Reality TV annoys me.
Sky News annoys me.
MTV annoys me - no music.
Manufactured music annoys me.
American over optimism annoys me.
The phrase "un-american"
The phrase "New Irish" (In fairness this has not being used for many years)
Interviews with soccer players annoy me "at the end of the day".
Why bother interviewing soccer players even the stories where the journalist goes for the angle that they "are different to most footballers" has been overused and cliched.
"Wacky" DJ's annoy me.
Fellas with beards and 1930's haircuts annoy me.
Irish people's obsession with English soccer.
People who say "Kick off" instead of "Throw in" for GAA matches
The GAA championship structure annoys me.
The GAA all-stars annoy me - waste of time.
Fair weather fans of all sports who get tickets for the big event when real fans can't.
People who go to places just to be seen there.
People who say "ab-sooool-lut-leeeeey".
People who say "like" it is a comma,
People who say "man" at the end of a sentence, man.
Human interest stories on TV - they are rarely interesting and end being annoying.
When "celebrities" flog books in November in time for Christmas it is always styled as"sensational" or "hard hitting" but rarely is.

And it's usually cheaper, and they have launched an English version of the site (in beta)..:D

The price of cadburys chocolate on amazon.de nearly made me weap today. €6.77 for a marvelous creations bar. An even bigger bugbear is my parents reluctance to send food items via post. I need some cadburys people

Nah I don't think it's necessary except in heavy downpours. today was fairly normal apart from a couple of showers. I can understand it on small roads but on the motorway it serves no purpose (assuming drivers have no visual impairments)

I had lights on inside my house since noon today as it was dark trying to read in natural light.

Even for chopping food prepping the dinner this morning at 11am I had the lights on in the kitchen.

Been doing lots of admin work related to next year, and have needed to type 2016 numerous times. Had to be really careful to type 2016 not 2015, as it's on some really important stuff, that I can't get it wrong.

Now twice this evening, I've found myself on autopilot typing 2016 on something related to this year.

Grr!

Assigned seating in general but especially in conjunction with the face to face seating we have on trains here. Two and half hours from Limerick to Dublin trying to avoid awkward eye contact with the person sitting across from you.

Want to bake a cake using my spiffy new Bundt tin but my mother ate all the unsalted butter and since tomorrow's only Monday, I won't be able to buy ingredients 'til Wednesday.

just read a story there on a pregnant woman who gave her husband a blow job in a shopping centre in front of her kids. and carried on when the kids interrupted them. all caught on CCTV. she blamed it on her hormones.

are there any words....

Back on topic (sorry)

I hate the Christmas adverts that (usually female) slow down older songs and try and make a song with no link to romance, romantic.

Tons of examples, yet I can't think of one right now (thank God).

Web correctors seeking work who email my business email to point out typos on my website, on a 'hire me and I'll find more typos for you' basis.

Granted, I'd probably do the same in their shoes, as the potential client probably thinks their website is perfect, so you want to prove to them there's a reason to hire you.

But trivially annoying me by the smug way you come across for being able to find a couple of typos on my site using your fancy software isn't gonna endear me towards giving you work, sorry.

Oh God, so many annoyances and hatreds this morning, I don't know where to start.

* Those photos that people put on Facebook of cancer survivors, saying "can I get a like for beating cancer?".

Also the ones where the person hasn't beaten cancer yet and the sign says, "1 like = a prayer, 1 million likes = a cure".

Occasionally they will post a photo of some poor deformed child and say "don't scroll without typing amen" - f*ck off would ya.

Related to these are photos of 150 year old war veterans or aul wans in wheelchairs, one tooth at the front and their head hangin on by a f*ckin thread, with a sign propped in front sayin "Maisy is 150 years old today, can she have a like" - Maisy doesn't even know what planet she's on.

A final one on the FB pictures is something you're not even allowed say out loud, but it irks me to see dog soldiers being given state like funerals. Not that I disagree with honouring them, but more that I don't think the dog should have been in that environment in the first place as he had no choice. He is not a "fallen hero" - he is a poor, defenceless (and now dead) dog who was brought to war and killed.

* Watching a snip of Strictly Come Dancing at the weekend (just because I was cold and the fire was in that room), and the judges gave someone a score of four 7's. I had myself convinced that 7 from ten left two, and I couldn't figure out how four tens was forty, and they scored 28, but they only lost 8 from 10 multiplied by 4 which is 8, and 28 and 8 is 36 not 40 I actually had to think about it for more than a minute before I realized 7 from 10 leaves 3. My inner shame burned for a while...

* The run on turkey mince every year when I am shopping for the turkey pudding. Why the f*ck do people want to buy turkey mince? Unless everyone is making a pudding for their cats, which I doubt, there is no justification for wanting to buy it.

*People in work asking what I did at the weekend. Well mostly got drunk and b8tched to my OH about how much I hate you because you get more money than me just because you know the boss and you've been here longer than me.

* The XFactor pantomime audience. Reactive, silly morons with their booing and hissing and chanting. Jst f*ck right off.

*Mondays

*My mother calling me in a panic looking for her slimming world book ("I saw you with it last night"). I hate SW why would I read their silly book? All this sh*teing on about syns and free food and stuffing yourself with fat free yoghurts and potatoes and quark and sugar free jelly and cottage cheese. Counting and auditing and analyzing every morsel that goes into your gob. Just eat like a normal person and focus your mind on something useful. And stop paying someone nine euro a week to weigh you in your knickers and tell you to eat less....

I think you might be the guy I give out about:D

There are a lot of drivers out there with no common sense, and refuse to turn light on until 6pm, regardless of the time of year or the weather conditions. For this reason, I think it should be compulsory to have lights on at all times. It makes it easier to be seen, especially for grey(ish) cars and it costs nothing.

Anyone who calls Hillbillies as HillieBillies. There's no "ie" in it!!!! This makes anger bubble up inside me. I can't explain why it annoys me so much.

Menas

Anybody at work who ever asks for a 'High Five' should be sacked, shot and burried at sea.

I actually had to jot them all down in case I forgot one while typing. My co-workers are confused by the note on my desk that lists:

Cancer/war/old age signs
Dogs at war??!!!!
Maths
SW Book
Turkey mince
Weekend - more money than me for nothing!
XFactor audience
Cancer/war pictures!!

Ha At least they're staying away from me now :P

People who pronounce "ion" as "in", as in.... millins

I went shopping(for FA) with Mrs E yesterday. Now I remember why I hate it. Throngs of ignorant fcukers bumping in to me, kids crying everywhere. And what is it with people and restaurants, fcuking queues a mile long outside all of them, gormless fcuk wits shuffling along, you would think it your last chance ever to get food. Here is a tip, have a sandwich before you go and have a dinner when you get home. Does anybody cook a dinner on Sunday anymore?

All those pyramid schemes on Facebook and other social media right now. I can't believe people are still falling for these?! And if someone points out that it's a pyramid scheme they get all offended and don't want to believe it.

Or those ads that pop up when you're watching films online telling you that the "Asian girl of your dreams" is waiting for you to click. Pointed and laughed at it with the OH yesterday, as we both tried to figure out who would actually believe that stuff.... and then we both realised....... my brother! Also TA that the girl in the photo was only around 17, and looked younger and was tiny and the whole thing just sort of bordered on creepy...

I have a relative who flogs the "Forever Living" stuff, and they very first thing they mention is "now I know what you are thinking but it's not a pyramid scheme"
