Pet Hates

Hank_Jones

I've come to notice that certain things really bother me, such as...

People not washing their hands after using the toilet - seriously wtf is this about? it's just basic common sense.

How expensive things are: It's not as if companies couldn't still turn a profit if they made things cheaper, it's almost as if the public is treated like marks which are exploited due to how stupid we are....

People who don't give 100 percent when doing things - I really don't understand how people can do things yet not show proper determination, worst thing is if you are part of a team and working with clowns....

Anybody else have things that really irritate them?

I love venting.

Repeat threads, people missing whole forums dedicated to the berating of everything

Wow, what a terrific audience.
So apparently it's been exactly two years since the fall of Baghdad.
Have you seen this? Have you heard about this?

Poor customer service, actually I'll give a few points on this:

When you call customer service and nobody answers for a half an hour.

When someone does answer, it's some dude in Asia with a basic grasp of the English language.

When it quickly comes to light that you know far, far more about the thing in question than the guy on the other end of the line.



People who drive without their headlights on in bad weather, or at dawn/dusk.

Beggars at Luas stops who are ****ing persistent.

And green or yellow coloured sweets.

People who say "ohhh this thread has been done millions of times" and then the thread ends up with over 60 replies.

Some adverts on TV, eg. the Vodafone ad, Meteor ad and the Up Your Viva ad there a while ago.

I don't generally wash my hands in any kind of public toilet or toilet in a public facility.

Assuming I'm using a urinal, I have always assumed that the taps and probably the door handles themselves, are more dangerous than my penis.

if you look up you will see signs hanging from the ceiling.
the one that says baking will bring you to the aisle with baking goods,
the one that says toiletries will bring you to the toiletries aisle.
this trend continues throughout the store for all manner of goods

BluesBerry

When people chew with their mouth open and you hear that horrible smacking sound
And when people burp near me and you can smell what they have eaten
and people picking their nose and wiping it under tables/chairs any flat surface
People saying definitely defo crimbo and other shortened down words to look cool

and drivers not knowing who has the right of way on crossroads

thats a damn good point especially if I have just pissed in the said sink:p

FlutterinBantam

Women farting!!!

It's gone beyond a fcuking joke .

I was in the queue to pay in Harvey Nicks Dundrum TC last week, this 40 something with a tight power suit in front of me.Was admiring her buns tbh

Just before we reach the sales assistant she bends the right leg and unloads a rasper:eek:

Fcukin meaty chunks or what:eek: No change of expression or apology, just carried on and paid.

WTF!! Good mind to ask her where she got the pepper sauce!!


Euuuuwwww.

CrazyRabbit

Supermarkets only stocking the cheapest crappiest goods and not catering to people who don't mind spending a little extra for the nicer foods.

Dunnes used to cater to those who cared about their taste buds, but now they are no different to Tesco's. Just a different name on the shop front.

UpCork

Dis-organised people. Does my head in. I don't mind if they are dis-organised in their own life. However, when their dis-organisation impinges upon my life, it drives me nuts.

Unfortunately I have to encounter on a daily basis, several people who 'fly by the seat of their pants', as my Mother puts its and it is very annoying, when it then impacts about your deadline....

Little Acorn

.People who feel the need to speak loudly over everybody else,just so they can be the center of attention.

.When people do them spits,where they snort up all their snot and hack phlegm up from their chest,until it's a disgusting snot/phlegm mixture in their throat, which they then spit.
My stomach flips like I'm about to be sick,when I see this.:(

bealbocht

Ye old Chinese proverb " no matter how many times you shake your peg, the last drop always go's down your leg"

I wish that was a lot less true than it is..

also .. sorry ladies (and every other human being on the plant) if you are farting all day and they are not really anything noticible.. but .. then you let one go and its a hummer. oh ..mmm er.. oh.. fcuk. bugger .. sorry about that,
but, saying "they were not smelly earlyier" does not really work, does it.

Haha thats brilliant! I never heard anyone crack one off and then say, "Well I'm at it all day, but they weren't smelly earlier":D:D:D:D

Pure Genius;)

Papillon!

people who chew with mouth open/ speak while eating
people who shamelessly pick their nose in public...even worse when they nibble on what they find up there!
people who flick their nail dirt on you
people who know theyre attractive and think it makes them superior
scraping cutlery
people who skip queues
when you hold open a door for someone and they dont say thanks...unappreciative people in general

The door one really gets to me, it's not as if it's a major thing to say the words ''thank you'', it's just extremely bad manners....

I hate people with bad manners...

Exactly, and lately I have found that old people do this SO much. Then say that teenagers have no manners. Drives me nuts :mad:

If you must know I just prefer to post here, I find the responses more interesting and usually far more light hearted (there's alway exceptions of course...)

IvySlayer

Red Sauce.

It's called ketchup you ****tards! **** off with your descriptions! I am not called White Man, I have a name!

Polar Girl

people who don't say thanks, people at work who don't say hello when you pass them even though you have acknowledged them. People at work who take their bad day out on you just because they can. No matter how much pressure someone is under there is no excuse to treat people like crap. It's when you see a person under pressure who still maintains basic manners you realise that they are the ones with dignity.

Ticktactoe

People who try and debate a topic with you but have absolutely no idea what they are trying to debate about - and they think they are right!

Chewing with mouth open and loudly...

Two faced people who smile to your face but b1tch behind your back..

/decides to end it there..

Wazdakka

People who can't use roundabouts properly.
It's just so fcuking annoying.

It's not that bloody hard to do people... Fcuking indicate!

And People who seem to take there car out for a walk on Sundays.
Congratulations... It's all very impressive that you are out for a days ramble around, and that the view is lovely and all...
But ffs.. Just because it's a Sunday doesn't mean that you can drive down the road at 10 miles an hour.. Some of us still have to be places :mad:

Also...
Cancer.

General Zod

Celebrity death fawning.

the_syco

Paddy tax. The added 10% cos they know we'll pay for it.

One thing that really gets me is ppl taking ages to reply to txts if yer talkin bout somethin important....if your busy grand jus say so.....

completely agree about not washing your hands. that's just filthy.

the public are indeed treated like marks. whatever the traffic will bear is the rule, and it works very well.

one of my many pet hates is grown women who talk with little girl voices. absolutely does my head in.

Azureus

Pet hate is rude customer service staff. I work front line, if Im having a bad day I still plaster on a smile and do 110% for people. If your having a day bad enough to grunt at me, you should have stayed at home.

Also, staff anywhere who dont speak English. Sorry if its not PC, but if I went to France to work I wouldnt expect to get a job if I didnt speak fairly decent French. Same should go here (im just angry cuz I got the wrong wrap in OBriens today because she couldnt grasp a word of what I was saying despite practically writing it down for her )
