People not rinsing the shower after themselves so there's huge amount of dried-in soap gunk left around the plughole area (girl) or worse, chest hairs and god knows what else kind of hairs all over the fecking bath (boy). Filthy animals. Can they not bloody see???? How come I can see it but others can't!? Uuuugh! :mad:

Gross. I find that a kettle or two of boiling water gets rid of that problem. (down the drain, not over the culprits!)

I really annoy myself when I get into pointless debates with idiots.

Next time you get an urge to be sucked into a pointless debate, take a few deep breaths, and...... don't.

Especially if it's an internet debate. Statistics show that literally no good has ever come or will ever come from an internet "debate."

Drives me nuts when people are standing chatting in the middle of a path/hallway/walkway blocking the way, they see you walking towards them and then don't move an inch, so you've to awkwardly edge around them. I always find myself muttering sorry aswell, as if it's my fault!

God damn Irish sun. If it's a good day and you're lying out in it, the clouds appear every five minutes, so 80% of the time you're just an idiot lying in the garden.

lol I hate this too. I remember one day drinking down at the Spanish Arch in Galway during a nice summer day. Sat down with my friends, cracked open cans and enjoyed the sun. 10 minutes later clouds come out, it's cold and we put our jumper/jackets on. 10 minutes later sun comes out, we took our tops off again. 5 mins later clouds come and we put our jumpers on again, etc etc etc. Makes you just want to give up and go to the pub or something :P

People who throw chewing gum on the ground. It's on both of my shoes. Disgusting!

After spending the last 30 minutes trying to clean it off. Would like to now place it back in the gob of whoever spat it on the street...complete with grass, stones, all stuck on, and the WD40 I've been using to clean it off :mad:

Both feet? One piece of chewing gum? It must have been huge. Or did you reverse back over it to get it on the other shoe?

Sorry to laugh at your misfortune, I'd be raging too!

Pop the whole shoe in the freezer for a while. the gum will just snap off ( for hygiene reasons, maybe place in a plastic bag first),

One piece was huge, on one shoe. Gross! No reversing, a second slightly smaller piece on the other shoe. The soles have loads of tracks on the pattern, bleurgh...

Just as well this thread exists though, for sharing these trivial annoyances.

^^^ My son has gotten a few chest infections over the years, more than you would expect with a child. He has also gotten breathless or wheezy once or twice and we got an inhaler from the GP if he cant catch his breath.
To get him properly tested and to see if he has Asmatha (sp?) or any other respitory problems, we were given an appointment for 21 months away. Nearly 2 years for an appointment for a child. Ludacris.

Get your GP to write to the consultant to try to speed things up. Sadly you have to be really pushy these days. It's bad enough waiting as an adult patient but it must be very frustrating for a parent.

When gob****es go on game shows that they have no right to be on and just embarrass themselves and frustrate the viewers.

I saw an old episode of Catch Phrase recently and this idiot was just shouting out nonsense. "Man Chair!", "Sky Clouds!" "Sad bumblebee in the sea!"

Get off.

And this wan years ago on the Irish WWTBAM with Gaybo. The first question was something like: "Complete this famous sentence - "'Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me _______"?

She picked the most stupid option of "A fiver".

Go home love.

Don't read this if you have a weak stomach...

I have a work colleague who insists on having the most vile conversations over lunch;

Main stomach churning ones I've been dragged through while trying to eat;

when she rang a family member and they were on the toilet cause they had a colonoscopy the next day.. Full description of sounds included

When her dog jumped onto her bed and wagged her tail and her dogs period went all over the bed covers and walls

When she had a kidney infection and the medicine was turning her pee and sh!te green and yellow

When her dog was in the car and her period is now all over the car seats, I was offered a lift later that day, needless to say I walked!!

How to break a bunnies neck (I love all animals) when it moved onto how to skin a bunny that's when I was like ehh I'm eating.. Didn't stop the description though

Their family member who had her hand up a cows hole to get it pregnant with a semen stick

Then there are the food descriptions;

She got an egg sandwich one day and the woman serving it had a huge snot hanging out of her nose.. Resembled uncooked egg

A ball of hair in the curry she ordered the night before, how long it took to pick it out also

How someone she knew had their intestine come outside of their ass hole and it had to be surgically put back in

The list could go on for pages, I'm trying to condition myself to unhear as much as possible.

Icing on the cake though is a person that while eating will leave the same piece of ketchup/coleslaw/egg mayo all over their face until they finish their meal...

If you point it out, your blasted with, are you my mother?!

I even ended out with my family and this person once, don't ask how then ended in my life outside work, but my relative pushed their plate away and when they were gone I was asked how on earth I could stomach that daily!

I know the first thing everyone asks is why on earth do you sit with them.. It's awkward not too as it's a small business, everyone else has the same issue with this, we've been nice and tried to change the subject but it usually later in the same lunch going into a worse description of something gross

I've a tough enough stomach but everyone has a breaking point, put yourself in the position of having noodles then someone blatantly saying those look similar to the worms my dog had, that wasn't to me but a colleague.. Noodles were then binned.. Yuk

@yr one

I had to stop reading not even half way through... Some people are just unbelievable. Yuck. I thought one of my colleagues was bad when she brings up all sorts of shíte up during lunch but this is just way over the line. What are some people thinking!?

Gongoozler

Fcuk being nice, tell her to shut the **** up talking about disgusting things, never mind it being at lunch time either.

LynnGrace

I didn't read it all. Disgusting. I'd start by saying, 'could we talk about something else, that's disgusting', and keep going from there. If they won't shut up, start a different, louder conversation until they get the 'hint'.

yr one

I've said the obvious like common were eating, and like ugh that's rotten stop.. I know outside work it would be shot down immediately but in work it's different, we would be in trouble if we cursed at her, I work in a very formal office, so cursing is shun upon. Which I don't have a problem with, but I think that sort of conversation should be banned.. I've often sat with other people while they've been off and it was nice not having to listen to it

We all feel exactly the same way, but it's like talking to a wall, nothing gets through to her

It was usually conversations of how she lives in poverty and when we do anything we get the oh nice to be able to afford that, or do whatever.. Which irritates the sh!t out of me, no one is going to fix a situation like that for you, but I could live with it, We used to say stupid stuff to get a rise out of her, then every so often there was a gross story but lately it's gone extreme, I think it's cause we all sit together more often now.

Anyhow, glad I got that out there.. Sorry to anyone that read it with a weak stomach also, prob should put a warning on the top of it??

Done that several times, once we were being told about how the dog eats tesco brand dog food and her poop Is less runny now than it was on an expensive brand..

My food was making a comeback so one of the others started talking about plans for the weekend and then she butted back in with did you see that murder wherever, the head was chopped off, I think the eyes were missing too.. How would you get eyes out though? Like with a spoon.. My lunch was officially over at that point!

Oh I had a broken nail picked and flicked towards my one day too.. It stuck to my top and I had to pick it off.. Agh even the thought of that one is making me sick now too...

I can't even cope with Winning Streak. Sometimes I'll come into the living room and my husband will be online and will be oblivious to it but I can feel my blood pressure rising and have to get to the remote as quickly as possible to turn it off. I'm cringing just thinking about the gobshi*tery of that programme.
