    Christmas jumper day in work - it's not fun, it's just silly. All the suits still walk around like they have a metre stick wedged up their arse even when the suit jacket is replaced by a poor quality novelty jumper.

    Pffffft
    Christmas jumpers. Ridiculous grownups trying to be kids again. We could have fed every starving child in the world for a week* with the amount of money we waste on christmas f.ucking jumpers.

    *proper stats sourced directly from my head :P

    Gowls on the wireless blathering on about donating cows to Africa. "Did you know that an African cow produces one gallon of milk, whereas an Irish cow produces 20??" That's right yes, a healthy Holstein Friesian in Tipperary, you know, the heart of the Golden Vale with the chalky soil and the rain and the turn-around-for-five-minutes-and-you've-got-two-feet-of-meadow. Gobsheens! :pac:

    Pushy people, who have problems taking orders from someone younger than them. I have a girl here who is constantly trying to push sales and extra treatments on clients. I've told her not to do it. I don't want this salon to known as being pushy. Yet today, we had a client who had 3 things booked in for this morning, then she cancelled two things and kept one thing. Today, even though that lady wasn't in with her, she went over and asked her if she'd like to have the treatments that she cancelled.

    Another lady was in about two weeks ago, had stuff done and this girl was trying to push products on her. The girl told her twice she was on a budget. Then she said to get her boyfriend to buy them for christmas. That lady hasn't been back since:

    How many times do people need to be told?

    Yeah, I was wondering about that. If you bring a well-bred, well fed, healthy young Irish cow, and you stick it on the edge of the Kalahari, I would be surprised if it lived, never mind continued to produce twenty times more milk that the African cow..

    Can I get a hair cut?

    If this gal tries and sells me anything I'll give her a swift left.

    That idiot water protest group paying for members of a Detroit water protest group to fly to Ireland. What the actual fcuk is that about? There are homeless people on the streets of this country. There are people living in abject poverty and the absolute cnuts organising these protests in Dublin think it's a fcuking great idea to bring some random strangers to Ireland for a jolly. I didn't think I could have any less respect for them until they pulled that stunt. Pricks.:mad:

    What's a "MUA", is it like a Chungwan, or is it more of a Ditch-Pig?? :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    "Makeup Artist". Chungwans is right

    People who pat me on the head... I'm 4'11'' and its annoying.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,960 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    Men with facial hair constantly stroking it.
    Grown men on pedal bikes cycling with no hands, what focking age are ya?
    People whining non stop about being sick.
    Chewing gum like a retard.

    I'm all for the water protests etc and would love if IW was enda's downfall but there is a photo in a newspaper beginning with H of a protestor who was charged with assault and I swear, the self-righteous f.uckin gob on her makes me twitch with annoyance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,387 ✭✭✭eisenberg1


    People who say "yeah" all the time.

    "You go down there, yeah, turn left, yeah, cross the road yeah, it's on the right, yeah, you can't miss it, yeah, she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah...."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,572 ✭✭✭Colser


    Yeah..I know what ya mean like...:D

    Or people who keep checking in to make sure you are still listening, constantly stopping to say "right?" in between every sentence and you have to give some form of verbal assurance. Ignoring them doesn't work. They will just panic and start saying, "hello? hello?! Can you hear me?!". F.uckers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,468 ✭✭✭✭OldNotWIse


    Protestors with masking tape on their mouths that say, "I can't breathe". Again, I support their cause, but it's the incorrectness that annoys me. They can breathe, unless they don't have noses.

    ONW - fruit (for some reason pineapple and grapes in particular) is amazing for hangovers!


    It's annoying how absolutely everything's making me feel sick lately. I eat, I'm sick, then I'm okay. Last night when the OH collected me from train, we went for food. I wasn't that hungry so I only had shredded chicken no chips or rice or anything. When we were about to leave I felt horrid nauseous, and then the waiter brought sweet and sour something to another table and I thought I was going to retch right there on the spot. I barely made it to the bathroom. I've never thought sweet and sour could smell so strong it was disgusting.

    and what was even more annoying was some bitch came to use the toilet (there's only one in this Chinese) and she obviously knew I was in there because I had the tap running when I was sick so nobody would hear, and then she started rattling on the handle, and then as I was washing my hands and all, I could hear her clearing her throat with those "hurry up" coughs.

    Ffs I wouldn't mind if I was ages in there I was literally only in there a few seconds before she arrived

    Any chance you could be up the duff? Your story sounds very familiar to this pregnant puker. :D

    I've had to puke all over Dublin - anytime I've had an emergency and had to puke anyway in public (I carry bags with me) you can just feel people tutting and staring thinking look at that hungover woman puking in public. It's a disgrace! Assholes


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    Definately not up the duff. I'm just fairly squeamish and very picky and I think just lately I've been turning myself off food.

    Dead animals rotting inside me.
    Contaminated food, with mouses tails in it.
    Foods that look like bodily fluids.
    Food that needs fertiliser (ie shi.t) to grow.

    Too much time to think about gross scenarios but I'll be damned if I could keep anything down

    School outings to shopping centres for kids to fundraise:mad: Now, this is something that really fcuks me off. Today the guards were supervising a group of primary school kids doing some sort of sponsored cycle, a couple of hundred metres away at the local shopping centre there was a frigging school outing from one of the secondary schools of teenagers collecting for yet another charity.

    Hate how my phone heats up so quickly after just a few minutes of usage.

    Women stumbling around the place like a newborn calf in a pair of heels.
    Seriously, keep your back straight, stick out your bum and walk down that street like you own it. It's not rocket science. See all these wans clinging onto people/railings as they wobble down the street. You look ridiculous. If you can't master it, wear shoes you can walk in. It will look much better.


    Bitches be trippin, quite literally


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,768 ✭✭✭✭tomwaterford

    The hype about weather in Ireland and the UK, although the 24hr news channels and tabloids have to take a lot of the blame here.

    You'd think the last couple of days was the beginning of the end of the world!

    They even introduced a brand new term "weather bomb", that was never used before. OK so it was windy, but not a patch on a couple of years ago. And dramatic headlines like "freezing temps to plunge to -4C". -4 !! Jez, the Scandanavians must laugh at us, we panic at -4.
