    When you buy a can of soda and the person at the counter touches the part of the can that you drink from with their filthy hands and then you have to wash it under a tap

    It's probably had rats and other vermin running around on it before that.

    I have a friend who does this. I'm always baffled by it. She stands there for a lifetime taking money out of one account and putting it into another. They are one of those trust fundy/pensiony/mortgagey/credit uniony families though. I dont know what the word is! :o I know what I mean but I accept that I'm the only one who does!

    edit: you know the new conservatory every year kind. Ah feck I give up. I dont know what the word is :(

    Crisps that promote themselves on having 'just 99 calories' per bag.
    That's because there's hardly any crisps in the feckin thing!!
    I'd need 3 bags of Treble Crunch each lunchtime...

    People wanting me to sign pointless petitions. There was a group of 6, yes 6 people in my local shopping centre this morning with petitions against water charges. Who the fcuk do they think they're kidding and where do they get off with this bullsh*t? Pay your water charge or don't, I don't give a sh*t, but they can sign as many fricking petitions as they want but it won't change anything.

    The looks I got when I politely said no, Jesus, it made me wish I'd skipped being polite and just told them to fcuk off:mad:

    I have no idea what that means (particularly because I've never watched Game Of Thrones), but any guy wearing any of those slogan tee shirts like "FBI- Female Body Inspector", yeah?

    They need a good kick in the stones. It was acceptable in the 80's when Frankie said Relax, but now? No.

    FBI-Female Body Inspector? Great! Go check if your Granny has just **** herself would you? There's a good lad. ;)

    Is it just me or has this thread taken on a bit of a toilet theme in the last few pages? :pac:

    Would you look at that, you took the wrods right out of my mouth :pac: I must be a bad judge of character because I have another friend who didnt invite me to her wedding so she could save 40 euro or whatever it would have cost to have me there. That's the price of a quarter of a century of friendship apparently - forty euro.

    That's definitely one for the stingy thread, or the current "buy my webbing present" thread!

    Actually I didn't get her anything. Sent her a text to tell her how hurt I was and have heard nothing from her since. :( The parents sent down 6 waterford crystal glasses and didnt even get a thank you text.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,076 ✭✭✭✭Czarcasm


    Five to five on a Friday evening and people calling looking for cheques that I was given to believe were sent out weeks ago! I don't know who's worse, the person whose responsibility it was to send out the cheques, or the person who left it till five to five on a Friday three weeks later to say they still hadn't got the bloody cheque!

    Fcuking cheques, honestly, archaic, painful and slow, actually bean counters in general! After putting me in foul humour now! :mad:

    Any t-shirt or mug etc that starts with "Keep Calm". It makes me the very opposite.

    I bought a mug in early December - "Keep calm it's only Christmas".

    I thought it was very apt, considering the amount of running around people do. Spend spend spend, and to hell with the consequences! Shur put it on the credit card and worry about it later!

    Fookin Christmas. Annoys me. Some aspects of it anyway..Some people take it waaay to seriously.

    Very very very trivial but if I post it here, it will stop me from saying something that I shouldn't. Being cc'd on an email when the email is meant for me, annoys me SO much. Was meant to meet up with two friends lately. One of them was cancelling the arrangement, (no hassle), but instead of just emailing both of us , she emailed the other person and cc'd me. Aaaargh, I know it's trivial!
