    Christmas carols ( bad enough) being sung "American style", i.e. stretching and dragging the arse out of every single woohOOOOOHooooohWOOOOORD, so Silent Night lasts about 45 mins!

    November people, November.... :rolleyes:

    Only slightly more annoying than Witnesses -

    You know it's a slow day in the office when you're entertaining witnesses at the door and THEY'RE the ones are a bit freaked out that you haven't told them to fcuk off already! :pac:

    My passive aggressive brother (thats his official title :D) invited them in for tea a decade ago, in his efforts to get everyone to like him. Now, when he sees them coming with the lastest edition of Watchtower he hides behind the sofa while Mammy tells them we're not interested. He's 34 :D

    I often wondered what would happen if you stopped a person in the middle of Grafton st, and said "can I take a few minutes of your time to talk to you about Satan and his works":D

    That's actually what I hear in my head when those fuuckers with the yellow jackets stop me.

    I find as I am not as young as I used to be every fecking thing gets on my nerves... mostly the programmes my hubby and kids watch on TV. I mean really, I have seen episodes of Faulty Towers, Allo Allo, The Big Bang Theory, Friends umpteen million times now, that's not even mentioning the movies, Planet of the Apes, I kid you not I mean ffs.
    They don't do things the way I do things ..for instance, make a sandwich, put everything away wipe down counter crumbs into hand to put in bin, their way, make sandwich not bothering to look if there is butter already opened, noooo that would mean having to look a little bit more eat said sandwich and walk away :eek: till called back then it's throw knife in the direction of dishwasher butter in fridge bread in press crumbs wiped to the floor some of them the rest given a quick swish and where ever they land.
    I could write a book. Nag Nag Nag.....

    I've decided to respond to any happy christmas wishes people offer me with "Hail Satan" this year.

    Ha ha ha. I actually many, many years ago had an AC/DC Highway To Hell back patch on my denim jacket, proabably I was 8 or 9, and one Sunday I got picked by the priest to carry the gifts at half time in mass and when I turned back to look at my parents, the both had their heads in their hands :pac:

    1 like = 1 prayer
    1 share = 100 prayers

    Is there some kind of simultaneous equation we are supposed to be solving here? Fuuck right off, facebook. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,468 ✭✭✭✭OldNotWIse


    And those annoying pages created to remind us that hey another person also died with Paul Walker. Guess what, it's not a fuucking competition - they both died. It's a double tragedy and creating a facebook page to say "no faaaa-ir he got more RIP's than the other guy" will not bring either of them back!

    Today, I was driving along a busy street in a busy suburb on a busy Monday just after lunch. What do I see only some flute on a bicycle with a toddler in front of him near the handlebars, and another even littler 'un in a little'un seat where one would normally see a carrier or such, wobbling along no doubt well chuffed with himself and his Greenie New-Man credentials. Well here is the news: get those poor children offa that thing and into something solid and safe before I, in the words of my late and dearly loved father, drive my boot a mile up your fuckan hole!! :mad:

    Anytime someone says "God bless you" to me it makes my skin crawl. I'll have nothing to do with your god, thanks very much.

    Using a toilet after someone who's just had a big, smelly shít in it

    People who leave...droplets...on the seat. Are we all 3 again??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,944 ✭✭✭✭4zn76tysfajdxp


    Doctor Who fans. Nothing really against the show itself but, judging by the few episodes I've seen, it's so infantile I truly struggle to see what pleasure any adult could derive from it.

    Whenever anyone says 'God bless you' to my dad, he always heartily answers 'And all who sail in her!'

    Confuses the heck out of people.

    People who change their name on Facebook to Irish, i know a lot of them who wouldn't have 2 words of Irish let alone pronounce their new name.

    I know for some alright it's just to be an arse, but for others who would be dealing with the public, it just adds that layer of privacy the way their profile won't show up in a Google search.

    Yes of course Facebook has it's own privacy settings etc, but I wouldn't rely on Facebook alone to protect my privacy, they've been known to reset profile privacy settings to all open in the past.

    Hi Czarcasm thanks for replying on the late 80s/90s dance thread, I didn't want to reply on that actual thread because its just takes too long to load up and when you reply and post it has to reload all over again.

    That's not just a trivial annoyance either bodhrandude, this is though -


    Fruit cocktail for desert... with no ice cream!
