Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

Hope it's okay to start the new thread (not sure if mods have to do it).

I posted this right at the end of the last thread so just carrying it over as it has me driven demented.

I have a question on this subject.

10,000 post limits.

But in seriousness phone memory.

My phone has 500+mb free of internal memory but thats not enough space to install a 800kb app or stream a song from google play.

I get that it need memory for X and Y but jeez its annoying

Thank **** for this, my hands (and other bits) were starting to get all sweaty. I do have a life you know........

The door when left slightly ajar that bangs repetitively with the wind.

People who spend more than 30 seconds at an ATM as if it was the first time they've used one.

Old women nattering about their recent visit to the doctor, usually every two hours.

"...go play outside"

Parents who bring their evidently fat children to McDonald's. In fact, the very sight of the satisfaction on the face of obese people eating McDonald's is just ****ing annoying.

and then when they are done take another bank card and start the process again. If you are using it twice queue twice, or at least ask if anyone minds

People who walk around in January and wear t-shirts and/or shorts.

I'm always tempted to shout "Hey, loser, give it up.....You've no money. Now bugger off out of the queue"

I work with 2 women who eat their food like toddlers. I mean eating with their mouth wide open, jiggling hot food around in their mouth, talking and laughing with their mouth full of food.

It makes my skin crawl! I actually had to leave my lunch without finishing it and leave the office because I just couldn't sit there listening to them.

Would it be rude of me to say something to them? They both sit next to each other and are quite friendly so I was thinking of saying something to them together. Can I?

(my first thread on boards :cool: )

Going to the trouble to start a new thread, with a query and everyone ignores it:)

bobbygrant

people using 'was like' or 'went' too much instead of 'said'.

fussyonion

Babies with big mops of hair really irritate me. And disgust me actually. Don't ask me why, they just do. And I'm not a baby-hater.

Shorts I get, but t-shirts? Really? What if it's not cold?

FairytaleGirl

Do make up in the morning for work.

Leave the house and the wind makes my eyes water.

Arrive at work looking like Alice cooper or like I've been crying.

The theme tune to Grand Designs is one of the all time great TV theme tune compositions. Stop talking over it you bastards.

Good one on last night as well with some poor bloke who was taken to the cleaners by some knobs on the planning board and a fussy neighbor. His design was totally compromised after 20 years of waiting to build his dream home.

Pumpkinseeds

The sound of masonry drills. 1 neighbour in our terrace had 5 months of refurbishment 5 sometimes 6 days a week in the run up to Christmas. Once he'd finished his next door neighbour started with the refurb. Christ on a bike the sound of those drills is enough to make a body homicidal:mad:

Standard Toaster

Toilet paper that's placed the wrong way round on the holder :mad:

The phrase "turned around"

"And then I turned around and was like...and then she turned around and said...and then I turned around and told her..."

Kunts rotating mid conversation like a rotisserie chicken!

Things that appear in the shops on January 1, like clockwork:
- Cadbury's Creme Eggs. Easter is still ... some number of weeks away.
- those stupid rip-off multi-part magazines, such as "Build a model airplane in 36 parts", for only €7.99 each (or whatever). Target audience: the innumerate. Oh wait - the first couple of issues are discounted, that makes it better ...

fussyonion

New products advertised in magazines or on telly but the shops are slow to get them in.
What do you mean Cadbury have a new flavour chocolate bar and my local Tesco/Dunnes/SuperQuinn/SuperValu/Centra/Londis/Spar/Costcutter don't have it yet?!

Competitions in English magazines, sold in Ireland, that are not open to residents of the Republic of Ireland.
WTF?!

What really pisses me off is when one of your favourite magazines has SUBSCRIBE NOW FOR HALF PRICE FOR A YEAR AND TEN THOUSAND FREE GIFTS!!!

....and then, as always..... UK Residents only. EU customers please ring 0818 xxx xxx and subscribe for just ten billion pounds per year.

I KNOW! It's like...if you're not gonna allow ROI residents to participate, don't sell your magazine here!
It's really irritating.

I love doing the magazine puzzles and it's disheartening to get to the Entry Form page only to see, in small print, those words OPEN TO UK RESIDENTS ONLY.
Same goes for sites offering free samples.

For the puzzles, Sign-up for Parcel Motel and pretend to be from the north. For magazines it would cost you €3.50 to receive each issue but that might still work out cheaper.

fussyonion

But you know what else I've noticed?
For the magazine puzzles that are open to ROI residents, I have NEVER seen an Irish person winning anything.
I've been buying the English magazines for 14 years and I regularly skim the Winners section and I can tell you, I've never seen one Irish winner.

I reckon if they pull a ROI resident out of the hat, they pick an English winner instead cos it's less hassle.

Getting music stuck in your head right as you're trying to go to sleep. It always happens to me if I've had too much screen time during the day, and it's always just a couple of bars of something stupid and random. Today I've been listening to The Bee Gees, Miley Cyrus (**** the haters, yo), Tunng, LCD Soundsystem and Tyler the Creator, and what does my brain come up with to keep me awake? The opening ten seconds of the Game Of Thrones theme tune on loop, of fcuking course.

Okay people, heading into another day of being surrounded by these people with no manners.
Can I say something to them and what can I say? I don't want to be rude or embarrass anyone but I also need it to stop! Help!

I dont think there is a nice way of saying "you eat like a pig, please shut your pie hole while eating, you uncouth ignoramus."
