff!!!!!!!!! (well , maybe not a trolley full, but you know what i mean.)

also, the fools that go up to the aformentioned counter with more than the guideline amount of items.

people who duble post :rolleyes:

and yes I put in the smugness, the emoticon and the spelling errors for effect.

also, annoying laughs on idiots in work who find the thing they're talking about hilarious even though it's an ordinary run of the mill comment, I thought I got away from nerds after college and school!. I want to kill them :mad: I need to kill them :mad:

football managers who fail to see the bigger picture of how you were trying to cover someone else ass when you could have been conceding a goal instead of a point, and you still get a bollocking. forwards who dont track back or tackle or run after a pass thats slightly non-perfect, sorry i had 3 players hanging out of me*

people who forward every one of those joke type emails, no matter how old/crap they are. ffs apply some sort of quality control!!

Duggy747

Morons who feel they have to quote Family Guy on every single thing that is said and insist on repeating cuz "Family Guy is brilliant!!" (I think it's shìt after the 3rd Season, just random gags for the sake of being random and throw in a celebrity to boot!)

Another thing that gets me goat is people coming up to me when I'm having a fag to myself and decide to calculate how much I spend a week on fags. Who are you, my fùckin' accountant? Fùck off, I don't even know you!!

JungleBunny

People who put their L-plates on back-to-front and upside-down. It's an L!Not half a T or something stupid like that. (Oh and get off the motorway)

People just skipping queues. And then pretending like they don't understand english when you confront them about it.

People in SUVs or other big cars, that think the own the entire road.

That Cilit Bang ad! "Hi I'm Barry Scott" and "Hi it's me again!" - For the love of God STOP!!!

Macca07 wrote:

I meant the type of people who incesently quote non-stop and repeat saying one quote aaaaaaallll day long. Eh, example:

"I'm heading to the shop, you want anything?"
"Gonna paint my wagon!" (Simpsons, I know)
"Eh, yea, ha ha. Anyway you coming out later?"
"Gonna paint my wagon!"
"I get it! Are you coming out tonight or not?"
"Gonna paint my wagon!"
"Fine, Piss off!"
"Gonna paint my wagon!"

watna

People who clap when the airplane lands..... GRRRRRR! I'm annoyed thinking about it!

People who spit randomly walking along. I used to get the bus every morning to work and would be waiting at the bus stop for about 5 minutes. This guy at the stop used to spit every 20 seconds...... when we'd get on the bus there's be pools of his saliva everywhere....... ugh going to get sick now!

amazingkate

People chewing with their mouth open. Ugh, it's manky!

And don't leave the door open when you come into a room. Come on people, were you born in a barn!?

"Bishops love Sci - fi!"

People who say labtop instead of laptop.

Also people who sit beside me on a bus when there are plenty of seats.

can't understand why ppl leave the door open when they walk into a room, it just doesn't make sense, happened with my housemate last nite, sitting down watching tv and came in, left door open, went out, left door open, came back in, left door open. i had to look at the door for him to get the idea, CLOSE THE GOD DAMN F*CKING DOOR! really bugs me

Macca07

or when ppl talk throughout a film or tv program! why the f*ck are u asking me, watch it and find out!

Or if someone has already seen a film and u haven't, and they tell u all the good pieces. what happened to me with The Departed, was told what happened at the end, ruined the film for me

Same thing happened to me with The Departed, friend was off his tits and was yapping away when he gave away the ending, sickening!

amazingkate

No, I might let her off the hook if she was blonde, but she's just dumb.

Say if there's a couple of us having a conversation she'll sit there twirling her hair and then out of the blue she'll point out that we have a dog or something stupid like that. Nothing interesting to say, ya know what I mean!?
