Things That Trivially Annoy You.

Why are they a thing now?

Yes, I could want something that would cost €20 and they'd go off and spend over €100 and something I wouldn't want!

This sounds ungrateful but I hate when somebody buys you an expensive gift that you don't want.

Example?

Awake since 5.30. I think I need to leave sunglasses beside the bed. When I get up to go to the toilet at that time, it's like the middle of the day. With the morning sun glaring right in the hall window. Almost blinded.

Loud annoying pikeys on the train this eve...

Myself and my wife went for a meal in the local Chinese restaurant, not sitting down 5 minutes and in waltzes a pair of travellers and their brood of scrotes. Cue said scrotes, shouting squealing and running around....and I wonder why murder is illegal.....


P.S: Just realised my 1,000th post is ranting about travellers....FFS!!

This one is very trivial but every time I go into After Hours and see the "Hate crime? Really?" thread I get mildly annoyed. It's the same 3-4 posters going on and on for over a month now, refusing to back down or just walk away. Kids would have moved on from this after an hour, accept someone on the internet and in life disagrees with you and go live your life!

Having Cork people bang on about the “real capital” when they hear you’re from Dublin.

You’d also swear they have share in Murphy’s, which I believe is now owned by Heineken, the way they go on about it.

Your jealousy is an ugly thing

My neighbour's strange friend. There is a bit of a want in her, as my mother would say and daddy days "she's harmless". Still though. She said to me today "oh you've put on a bit of weight". Course I pretended not to hear. Then Daddy pipes up, "Persepoly blaablaa is talking to you".
Like I was a kid again!
Its the second time she said that to me as well. The first was about five years ago! Feck. I'm not fat! Just have curves that I didn't have when she first met me. Hmph!

This is maddening! My ex's kid was like that. He has ASD so of course we had to let a lot slide or deal with things in different ways which was fine, but sometimes he was just a spoilt little b*llox. Refused to flush the loo, clean the seat or wash his hands after using the bathroom. When I said anything it was all, "oh you can't say that to him because of the ASD". Went on holidays for a week, within 2 days of me saying it to him he got it, and went home with better personal hygiene standards. TA people giving their kids a pass on everything.. Also TA I was having a nice morning until I remembered him and got all irritated again!

Or their "people's republic of Cork" sh*teology

They can be the capital if they want. I'd love to get rid of all the congestion in Dublin, send everyone there to work. We'd have more peace and quiet and lower property tax :P

Tomato on a fry is just wrong. To me it'd be the same as putting a piece of brocolli on a fry, it's that out of place.
Also beans on a fry when they're not contained in a ramekin. Bean infection touching off everything. No way. Get out.

Be right back

The Vodafone ads with Dermot Bannon, particularly the one with Jason Byrne!

How can you be so right and so wrong in the same post??;)

A nicely grilled, slightly blackened, seasoned good tomato half, or two, is so good as part of a fry (not the hard, tasteless, barely warmed effort of most hotels).

Baked beans, never belong in a fry. If you insist on having them, they must be in a ramekin/bowl.

TAd that I love pretty much every type of bean preparation known to man ...... except baked beans. They're a handy food - I wish I liked them. Yeuch!!:eek:

Where do we stand on mushrooms in a fry? For me they are a must. Beans i can take or leave but i dont see the need for a ramekin if they are there.

The same place I stand on mushrooms in anything - the only place they belong is in the bin.

They can feck off.

Some sort of potato element is a must, though - as is black and white pudding. Brown toast (not soda bread), too, please.

The bin is too good for them.

Entering the toddlers room at 6am because the monster is awake. Open the door and the most vile bang of sh*t greets you.
Soiling yourself at this ungodly hour is not going to get you any sympathy points...

Just had a guy lose the rag and threaten me with violence when I suggested to him that parking his wagon on the footpath (completely blocking it) was not an ideal situation. He actually followed me for about 200m to remonstrate.

What a saddo.

Yes, people usually behave like total knobheads when their knobheadish behaviour is pointed out to them.
People who litter and let their dogs sh1te everywhere usually have the same reaction when challenged.

Agreed. Still gonna keep pointing these things out though
I honestly thought he was gonna go for me today though. I reckon I would have equipped myself OK but he was a right scummer so ya never know what will happen.

Yes mushrooms are nice on a fry. Their squeaky texture is weird though. Beans have to be contained. Bean juice seeping into everything is a big no no.

I wish those people experienced the effects of their behaviour from the viewpoint of a wheelchair. Even for a couple of months, just to really get the feel of what it's really like.

Yep! Twenty years ago I got "Hi NH, it's J. Have you received my fax? I haven't sent it yet." There are no words.

God yes! Those hurt like hell! That reminded me that once I got the spike of a file belt under my nail - I still remember the pain.
