Trivial things that annoy you Part 43

mickydoomsux

The tendency of the Irish population/media to use children as the ultimate argument-winner.

"You can't charge people for water, what about families with kids!"

"Property tax is immoral, how will people feed their kids"

"His death was tragic, he has two kids"

Having kids is your choice, they are your responsibility up to and including any expenses incurred. Merely carrying out a biological function shouldn't elevate you above the rest of us and give you special status.

I took a dump this morning. Worship me.

Took the kids to a coffee shop today for a quick refreshment break. They have been eating out in appropriate places since they were tiny and it has been drilled into them how to behave appropriately. We were minding our own business when some total knob jockey and his companion were shown to the table next to us. He sits down, clocks the kids and immediately starts complainly loudly to his companion about having to sit beside a table with children and throwing dirty looks our way. They were genuinely being as good as gold. I was having none of it and decided to call him out on it and asked that he please move as I didn't want my kids near someone as rude and unmannerly as him!! He moves, and then spends the rest of his lunch roaring into a mobile phone loud enough that other people were turning to stare, making more of a disruption than my three kids together and completely ignoring the poor woman he was dining with. The ironing!!!

Oooh the ironing alright!!!

All jokes aside i hate pigs like that! Some people are just pure obnoxious pigs, i hate these people!

No, because they've just said they can't make it before 8. Why would you even consider 7 as an option after they'd just said that?

Cause its a madey uppey scenario, like in the bit where it says this is a made up example.


The general rant is about people who dont confirm that important details are now being agreed on.

Here I present another fictional account of similar buffoonerie.

A: Your computer back up and running ?
B: Yep.
A: Let me know by 4 if you dont get the massively important file Im about to send.

(Normal non-'challenged' person at this point: Ok will do)

*B: ............





A to self: is this 'challenged individual' having computer problems again or just simply ignoring me, have I deeply offended him, is he overly busy, should I contact him again, or is that nagging ??

Person C to the A: No I was emailing him just a minute ago, his computers fine

A to the self: I know I should complain about this, but to who ?




*B's motivations in this case perplex me. Is it the case that B has merely not absorbed the concept of basic communication as per the Dougal dropping the phone example offered.

Is it a mild case of alzheimers, autism or some trace of aspergers.

Was B raised in some monastic setting where communication should be kept to a minimum.

Perhaps B wants to blatantly insult me but lacks the means to piss in my face over the internet.

Is this a form of psychological torture ? some kind of mind game where I chase B around like some ass servant anxiously waiting on his hallowed answer.



Or is this just part of our culture, is there a kind of people out there who leave the tv on and just walk out of the house without closing the door, walk to the shop, grab some food, throw the right money at the cashier, walk back in the open door, cook the food and leave the stove on, eat the food and leave the plate on the table, walk into the bathroom whip it out, piss, and leave it hanging out of their fly, talk on the phone and then just drop it on the ground when they get bored, go to bed in their clothes, wake up fully clothed, walk out the front door without closing it and get into the car they left still running outside their house, into work, computer still running, then they go about their day half communicating, back into their still running car with its open door parked in the middle of the road, right back to their still switched on tv.



I think this might be the case, I'll let you know by 6 if thats ok.

There's a surcharge of 5c per PM, I'm saving up for the AH beers...

The rate I'm going, looks like all I'll be able to afford is a tap water with a dash of lime cordial

Yeah on that note Czarcasm, while I appreciate the effort you go to, I'd like to unsubscribe. Your constant slutty utterances are keeping my inbox full and I fear I may be missing out on a wider variety of... materials.

Parents who bring children who can't even eat solids to restaurants, I don't mean cafes, I mean proper restaurants with table service etc.
We went for lunch earlier and there was a couple next to us with a baby in a pram, we didn't see the baby until it started screaming and making all that racket that babies make. The couple kept saying "aw are your gums at you?" YES, you read that right. A teething baby in a restaurant. WTF.

In a hotel in Turkey - haven't eaten in 6 hours. I ask reception guy to order a pepperoni pizza and water.
I got coca cola and a pizza with pepperoni... and peppers, olives, sweetcorn etc. Loads of sh*t I don't eat.
Rang reception to sort it out - Domino's blame him and won't change it! Reception guy offers to pay out of his own pocket but I can't make him do that.
F*cking **** mother******!!
F*cking starving and waiting to pay for my pizza again!

Still in work. On a bank holiday Friday. This annoys me.

People who don't pick up their dog's poop. If I could pick up after my great dane (sometimes it took 2 bags) then you can pick up after your fooking terrier!!

Actually, this might be more than a trivial annoyance.

Or those that go through the bother of putting the stuff into a bag but then just ditch the bag in a bush - wtf?
