Go full scale 'lizard people caused 9/11' and they wont say anything else for fear of being associated with your ideas.

Hah, just the other day I actually mentioned the lizard people to a friend of a friend who was telling me that Jim Corr has been vindicated on most of the crap he spouted. It put a stop to her gallop alright.

The Strawberry Alarm Clock. I only have to listen to it for the 2 minutes it takes me to get my breakfast in the local Spar on my way to work, but it's enough to drive me mental. It's like the most annoyingly unfunny people in the country read about humour in a book and decided to give it a lash on the radio.

You should be alright as long as you don't do what I saw some lads at yesterday - holding the gun sideways! It worked if you were trying to kill the enemy with cringe!

I find the phrase "I digress..." very irritating and cringeworthy. Usually spouted by smug people!

Why It's just a slightly fancier way of saying "Moving aside from the main subject at the moment...". Don't see anything smug about it.

You know when you are queuing to come off the M50 to head on to the N7?

You know how you've been in the queue for a couple of minutes and it's barely moving?

You know the cnut who drives up to the front and then bangs an indicator on and proceeds to block the inside lane of the M50 because he's waiting for his right to be "let in" to the queue?

You can die now you f*cker.

You wouldn't walk to the front of the queue in Tesco and barge in, so don't do it on the road.

Almost as bad as you is the dick who lets you in...

This has to be the most annoying git on the road!

The price of petrol for lawnmowers..

I'm always shocked at what it costs to fill a little 5 litre container, I know I should have a rough estimate in my head but am still shocked :pac:

People who say "What?" when you say something but they have heard you already.
E.g "Do you want anything in the shop?"
Person: "What? Oh no thanks"

Why say "what" when you clearly heard me?!
There's a woman I know that says this EVERYTIME I speak to her and it drives me doolally.

"Hiya Trish how are you?"
"What? Ah sure I'm grand"
"Lovely day today isn't it?"
"What? Oh yeah smashing"

STOP SAYING WHAT!!!!

I do it too (although not that frequently!)... It's something I just do without thinking!

When someone says "What?" I mentally drive over their face in a tank.

That's brill.

I've a friend who says "Pardon" all the time on the phone. I can't have a conversation with her at all.
Me: So, did you get that DVD you were looking for?
Her: Pardon?
Me: The DVD you wanted. Did you get-
Her: Oh yes. Got it, thanks.
Me: That's good. You were looking for it for ages.
Her: Pardon?
Me: *waits this one out*
Her: Pardon?
Me: *still waiting but, you know, mentally stabbing her in the head*
Her: Yeah, I really was looking for it for ages. Even Amazon don't have it. However did you spot it?
Me: I was just passing. Saw it in the window.
Her: Pardon?
Me: (Very. Loudly.) I THINK YOUR PHONE IS BROKEN AGAIN. I HAVE TO GO NOW.
Her: Pardon? Oh yes. Well, see you soon. Thanks for letting me know about the DVD.
Me: Bye. No problem.
Her: Pardon?
Me: I. Said. Goodbye. It. Was. No. Problem.
Her: Oh, well, bye now! Thanks for the call! Love to the kids!
Me: ***seething eye-twitching rage***

I speak clearly. Nobody else has a problem understanding me on the phone. I can speak to her husband on the same phone and there's no difficulty. She's not hard of hearing and there's none of this "pardon" fúckwittery when I meet her in person. It's just on the phone and it's beyond infuriating. I'm wondering do we have the same friend, fussyonion? There couldn't be two of them.

Some of the songs on my iPod that wont work and skip to the end of the track.

The Diabolical Monocle

Bit the inside of my mouth.

Was only eating cause I felt I had to buy something after wandering around the shop so late at night.

They didn't even have the thing I wanted.

The bar I was involuntarily eating was way overpriced.

Now Im angry at myself and them.

Fcking yazoo.

Knight who says Meh

Gotta go with Ghost Buster (I think...cant find the OP) with the alternative medicine/anti vaccine increasingly vocal mob.
A friends Mother is in the end phase of a long hard battle with cancer and only has days to live. An idiot crusty neighbour visited and told her if she had taken Bicarbonate of soda for a few months and cut out dairy she would have been fine.
Absolutely insulting and stupid.

NIMAN

The Irish Independents websites recent obsession with Mario Rosenstock.

Every day they have a different 'funny' video of him doing some other character. Do they get commission on his tour ticket sales or something?

Hair bands and bobby pins, it doesn't matter how many I buy they always vanish! I could have 30 hair bands in the hair accessories basket and the minute I need one I can't find any. They are either everywhere or nowhere. People always mention the sock monster, I don't really care about that, I just wear two different socks then but there must be some imp that actually eats hair bands and pins :mad:

Oh and speaking of that. When I can't find any of my hair bands and am left to using the 'ouch band' (= normal elastic band, we have a big box of them in the office), those things pull out half your hair. :pac:

Neighbours who have vile taste. Our neighbours are currently painting the exterior of their house in the most vile colour. My husband has described it as 'mutant blue':( Now we're going to have to live with that colour too.

I think there should be a law whereby anyone going into a shop and trying to buy an awful colour of external paint should only be sold white paint, to stop them inflicting their awful taste on others:D

We had the opposite problem living in England. When we went into our building society to discuss getting a mortgage they noticed my engagement ring and were trying to get us about 60 grand extra on top of the mortgage. Thankfully we'd enough common sense not to borrow from them. We rethought the whole buying side of things and stuck with renting.

There was no way that we would have been able to make the repayments on what they were offering us. I can't remember what the figures where, I just remembered being horrified that they were prepared to give us that kind of money knowing we couldn't repay it:eek::mad:

Trinity college puppy room to combat stress - tf? Are we back at playschool? Just fuucking study and then you wont be stressed. Poor little dogs cooped up in the heat with stressed out strangers coming in to maul them.

Take a shelter dog out to see the sun.

Kind of like what happened here. Your house is 600k? Sure here's 650 - you can stick a conservatory onto every free square inch of garden, and buy a new car too! Go on, there's loadsa money - take it!

Some as*wipe has decided to turf their dog out the back where we live, and it howls 24/7. Non stop I cant listen to the poor creature anymore.

Plus the imbecile in Lidl on Cork street yesterday who was letting his 3 year old pull a chihuahua pup around the place like a fuucking toy. Felt like belting the two of them, although admittedly its not the kids fault - he's too young to know how to handle it. Dog was terrifed. Cowering and being pulled around roughly. Dog will (rightly) snap at the child eventually and then be pts for being "viscious". Say they spent a fair amount of mickey money on it too Stupid imbeciles, should have been bred out by now.*

Happy Friday.
