Drives you completely insane

    For me?

    Missing a DART because of the flow of people getting off it coming through the station turnstiles.

    Tearing after a bus that pulls off, regardless.

    Self-service checkout locking itself because I'm attempting to buy stuff and demanding me to "please wait for assistance".

    So you're insane most of the time? These are just minor inconveniences for most people.

    Not able to get on a DART because of the flow of people getting off it and coming through the turnstile things.

    Tearing after a bus that pulls off, regardless.

    Self-service checkout throwing a hissy fit because I'm buying stuff and demanding me to "please wait for assistance".

    You're supposed to let the people off first. It's people like you that drive everyone else insane.

    When in a lift and the doors open and you have people trying to get in before you can even get out.

    When people say goodbye or goodnight to me and i bid them farewell, But then they come back through the door 2mins later after forgetting something or whatever and we repeat the farewell again, i dont know why but it just really irrates me.

    I have already said goodbye to you, now i must repeat the act again!

    Yup, it's more polite for the person attempting to board a train to miss the train and have to wait 10-15 minutes than for the person departing to stand aside and wait 2-5 seconds for someone to get past. Makes heaps of sense man! :pac:

    Or perhaps you are the sort of person who delights in other people missing their bus/train/plane, etc? :D

    I'm with ya on this one!!

    I love when I make nice food and I sit down and Come Dine with Me is on. It's the same way you can't watch Charlie and the Chocolate factory without a supply of chocolate beside you. Also, I can't watch the movie Sideways without drinking wine....although that goes for most movies if I'm honest:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,293 ✭✭✭1ZRed


    Eating noises and being stuck in front of some prick that won't shut his mouth when he's eating and sounds with a rock tumbler while doing it :mad:


    Also, those bastards that duck out on the round right when it finally comes around to them. Dickheads.

    Well if ye're not complaing about the toilet seat being up ye're complaining about piss all over it.

    What do ye want? :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    People who stand talking at entrances/exits to things - shops, escalators, lifts, etc - and then get pissed off at other people pushing past them.

    When you've carefully chosen the empty toilet cubicle at the end of the row and that guy comes in and decides to take the one next to you, even though all of the other ones are free. I hate that guy.

    Beacuse they wait until its their turn before rummaging through their handbag/rucksack/satchel etc etc looking for their card, then they proceed to carry out another transaction using a different card, repeating the above.

    :mad::mad:

    Especially escalators.

    Almost every day without fail I had to scream at the similar looking Japanese tourists who decided to pause when they reached the top of the escalator at Victoria Tube station to look for Buck house on their little maps.

    Irish people on escalators here aren't much better to be honest. Recently in the Corrib SC, Mary on her mobile decides to stop for a chat with Maureen right here.
    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTzGrj0Bs_XrSevyB0fOpVF-KqdhxjGdpEi1n75z9k18ApdSkCRag

    "Maureen where did you say the coffee shop was again?"

    Needless to say, Mary got huge 'encouragement' to move along by the joyful Christmas shoppers rapidly descending behind her.

    Me included. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,462 ✭✭✭✭WoollyRedHat


    People stopping randomly to talk to somebody, meanwhile getting in the way or blocking others from getting past. The worst are those who do it at the foot or top of the stairs.. those people need to be eliminated.


    ETA: See you've said pretty much the same Seamus. But the stair lurkers are the worst..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭Rasheed


    Was driving home from Castlebar last night, about two hours of a drive, it reminded me of when I used to drive a lot at night.

    The amount of hoors that dim their lights when they are in your eye line, but put the full fūcking beams back on, just as they met you. Pricks.

    I was stuck behind a couple like that today. Was going to the elevator and tried to go past them, but they just drifted in front of me. Then they went on the elevator and stood side by side so I couldn't get past.

    I buried them in the U-Bahn station.

    People who look you square in the eye when you are going round a roundabout yet still pull out in front of you then think you are the asshole for blowing at them.

    Spending all afternoon at work thinking about something nice you'll enjoy eating/drinking when you get home.

    We are in the middle of a 'flu epidemic. This doesn't stop vast numbers of people sneezing without a tissue covering their noses thus aerosoling virus infested snot over everything in a three or four foot radius. You know you're sick, carry tissues.

    If you have a cough, have the decency to cover your mouth. Firstly I don't want your bug showered all over me, and secondly, I don't want to see your tonsils.

    People who use public loos and don't wash their hands. It could be their hand in your bag of crisps and you'd never know what extra flavours they're adding.
