    Already running late and now I have to wait ages (by London standards) for my train because some absolute ****wit doesn't seem to get the concept that during the morning rush hour "walk on the left" actually requires some fcuking movement.

    Not a TA, but actually deadly serious annoyance.

    I have a spot on my nose.

    badly folded newspapers are a real pain in my ass

    Instead of folding them, roll them into a cylindrical shape for easier insertion.

    People, everything pisses you off on a Monday morning. Every negative instance is magnified x100 because it's Monday.

    TA bumping into people you vaguely know, but don't really like in shopping centres.

    Reminds me of a mountainous spot I got on my cheek before my Uni graduation. It got so big, an ex of mine wanted to apply some of her make up over it. But I wasn't having it, I had bonded with it and I was lovingly cultivating it for the optimal moment to squeeze. It really was sight to behold, I did consider installing some aviation lights on it because it had become so mountainous. Tbh, I was kinda sad when it was gone.

    Why do kids always pull their socks off inside out? Every single one.

    Kids?

    I'm just thinking now, "have I been doing it wrong the last 30 odd years?". I just thought like everything else, they get a better wash when they're turned inside out so I just peel them off like that and then that saves the launderette guy a bit of work. He's probably been silently cursing me all these years and I never knew :pac:

    I've been caught in a tremendous hurricane, water and tumultuous whirlwinds force themselves upon me. I'm in agony, my eardrums are bursting and my heads exploding. Unbearable tension holds its clammy hands around me.

    Yes, my neighbour's broken washing machine is on, whirring and gurgling, shaking the floorboards above. Nobody cares, the Landlord scoffs. Another day, another dollar.

    The idea that runners and joggers are a hazard on the roads.

    go on the footpath? roads are for cars


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 931 ✭✭✭Dramatik


    People who don't know how to close doors properly, just close it over and then give it a quick pull till you hear the lock click. Everyone in my house slams the **** out of the door when their leaving, the whole house actually shakes, they do it so hard. Especially annoying when you're in bed on a Sunday morning.

    and it's a TA for me that some runners/joggers seem to think they have a right of way on the footpath

    People leaving a week's worth of groceries for themselves in our tiny work fridge, using up all the space. I could barely squeeze in my lunch box this morning, and I was one of the first people in the office today.

    Went shopping with d'mammy today and she kindly bought me a nice plaid shirt I was admiring in Dunnes.
    It was a size 20 but looked pretty roomy on the hanger. First mistake? I didn't try it on in the shop- I get fitting room anxiety at the best of times. Got home, pulled my t-shirt off and slipped the new one on- nope. Couldn't even get it up to my shoulders, such is the lack of give in the fabric. Heartbroken. I'm now sitting here feeling fat and frumpy and full of self-loathing. Damn my broad shoulders and bulky arms. Damn them to hell. :( :mad:

    Having a 16 year child in the home. For those of you who have experienced this pleasure I need say no more.

    i know the pain.:confused:

    at least I work and can escape for a while.

    Two pillowcases getting caught in the duvet cover so everything is dry except them. So annoying yet so trivial.

    Fúcking duvet covers, is there no end to the amount of stress and annoyance they cause? Surely there is a better way?

    Sorry be going on but the very second my back is turned the cheapskate neighbour comes down and starts using the dryer even though it's obvious my clothes are in the washing machine wet. I've already paid for the washing so he must smell the money or something. It keeps happening and I told him how can I dry my clothes which I have already paid for when you are using the dryer. He pretend he doesn't understand and questions me on how long I will be even though I'm paying for it. The fcking nerve of this prick I swear.

    Loud gossipy neighbours that set up camp at entrances and near windows.
    Get a room already.

    always happens when you're going out somewhere or dealing with people face to face, and you've nothing strong enough to clear it up as fast as you'd like it to. I used to want to hide away and wait for the big red cyst - like things to clear up :(


    TA at predictable mob mentality. PR scandal involving a local business? head straight to their facebook page and blast them with p.....poor 1 star reviews and scathing comments even though you've never set foot in the place, why? because rabble ****ing RABBLE! they have the best of intentions but it happens so often that you just get sick of the same ''disgusting'' ''outrageous'' ''should be ashamed'' lines of commentary that your eyes glaze over. it'll be a different scandal next week and people will carry on lapping it up.

    also TA when a historical event happens, every second post on your timeline is a post about that event, and it gets to the point where you wish said event never happened just because of the constant streams of people basically saying the same thing, take the Mar.Ref for example. this goes hand in hand with the above social media mobs.

    I'm with you on this.

    Equally annoying, people who can't close doors to the other extreme - i.e. the door isn't properly closed and any breeze has them gently hitting off the jam repeatedly.

    Having to repeatedly get out of bed to stop the kitten from rooting through the bin. As soon as she knows I'm coming over, she strolls away pretending she wasn't doing anything. Grrrrrr she knows not to be in the bin but does it anyway!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,434 ✭✭✭Robsweezie


    People on adverts who don't read the ad properly, then get pissy when you don't play ball with them.

    Needing a fire in July. Not for company but for warmth. On the upside I suppose it lessens the risk of birdies getting comfy in the chimney but moy jaaaaaaaaysus am I sick of carting fuel around the place. :mad:

    Trying to buy gamecube games. It took me weeks to get it to work on my TV, and cost me €100+. I bought Mario kart double dash, before I realised it wouldn't work on my TV. It came with no case, just the disk. I put it somewhere safe and now I can't remember where I put it. Doing a big clear out so I might have thrown it out :(
    €20 for a new one second hand on adverts!
    Then there's another game that is great but I can't find it anywhere, except amazon for €35. Will have to suck it up, cheaper than other consoles I suppose!

    There's also a really noisy bike being driven around the area, it sounds like a hairdryer. Been going around for ages now!
