    a term often reserved for celebrities but do you have any specific demands or preferences in life that you
    insist are obliged by others?? and would you lose your Sh1t if they aren't?

    If you go to the effort to make me toast, cut it into triangles or don't bother at all.

    If you bring me a beer, never ever bring it in a glass.

    Put sugar in my coffee and a pox on your children.

    A pasta dish had better have cheese on top! If not then i wish a lifetime of itchy underwear for you.

    Do not disturb. Ever.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,791 ✭✭✭ash23


    Don't smoke in my house or my car. Or my presence preferably.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,452 ✭✭✭✭The_Valeyard


    I have my snickers, so that solves the problem.

    Cook for me and I'll love you forever*.







    *At least for the duration of the meal.

    That's the complete opposite to a diva demand.

    You demand a pox on my son while having coffee? Harsh.

    Close your f*cking mouth when you're eating close to me.

    That's my one and only demand.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 237 ✭✭Nucular Arms


    Cover your mouth when you cough.

    Had to give out to my mum recently about it, parents need discipline after all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,042 ✭✭✭zl1whqvjs75cdy


    If I'm at a friends house and they are offering coffee it needs to be good stuff. Preferably freshly ground beans. If someone puts a cup of that instant muck or nespresso ****e in front of me I won't drink it. I don't care if it's rude, it tastes like burnt water.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,554 ✭✭✭valoren


    I will not eat a scone unless it will have real butter, strawberry jam and FULL fat whipped cream.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 537 ✭✭✭clever user name


    If you put butter on any of my food it will promptly f**ked back at you!!

    Thanks

    Thou shalt not ****tify coffee with sugar.

    It is known.

    Why would you not want your beer in a glass?

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Don't talk to me in the morning...or at least don't expect me to interact with you until I've mentally woken up. Chatterboxes are most likely to suffer GBH before 9am in my company.

    I love going on walks but if im going out on a night out, I am not walking far, we can get a cab. I don't mind in the summer but in winter no way. Im not getting my hair messed up in the wind and rain.

    Its not really a diva demand, its just common sense or else its a waste of a blow dry :p

    We want the finest wines available to humanity. And we want them here, and we want them now!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,647 ✭✭✭lazybones32

    Beer is quite often best drank from the bottle it comes in...ice-cold. *gets Friday morning shakes*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,212 ✭✭✭libelula


    If I buy a paper/magazine/book, and you read or even open it before I do, then may god have mercy on you...

    I would rather a beer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 891 ✭✭✭redfacedbear


    You'd want to be a bloody good tea-maker if you expect me to drink a cup that you've made.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,794 ✭✭✭Aongus Von Bismarck


    I always sit facing out towards the window when dining in the restaurant in work, and would have no hesitation in asking my dining companion to swap seats if they had taken the seat facing the window.

    Facing out towards the window allows me to see the Frankfurt skyline. It reminds me of how far I've come and what I've achieved in my life. It's a view that inspires me to do my very best.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 251 ✭✭Your Superior


    On work days I insist on eating lunch alone. It is my time to relax, enjoy a pleasant meal and perhaps a gin and tonic, without interruption. My lunch must be delivered, if I'm eating in my office, between noon and 12.15pm, and still be hot. Not warm, hot.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,304 ✭✭✭Jon Stark


    If I get the stink of onions off someone I will tell them to remove themselves from my vicinity.

    That implies that it's ok to p*ss on your shoes as long as they don't tell you it's raining?

    My mam always said never to drink from a bottle because rats could have pissed on it. Is that an Irish mammy thing or is mine just crazy?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    If I'm eating my lunch at my work desk, that does not entitle you to "ask me a quick question". I didn't follow you round the shops on your lunch break to ask something "quickly".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,351 ✭✭✭NegativeCreep


    Don't talk to me when I'm reading or listening to music. You may wait until I'm finished.

    Don't ask to try my lunch and don't tell me how delicious it smells. I know its delicious, I made it.

    Don't stand too close to me or touch me either.

    The only time I can really be a cnut is in a reactive sense.

    I'm really bad at saying it right off the bat about the kind of things in this thread even if I feel them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 150 ✭✭mazwell


    Do not bring beans into my presence. If you must have beans, you must have them in your own time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,546 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    I like my beers cold and my homosexuals flaming...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,495 ✭✭✭✭eviltwin


    No one talk to me while I am in the bath, I don't care what is going on outside, no one disturbs me, that is my time


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,086 ✭✭✭TheBeardedLady


    I don't complain outwardly at all about stuff but you can expect me to be internally grumbling if I'm served **** coffee with lukewarm milk (and I'm not even talking instant here) or **** wine. Living here has spoiled me on that front. I used to be a real beer snob as well back in the day but that was knocked out of me since moving here as the beer is generally horrible.

    I've been known to lose it (in my mind) a bit for people arriving late as well. Even 5 minutes late and I'm cursing them under my breath. I'm stupidly punctual, so punctual I usually get to places 15 minutes early. I'm a bit of an unforgiving Nazi about this tbh.

    When I'm being served caviar I find it's an insult if not served on a mother of pearl spoon

    Being prompt and on time isn't diva like behaviour. It's good manners though, and to be commended. Few things annoy me more than tardiness. It's taking away from my time, an asset that we all have a limited and dwindling supply of.

    You're fast becoming my favourite poster.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭mad muffin


    Get me snickers and take out all the nuts. And don't you be getting me Mars bars and telling me, it's snickers sans nuts. Or you won't work in this town again!

    I am ALWAYS player 1.

    It's my console dammit..


    and you can have the crappy second controller too :D


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I'm full of preferences and neuroses but I try not impose them on anyone else. The big one is don't be late. You have ten minutes grace, then I walk. I won't make a big thing about it, but I won't make appointments with you again and you'll have to make the effort to come to me to see me on my terms. I'll put up with most things out of manners, but I won't put up with being left standing around. Also neither eat nor smoke in my car if you want to leave it and still be on good terms with me.

    I'd also prefer you gave me Barrys tea and not Lyons, but I'll let it go.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,990 ✭✭✭Cool_CM


    Give me a Weißbier glass with my Weißbier.
    Do not give me a half-pint glass.
    Do not give me ice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,145 ✭✭✭Katgurl


    Do not pick up my handbag and put it on the floor. If you want to sit down beside me then hand me my handbag. I would not take your jacket from the chair and throw it on the ground. Sometimes I put my handbag on the table. If it has spent time on the ground I can no longer put it on the table, I have to start again with a new handbag. I may as well put my trainers on the table. So instead of making me explain all this just don't put my mother-f***ing handbag on the ground please.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,297 ✭✭✭✭Jawgap


    when making tea the pot goes to the kettle - not the other way around.......

    I get the second cup out of the pot - not the first.

    .......and heaven protect the person who puts milk in my cup before the tea!
