    Would like to hear some peoples views on this one.

    Heres mine:

    -People using credit cards to buy 1 or 2 items in the newsagent
    -A picture of bloody Jordan on the front of every OK or Hello Magazine. Seriously, the woman lives on the covers of these.
    -Queues, mainly in traffic, in shopping & at bank queues with people putting in their cards into the wall more than once.
    -Slow drivers on twisty back roads doing 30mph in a 50mph zone for no reason with a train of cars including me behind them.
    - When your phone rings in your jeans pocket while driving.
    - Irelands weather system with its "scattered showers". 1 minute its dry, then it rains, then stops, brilliant. Then it rains again.
    -Rap videos the bling by the ton load - jewellery, muscles, cars, hot women etc. Boring.

    May I address your points sir?

    -People using credit cards to buy 1 or 2 items in the newsagent
    sometimes the ATM queue is ****ing massive!
    -A picture of bloody Jordan on the front of every OK or Hello Magazine. Seriously, the woman lives on the covers of these.
    someone should send her to mars
    -Queues, mainly in traffic, in shopping & at bank queues with people putting in their cards into the wall more than once.
    grr... use online banking and know how much money you have before you go looking for it!
    -Slow drivers on twisty back roads doing 30mph in a 50mph zone for no reason with a train of cars including me behind them.
    50mph is not a target! it should be the minimum permissable speed however ;)
    - When your phone rings in your jeans pocket while driving.
    just answer it and shout madly "one second, one second" for about 5 mins until the person gives in and hangs up
    - Irelands weather system with its "scattered showers". 1 minute its dry, then it rains, then stops, brilliant. Then it rains again.
    this is fantastic. european heatwaves suck. dont mock this.
    -Rap videos the bling by the ton load - jewellery, muscles, cars, hot women etc. Boring.
    yes. . hot women .. boring .. just pack them all into my house will you and ill sort the problem out!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,251 ✭✭✭Andrewf20


    I probably should have said nothing about the hot women.

    The problem I have with the phone is that its a nightmare getting it out of the pocket while sitting in the driving seat with a belt across the lap and the driving to do. The sensible thing to do of course, would be to leave it on the dash, but I never seem to remember to do this, so i usually just let it ring out.

    I guess your kinda right in a way about the weather. Ive been in an Arizona heat wave. Hell.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,080 ✭✭✭✭Random


    That's right. You knocked and complained about all those hot women. it's the hot Arizona countryside for you sir! :P

    pretty neat

    They sell them in Dunnes in Blanchardstown. They don't work if your phone doesn't have a flat back though.. that ruled out my k800i :(

    Of course, he has to remember to put the phone on it. Maybe you'd like to try some pirate memory games? :D

    Ill probably just get and A4 page ripped out and sellotape it to the dash with the words "Place phone here when driving" and an arrow pointing with a big blotting pen. Easy.

    It seems to me that you are a very impatient person who should read up on the rules of the road.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,251 ✭✭✭Andrewf20


    Im fine with the rules of the road, but I do agree that I get very frustrated in traffic delays but the delays are so bad in Dublin that its something I cant help.

    -Rap music

    My boyfriend does it. When he's on holidays from work he'd rather lie in bed all day than say...go on holiday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,757 ✭✭✭Deliverance XXV


    I was in The Canaries last week with another lad and he was the same.
    Every morning I was up a couple hours before him! Even on holidays!
    Why?! :mad:

    People who stay in bed until two or three in the day.
    Well that was me yesterday, a week of having no choice, but working late to get stuff finished, will generally do that to ya!!

    Some stuff that pisses me off:
    1. People using credit/laser cards in a petrol station, and there's a queue
    2. People using self service checkout in Tescos, with way over 10 items.
    3. People taking full blown private calls in work, and not going away from the desk to take them, and they speak too loud.
    4. Motorists who don't know what an indicator is.
    5. Same as above with in regards to: roundabouts, parallel parking, going too damn slow for my liking.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 799 ✭✭✭Schlemm


    Staying in bed until the mid afternoon is annoying if done on a regular basis or after a night on the sup...but it's excusable as an extremely rare treat if you're genuinely knackered and actually sleep until 2 or 3, rather than just loafing.

    I hate crappy radio stations, boring offices, insurance companies, banks, ads, liars, bad drivers, drones, idiots, mould on bread, burnt food, and Dublin.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,708 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    A door constantly knocking off the door frame in a draught.

    Housemates not opening the window and closing the door after having a shower or taking a smelly dump.

    People working behind a deli counter who have no idea how to make a roll, and give you a mass of food balancing on a piece of bread, and carefully wrapping it before handing it to you. How do they expect you to eat these things?

    Groups of people standing talking in the doorway to a shop (im looking at you, gangs of foreign students) and not moving despite people constantly asking them to get out of the way.

    Badly placed roadworks signs that make the road even more dangerous.

    Obese women who wear skimpy clothes. Don't listen to Mika; Unbeknown to you, he's causing you to publicly humiliate yourself.

    Boy racers with the horrible sounding exhaust, blaring out pounding, repetitive dance (almost rave) music, complete with helium vocals.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,429 ✭✭✭✭star-pants


    Have to agree with-

    motorists who appear to have forgotten where their indicator is... perhaps they like the mystery of us 'guessing' where they are going

    people who don't know how to make a wrap/sandwich etc..
    No I don't like having a SQUARE of wrap with a wadge of filling that just might kill someone if I hit them with it

    adding-

    people who hate self service checkouts but insist on going to them and constantly complain when it won't work

    people who drive up your backside in traffic / beep at you for letting someone turn (when clearly it's not actually holding anyone up because the traffic in front is stopped anyway!)

    people who CRAWL down a busy path in town and then decided suddenly to stop right in front of you to ponder the rest of their day...

    I'm sure there's more...

    My biggest pet hate - getting a Coke with a f*cking slicce of lemon in it. I don't particularly like lemons, and it does nothing to improve the Coke but every barman in the country does it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,247 ✭✭✭ROCKMAN


    WOW 2 HOURS 17 MINS

    that is 2 hours 15 mins longer than I though..:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,220 ✭✭✭jos28


    My pet hates;
    1.People who park in wheelchair spaces without a permit. Drives me mental. (Wheelchair users cannot get out of their cars if they park in an ordinary space, they are too narrow.)
    2.Drivers who don't say thanks when you let them out. Ignorant b*****ds
    3.Parents who insist on having 'out loud' conversations with their kids in the supermarket. You know the type....Dad is usually wearing hemp shorts(circa 1975) complete with sandals and brown socks. And can be heard saying things like 'Fiachra, you cannot have anything else, you already had a rice cake.

    When the person in front of you in Tesco is doing their weekly shop and you're only getting one thing and they don't let you ahead.

    Skangers listening to their ringtones and "music" on buses.

    Skangers in general.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,658 ✭✭✭✭Peyton Manning


    -Heavy metal music, just a bunch of long haired tossers screaming their heads off
    -Goths and Emos

    -Beyonce
    -The pundits on RTE sport

    I hate,

    1. Kerry Katona.

    3. Spar and Centra shops, because I only speak English :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17 nightfox


    Women who get on the bus and spend 5 minutes counting their fares while the bus driver is parked waiting for them to pay.
    Stupid f**kers who while walking in town (grafton street etc..) decide to stop in front of you without any notice... these people need to be pushed on their faces.
    Rich kids.
    Every version of MS Windows.
    Junkies falling around St. Stephens Green (and town in general) when you are trying to enjoy a nice day.
    All forms of "Pop" music.
    Prison Break.
    Londis shops.
    Traffic.
    Prepubescent skater wannabe rock punks who congregate at the central bank throwing their hormones around.

    more to follow...

    LOL! When I first saw your thread title a water swimming constrictor snake popped into my mind. Anaconda? I swim at night doing a lot of laps and this joker scared the heck out of me when he brought his snake and slipped him in the pool. You never saw anyone move so fast as me exiting the pool! So if I had a "pet" hate, it would be that snake!
