Me and the OH, grab a couch and sit arms around each other, or holding hands, the kids (big kids) will usually call us weirdos , change their minds and go out for the evening.......works everytime.

What about the morons waiting for a lift who press the "up" and "down" buttons? This means if you are descending your trip is shortened by a moron who asks "are you going up?" Generally I ignore them and they get in and are surprised to discover they have descended a further 4 floors before resuming their journey

i hate it when people say your welcome... like this...

What gets right up my left nostril is "No problem!", as in I walk into the shop to get a couple of bits-and-bobs, and then ask for 20 smokes. "No problem!" the person at the till says, and Grumpiness starts to form like a thick, black thunderhead in my Braaane! "No problem?? Why would it be a problem? This is a shop, right? And I'm 42 years old and look it! Now give me my smokes and stop talking ballacks!!" :mad:

Why do our elected representatives wives have such a lack of style/polish I could easily have mistaken Eamonn Gilmores wife as Mammy from Mrs Brownes boys *cringe. Jesus, the lot of them stand out like sore thumbs when you see them as part of a group. Looking at the coverage from Windsor is a typical example.

Lol, I was trying to figure out who she was, she looks like she is from the 1950's and has just woken up in 2014. Though she should fit in with Mrs. Winsor.

A Republic free of the ugly and unstylish kings and queens. The people will vote in the polished and the sophisticated.

Ah, but he did give her a job with a salary over 118,000 euro a year, but not because she's his wife;) She could buy a lot of jammies with that.

People who think it's hilarious to jump
in front of a stranger walking in full speed to take a selfie with them. Oh gaad what a mighty craic you havin'...not! I almost tackled her, stupid cow.

People, who stand right behind you in a queue. Just back off, there's enough space for everyone.

Honestly does personal space ring any bells with anyone these days?? :mad:

When you're purchasing tickets or items from the internet and that absolutely stupid layer of security with having to copy that sequence of letters and numbers, jumbled at various angles, different sizes, made more obscure by that heavily patterned background.

And you end up repeating the process time and again as the text is wrong, being all the more harder to know if the letters are upper or lower case - then on many occasions the timeframe expires before the sale completes.

There must be a less frustrating method.

Why, why, why do people do that! What do they think will happen if they allow a centimetre of space between you and them. It drives me daft!

Trivial things that annoy me are people’s lack of wit or general ignorance on the road for example but not exhaustive


- At mass people are all sanctimonious and prayerful , shaking each other’s hand with peace be with you and all that, but then after the service is over in the car park everyone is cutting each other up, not giving an inch in an attempt to get home ten seconds quicker. The outcome is that everyone gets stuck in grid lock for a lot longer than necessary.

- At night some people drive really slowly with dip beam on constantly, and it is difficult to see past them. Then once you know you are on a bit of a straight, you decide to pass them and as you overtake, the car puts on its full beam in a kind of how dare you kind of manner.

- As you are trying to turn right at a T junction and heavy oncoming traffic crawls along and rather than a driver deciding to create the space at the junction to let you cross part of the road, they decide instead to block up the road, and then look oblivious as your bumper is facing their passenger door for what seems a long time.

- At this stage I am convinced some drivers on the M50 think the middle lane is the slow lane and really the motorway is still a dual carriageway. With the first of four lanes being for cars turning off the carriageway (which is correct), then the next lane is for cars intending to turn off at the next junction after, then in their warped logic the middle lane is the slow lane. Certain drivers refuse to move out of the middle lane and maintain dangerously slow speeds considering the traffic volumes.

Is anyone else bored with RTE's lovey fest for Michael D Higgins? It's a footnote on English tv but Christ, I'm almost waiting for one of our correspondents to climb up Michael D's arse, or at least start licking it.

I change my password every single time, I never remember it because each time it has to be a never before used one so they become more and more obscure each time I change it, I should really write it down next time.

Something buzzing at night.

Every single night, it gets louder and then quiet, stops for 5 seconds, starts again. Kind of like a lawnmower in the distance.

RRRRRRRRrrrrrrrr......RRRRRRrrrrr.

I think its my brothers crap plugged in in the room below me, Its slowly driving me insane.

I first noticed this when I was 17. I didn't think much of it because I only noticed it first thing in the morning and assumed it was those street cleaning machines in the distance somewhere. But then I realised no matter where I was in the world, the noise was still there. I still didn't give it much thought, though. As the years went on, I started to notice it more frequently and it was getting louder. And then I noticed the oddest thing about it... when I sat fully upright in the bed, the noise almost vanished. And then other times when I turned over on to my other side while still lying in the bed, it also vanished. And that's when I copped on that it was something in my head and there wasn't any actual noise going on outside. I never went to get it checked out as it's not really there anymore. It could be caused by wearing earphones a lot, which I used to do but not so much anymore.
