AFAIK when you pull the lever filling petrol its supposed to lock into place and stay filling so you could walk around/do something else (handy for jeeps/large petrol tanks etc)
and you just return then to stop it when its getting full

That's it - next time you pump gas, look at the little loose bit by the trigger which probably just rattles limply.

Burglar alarms. Am I (or anyone else within earshot) really supposed to care that one of my neighbours' houses is (almost certainly not) getting robbed right now?

Edit: Well, somebody cares... a Garda car has just arrived.

People who have never tried a certain food before, and fair play to them for giving it a go and all, but they freakin' sniff it before they try it. It is vile carry on. Just eat it or don't. Horrible, horrible cretins.

You're standing on a fairly busy Luas, everyone minding there own business, generally looking out the window and the majority facing the direction the tram is going and some absolute billiard ball gets on, stands in the opposite direction to that which the tram is travelling, therefore facing everyone else and proceeds to start staring people out of it and just generally making their presence felt. They then might start make a loud phone call, or maybe play a song on their phone for us all to delight in, or start hollering up the tram to some of their buddies who are sitting elsewhere, before making their way up to them. I realise that this is pretty specific but I just know you know the type!!

Why is it the man's job to put the toilet seat down when finished ?

Why can't women put the seat down before they start

We are all supposed to put the seat back down, followed by the lid.:D

I like sniffing food, especially new (to me) dishes - it's all part of the gastronomic experience, innit? Aroma, bouquet an' shít. Or it could be just the wolf in me.

Half the taste is in the smell!

Those flimsy things like pop up tents or kids' play houses that are made of that thin bendy metal.

They pop up into shape in a second, but take a f**king eternity to bend/fold/force back into the case.

Having to wash my son's tea cup because he is too fecking lazy to do it himself.

I'm annoyed that I stayed up so late watching tv, now I'm all achey from sleeping badly. But we watched the US pilot of Twin Peaks, I'd forgotten how weird that series was. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. I cringed looking at the clothes and especially her double breasted denim jacket, I had 1 that was almost identical back then:o

I hear ya! I don't mind if he puts a cup in the sink after I cleaned the kitchen but would it kill him to take the 2 minutes to wash it out and put it in the rack to dry?

I get annoyed (a lot) when I've cleaned the bathroom and he wanders in and messes it up right afterwards with band-aid wrappers and used qtips that somehow end up on the counter and not in the trash can.

People wearing thick black tights. It's August, ffs.

Although the winner was yesterday, when I saw a girl in black tights AND knee-high boots. What the hell does she wear in Winter, Under Armour and ski boots???

The converse is young fellas in the depths of winter wearing gloves but no jacket. If it's cold enough for gloves, it's clearly cold enough to warrant wearing something over your Adidas jumpers, dumbasses!

I wish I could but he helps me with a few things I can no longer do for myself due to mobility issues.

I often see teenagers walking through a blizzard with their coats open in the winter.

Idiots.

Or the gobshites schlepping around in two feet of snow in their Ugg boots in 2010.

Annoying trivial bit is looking on Amazon for a Winter duvet. We had a king size feather one that we loved. Not trivial bit, actually horrifying bit, is that we didn't realise that many of the feather duvets are made from feathers plucked from live birds. Never ever buying a feather duvet again.

You're my hero of the day

I wish more people knew of the horror.

Dear person responsible for the timetables and scheduling drivers' breaks,

I am very certain that your backside hasn't had the pleasure of sitting on a bus seat covered in questionable stains, that you haven't been standing on a bus stop wondering about the parallel universe where your bus arrives on time, gazing at the marvellous digital screen proclaiming that the bus will be there in 2 minutes only to realise that on average 2 minutes of DB time equals 8 minutes of REAL time.

And when that big metal beast on wheels finally arrives do you think it's over? That you just get on board and enjoy the ride?? Oh no, no no no. Very often it feels like being stuck in the Radiohead song. If you manage to avoid potential bus buddies, creeps/weirdos/loonies, smellies and extremely large people (they usually collapse on the seat not taking you into an account at all, which results in your little self being sort of slapped against the window and almost crushed.) you could possibly get on just fine. But then YOU enter the scene. The invisible power that screws everyone over.

The change of a driver happening in the rush hour, resulting in me (and others) starting the day with frustration, calling my boss letting him know that I'll be late. Again. Are you for real!? Does common sense not apply to you at all?????

I don't know when it will happen but there will be a day when I won't be dependent on your services anymore and when that day comes you should receive a package. It will contain a model of a blue & yellow double-decker that you can shove up where the sun doesn't shine!

Beware, karma's a bitch, she'll get you eventually.

Sincerely,
Very annoyed czechlin

I think some people labour under the misapprehension that they're like Inuit reindeer-skin boots for tromping across the vast tundras of Nunavut and not an overpriced, stupid-looking fashion accessory for overpriced, stupid-looking teenagers. :pac:
