    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 :(

    Phew, I though he was talking about a dog.

    Walking behind smokers on the street. Bang off that is mouldy.

    People who feel the need to comment on anything at all.....

    My personal least favourite is when some asshole walks past me and tells me that smoking is bad/will kill me.... Really? I was not aware of that. Thanks for educating me. D*ckhead.

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 :(


    I thought she was alright, not Jessica Rabbit alright, but, well... yeahhh :o

    Ahh I know what you mean - The Osbornes, just, no! :D

    More of the pipe smoke comes from the pipe or perhaps from the pipe smoker's mouth. The few pipe smokers I know, do a Bill Clinton and don't inhale like a cigarette smoker.

    Most cig smoke you smell has already been down in a smoker's lungs.
    Going by the smell, a smoker's lungs would be somewhere beyond circle 9 in Dante's view of things.

    People who assume that someone who cannot spell correctly ( or just cannot be arsed) suffers from dyslexia. Not a trivial issue by any stretch.

    Thanks to dyslexia FFS

    Oh I absolutely HATE this! As I was told I am mostly known as this always happy-nice-smiley person... And people - my boss especially - have this urge from time to time to "attack" me with "oh common give us a smile" or "what's wrong, you're not smiling?" speech... I am not a fcuking smiling machine, leave me alone!

    That said, I have seen many couples who would be considered conventionally attractive with some right ugly looking off spring!

    Raaaaar :mad: It's up there with "cheer up, it could be worse" or "is it that bad is it?". Usually perpetrated by those who have very little to be so happy about anyway. I'm like listen mate just because you are happy with your scabby lot and delighted with your negative equity 3 bed semi and and mobile home in Cairn beach and 2.5 thoroughly average under achieving offspring and mangey bint of a wife doesnt mean we all have to sleep with fuucking hangers in our mouths right?! Right?!:eek::eek:

    hahahaa this happened to a relative of mine. What made it better was they were actually banging on about how beautiful their baby would be before she was born "cause ya know we're so stunning" (instead of just hoping the thing would have two of everything down the side and one of everything down the middle) and then a carbon copy of the grandfather was born...and it was a girl! lol

    Being bounced like a goddamn tennis ball between different departments when you're on the phone and the stupid "hold" music in between! No it's not soothing, and while I don't expect one person to have all the answers to hand, to be so completely clueless just says "I have zero interest in my job!"...

    Ahh crap, on hold, again! :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,341 ✭✭✭czechlin


    People cracking their knuckles, it makes me cringe.
    People talking loudly on their phones in public transport - just shut up, I don't care that she was like omg like seriously like...
    Big groups of tourist stopping in the middle of a street. Stopping is ok but please don't be idiots and form a line so others can pass by you without stepping onto the road!
    Mothers waiting to cross sticking the buggies with their children into the road - you don't want kids, there's contraception no need for this brutality.
    People walking incredibly slowly in busy streets. Unless they are old and/or have "walking problems".
    All those charity people in the streets that try to stop me to sign up for whatever good cause they're supporting.

    Bad manners.
    Fresh coriander.
    Snoring.

    Bus drivers who can't bring their bus to a halt in a smooth and controlled fashion, when they do stop, not being able to bring the bus close to the path and bustop to make easier for passengers to get on and off.

    Fizzlesticks, I am going to apologise for my previous post, I actually thought you were taking the piss, so sorry about that. Its just (as you point out) so many lazy ****es going " oh, that's me being a bit dyslexic again" , drives me bonkers. I have seen what dyslexia can do to a very bright, smart, outgoing child and it is not always pretty.

    I know, different thread and all that....

    People leaning their whole bodies against the bars on the Luas so that in order to hold on I need to place my hand uncomfortably high or low. I do take great pleasure in jamming my hand in between them and the bar.

    Colleagues brushing their teeth or doing full makeup in the toilets at work.
