Possibly posted previously but when travelling on an escalator and you reach the top/bottom of it and as the person in front of you steps off it they just stop and look around blocking everyone and causing you to accidentally push them really hard out of the way

Irish people in general on escalators - why the fûck can't you all just stand to one side? It's like slalom skiing trying to navigate one if you're in a rush.

I hate escalators. I get some panic on me stepping on to them, and I'm worse getting off in case whoever is in front of me doesn't get off quickly and there's a pile up. I remember as a child asking another child I met how she had hurt her leg, it was badly mangled. She said it had got caught in an escslator, so I think that's where it came from.
But what TA's me the most are parents who bring babies on escalators in buggies. WT actual F ??

Some places only have escalators, so what are you supposed to do? I am sure myself and Mrs E must have done this when the kids were buggy age.

Just asking in the nicest way...

Take the baby out of the buggy, roll them up in a ball, and imagine the people at the bottom of the stairs are a pack of skittles

I hate escalators myself because I can never get my footing right, especially on those ones that travel slow, but as soon as you step on them they speed up and you risk doing the splits! :mad:

I don't know eisenberg! I'd probably avoid those places with a buggy personally. They put the fear of God in me on escalators , I always picture them getting stuck, and carnage ensuing as people get dragged into the mechanics of the escalator !

Potential Underachiever

I'm sure every possible moan has been covered at this stage but I will repeat one anyway....

Chuggers, fcking chuggers standing outside banks and local shops pi$$ me off something shocking.

Starlings - I know they're probably hungry too but they arrive in numbers and bully the small birds away from the feeders and eat voraciously

Can't feel the car pedals properly when wearing my gym trainers.

Body lotion that has 'shimmer'. More like an entire factory of glitter. I look like I fell off a Christmas tree. It doesnt even wash off properly.
Also, people who never answer their phone

Imagine if you stuck a baby's shoe in the gap, just to watch people's reaction:D

People who misinterpret reports or figures. For example more than half the wealth of the world is held by 1% of it's inhabitants. Now very crank is spouting how 1% of this country own all the wealth and 99% of us are struggling. When, in effect, most Irish people are among the 1%. Facts people facts. Stick to them.

Kids in restaurants who have drinks with straws, and they keep blowing down the straw to make bubbles in the glass. ****ing ayyyye, seriously, parents sitting there completely oblivious. I complain to my oh and he tells me I'm going to be one of those aul ones on Joe Duffy complaining about the youth of today. It annoys me he never gets why I'm so annoyed about things.

After making such a delish dinner (and intentionally making extra) and buying in plenty from the shop this morning, I've too many options for lunch tomorrow!

I want it all!!!

Almost 9:30 on a Monday morning and nobody has been TA'ed yet?

Perhaps all the usuals have missed their bus / car broke down / alarm didn't go off, and shall be along shortly

Public toilets with those annoying flush buttons. I used the bathroom then spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to get it to flush. You have to push the button in really far, which I can't do with these bad boys http://tinypic.com/r/64j6tz/8

Whats wrong with the handle you just push down eh

Reminds me of the time in Paris when I tried to use a public toilet. Never again. Some fancy f.ucking cubicle that "self cleanses" in between people. First, judging by the smell, it does in it's hole cleanse in between people. Second, the acrobatics one must engage in to actually get said toilet cleansed. Enter cubicle. Door won't close. Step outside again. Door closes. Door opens again before cleansing. Step inside. Door closes. Start unzipping.....door opens! Some stilly bint telling you to step in and out again. Step out. Toilet cleanses. Step back in..... left leg in...left leg out etc.

Wish I was a boy so I could do it behind a hedge! :P

Was his watch wrong or what excuse did he have? That's more then trivially annoying.

Ok while we're on the subject of grammar, where's the verb in either of your sentences?

People at me first thing on Monday. There should be laws against engaging someone before midday on a Monday. Seriously people f.uck off. You know when you're so irritable that someone asking you a question makes you feel like they are poking you with a stick? Urgh....

TA about having the mobile ring when I was in the bathroom. Undue stress.

Boom_Bap

The rage that is building up inside me, people posting on the FB page of someone who has passed away, people writing posts about someone who has passed away all to inflate thier f*cking egos and to get online sympathy.

I wouldn't want to be dying when it takes so long for my phone to power on. It drives me nuts. Then not remembering to take it off silent from the night before, and missing calls .
I had a shower this morning, and because I walk really quickly, I was pumping sweat by the time I got back up from the school.
Another TA, the myth that porridge fills you up. I had a massive bowl with fruit and nuts a half hour ago , and I'm fookin starving again now
