Definitely a headcase of some sort anyway. He thinks it's normal to use winkey faces as punctuation.
This morning I received a message along the lines of:
"Hey any plans for the day I don't I'm off work "
He seems to hate commas and full stops?

Simple response:
Any chance of a ride

Poor guy. He's been brought up with the Disney image of girls and probably still believes in romance/love

I like romance and love! But not commitment at 19 :P

This fella I've been seeing recently. Lovely lad, funny, kinda cute, super down to earth.. Sounds good right? Its only casual really, I didn't want anything serious. And all of a sudden he's talking about a relationship and waiting a year for sex..
Really annoyed. I dont want a boyfriend and definitely ain't waiting a year for him

Fair enough I suppose. You should let him know your expectations vs his and if the two don't match then call it quits.

Have you checked if he actually has balls?? :rolleyes:

He is either a religious headcase or a gay guy looking for a beard.

Sever.

Lets try reversing the genders here. A woman decides she wants to wait before having sex with her partner. Would you still find it acceptable to question if she was missing some part of her anatomy or was somehow a religious headcase/repressed homosexual?

I get annoyed by people who use the word pound (currency) when they are trying to sound simpler. For example, I was reading an article by a local chef recently and in one sentence he said "People are willing to spend €30 on a 3 course meal now" and in another he said "People look at the menu and don't mind going that bit extra for quality and will spend the extra few pound"

Today on radio I was listening to a politico journo on newstalk and at no point did he mention the pound word when discussing the budget but then he got to "People will be looking to see if the extra few pound is in their pay packet" - who gets a pay packet by the way? How ancient is that.

Anyway, use of that word to sound simpler annoys me.
We use Euro for well over a decade now.

I was joking. People do have different beliefs. I've just personally never met a man who wasn't a horndog. Each to their own but yes, she should be honest with him about their incompatibility.

Watching tear-jerker videos and wailing like Bob Marley and the Wailers.

PMS is a real pleasure.

That is hilarious, that irks me too.

A pet peeve of mine is the Irish obsession with 'everyone loving the Irish'. There is some truth to it but it ruins it by gloating about it.

This is probably too trivial even for the trivial thread, but anyway.

People who walk on the wrong side of the footpath, especially narrow footpaths or footpaths where half the path is a cycle lane.

If you're walking against the traffic, you stick to the roadside of the path, because you can see oncoming traffic and bicycles without having to constantly look around.

Hate walking to work in the mornings with a constant flow of people walking on the wrong side of narrow paths. If you brazen it out and stick to the correct side, they'll just walk into you because they're glued to their phones. This TA is exacerbated by the fact that I'm moody as f*ck in the mornings.

You didn't answer my question though. How about we change your post from

Still funny?

Kinda. I'm not really a feminist so I can laugh at it either way. I don't think anyone's being serious here anyway or personally attacking him.

Drop it.

And don't be bitchy towards other people's trivial annoyances as it just drags the thread down the same route that has seen other people threadbanned.

I am annoyed that the "Trivial Things that make you happy" thread is popular again, so I need to double check the tread name before clicking on it. Previously it was enough to just scan the page for the "Trivial things" beginning of the title..I don't care about other people's happiness!

I booked a group study room in my local library to do a skype interview, I thought it would work because it would be quiet but you are allowed talk in these rooms. I can hear the girl outside in the main library crack her joints, if I can hear this she will be able to hear my interview going on. It's too late to relocate.

Every female voice I hear on Red FM seem have the same issue saying "s", it's like a pesudo lisp type thing, it's almost as if it comes about from putting the voice on.

When out running on normal width footpaths that fit 2-3 people easily and people dramatically step out onto the road when they see me coming towards em. I'm not going to run you over, I'm size 8-10 we can both comfortably pass each other with plenty of room!

Tradesmen who think it's great craic to honk as I pass them in the mornings. A girl running in a vest and shorts in warm weather, get over yerselves lads !

People who speak for the sake of making noise.
If you have nothing interesting to say then shut it!

I'm sure it's mighty #banter. However for me it can be intimidating.

I never understand why they do it. Is it in hope that you will be so overwhelmed by the complimentary honk that you go over to them and be all friendly like?

Exactly, I have no idea what they're hoping to achieve! Sure I must be out flaunting my wares dying for some flattering hoots from the fellas?? *flutters eyelashes*
No way I'm marathon training or anything mental like that! :P

The only reason I do it is so she'll come over to them and be all friendly-like.


(Okay, I don't do it, in part because I don't drive.]


I'm trivially annoyed that I don't get the opportunity to do this because of the fact that I don't drive. I mean...my bike doesn't even have a bell!

Haha time to invest in a bell! That might even be quite endearing if done right.. ding-a-ling.

Waiting for their chance to enter the tradesman's entrance.


Ahem.
