Trivial things that annoy you Part 43

thunderdog

Trying to find my glasses in the morning time (Im pretty blind). I spent 20 mins today looking for them, all the while thinking I wish I had my glasses on so I could see where I was looking :rolleyes:

Found them eventually, turns out the cat had taken them...again

I spent €11 on new socks from M&S yesterday and within a few minutes of putting them on they had slipped down my leg and gathered at my ankle. Not impressed.

People who let the fold out seats on the Luas flip up really hard when you are sitting beside them. They have some velocity on them.

Or just people who sit on them during rush hour in general, wasting easily two standing spots per seat.

Rubberlegs

People who don't as much as put on their sidelights on a morning when it's raining badly. Does the fact that almost everyone else has their low beams on not give them a clue? So hard to see them when you are pulling out, and the rain is running down your wing mirrors:(

The way people all pile up at the door and refuse to move down the carriage.

I went through the boarding gate the other day in Dublin Airport and the
gangway was blocked by 6 people having decided that it was the best place to stop and wait for their friend.

This, oh this. I cannot believe the conditions I've seen lately where a good few people don't have a glimmer of a light on. It's madness! :eek:

agreed... solution: flash your lights at them aggressively.

someone did this to me once while i was crawling up a large hill. big car behind me flashing their lights, in daytime. me thinkin, slide on, just cos you're in a big car you want past! so i continued. flashed lights again...at this point there were cars parked on both sides of the street so i could do nowt. next thing, they put their police lights on.

what a pack of ****!

Att: All Car drivers

If is is dull/raining, i.e. low visibility, turn on your "little" lights

When it gets darker, turn on your headlights

And when it gets foggy, TURN ON YOUR FCUKING FOG LIGHTS!!!!


Thanks

Do you mean 'parking lights' when u say 'little lights'?:)

No, I meant little lights.

The rain has provoked the inevitable frenzy in my office. A cacophony of shrieks coming from the windows as they all gather together to engage in a mass peer out, followed by grumbling from desks as they provide a minute by minute commentary while glued to RTE Weather and the Daily Mail online

Vel

People with umbrellas up right over their faces so they can't see where they are going. They just happily trundle along hoping that they don't accidentally step in front of a car or collide with an oncoming pedestrian

Barely There

Women (I've never seen a man do this) who adopt an exaggerated arm swing motion when walking.

I was nearly ball-punched quite hard by a lady yesterday in the city centre when strolling about at lunchtime.

Nerdlingr

People coming towards you on the path, two maybe three abreast (usually a group of friends) and who wont move to let you pass. They'd rather you step off the path and out into traffic than step aside a little bit. I've practically shouldered a few people recently standing my ground and not being bullied out onto the road.
A small bit of consideration isnt too much to ask is it?

Irish people's fascination with Irish weather will never cease to fascinate me.

I was going into my sons Sr. Infants class today, parents were invited in to get involved in Maths Week.
I open the door to the room, walk in. My boy roars, "That's my DDAAAADDDYYYYYY, HE HAS A FAT BEEELLLLLYYYYYYYY".

Thanks son. No supper for you tonight....and possibly a salad for me.

I was in the chemist last week and one of my daughters picks up a packet of sanitary towels and announces loudly in front of various onlookers

'These are the nappies you wear Mummy'

"Oh we'll have to get our Brollies* out!"

*I hate this word

I could make allowances if cows were falling out of the sky, or hailstones made of acid but surely Irish people are used to that thing we call rain by now

"Get yer brollies out"

Sounds like something a stag party would chant in Temple Bar on a Saturday night:D

I'm one of those annoying people complaining its raining because I went out for lunch and my shoes filled up with water I had to go buy a new pair of shoes and shower off back at work, like a mankbag.


I'll be getting a nice sensible pair of shoes. Ecco, like my nana

lanos

girls on facebook saying I'm feeling down, i need a hug
one aquaintance who did this was immediately unfriended and ignored on the street

people who call pints cheeky scoops - Dubs think this is cute
