What annoys you the most?

    I dunno if I'm just getting older (20 next month :P) and stuff is annoying me more and more these days, but I thought I'd share a few of my annoyances with ya'll.

    Firstly, Jessie J.
    "Wanna make the world dance,
    Forget about the Price Tag."
    Is that legal permission to download your music for free, ye? ms.goody goody?

    Secondly, adverts for yogurts that make women sh!t easier.
    Bifidus noonegivesash!tikus.

    Thirdly, when a crisp packet says "now 30% lower in salt/fat".
    Then you open it, and there is only 70% percent crisps in the packet.

    The HSBC add where they go on about how that guy uses his bird to catch fish for him and about how great their relationship is.
    Seen a documentary, the bird has a wire tied around it's neck so it can't swallow the fish. That's the sort of relationship, I really want with a bank or whatever it is.

    Taxi men. Im a learner driver and I like being an anal virgin. Stop always being from up my arse.

    When you cant open a packet of ham and you have to do it with your teeth, when it eventually opens, the stink nearly knocks you out. This also goes for them individual beans portions now.

    The moany reccesion buzz. Yawn......

    Finally, I'm not a gamer, not even close, but when your watching telly and an add comes on for a game. At the bottom of the screen, it says "Not Actual Game Footage". *Sigh*

    Before I end up writing a novel, I'll leave it there, but I'd love to hear what wrecks everyone else's head :D.

    Queue jumpers. The lowest of the low!
    Also, people that say:
    "opens popcorn"
    I really wish they get a series of anal rapings as a way of saying sorry.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    Bad drivers.
    Yesterday alone, was undertaken by an idiot who thought the bus lane was for passing out a line of cars who were already doing the max speed limit, and FFS will they please organise some lessons for a lot of people in Galway as how to use a bloody roundabout.

    Yeah those bits are clearly pre-rendered cut scenes anyway, they point it out for the one or two idiots who don't get it and will complain about it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 444 ✭✭schween


    For many people growing older is letting silly things in life annoy you.

    Maturing and becoming wiser is realising that life is too short to waste it being annoyed by silly things.

    Unfortunately you see many people stuck in the first all their lives.
    Stop being so easily annoyed and enjoy life people!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 509 ✭✭✭PyeContinental

    Can't imagine how anyone doesn't understand how anyone doesn't find this annoying. This reveals more about you, in fact, than it reveals about the OP (specifically in the area of psycho-sexual disorders, and in particular relating to a proclivity to auto-erotic asphyxiation).

    OP, good list of minor annoyances - and nothing better than to rant about those sorts of things.

    Very interesting about the bird with the wire around its neck. It annoyed me however, because you wrote "add" meaning addition, where you should have written "ad", being short for advertisement. The fact that seemingly somewhere around half of the people on here not only wouldn't know the difference but would also consider it not worth bothering about irritates me indescribably.

    Because not understanding things always leads back to auto-erotic asphyxiation...?

    No, but possibly in your case.

    That'll be 60 euro please. Just pay on the way out.

    hehe.. the fart smell out of ham is jarring, alright.


    and why do they all say they're resealable when I have never gotten a ham packet to reseal in my life :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,432 ✭✭✭df1985


    Said it before and I'll say it again, people who don't indicate, not just inconsiderate but potentially dangerous especially when going around roundabouts.

    Its a flick of your finger people seriously!


  • Posts: 3,505 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Buzz words. Especially stuff that middle aged women hear on Oprah and start talking about to everybody. And "natural". It's good for you because its natural? How does that work? Faeces is natural but that doesn't mean it's healthy to eat it!

    People who put apostrophes in plurals.

    More annoying still, pedestrians who walk out in front of cars in city centres without so much as a glance at traffic, lights, etc. Get killed if you want, just don't involve me.

    On (my) black background the "n" isnt visible in your post.
    So it reads more or less like your ts friends dont have your back.....
    I suppose you know where ts stands for, amongst others..

    In fairness, the "not actual game footage" is a legal requirement, largely due, I believe, to an ad for a Harry Potter game with footage that looked like it could have been from a video game, and was vastly superior to how the actual game looked (ps1 era, I think), leading to many disappointed kiddywinks with a game that looked and played crap. I think it's fair enough to have the disclaimer on ads, as these days the average standard of graphics isn't a big leap from the pre-rendered footage they use on the ads.

    Also, just don't eat ham!

    Sorry I think I got my point across for that one. I don't mean the little writing is annoying, I just wished they showed actual gameplay in the first place. :D

    As for not eating ham, I dont really even like it. I just put everything into a sambo :P

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    Sorry, OP, you're right, and I agree with you, they shouldn't use non-game footage in the first place. Surely if the game's good enough it can speak for itself.
