People who give you a lift, but would never dream of asking you if you would like the heat turned up/down, or if you would like to listen to something other than what they are inflicting on you.

Beggars can't be choosers...

Off on a weeks Holidays planning to chill out and not worry about anything and I do me back in getting into bed last night :mad:

Ghost Buster

The human need to congregate just inside a door way they have just entered or exited by. In my daily job I regularly have a couple of hundred people in and out of various rooms. Inevitably a gaggle of 10 or more will pass through a doorway then pause in achievement for a natter as a few hundred more pile up behind them.
Tools!

Quackery really annoys me these days. My mum seems willing to believe just about anything in terms of homeopathic remedies etc, now she's trying to convince me to try Schuessler salts. They are really popular where I'm from and their claims are absolutely ridiculous! She's generally reluctant to take real medicine, but if it says homeopathic then let's just take it all without questioning.

Turn on the heat full blast everywhere, throw down every window and put the volume full blast on Lyric FM. That'll teach 'em

My favourite pen is dying it's been a slow death sadly. First the ink was dodgy, but then he made a comeback. Then the nib part started unscrewing itself from the main holding area. Now the shirt clip part has snapped off.

I've had it nearly 2 years I suppose but I'll miss it.

Completely disagree. Their car, their comfort. Heat how they want it, whatever music or station they want.

If I was giving a lift to someone and they asked me to adjust the heat/music, I'd probably do so. But if I was getting a lift from someone, I'd a) never ask them to adjust heat/music, and b) if they asked me if I wanted the heat/music changed, I'd say no, whatever way they want it is fine.

You can disagree all you like. It's my TA, so there.

Seriously though, if you were giving a lift to say, an elderly aunt, or your mother, would you never think to ask if they were comfortable.


When Myself and Mrs E are travelling any sort of distance, I (who dislikes too much heat) will wear a tshirt and flip flops, so the heat can raised enough to keep Mrs E happy.

And thats on the Luas.....ok joking about that bit.

Dangerous stuff, that. It's the only treatment where you can accidentally overdose by not bothering your arse to take it... :pac:

I have one of those! It was my granddads so probably 40+ years old. I'm scared to use it in case it breaks. Haven't used it since fountain pen stuff in primary!

Just use it, that's what it's for. You won't break it with a tractor.

Going to murder someone.
I posted about this before. The laundry facilities are worked off a coin meter here. As soon as I have topped up the credit and started the washing machine, one of my neighbours sniffs out the money and uses the dryer. So yet again I confronted her. I said where will my wet clothes go when the cycle ends if you use the dryer? I said I paid for this and you don't have any right to come down and make it more difficult for me to wash my clothes as she already uses the dryer seven days a week. She said it's my problem and she can use what she likes and it's irrelevant who pays. No it's fkicng not irrelevant as it's my money that she is trying to scab off and I am here now with wet clothes unable to dry them. I have never seen anyone so ignorant and I told her this as well. I could be waiting until tonight late to start another wash. It's at the stage where I can't get my towels and sheets washed with her. You need to watch the machine in case she uses it.
I have lived in loads of places but these people would walk over your bleeding corpse to dry their fcking clothes.

Open up the drier & piss in it, the stank of dried in piss will learn them

She has serious issues. She looks like she would draw a dig on you so I might leave my knickers on a while yet. I heard of people getting stressed over washing but this takes the biscuit.
Edit. As per my original post on the topic, the bulb hasn't been replaced in over a year since I refused to do it. Scroungers anonymous meetings anyone?

People you give a lift to who close the air vent pointed at the passenger door window and leave it that way so next time you're driving without a passenger and the window mists up, you have to stop the car to open it again!

I prefer to use the expression - "Fúck them."

If our government had any cop on, we could start wooing all those companies that wouldn't be happy with a Brit exit, over to us in Ireland

May have already been mentioned, but those feckin videos of "Irish people eating American snack food for the first time" and "American people watching hurling for the the first time" etc etc... Some examples: here and here.

1. Driving in the U.K. listening to Radio 1, and I hear a song, and I'm thinking ah, Years & Years, decent band, saw them at Glastonbury (on TV), decent song, I listen away, happy out.... at the end of the song, the DJ comes on, "Thats the brand new one from Justin Bieber". TA'd that I kinda like a Justin Bieber song.

2. People who change a headlight bulb on their car and put the new bulb in upside down. You can spot them easily, they're heading towards you, and it looks like one of their high beams is on, No. they just put in a bulb upside down.

3. Arriving on an Aer Lingus flight from Gatwick last night and docking in Terminal 1, and having to walk for AGES (on a very sore foot) to get to the T2 baggage hall, all the while seeing all the empty gates in T2, with no planes parked (I know they are free for the U.S flights arriving in the morning, but park us there, let us depart, then tow the plane over to T1).

4. TA'd that I forgot what #4 was, it was good.
