    People who can't close a door, turn off a light, wash up, cook, tidy up after themselves, show a bit of initiative. You're not 12, go make your own dinner you buffoon.

    People who aren't capable of returning food /drink to the fridge after they take them out to use. The likes of milk butter cheese ham soft drinks it wrecks my head no one wants a warm drink. That and leaving the lid off milk/drinks.

    Feckers who drink straight from the milk container

    Feckers who won't leave their cup back at the sink after I make tea or coffee for them

    Boot cut jeans:mad:... come on, WTF is that all about?

    Getting a receipt for soap.... in case it..... breaks or doesn't work?

    Being asked in Argos if I want to take out insurance cover on an alarm clock that cost €8, apologies if I posted this before, but everytime I think about it, it just annoys me even more.

    Facebook status that annoy me;

    People who post/ motivational, weight loss tips, daily quotes, lifestyle pictures.

    The type of ones that say 'enjoy today, you never know when your last is'. Or 'be proud of yourself today, every new day is a puzzle you have to piece together'.

    Feck off, I don't wanna know that you think you're a great, motivational person. It's ridic.





    I log into Facebook to see someone say how many calories are in a Starbucks Frappacchino. I enjoy these; it's not my problem you cannot have them as you're on a diet. Let the people who can have them, enjoy them.

    Basically, fcuk off.

    The "motivational" posts drive me insane! A girl I used to work with is constantly posting random selfies from nights out headlined with quotes such as:
    “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”
    “Believe in yourself and there will come a day when others will have no choice but to believe with you.”
    "When you start using senses you've neglected, your reward is to see the world with completely fresh eyes."
    These are in no way related to the photos, like there isn't even a tenuous link. I'm pretty sure she genuinely thinks she's some sort of lifestyle guru. Similarly, anyone who posts stock pictures of seaside views or the like accompanied by "inspirational" messages is insanely annoying.

    Bad drivers.
    Cyclists.
    Runners and walkers on narrow bendy back roads. You'll cause an accident.
    Dog shyte on footpaths.
    Wans working at check outs nattering away to each other.
    People bragging about how much they drank the night before.
    Guinness farts.
    Bad time keepers.
    People who can't leave their phone in their pocket for more than a minute.
    Poor spelling.
    Fake laughs.
    Cricket.
    Gay Byrne.

    I bought a Yorkie yesterday for the first time in ages. Only 5 chunks? Wtf!
    I could have sworn they used to have 6 when I was a lad.

    They did! But the winner of the "taking the piss" award must go to Caramel bars, they whoop whoop about their "new shape" bar, but all they've done is changed the chocolate moulds so there's no excess edges on the squares, they're now more shaped like half capsules.

    The chocolate isn't as thick either. It'll be the same for this years collection of Easter eggs - the bare skim of chocolate :(

    Going into the toilet in work to find one of the other cubicles occupied. The person inside stays completely silent the whole time you are there. You finish up and they are still in there being silent. I've been known to faff around outside for ages after in an attempt to 'flush them out' but they stay inside silenty stuck to the bowel doing whatever the hell it is they are doing! This happens to me at least once a week!

    they're probably playing Angry Birds :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 818 ✭✭✭Triangla


    Then they come out of the cubicle and you sit on the warm seat?

    Sitting on a warm toilet seat after seeing the person is the most disgusting thing in the world.

    In some parts of the world there are honour killings over that.

    Or Angry Turds.

    Maddening. I usually wait it out. It becomes a battle of wills that I simply cannot lose!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,331 ✭✭✭deise08


    I use boards on my mobile.
    When I scroll down and tap on the topic I want to go in to (usually trivial things) my phone doesn't keep up wit me reloads back to the top of the page and I've ended up tapping on some random thing about parts for boilers or something.
    Now that's very annoying.
    and it doesn't just happen the once either

    If their bowels are stuck together, that could explain a lot :p

    They could be busy reading Boards too :o


    And having just got a call from a work colleague looking to know where I am, that's one way to flush them out! Geez, can't even get five minutes to myself! :(

    We have loads of these silent squatters in work. One day I'm going to call over the partition "Would you please shag off and stop monopolising the place, I need to fart".

    Poor manners!!!

    People that don't say thanks when a door has been opened for them

    This!

    Seriously, I always hold a door open if there's anyone within ten feet of it, and if they don't say thank you I always give them a hate filled very loud "Oh, you're welcome...."

    Ignorant c*nts.

    Ok I'll probably be shot for this but something that annoys me immensely and for no apparent reason is when ugly people pro-create. I know looks are not important, its whats inside that counts blah de blah but it really annoys me when I see (usually women) bumbling along, 3 progenies and all looking like Fiona from Shrek. Wtf? Why? If I looked like Fiona from Shrek I wouldn't inflict my genes on anyone :(

    Worse than ugly procreators is stupid procreators. Unfortunately, they're too stupid to realise this.

    Banging into people in the shop and apologising only to realise they're manicans. Made worse by a mirror being right in front of it so I could see how much of a knob I looked like instead of just feeling like one.
