I don't know if this is just a Sky News thing, but it frequently makes me want to smash my tv...when the presenters pronounce 'sixth' as 'sikth'.
I can actually feel my blood pressure beginning to boil from just thinking about it!


Also, when people in my office ignore a ringing phone. Seriously, how hard is it to pick up the phone and say the person isn't there and take a message?


Or in a taxi...my fare home from town would usually be between €9 and €11. If it's between €9 & €10, I'll always let them have the change. So surely, if it's marginally over €10, they should just take the €10?
I've had many drivers stop and go 'that's €10.10 please'.

Hypocrites, snobbery and bad manners.
Stinginess. Has to be the most unattractive thing in anyone.

I fail to see what he did wrong.

They keep short changing me. One went so far as to hand me my change and say 'close enough', I obviously presumed he was charging me a small bit less, not deciding to take more than the fare and tell me it was 'close enough'.

Something that is really annoying me at the moment is womens lunch habits in work. Whether its getting a pizza with a DIET Coke, or bringing in a load of leaves in a lunchbox, women seem to think lunch is a chance to make a statement of sorts. "Look at me, I'm having a salad. Come the weekend I'll be out on the piss and downing a kebab, but I have a salad. Would you like some salad? Are you sure?"

Fozzydog3

The Loose/lose fiasco of the early 21st century.

people who use "ha" as a full stop. i.e gown ou wih deh lads teni ha gettin recked ha

text speak , bonus points if its spelled wrong on purpose but contains as many letters as it would have

That Irish mentality of "You're trying something new ? ya wierdo ."

facebook invites to your crap club that you rep , and by rep i mean they give you a discount on drinks so you can stand outside and you most likely lose money doing it because the club owners are shafting you .

People who's personality is based on the flavour of the week , their conversations are normally about that new song ,show or gadget.

Twitter , A site made for narcissistic shytebags

those alias' edgy art students take , usually their middle names

Anything Irish, pro tip: Its usually substandard

orange peel left on tables , i cant explain it but it drives me mental

Yes, obviously it will. I have been short changed about 3/5 times I have gotten a taxi and I am naturally ****ing sick of it.

The King of Moo

People who complain excessively about the weather, particularly those who pre-emptively complain about the possibility of it snowing during the coldest part of the winter.

Living in Ireland, how do you not expect bad weather, and what is complaining about it non-stop going to achieve?

You are so in the wrong here. And you're calling him stingy when having to hand over the 40 cent YOU OWED HIM 'wrecked your nite'?!

- Obnoxious parking, especially people who park in disabled spots
- Sheep mentality, for example jay walking in the city centre. I'm noticing this more and more, people are literally unconscious and don't even think twice about checking for oncoming traffic, oh the people in front are crossing, I'll go too.
- Parents letting kids run wild in restaurants and pubs
- Lack of decent customer service in this country, and the general acceptance of this
- People who don't listen and just want to talk about themselves
- Retarded 1st replies in after hours trying to be hilarious..oh thank me, thank me

Blacks in the jacks.

The assumption that everyone gives a damn about football and/or rugby and care how the international teams do in tournaments or whether we get into them at all.

"Stupid Man Syndrome" in tv ads that still exists to this day.

Alcohol not available after 10pm.

Alcohol not available 24/7.

Weed still illegal.

Abortion still illegal.

Phil Lynott, Gary Moore and Rory Gallagher are dead.

Louis Walsh still alive.

Being told that Irish is my language even though I don't speak a word of it, don't know anyone who speaks it apart from my long dead Grandad, never needed it and never will.

Hatred of Dubliners because they're from Dublin.

The assumption that Dublin only has two accents, D4 (no-one from D4 sounds like that) and knacker.

Non-Dubliners who think I give a ****e about how many times their county has won their cute little sports game final thing.

People in general.
