    Waiters who seem programmed not to see you. Even on a quiet evening with few in the restaurant, the waiter seems to be uniquely talents in looking everywhere but at the reasonably calmly gesticulating potential customer. Surely one of the basics of the job is scanning your tables to see if anyone needs anything?

    Sweet zombie jesus I'm going to kill this woman. The entire contents of the kitchen are everywhere and now I have to hunt for my food. Probably a plot to distract me as she uses it. Now to clear space for me to store food in my room.

    The smell of slurry on my lovely fresh washing. Back into the washing machine with it and wait till the slurry spreading stops.

    Bought lovely clothes today. Really excited to look sexy and feel confident....tried on my jumper with sequins on it, and took the tag off. Two got stuck together and now there's a hole in it :( €35 down the pooper :(

    This has annoyed me for a while but that heart-shaped thing people do with their hands (It's getting out of hand actually) really cheesy and annoying.

    I went to school with a lad who lived near a battery chicken farm and when they used to spread the chicken slurry on the fields he used to come into class and make the whole room smell like vomit and disease for a week or 2 every year :D

    Ah I assumed it ripped instead of breaking off.

    This is why we have scissors.

    Cattle shiite is bad, chicken shiite is worse but nothing in this earth smells as rotten as somebody spreading pig shiite. Ill be thankful for small mercies!

    Big long T.V. advert breaks.
    T.V.3 takes the biscuit with 6/7 minute breaks at times.

    I've just watched the ads on tv3...as soon as they were over I thought Jesus they took ages. Then I read your post.

    Great minds!
    I also love tayto.

    TV3 takes the bloody bakery! I actually cannot watch it sometimes.

    People who smoke in bus shelters, especially when its raining
    People who fill up the likes of coke bottles with water or diluted drinks, you just look cheap
    Women who wear skin colour tights, you aint fooling anybody especially when you wear open toe shoes
    When people take about 10 minutes to put their money or change back into their wallet or purse just after paying for something in a shop and you are behind them in the queue
    Beggers at ATM machines, p!ss off if you think you are getting a note!

    In Portugal on Saturday and Sunday morning they show 2 kids films usually in English. I went there every summer for two weeks. If the film was 2 hours long, they would show an hour of it then take a 45 minute ad break and then return to the film. I used to fcuking forget what I was watching!

    Sky channels showing that new David Beckham advert for Sky Sports twice in the same ad break. Piss off.

    When you wait ages for the lift in work then someone comes out of it and starts talking to you/asking you questions and you end up losing the lift. Fuuuuuucking maddening!

    Sometimes channels catch you out by having a really short break, like one ad or something. You go out to make a cuppa and spend a penny and when you come back you've missed a good portion of your show.
    ****ers!

    yeah, you always see them do it on Eurovision, because a heart is the logo, but more and more people are doing it now

    Gareth Bale does it when he scores. Why??? I have absolutely no idea. It makes me hate him though. I'm getting angry thinking about him doing it now.

    Religion debates.....

    Trying to have a reasonable debate with a religious person has to be the most frustrating thing in the world. All logic goes out the window. In the end you just have to agree to disagree and leave it at that. >.<

    I would dispute that, but first I should point out that I am completely immune to the smell of pig-shit, due to many long months excavating very old stock-houses on various pig-farms in the '80s where it was impossible, for one reason or another, to get machinery in. So, pick-axe, shovel and wheelbarrow it was. To me, the worst smell of all is that of our own, human, waste.

    Non worthy 'news'.

    Breaking news for some reason have done an article named "Putin catches a pike". I'm not entirely sure why they think anyone would give a shiney shite.

    I've, like, said it, like a million times before but people who use "like" every third word. I don't know why but it really gets up my nostrils :mad:

    There were two posh girls on the tube this moring "and it was like, God, like so, like ceraaaazy, like".

    What? What's it like, dammit????
