Going spare about losing my game disc only to find it lurking in a nest of dust bunnies when I pull back the curtains.
Spent a good two hours going mad trying to find it!

Pluralising surnames for no reason, e.g. "good save there by Shay Givens". It's especially unforgivable when in writing, really winds me up.

Ah yes that reminds me. I hate when commentators, pundits and other bull****ters say something like "this might be the last tournament for the likes of the shay givens, the richard dunnes, the damien duffs, maybe even the robbie keanes of this Irish squad".

Eh. Its not the likes of the shay givens, the richard dunnes, the damien duffs, maybe even the robbie keanes of this Irish squad. We only have one of each. Just name them. Dammit.

Have to go checking my last few posts now, paranoid about my spelling and grammar!

Damn that,s annoying!

osarusan

Sports fans (usually football, in my experience) who justify a horrible refereeing decision in their favour by pointing out an earlier, debatable, inconsequential decision, and arguing that these things 'even themselves out.'

And the opposing fans who rightly point out the nonsense of this argument, yet will be making the same paper-thin argument themselves a few weeks later after it happens to their team.

Miley cyrus, im fed up of seeing her on tv wearing as little as possible and her stupid tongue out of her mouth like a cow lickin her calf, her whole im a grown up now and i know what sex is image is pissing me off, shes on tv way too much

Cycling Dumbasses

Taking bog roll after having a ghostie and wasting it cause you wiped it, should have trusted instincts.

MJ23

Young lads taking the piss.
Give them an inch and they take a mile.


Long story, cant go into it. Fuming here.

Lingua Franca

People embellishing stories with easily disprovable facts.

Take the recent footage of the attack on Celtic fans by Ajax fans in Amsterdam. That should be deplorable enough on it's own but people are claiming that children and old men eating their dinner were attacked. It's a pub slap bang in the middle of in the red light district. It doesn't allow children in and it doesn't serve food!

Whats annoying me this week is that it's my birthday in a few days and three groups of people expect me to be at three different places at once.
Family want me at home, college friends want me in the pub in town and school friends want me in the local. Head is wrecked

People with friends and family , they're so smug !:p

That particular one is an age thing - people who thought the name was Givens because of Don Givens when Shay started playing years ago. Tis easy confuse us:P

I hate Michael Noonan sayin 2 14 two fourteen when he is talking about 2014 - it's two thousand and fourteen or twenty fourteen. FFS
Although I suppose it diverts me from what rubbish he is spouting about the future of our economy.

People driving out the entrance of a car park, rather than driving out the exit, both clearly marked, and with arrows showing the way. I had this yesterday, I was driving into a supermarket car park. A woman started to drive towards me. I stopped the car, as there isn't space to pass. I could almost hear the sighs as she had to reverse and actually go out the exit.

Two more:

- when paying at the till and the person who was behind you in the queue ends up standing beside you as you enter your pin/pay the cashier. Back the fcuk up, it's so rude.

- charities/salespeople etc. calling to my door and getting all defensive when I tell them I don't do any of that stuff at my front door with a complete stranger. "Oh but your neighbours did".... bully for them. I know it's a ****ty job calling door to door, but if I'm not interested, just go without the defensive crap!

Strobe lighting.

I find it irritating and it's actively dangerous for many people. Would a concert/video be any less of a spectacle without it? Would people miss it?

Stop feeling/pinching/mushing that row of loaves with your freckled cloven claw, you old krone.

MJ23

People in lidl and aldi reaching over you to grab the "next customer please" thing. Just wait will you, the conveyor is about 15foot long, I'm not going to run out the door with your bag of oranges and slab of Galahad.

Hmm, trivial but not just annoying, pissed me off a fair bit actually as it's something I'd never experienced before -

I was just in mass there, not my usual Church, but they passed around the baskets, and in nearly 20 years I'd say I've never given anything into it*, just passed it on to the next person. Nobody's ever questioned me on it.

But today this particular chap was collecting the baskets when he stopped and asked me "Have you contributed?", I was a little taken aback by the question, but answered "No", and what followed could only be described as a "stare-off" where he expected me to put my hand in my pocket. Obviously after a minute of this he realised I wasn't budging, and moved on.

"Dad you're so embarrassing!" said my young lad beside me.

"Son" I replied, "Look around you, do they look like they actually need the money?".


Just for shìts 'n' giggles then I took a look at their newsletter under "Financial Matters" and noticed under "Last Weeks Collection" - €3,709...

And this is only a Church in a small town!


*I haven't given any financial assistance to the Church because I honestly don't believe they need it. It's just my own personal thing that I'd congregate in a haybarn and it wouldn't bother me, I find all the ornate finery quite distasteful and tacky and it'd do the Church no harm to practice the poverty and humility of which they preach!

If they need to raise money that badly - like any business they should sell off some of their vast assets instead of attempting to pilfer their congregation.

Christ that was more like a sermon than a short trivial annoyance :pac:

MurdyWurdy

I'm not a mass goer (i'm of the "other" persuasion) but I've been to a few in the last year or so and am completely puzzled by the fact that in that church the collection basket comes around twice ( I'm just used to the once in our church). What's the point of that? Surely they just get the same amount of money overall. Why do you give twice? I would have thought people just give the same amount divided in two.

Not annoying but puzzling to me. Is there a reason for it? Do they think they'll get more?
