Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

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

Its way more common than you'd expect and I find myself trying to spot these cuckoo in the nest babies when out and about!

When the crotch of your tights is on a permanent mission towards your knees all day. Uncomfortable as hell, plus I'm wearing a fairly short skirt so I keep getting paranoid that it'll actually fall down past the hem!

I am told the cure for this is to wear a second "knicker", after you put tights on, this keeps everything in place:p

Also similar to people who say they're so OCD. My brother has OCD and he's not neat or careful he has ticks if something triggers him he has to stop what he's doing and go through a certain set of actions to continue and it's really upsetting to see him have to go through that. I would like to think that I'm not overly sensitive but I probably am if I didn't know anyone with it I might just not think about it but it is a bit ignorant still. A few people in work have said to me and about me "Oh you're/she's so OCD about cleaning". :rollseyes:

Oooh this!! In the bathroom I can always see people looking at me when I'm washing my hands, and if with someone I know they'll comment on it saying I'm ocd about washing and drying them- eh no I'm not, I just wash them properly instead of sticking the tips of my fingers under the tap for two seconds and then flicking the water off and wiping the rest on my jeans. And when they give out about me taking too long to dry them they roll their eyes- bacteria thrives in damp warm environments- you're literally just warming up the moist area for it if you don't fully dry them!!

Then when I've had a cold I carry a hand sanitiser with me so I'm not spreading any germs onto stuff with my hands, just to be safe, the amount of people that say things like "oh you already had the cold its too late for that " or saying its the reason I had the cold "you killed off your good bacteria using that and that's why you got sick, stop being ocd". Ok in future I won't think about trying to protect you from getting my cold.

Dear God imagine getting hit by a bus if you were doning outside pants. I can imagine the paramedics, "ah Jaysus lads look at this one, thinks she's superman" :pac:

Yeah, and knowing my bloody luck it'd happen!

Dear the hours between 6 and 9 am: I don't like you, I don't want to know you, I didn't miss you over Christmas (this is my first week back :P), you're bastards and I want to be asleep every minute that I have to deal with your crap. I can't wake until the weekend when you'll F.UCK OFF out of my life again.

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.

Oh jaysus, THIS! It's a bloody HANDrail, not a full body rail you fat fvcker! (For some reason it is always always fat people who do this. Too lazy to hold their own weight for 5 whole minutes maybe?!)

When bus drivers drive off before you've sat down and you're left wobbling about trying to get to a seat without bumping other passengers with your bags. Even worse is when you're about to sit down and when the bus starts you get poked in the ass with the arm of the chair. Painful that.

People who, when looking at cars for sale, will kick the tyres. Why? do they expect the wheel to fall off from a kick? Do they know what possible problem you can detect by kicking a tyre?

Can you imagine saying that to someone and then finding out they'd had a bereavement or been recently diagnosed with a terminal illness or something:eek::o I'd never say it to someone.

It's always strangers though. If it was a mate I'd know they were just taking the piss.

People who drop down onto a bus seat like a fuuckng crater landing. Some fat fuuck dropped from a height combined with a huge sigh and dispelling of fat crevice mould and moths, taking the knees off you if you're sitting behind. It should have it's own verb. Lets see....this might involve inventing a word.....Phlump. Yes thats it. Phlump. I don't know why it can't be flump. Phlump just looks better. Feckin bus phlumpers :mad:

A skilful combination of "lump" with a rather onomatopoeic representation of a wet, partially-solid trouser flapping fart. Strong indeed are you with the Force. :cool:

And every 2 mins, its "thank you for holding, your call is very important to us"

No, its not, if it was I would be talking a real person, not a fuucking machine. You could not give a flying ****e about me or my poxy problem, so don't try to pawn me off with yer how important my call is ****e!!

Cold hard butter - please do not put butter in the fridge.
Sandwich shops that offer you "butter" but it's really some dairy spread muck.

BUTTER! That's the other thing I needed from the shop! Grrrr, going in to the shop for a few little bits and not writing them down because there are only 2 and you'll remember both of them... NOPE!

I've said it before but I've just seen it again and it's so annoying it deserves reiteration.

Commas used in place of apostrophes are the work of the devil. How can anyone think that looks right? And you put a space after a comma, not before.

Someone is eating an apple. Right beside me. In the library. SHHHHH.

Crumbs in the butter, and big gouges carved into it by people with not enough patience to scrape daintily from the top, and people wiping their butter knife on the side of the butter dish, leaving butter contaminated with whatever was also on the knife all around the edge of the dish.

Butter abuse, it's unforgivable.:(

That drives me to the edge of reason.

And the overuse of '!'

Because that's how I like to show how much fun and how perky I am!!! My vacuousness is in direct proportion to the number of exclamations I use!!!!!! And people who use multiple exclamation marks tend to use Australian upspeak in reality!!!! And that drives me nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you're dipping your Dorito and it breaks in half inside the jar. Then you need an even bigger Dorito to scoop it out.
