    Yep, I get that a lot of women like to breast feed but I don't need to see it. What do they want, a fcuking medal?:rolleyes:

    I looked it up, I'd never heard of it until now. All I can say is WTF?
    What's next?

    Telfies (selfies on the toilet) ?

    Brelfies. I didn't even know such a thing existed until 5 minutes ago, but once seen instantly annoyed.

    TA at how old I feel when I see slang words and have no clue what the mean and then have to google them :confused:

    Ah no, now you have explained to me what a Brelfie is!

    TA that I now know something that I did not need to know.

    Emails with attachments that seem to get stuck in limbo and don't hit your inbox instantly after being sent.
    Where the fupp are you?
    Is there some kind of interwebz customs where my attachments are being opening and poked??

    The ignorant a$shole in the petrol stattion this morning.
    I was parked in the service area, topped up air on my tyres and into the shop to get some coolant for the engine.
    I come out and there is a guy parked behind me so I cannot back out of my space.
    Behind him is another car that has finished at the pump but cant drive out because this d*ck is blocking her in.
    After about 8 minutes he appears and starts to put air in his tyres, the lady at the pump asks him to move first then look after what he needs to do. He responds angrily. At this point he hasn't seen me.
    I step out of the car, see him 'gulp' because I am much bigger than him, ask him to move...he didn't repond angrily to me. He then moved the car.
    So on top of being an ignorant pr*ck, he was quite the bully to the lady.

    It's turning into one of those days. One of our cats is at the vets and will be having an anaesthetic, I got home and put the tv on and there's some message I don't understand saying my tv is incompatible with something else I don't understand and to disconnect a hmdc thing, whatever that is:confused: It'll have to wait for Mr Pumpkinseeds to deal with.

    Picked up a Tesco free ad's magazine.

    Turn to page 2 and see an ad for Goodfella's Chocolate Brownie Dessert Pizza.

    It annoyed me that someone would actually think about eating such a thing.

    My husband was telling me about them this morning, we both thought it sounds disgusting but it'll probably be really popular with kids and students. :D I don't really have a sweet tooth, I prefer savoury things like crisps but I tried one of those Cadbury Puddles bars and it was vile. I only ate about a third of it because it made my teeth hurt.

    I'm annoyed that I dont have one (two) of these in front of me right now.

    I know it's been said before, but ignorant fcukers waiting t be served in shops while
    they are on their phones, especially those ear phoney things. You dont look important, you look
    like a fcuking bad mannered tool. And it is always some pointless sh1t they are jabbering on about,
    "Ok, half seven then, what ok, eight, yeah, sausages and cheese,ok then bye, bye, bye, bye bye"

    Dipsticks!!

    People who travel a lot.

    On facebook: Such and such is "Traveling from London to Dublin"

    "Can't wait to be back home with my besties"

    This person said the exact same thing a week ago when they were back, the person had only been in London for a week. This person posts one of these every two weeks.

    People who say 'Bestie' or 'Besties' annoy me tbh!

    Mmhmm there's like a template to "fitting in".

    It usually involves copy and paste. Examples..

    "Looking fab girls"
    "My besties xx"
    "U ok hun"
    "Well said " <--To any politician

    Brave new world

    People who do not decide what photos they want to print until they are in the chemist and spend 25 minutes flicking through them on their phone while you are waiting (im)patiently for your passport photos. Select them at home FFS.

    Then you have the "Oh you lookin fab in dat dress hun" when clearly said person does not look remotely "fab". In fact they look crap, crammed in to a dress clearly several sizes too small and looking like an overstuffed sausage.

    Getting a text "Call me its urgent"....and then calling to be asked some trivial question....

    Cashiers in the supermarket noticing I've put two bottles of wine on the conveyor belt and saying "Oh you know you get 25% off if you buy six bottles?", to which I reply: "Yeah, I saw that."
    Him: "So it's a good offer, isn't it? Better off buying four more."
    Me: "No, it's grand, thanks."
    Him: "Alright. Just makes sense to get the 25% off."
    NO!
    No it doesn't make sense to me.

    I only want to spend €16 on the wine. I don't want to spend more. Granted, I would get more and save some money, but I have a budget and I only ever buy two anyway.
    Don't badger me at the till!

    Almost going ar*e over t*t on a spillage in same shop (curry; the stench was incredible), and nobody had deigned to put a WET sign out, so I nearly broke my body.

    Don't make me come over there....:D I could Google it and then I could play around trying to sort it out but inevitably when I can't sort it out and Mr Pumpkinseeds asks me what I did I will have no idea what I did and will probably have buggered it up even more. It's come back on now, I turned it on and off a few times. It could be the Sky box or the tv, no idea which.

    There is an apple pie pizza dessert too, they look kinda wrong, but I'd give it a go!

    My annoyance today is that I picked up a pair of runners, and a pair of canvas summer shoes for the little one today , and they are too small. That's another trip into town now to exchange them. Though I'd say I'll be giving the runners back altogether, as she declared them "too stompy"??! I suppose that's what I get for not having her with me. I feckin hate going into the next town, and hate that our town doesn't have a proper shoe shop :(

    Shoulda banned him from the service station:-D

    TA eating popcorn and the salt finds it's way onto a cut on your finger.

    Hitting your toe off a door, or hitting off a solid counter.

    People finding and taking food you thought you'd successfully hidden.
    Playing two or more video games back to back and confusing the controls between them.

    Is it "Display does not support HDCP - Error" ? I've seen it before, if so.

    There's a thread about it here:

    Saw an ad on tv for that last night. I was convinced it was going to be some sort of piss-take right up until the point the ad finished and there was no evidence of it being a piss-take!
