I hate being left handed why are tin openers so hard to use.

You should buy an electric can opener We had one that my husband insisted would be 'really handy to have', it was used once, sat in the box for 6 months and then I gave it away.

airport.. you get near security and people in front decide to start mooching in their rucksack/case/ bag for their liquids, and then decide they might need a clear bag.. while the rest of us are prepared and ready to jet off, we are held up by some idiot..security should just ask them to get to back of the line till they are sorted!!!

As a badger and blade man I use a double edge razor

I also favour the badger, and if I am spoiling myself,aided by a damp teatowel popped in the microwave for a couple of minutes. But I am sick of being ripped off on the razor front by Gillette etc (ALDI do a razor that is not too bad and its cheap) but I may try the ol double edge again......I do remember almost cutting my own head off while using my fathers razor when I was about twelve.

Was recently in the airport and there was a particularly large queue for security. Given the queue, the staff constantly shouted instructions so that people would be ready when they got to the front.

Of course, we then had numerous people who were genuinely surprised that the had to take laptops out of their bags, take off shoes and generally do every single thing that they were told 20-30 times while they were in the queue. Sigh

Im a regular commuter, and it beggars belief, no matter how many times security personnel will shout out instructions to inform passengers of what to prepare, there are still people who seem to enjoy the fact of holding everyone up to a standstill, you even see security people getting agitated by it all, and you cant blame them, families waiting, kids crying, school groups...and JOE BLOGGS looking for his liquid..thats been in there for maybe last 5 years!!!

I really hate those photos of slimmed down celebrities and the usual accompanying blurb about the 'secret' of their amazing weight loss. Meh, secret my ass. It's got a lot to do with the personal trainer, live in chef who provides tasty calorie controlled food on demand and lipo. Whatever weightloss product they're advertising is bollOx. If everyone who is overweight had their wealth there'd be a lot fewer chunky people

The before and after shots are the worst. The before shot is them with poor posture, bad lighting, a bikini two sizes too small, unkempt hair and little or no makeup. In the after shot, they are tanned, hair and makeup done, standing correctly and photoshopped to high heaven.

Does my head in. There are recorded announcements at some airports, repeating the instructions, and still it goes on. Big surprise, have to remove belt etc, 'oh the toiletries have to be in a clear plastic bag'. Yep, that's what all those signs were about, as you approached...

Then you have the person who cant understand the 100ml rule, as he/she wants to bring through cans or bottles of alcohol.
I saw about a month ago, one passenger tell another to get a move on or leave, as there was an argument over a six pack of Budweiser, security wouldnt let it though so this guy decided he wanted a debate, much to the detriment of everyone else.. then it snowballed, to the point of the passenger meeting supervisors, with threat of police.. as everyone queueing behind anxious to just get moving...security have more patience then i give them credit for...

On a related, but different theme; people queuing to board the plane 10 or 15 minutes before the boarding actually commences. On a flight with allocated seats. Why?

Ah jaysus, travelling through Athlone and rest stopping in Longford? FFS. All you need now is to detour to Mullingar or somewhere in Cavan. :pac:

Isn't it annoying when people phrase their opinions as questions?

Some recent examples from AH:

• Do Irish people say 'sorry' too much?
• Is the Irish Independent the most right wing paper in the country?

I get the sense that phrasing the question in that way is an attempt to sway opinion, or at least get people to care about an issue that no-one would otherwise care about.

If you ask me whether Irish people say 'sorry' too much, my answer is "meh". Don't know, don't care, don't care that you appear to care. :cool:

If you don't care that's fine but I'ma post what I like anyways, so there. :mad:

And, I'm not even sorry.

And on arrival, they are standing up long long before they are going to be able to get off the plane. Why why why.

Similar thing to the sheeple who, having practically wet themselves to get through the boarding gate, and out onto the tarmac (no airbridge) there's a big queue to get up the steps to the aircraft. A few times, it's been chucking it down so I stand in out of the rain until the queue up to the aircraft door is clear. TWICE people have barged by me, all angry like, to go and queue in the pouring rain. I console myself by thinking they'll probably get a cold, maybe even the flu, and we'll be on our seperate ways before their symptoms manifest.

When people call their children Irish names but can't pronounce them properly.
Siobhan- ends up something like Shivan.
Sean- ends up something like Shan.
I have an English friend who's sister has an Irish name. I just want to correct her every time she says it. Also heard pronounced wrong in American programmes.

People always seem to want to touch me. Whether it is a hug or a hand on my arm (or where ever). It happens every darn time I go out.

Get yer damn hands off me people!!
