    When someone hands you their phone and the screen is all filthy and sticky.

    When you get a scratched DVD from Xtravision. Some people don't know how to handle their disks.

    Cling film that doesn't cling.

    Loud people on a Monday morning barking questions at you about your weekend.

    A new one, because I had an exam a couple of days ago. People in their twenties/thirties/forties etc behaving like junior cert. teens before exams.You know the kind. They were the ones using pink highlighters and flash cards in school, and in spite of rockin' the coolest stationery around, still managed to be intellectually thoroughly average :P Well, some of them were floating around before my exam :rolleyes: Standing around sh1teing on about how many questions they've prepared and what their predictions are about what will or wont "come up" and shouting each other down with how much they know. It's ridiculous. Whatever about doing it when you're in school and have very little say in the matter, why put yourself through all the evening lectures, fees etc if you're just going to p1ss away the possibility of actually learning something substantive? Twenty bullet points that they will vomit onto the page irrespective of what's actually asked...and then forget thirty seconds after leaving the exam. And then they judge you when they ask what you've learned and you look at them and say, "...the course?"

    W@nkers on the unbelievably crowded Yamanote line not taking a free seat which they are standing right in front of (and blocking off) because they're getting off the train soon, but it's so crowded that nobody else can squeeze past them to sit take it.

    Just sit down FFS, I'm being crushed here.

    Bandy thumbed knobs who cant handle smartphones. You try to show them something on the screen and they take the phone from you and then say, "oh, its gone off" :mad::mad:

    the use of the word "dick" on boards.ie

    it seems to be the officially sanctioned put-down for mods, rarely hear or see it used outside this site.

    Cnut is so much more expressive but it would upset the feminists.

    Kathryn Thomas's voice , really forced "you have lost three pounds " as she breaks the sound barrier , calm down ffs .

    Or the way they hit the button as if it actually means something in the grander scheme of things. And the way the chair turns really slowly. And Bressie (too cool for a surname), with his stupid pout. Haaaaaaaate The Voice!

    Just think yourself fortunate that you're not being groped. Or are you?

    I heard Dolores Cranberry telling some girl "I love yer clobber", and a couple of weeks ago I heard her tell someone "Good girl", really home with the downies:D

    Speaking of Ms. O'Riordan - this has been bugging me for years. What is it with that accent of hers, particularly when she sings? That is not a Limerick accent, I know Limerick accents and that isn't one. That is a West Country accent, as in James May/Worzel Gummidge:

    "Moi fahrther, moi faaahrther, 'E loiked me, ooh, 'e loiked me. Does anyone caaahre?"

    No.

    And as for that smug Egan guy:mad:, good TV would be if Bressie kicks the **** out him.

    The jacks at work or a bar being occupied. Standing around talking to others in the queue... Yeah we all know what we're here for.

    You actually watch that sh*t? I thought you were cool :cool:

    That has annoyed me, trivially.

    :pac:

    eisenberg is so cool he's fallen off the edge of cool and is now back somewhere in the vicinity of Duane Dibley. He is therefore immune to the de-cooling effects of shytte like The Voice. It's like the integer-wraparound of coolness. :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,029 ✭✭✭salacious crumb


    Duane Dibley!!!

    I just watched it once, my sister was on it:D

    But I do hate that and X factor and all the rest of that teenage mutant, dancing blind people on ice celebrity morris dancing crap shows. Especially the entrants who cant sing note, and are encouraged to go on it, and make a tool of themselves, it could fuuck you up for life.

    Bottom line is, I need to get out more.

    Duane Dibley!!!

    Who?

    When you go to the press to get a few Pringles to snack on, open it up and see someone has left just one crisp, or the crumbs.

    Grrrr :mad: :pac:

    People kissing, hugging and gazingly lovingly into each others' eyes in front of an audience eg on a crowded bus.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,387 ✭✭✭eisenberg1


    People staring at you when you are kissing/hugging someone on a bus

    Bit difficult to miss if they're right in front of you. You see people desperately trying to avert their eyes. It never looks pretty.
