    What really, really annoys you? What would the World would be a better place without?

    For my 2 cent, I would say
    • AOL cd's (check http://www.nomoreaolcds.com/)
    • Warm beer
    • people who have mobiles phones but NEVER seem to have them ..

      a: with them.. or
      b: with them but switched off
    • Trolls
    • The wannabe "bhoy's" who think their hard that I have to put up with

    These annoy the **** outta me. What about you? If you had the chance, what would you have removed, permenantly???

    What would I get rid of..
    • Traffic
    • Bills
    • The need for sleep
    • 56k modems
    • Work
    • Crime
    • Nagging
    • Pain
    • Firewalls

    for starters...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,669 ✭✭✭DMT


    I would eliminate these:
    • Disease
    • Evil people
    • Razor Burn
    • "Poo"
    • The Club Orange commercials
    • Club Orange (tastes like p*ss)
    • Scangers
    • D4 snobs
    • The lack fo inter-galactic space filght.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,004 ✭✭✭The Gopher


    I would personally give up

    Working
    Recieving Junk Mail,as for some od reason you get it,throw it on a table rather than in the bin and over a month you have a mountain of useless jumk mail hogging table space
    Celibacy or monogamy

    And things I would send to room 101
    People who wheel prams 3 abreast down busy footpaths in Dublin at a painfully slow speed
    ****(mainly Dub4 crowd TBH)who dont even apologise when they hit your ankle with their kids pram
    People who are all image-they pretend they are hard,they like people to think theyre so good looking could pull a woman out of a hat,but in reality they are weak as sh1t virgins.Ive alot more respect for proper hardmen than these losers who hang with those of a similiar ilk in order to back up their boasts to the 90% of us who know they are gay anyway.
    On a related note people who,even though they are generally sound,take out their phone constantly to let everyone see them using it.And then scroll down the numbers in order to let you see how many people they know.The types who put things like POLICE and HOSPITAL in their list just to make it longer.Really pisses me off.
    12 year old kids who wear Slipknot hoods to look mental.Or something.
    Parents who let their kids of about 4 knock their car doors against yours in a car park and dont even apologise and tell the kidto be careful.You cant expect the kid to know better but the parent could at least gently tell them to be careful and manage to say sorry to you.As before,have noticed this more with the rich lot in their big people carriers than anybody else.
    Hyporcritical racists.
    Telemarketers.
    Crap advertising.

    And more things Ive already given up
    Any hope that the Irish health service will treat you rapidly after 6 o clock.
    Any hope that Bertie and Fianna Fail will be removed from power before my unborn first childs 30th birthday.
    Any illusion that the government might actually spend money in underfunded sectors rather than on costly new planes,cars,holidays and a large phallus in O`Connell Street.


    Ill admit though im one of those who leaves the phone on silent alot of the time.I just sometimes dont like being interrupted unless its important.
