    Threads about pet peeves. And the term "pet peeves". And paradoxes. They suck. BOOM.

    People who say that they're totally screwed for an exam yet have spent 12 hours a day in the library weeks before said exam and end up doing brilliant! Lets flush these people down the toilet!

    people who throw smokes out the window of a car, you're already smelling of smoke, keeping the butts in the car won't make any difference. Gah!

    My ****ing colleague with the most ANNOYING LAUGH EVER....who decides to use said annoying laugh during, and at the end of, every sentence, no matter what he's saying. It's only a matter of time before I staple him to death, then punch him in the face while shouting at him to shut the **** up. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 885 ✭✭✭Roadend


    People who hate people who like Obama despite knowing nothing about him. He said everything's going to change, everything!

    People who think they're experts in a certain field but actually know nothing, and won't shut up giving (wrong) advice to others.....

    To many to mention, but i'll try!

    In no particular order:

    Litterbugs

    The Insure.ie ad on radio (damn that jingle sticks in the head)

    My work colleague who chews so loudly, I can hear him from 20ft away (he is also a 'nose breather' - I can hear that from 20ft away too)

    All the furore about Roy Keane - he is just a manager people (and an average one at that)

    Drivers who slow down and stop at a roundabout WHEN IT IS CLEAR THERE IS NOTHING COMING!

    Checkout staff slamming your change on the counter rather than put it in your hand.

    Txt speak, especially when the person is more than 18.

    Typing teh, instead of the... how many times do I have to edit a post!

    God, I am an angry person...

    people who push the green man button constantly thinking that the more they push it the quicker it will change, and get irritated when it dosn't go green straight away.. those people really annoy me.

    people who correct other peoples grammer / spelling either written or spoken.

    the long ass waffle about crap nobody cares about when you ring insurance companies, about financial regulators etc.

    people who phone me and then put me on hold, dont get it.

    Those sh1te headphones that come with iPods. Why do I have to listen to what someone sitting 4 seats away from me on the Train/Bus is listening to? And for some reason its always some scobie who just loves music with 2 Million drum beats per second.

    I was just thinking about this. Now that there is a smoking ban do you think that soon there will be a division for people who have recently smoked and those who haven't in restuarants and other public places? They really stink. It's inevitable! ...probably not!

    This is what your scarf is for. Douse it in perfume/aftershave before you go out, and then sick your face in it if a smelly person gets on near you :)

    My sh1thead housemates who use more than their share of the Boradband bandwidth so we end up with throttled connection 3 weeks of the month.
