Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

I won't even start my rant about noisy eaters because I'll find it hard to stop.

Another thing that shouldn't annoy me too much but drives me mad is when people use "literally" when meaning "metaphorically". I can be having a good conversation with someone and then they say "I literally died!", and I have to hold myself back from saying anything because I would come across as a p****.

It shouldn't bother me but I can't help it!

When you're walking along the path and there is someone coming towards you. Normally I dont bother looking at them as I am inherently and thoroughly uninterested in human beings but on the rare occasion that I do - the fuuckers are already looking at me! Have you nothing better to look at like?

That's why I like sunglasses I feel like I'm hiding. If they look but keep their mouth shut it's grand. It's all the crap that's mentioned in the "Being Shouted at in the Street" thread that has my blood boiling.

Urgh yeah! Even when its not sleazy it's irritating. Some people are just so...pass remarkable! Was walking home from work yesterday and carrying a box of dog food and this idiot guy walking past looked at them and said, "cornflakes!" - I wasn't bothered wasting any energy insulting him or telling him to fuuck off but what an absolutely utterly pointless waste. We both know it's dog food not cornflakes and we both know it's not funny to pretend you think they are. Just....feck off

Noooooo, yum is how you describe something delicious. "om nom nom" is the sound of rapidly gorging on the yummy thing.

No, om nom nom is the latest buzz terminology adopted by online users that will be overused for about 3 months and then discarded.

Why do people, usually strangers, feel the need to comment on sunglasses? It's not an issue in the Summer, but I wear them all year round and it fcuking annoys me when I get comments like 'you're very optomistic' fcuk right off with ye, and get a life:mad:

I never really post photos of myself on Facebook but I was out on Sunday night and a friend posted up a photo of me, that wasnt completely horrific, so I let myself be tagged in it.


Next thing I get a comment from this outrageous simpleton "you look great congrats". Wtf?
1 - why are you congratulating me?
2 - of course I look great no need to sound so surprised.

Just out of curiosity, why do you wear them all year round?

One of my mates is a vain fcuker and wears them all year round for no reason other than wanting to look cool, and he come off looking like a douche most of the year in cloudy Dublin.

Some people are photo-sensitive. I can be when I wear contacts and sometimes find myself squinting and trying to block the sun on a relatively overcast day. Keep reminding myself to get sunglassees but like that, expect that Irish people with their always watching others will think look at her who does she think she is :P

Can you get darkened contacts? That seems like it should be a thing. I'm starting a new business if not.

Dont know. You can get coloured ones for cosmetic reasons alright, but I actually wear them for prescription.

My eyes are sensitive to light and it gives me a headache if I don't wear sunglasses. You still get days in Winter when there's a lot of glare from the sun. Why does it bother people so much when others wear sunglasses. I like wearing them and I would even if I didn't need them. They're also great for deterring strangers trying to chat to you on buses.

Actually I suppose it wouldn't be very practical, you'd need to buy a set of clear ones and a set of darkened ones and then swap them out every time you went in or out of doors.

Mal-Adjusted

A trivial thing that annoys me is the sheer laziness of tv/film writing lately. A character almost always falls into a very rigid stereotype so if it's a good looking girl, she will only ever be a girl-next-door type or a slutty bimbo. If a guy likes sci-fi he has to be an exaggerated nerd and completely oblivious of social norms. (seriously, fat gut from die-hard 4.0, why should you expect a random stranger to know who Boba Fett is?) I had the grave misfortune to watch an episode of Hollyoaks with my sister yesterday. every single person on the show was a walking caricature that had a personality that could be defined by a single sentence.

Is this a recent thing or has writing always been this lazy?

I had a prescription windscreen fitted to my last car, it was brilliant.....until I tried to sell the car:D

Bushy beards on young lads. Now I've never been a fan of beards, especially the bushier unkempt looking ones, but there seems to be an epidemic of bushy beards among a lot of the lads in the 18 to 25 age bracket. Lads I'm going to give ye a wake up call, it looks ridiculous and messy and very very very few women/young wans want to get anywhere near them.
