Trivial things that annoy you Part 43

This is where the attitude of entitlement comes from. It's just common courtesy to stand aside and let someone pass, but common courtesy seems to be sadly lacking these days. I see it when I'm out walking, you get a couple of men or women walking and they will not let you pass. I end up bumping arms with them as I'm not going to walk out in the road because they're too ignorant to stand aside and let me share the footpath.:mad:

These days, on encountering three fat-arsed bints walking three-across the pavement jabbering and wobbling and refusing to budge, I do exactly what I would do in a car - stop, and wait for them to maneuver around me while glaring at them. :pac:

I live about ten minutes walk from the school. This morning we were running late so my children were running ahead of me, we got stuck behind this man and his children who were walking really slow and blocking the footpath. He knew we were behind him but wouldn't move which was fine so when the path widened myself and the kids ran around him. He started to shout "ah go on you can run faster then that" and there were a few other things said. I turned around and told him not to be so smart, he really pissed me off:(

What an árse! He's probably some hen-pecked little yoke who was píssed 'cause he couldn't get his morning wood and then his car broke down and then his fat wife yelled at him to not forget the toilet paper on the way home from getting his corns scraped at the clinic

You'd be doing them a favour by letting them run into a trolley. Not being careful by looking where you are going means pain. Letting them learn by making mistakes, etc. Just make sure you record and put it on youtube for the rest of us though

Maybe we should be allowed personalise our trolley. Imagine adding blades to the wheels, the same as chariots of old.:D

Feeling lazy and lethargic. I've got an outpatient appointment in Limerick next week and I also need my hair done next week. Seeing as my hairdresser is in Limerick I'm tempted to make the appointment for the same day, but, if the clinic runs over I could be there for 2 hours and end up having to cancel the haircut, if it takes less time than I think I could be hanging around the city centre for a couple of hours. I don't really want to go to Limerick 2 days in a row, but it looks like I'm going to have to. Nothing against Limerick, I'm just not a shopping enthusiast.

My mother had a phrase for this which i find myself using from time to time, "lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine"

Also kind of funny how this popped on the same day as people complaining about kids running rampant in shops

I actually tried that one day. I stopped and one of the bitches walked right into me, then she looked at me as if it was my fault.

An elbow into the temple is too good for some of these thick cunnoxes.

I prefer "running late because you have kids and you're not psychic or perfect does not justify someone else being a miserable, passive-aggressive pavement hogging bástard who thinks its ok to shout smart comments at children as they try to get to school"

Well yeah, i know that "RLBYHKAYNPOPDNJSEBAMPAPHBWTIOTSSCACATTTGTS" is the more popular way of saying it in the country, but that's the beauty of this island and all it's inhabitants, we take age old traditions and they get changed ever so slightly based on the ancient irish clan that ruled in the region. I believe RLBYHKAYNPOPDNJSEBAMPAPHBWTIOTSSCACATTTGTS originated with the McDonnaghs

We didn't make any comments nor did we try to rush him, we just ran around him minding our own business. I was complaining about the rude fecker making comments.

TA: people who blame others for "not getting" their joke rather than accept that it just wasn't funny.

I wouldn't be a slave to fashion, and any port in a storm and all that. But just because the weather gets a little colder, no excuse to put a tea cosy on your head........in the last couple of days I have seen some of the most idiotic hats on people. Especially the attention seeking "zaney" types.....you are not hilarious, you just look like a moron.

Back on topic: I hate Mondays and Tuesdays as I don't get paid DA until Wednesday. It's mildly annoying as I'm usually broke by Sunday but right now, I have exactly €4 to my name. I really need to manage my money better.
Also, I have a ton of books piling up on my desk that I haven't read and I'm stuck as what to pick up! Horns or Woman In The Making? I don't have the focus to juggle two books at once! ARGLE!

Fcuks sake, Monday evening viewing from RTE1 is a Nationwide episode focusing on a Daniel O'Donnell fan I heard mention on Morning Edition that he and his wife are on the cover of the current RTE Guide. I haven't bought that rag for years, the same faces month in month out.

The Christmas edition cover is always cringeworthy. Usually Pat Shortt, Tubs, Miriam, Joe Duffy et al. in reindeer jumpers around the Christmas tree...

And don't forget twelve pages of Mrs. Allen with her Christmas bisha busher!

This. I get paid on Wednesdays, and you can be sure that Tuesday night, I spend the entire evening looking at stuff online, creating wish lists, so that at 12 am, when my wages goes into my account, I can just send it all to checkout. So then, I have all these lovely clothes and too poor to go anywhere to wear them. It's just a bad habit I need to break, boredom and a lack of a sense of reality. I know this so just applying it seems to be the problem. It feels like an addiction, the anticipation waiting for my parcel to arrive. Even if it's only just one thing it's something to look forward to.

Dopey bints at the pool who insist on swimming in lanes other than the slow lane with a stroke that looks like an animal in its death throes, then screaming at people and calling *them* rude for being faster than her and wanting to pass.

I wonder can we import all the driving speed limit/goal/undertaking/overtaking/lanehogging TA's and apply them en masse to swimming lane etiquette?

Does a pool have an overtaking lane?

The silly b.itch beside me on the LUAS this morning who snotted and back-hacked her way to the city centre. Not a f.ucking tissue or apology in sight. Ended up practically hanging out of the seat onto the aisle to get away from her. Then some snotty, sneezing kids made their way into the aisle so I had to move back in lest I look like a weirdo. The bint continued snortling her merry way along. The f.ucking ebola express.










The irony was not lost on me at her stop when she stood up to go past and said, "excuse me"

I inadvertantly ate something with a bit of anchony on it last Friday and I still feel like I can taste it every time I eat and drink something. Scarred for life!

I'm not sure where you trivally annoyed people stand on this but I was in McDonalds last night and absolutely flabbergasted at the amount of people who eat and head off leaving their empty wrappers on the table rather than gather them up and pop them in the bin on their way out. We were always taught to clear up after ourselves in places like that

take a look at the next time you walk up/off a plane in Dublin Airport and the mess people leave after them, especially on a Ryanair plane.

you'd swear they are flying pigs into the country every day.

Spending 30 minutes trying to figure out why I couldn't save things to a 32gb pen drive I just found in the office only find out it is a 32mb. When I looked in the box it came in there was a letter dated march 2005 saying you are being rewarded for being a loyal customer.



Ps anyone want a 32mb pen drive.

When people say you have two choices - NO! You have one choice of two options.
People who say on accident - it's by accident ffs!

I used to say the same but then I went to look it up and the dictionary says you can actually have two choices. Bit of a mental readjustment there
