On the subject of woman/babies. When my OH was preggers on first child, I could not get over how some women, who had already birthed (see what I did there) would relish in telling horror stories of deliveries.

"Oh I was in labour for seven days, agony"
"Oh the doctor had to slice me in half, cos the child was twenty five pounds with a head the size of a VW Polo"
"Oh I had to have a team of doctors cos I was special"
" I had to have four epidurals and three containers of gas"
"Oh, you wont be letting him near you in a hurry again, it's never worth it"

:D:D Yeah, thank you Ellen Ripley!

I had a nice Nina Simone song in my head for today and then I got a call and someone asked me to book a Tori Amos ticket - now it's all Corkflake Girl!

Baltimore? Love that one....

I see this on another Forum I am on. A woman posts about, for example, the in laws or whoever, wanting to come and stay when she has just had a baby. People wade in with the worst of horror stories about how they felt, after the birth, and so on. I end up feeling so sorry for the poster, who must surely feel a hundred times worse after reading the responses!

I know I probably posted this on the earlier thread but...people standing in an entrance/ exit to have a big chat, oblivious to the fact that people actually need to get in and out! I was going into a building this week with a swipe device by the entrance. Four people were standing at the door, having a major chinwag, and managing to block the door, plus access to the swipe device!

I get irrationally wound up by any text, Facebook status, Tweet or Boards post which begins with the phrase, "So I've just...", or "Right, so I was...". Couple that up with an overuse of the word "proceeded" to score some bonus trivial anger points.

"Right, so I was proceeding down the street when some randomer proceeded to...."

I'm annoyed that such a trivial thing annoys me.

Walking behind some slow cvnt on the path.

JUST enough room to overtake them on the inside between them and the wall.

Somehow, some way, they seem to sense me overtaking them and their body starts to drift slowly but steadily to the right. Listing aimlessly.

So just at the precise moment if my overtaking they cut me off.

Now we are standing ridiculously, uncomfortably close. I'm almost kissing the back of their head.

And they think IM the weird one??

GET THE FVCKING FVCK OUT OF THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have ever worked in retail, for example when packing a shelf customers always seem to stop at that particular shelf and stand there for aaaaaages :mad:

Actually, just retail in general..........:o

People who say Aldis and Leedles. As in "I'm going to Aldis/Leedles at lunchtime". Do you say "I'm going to Superquinns/Tescos/Spars/Centras?"

People who like a particular band or music, and complain that they have 'sold out' when they become popular or 'mainstream'*.

Your band is good, the popularity is validating that! You would hardly like a band just to be different, and not on the basis of their talent would you!? Oh wait....:rolleyes:

The term 'mainstream'. Fck off! :pac:

(just came across this thread, love it )

Damned electronic signature pads that couriers use...

If you've any sort of heavy handwriting at all, just forget about it!

Next time I'm just going to ask him to give me a damned delivery docket to sign! :mad:

I missed that the first time!

Then I remembered when I was his age, I was wearing beige flares with a beige muscle top thinking I was the business... and nearly sunk to the floor with embarrassment!

Ah Jaysus, beige flares.....Looked great for 30 mins, then between beer stains, and if it was raining, getting wet to the knees:D

Apparently they were introduced so that in the case of an accident, when it's possible that a baby seat could be thrown out of the car (apparently), the emergency services would know to go looking for a baby. Point totally defeated by the fact that most people leave them up permanently, regardless of whether the baby is actually in the car or not. Or, possibly that's all just an urban myth.

Baby on board signs still not as annoying as babe on board, though.

Well that I didn't know, interesting.

"Wiggers" -

Bunch of kids down the back of the bus talking like Eddie Murphy with tourettes or 2Pac inhaling helium.

Irritating little ratbags! :mad:

Watching "American Hustle" last night, and constantly being distracted by Amy Adam's delectable cleavage.

People who obsessively use hand sanitisers.

The **** stock guitar music on the TV3 "Events Guide" around 5:30 in the afternoon..
It says everything about bad broadcasting, I hear it most evenings as I arrive home and it annoys me.




oh, and have you seen the size of Twix bars recently ?

When your microwave only heats up half your dinner. One side is piping but the other size is still frozen solid

I would genuinely stab Harvey Norman in the throat if I ever encountered him.

I used to know the grandson of Norman about 10 years ago in Slovenia.
Nice guy but quite mouthy,

Are they not supposed to be on a spinning plate or something? I couldn't tell you now myself, I don't even know how to work the one we have here, I just see buttons, lots of buttons

Jesus, just in the space of this morning, in this thread alone I've got so much as -

"I can't sign my name with this fidgety electronic pen, have you any paper?"

"What are you wearing?"

"MTV has a lot to answer for!"

and now -

"I can't program a household electronic device".


I've officially morphed into my old man...

Impatient people in a busy carpark! :mad::mad:

Down at the shops earlier waiting to get into a spot as another person was leaving, and some guy behind me wouldn't wait 30 seconds to reverse out of his spot and drove right into the back of my car...... eeejit!! :mad::mad:

Beeped and jumped out the car and he was still reversing.... had to bang on his window to make him stop and he just looked at me bewildered.

There was no (visible atleast) damage because he was going so slow... and it was wet.

I just saw an Easter ad on tv. It's fricking January, bugger off with your happy Easter ad:mad:

Having to take annual leave from work so myself and my OH can go to the cinema to see Wolf of Wall Street. One of the many downsides of having 3 kids under the age of 5!!
