    Crumbs or other things left in the butter (jam, marmalade, ketchup etc) after people don't clean the knife first.

    Wet spoons being put into the sugar bowl.

    Teabags being left in the sink. Put them in the frickin bin.

    The word "fail". The use of "fook" for the alternative curse word.

    When people have the volume on an uneven number. Except for a multiple of 5- I'm ok with 5.

    Text speak: "Can ny hlp me, ive decided on dis and want 2 no if its ny gud".

    People asking non drinkers would they not have one or why they aren't drinking.

    The phrase "Having the craic".

    People who glare at you if you don't stand for the national anthem with all the drunken "patriots" at the end of a night (had this unfortunate experiance recently, pain in the hole).

    +1

    loud eaters
    tea slurpers
    those who hammer their keyboard at work
    people in queues at shops who seem suprised that upon being told how much they have to pay start digging about in their handbag for their purse...
    ATM retards - seriously, put your card in, withdraw cash, walk away- its not that hard.
    Sunglass wearers when it is clearly not sunny or they are indoors.


  • Registered Users Posts: 912 ✭✭✭chakotha


    People using "there" instead of "they're" or "their".
    Wet cutlery.
    Someone approaching on the footpath who veers onto my side.
    Saving a document as a backup then proceeding to work away on that.

    Having to pay 40c in college for a cup for my tea ... and then having to pay 25c for milk! I normally bring my own tea bag and flask in.

    The word nout.

    People expecting to split the bill at the end of the meal. It’s usually the ones who’ve ordered the most expensive thing on the menu and drinks when I’ve chosen the cheaper option.

    Being expected to contribute to the ‘tea fund’ when I never drink tea.

    People looking at me like a freak for not drinking tea.

    Children running and kicking at pigeons and the parents just laugh :mad:

    I know it’s been said, but people who litter!! Especially those who think cigarette butts aren’t litter :mad: And cups of coffee and bottles of coke left rolling around on the bus.

    I'm not particularly proud to be Irish, given how we've run our State since independance, plus the lyrics are entirely unsuitable for a so-called neutral country, so I don't care. I was tired and to be honest the drunken muppets swaying and mumbling along to the words wouldn't fire up anyone's patriotism.

    People who sail through a door you hold open for them, and don't thank you.

    People who make disapproving noises whenever they hear a child make any noise whatsoever (no, I've no kids).

    People who think they have the right of way, no matter what the traffic, signage, or common sense, tells them.

    Drivers who go to dangerous lengths to overtake you, putting other road users at risk, just so they can occupy the space in front of you instead of the space behind you.

    Men who are so drunk they can barely speak or see straight, getting offended because you're not bowled over by them.

    Books with exciting covers and blurb, failing miserably to live up to the promise (I know I shouldn't judge it by its cover, but I'm very impressionable).

    Inconsiderate smokers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 593 ✭✭✭AnamGlas


    Compulsive picture takers - having a camera doesn't make you a photographer...

    People who rush away when their phone rings, then scream into the phone.

    People who put butter on toast, and then wipe the excess butter back into the tub, THUS LEAVING TOASTY CRUMBS ALL OVER THE BUTTER!

    In fact, any excess butter being wiped back into the tub really f*cking annoys me.
