    When you're at a table in a café/canteen and someone sits down opposite and facing you when they take out their mobile phone and point it at you giving the impression you're being filmed?

    Not a lot annoys me tbh. Maybe this weather or having to do the hoovering. I'm a happy spa most of the time.

    People who suddenly stop in the middle of the street so you end up walking into them




    I believe they're referred to as meanderthals .

    It's often hard not to push them into oncoming traffic.


    Cauliflower Cheese.

    The fact that my entire family think i should intervene any time anything that runs on any sort of current acts up even slightly.

    People with no sense of irony.

    People who think 'hoping for the best' is a life strategy.

    Disorganised, selectively absent minded people who expect you to pick up their mess.
    (One of whom i'm related to).

    Having to remind people over and over again that they haven't paid you back yet.

    People who take offense when you refuse to lend them money because they haven't paid you back yet.

    People who never shut the f*ck up.

    People who are late for everything, but snap your nose off if you're five minutes late.

    The kids across the road who stand motionless at my gate when i'm reversing out of my drive.

    People who are obsessed with celebs of the opposite sex.
    They're products. Please try to understand.

    Women who say they fancy Simon Cowell?

    WTF?

    Movie reboots. Star Trek = Mailbu Stacy hat.




    ...and especially the fact that right now i can't think of all the other things that annoy me.

    Anybody who uses terms such as "lol, lmfao or omg".

    A fella said lol to me the other day and i hit him, not in the face but still.

    Hate lolcats and that retarded internet speak.

    Speak English no matter how retarded you speak the cat won't get any cuter!!

    Children.

    Women who claim to like "nice men" but always end up with the nutter who treats them like crap, then they complain about being treated like crap. Duh.

    Rain, wind, cold.

    Early mornings.

    People asking you to go places you don't want to.

    Having to do family stuff you don't want to.

    Bad hair days.

    People who are different in groups than when on their own with you.

    People who lie.

    People who can't take a joke.

    Two-faced people.

    So if someone was handing out free fivers, you wouldn't take one, but you'd think those who do are tools and idiots?

    It annoys me when you're telling someone how you feel, or trying to have a conversation to sort out something that's bothering you and they don't answer, or tell you to 'Calm down'. People who think ignoring a problem is fixing it, basically.

    Yea I know! The last time I found out I had contracted the ebola virus, on the same day as the bloody taliban kidnapped my favourite garden knome, while I spontaenously burst into flames, the person I was telling COMPLETELY ignored me, and then told me to "Calm down"! HOW INFURIATING:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::(:mad:

    2. Slow computers
    3. Slow Internet/network connections
    4. People who don't answer their mobile because they:
    a) turned the volume down 6 hours ago and forgotten to put it back up
    b) left in the car, handbag, office, etc

    5. People with lack of any interests
    6. People who pretend to be someone they are not, to listen, to be interested, etc.
    7. Slow people
    8. Whining dogs
    9. Skangers
    10. Drivers who drive, park and act like total idiots
    11. Snotty f*cks
    12. Girls who think they are gorgeous, when they are...yhm, not.
    13. All items that fail when I need them most
    14. Ignorant cnuts who put their dirty shoes on the seats in Dart, despite the "Seats are not for feet" stickers, designed specially for ignorant cnuts like them.

    People who stop and start texting in the middle of the street.

    Bad drivers.

    When my car doesn't start.

    Valentines day.


  • Registered Users Posts: 105 ✭✭to99


    * slow people at ATM machines- hurry up!!!

    * (Have literally seen this) people getting off at the bottom of an escalator and stop, looking around to see where they want to go and the poor people behind them end up in a heap on the floor.

    * lying customers.....oh the woes of retail. People look you dead in the eye, lie to you and dont think twice about the morality of it.

    * drivers who don't indicate.

    * people who walk 4 abreast on a pavement. Am i supposed to walk into the wall?

    * people who say ''O(h)'' as a number when it is in fact a letter :pac:

    People who say "sorry" and just try to plough through you. I dont move and just say "no you're not"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,681 ✭✭✭ColeTrain


    After having to wake up early, you know? There's NO coffee in the teacher's lounge, and then you walk into the bathroom to just find a big dook laying there in the urinal! Like it's laughing at you!

    I stay on my side and tense up my shoulder, if people aren't going to show some decency and give others space to walk on the pavement I'm not going to move an inch!:pac: Also when people stand talking in the middle of a path I make sure I walk right through the middle of everyone instead of going around!

    And you sound sarcastic! First of all, the "sorry" reeeeeeeeeeeally pisses me off. They're not one bit sorry:mad: Did their dog just die? Why would they be "sorry" for anything! We have fair city to blame for the popularisation of that abuse of the word. And then to just bull through you, making full bodily contact, dragging their bag or briefcase along your thighs as they force their way by you, and they think its alright cos they firstly said "sorry"? Ignorance:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    People who say we're all to blame for the economic bubble bursting - and "we" voted Fianna Fáil in... no we didn't. Ireland has more than one political party.

    mods closing a thread about the gulf stream and thinking its about the budget wtf :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm


    Minor one here but my annoyance is DVD/Blurays that don't come in those standard plastic boxes. By this I'm talking about the ones that come in fancy cardboard boxes with slipcases and foldable toolbelt style disk-holders (invariably these are the type of case you get with a season of a tv show or perhaps a movie collection set) to 'special it up' etc.

    Anyway I bloody hate them. I order all my Blurays online and more than half the time I get a non-plastic style ones I have to send the thing back for replacement because something is wrong with the box (eg disk holder teeth crushed, sleeved crushed or nicked, plastic not properly glued to cardboard etc etc. The list is endless). They're too fragile for transport or even to be useful generally.

    The irony of the whole thing is that I understand that the die-hard collecters of DVD/Blurays actually PREFER these sort of carboard boxes and all but cream themselves when they hear their favourite movies are going to be released in these special cases! I dread them because I know a trip to the postman is just around the corner when I get a broken one. Just this week the Back to the Future Blurays arrived at my house and I was looking forward to sitting down and watch them until I saw the box had been crushed. I was crushed! :(

    I wish everything just came in the typical plastic box. Would it be so hard? They even look nicer on a shelf when they're all the same size etc. I just don't see the point of em. :( Minor I know, but annoying.
