Trivial things that annoy you part 479

It irritates me when books have different covers on them here than they do in America. I have read Stephen King since I was a teenager, and it drives me mad when a new book is being released with different covers. It always makes me feel a bit cheated

People who talk loudly at concerts! Was at Fleetwood Mac on Friday night. Right at the end during my favourite song 'Silver Springs' two annoying idiots who has been talking all night long started shouting talking. I told them to shut up twice, they didn't. They continued to shout so I pushed my way in front of them and said "if you can't shut the fcuk up I'll take your space and you stand back there". Stupid posers.

Read a story on some guy tried to suck out his farts with a vacuum and ended up sucking out part of his large intestine....TA how someone could be that stupid :-o

Reminds me of a guy who came into our Operating Theatre in London a few years back, with a foreign object lodged where the sun doesn't shine. He came in via A&E and claimed he sat down on a deodorant can, as you do. A quick review of his notes, revealed he was in 3 years earlier with the handle of a brush stuck in his ass. No doubt he was probably just brushing the floor backwards to save energy.

I rang eircom this morning because I rang them nearly two weeks ago and signed up for a tv package with them but still hadn't heard anything about a technician calling out. They apologised and told me that they'll send someone out by Friday, grand so. Then the internet stopped working and I rang them again, there's a problem with the line and it will take 2-3 days for a technician to fix it. My partner works from home and she needs an internet connection and I don't like typing out long messages on my phone. I can't watch netflix or the tv

So, good time to start my new book then

Went for a game of tennis today. I was playing well for the first time in ages. After winning a set, I got a blister on my hand and wasn't able to hold the racket. I lost the the next set, needless to say.

people (usually men) who whistle tunelessly through their teeth, actually people who whistle - makes me want to punch them in the throat

One of the speakers on my laptop hasn't worked in years and it's never bothered me. What's trivially annoying me now is that it's now intermittently working. The surprise increases in volume are not enjoyable.

I'm on the Camino at the moment. Not far from Burgos. I'm staying in a small village. Just now I was going to the bar for a drink and a Lycra wearing man was coming toward me. Demanded to know where the supermarket is. I pointed to it, but it was closed. "That's not a supermarket" he shouted. I said it is, its closed now there is a shutter over the door. I wish I'd added "tough fcuking shyt you snooze you lose you stupid cynt"....

Rather important people, such as Enda Kenny and Tspiras, using the term "grexit".

How hard is it to say "Greek Exit"?

The fact that I can't get a mobile adblocker so I'm forced to see that Conor McGregor ad everytime I watch a YouTube video on my phone.

was in easons and saw all these new tacky looking cartoon covers on the harry potter books, I have all the originals and they are the best. the newer ones are too kiddy and just appealing to a younger audience. I know its only cover art but they just looked really crap.

those lovehoney.com sex toy ads. ''it helped bring us closer together''. yeah i don't wanna know. I have to admire them blatantly advertising sex toys on tv though, that had to be a first. usually you cant even say ''tampon'' in advertisements.

****ing aul ones at the sandwich/deli counter. ''i'll have that, no that, not too much of that, no no no, not that, that as well please, just a little bit'' and picky people in general ahead of you in the queue.

Our main stereo at home has an internet radio function. I like rock music and so have it tuned in to a station called 'new york rock'. They play great tunes in fairness, but some of the adds are for sex toys.
There does me a mad dash to the mute button before little ears start asking questions!

I work hard to make sure my kids have manners, are polite, well behaved in public and all around good citizens! Things like saying 'please' and 'thank you', not pushing, waiting their turn for things etc.

And then I watch as my son queues up to get into his summer camp this morning and a number of little sh1tes come hurtling up, elbowing, pushing, trying to get in front of him and I wonder am I doing him a disservice by ensuring that he doesn't do things like push other children.

My 2 year old was climbing up some steps at the playground when some little brat, younger than her, but a big massive child came over and starting pulling at her so he could barge in front of her. I put my hand in front of him and told him to wait his turn and he just brushed me off and charged on through. And all the while his father is standing there watching with a half embarrassed/half proud face and gives me a little smile and a shrug of the shoulders when I glare at him. I mean, come on, its never to early to start teaching kids some basic manners.

Brats on scooters in shops/ supermarkets. Who ever thought it was a good idea to let their child roll around through the isles. It seriously makes me want to push them off their scooters, and smack the parents in their stupid faces with those damn scooters.

Yeah, i just got back from the local Lidl and there was a group of 3 kids sprinting around the shop trying to catch each other and they nearly ran straight into people on numerous occasions. Their planet-sized mother seemed to have more interest perusing the shelves for yet more treats to stuff in her face.

And god forbid that anyone would say anything to her or her kids about then running around in a public place filled with other people! Shure it's none of our business!

This is why i always roll my eyes when the "parenting is the hardest job in the world" thing comes up.

Really? Is it? See, from what i can see, most modern parents are doing **** all and basically ignoring the effect that their kids are having on those around them and then they get aggressively defensive when someone calls them out on it.

I'm annoyed by the false happyness portrayed by the model/actress.

When you are always punctual and get things ready and/or finished ahead of time, but the perennial late person thinks that they can use that fact to help them get ready at the last minute.

The Medja. Whenever there is an Irish tragedy the media try to reinforce their level of origin when they say things like ''They were respected members of their local community and very involved with the GAA''. As if to say these are qualified 'Irish Irish' and not just your commoner garden blow ins.

Ah yes, the Irish trait of everyone automatically becoming the greatest person who ever lived once they pop their clogs.

We do insincerity so well in this country.

Maybe it's just me, but when I hear about their involvement in the GAA. I automatically think they must have been bollixes then.
