It's almost like she's making a conscious effort to be contrary.

I know somebody exactly like this. If I buy something, let's say I got something I really wanted or needed and got it at a good price, she will run it down, point out all the potential downfalls, tell me that a different brand of the same thing is much better or that I should have tried this shop or that shop because I could have got it cheaper. blah blah blah. Then she will go off and secretly buy the same thing for herself in the place I got it, and tell nobody.....

Is she one of those people who, when you tell a story, she has to tell a story to beat/top it?

I remember spotting a big, expensive car parked across two spaces in a car park once. The driver had parked in the remotest part of the car park, where the spaces weren't remotely in demand. Fair enough, I thought. Most of them are parking in two-plus spots in places where there aren't spare places in the first place. Those people deserve every ding they get.

People who play music on buses out of their phone or speakers without headphones, we really don't want to be treated to Calvin Harris or David Guetta's latest music thanks.

I appreciate that but spaces are far too narrow now for the bigger modern cars and it's not beyond the bounds of possibility that some people ding the other car out of jealousy or malice regardless where the person parks their car .
I'm amazed how some 20 year old cars are ding free and newer Audi or BMW cars are peppered on their doors .

People who wear short tops, who are overweight .not everyone has to be thin,
but theres no need to show off your belly.
Certain fashions do not suit fat people.
People who have large tattooo,s on their face or neck.
people who wear tee shirts with crude sexual slogans on them.
People who just use american slang,
yo,dude,bro,omg,guys,awesome,
We irish .we have our own special slang, the craic was 90, langer,gaff,ma,
You are from tallaght, why do you speak like a teen youtube celebrity from california.
people who go to pubs,clubs wearing celtic jersey,s ,
wear a jersey going to a match ,or maybe if watching the soccer in a sports bar.

Because people don,t bother dinging 20 year old cars,
they might bing a 2015 bmw.

People use acronyms all the time, abbreviating a phrase and expecting everyone to know what they are on about. Ruins the flow of meetings and conversations.

A wanker I worked with used to make his own up and a number of times would fire one in confusing everyone as the same acronym was used in the industry with a completely different meaning.

Tell her you've been to Tenerife. She'll probably try to one up ya and say she's been to Elevenerife. Then you have her by the ladyballs.

Or people who have as their occupation "full time mad bastard", you know they are bone idle, boring ****.

dbagman · 06-08-2016 10:43AM

Mine are all driving related:

People that refuse to use indicators
Those that stop in yellow boxes
Cyclists that break rules of the road ( Are most likely same ones that then complain about aggressive/bad drivers)
Those that cant seem to understand you can use bus lanes when out of hours (read the signs for times) and proceed to drive like dickheads to cut you off in the ignorance that its me that has wronged them by skipping traffic going down the free lane.
People that speed up to cut you off when you indicate to merge into their lane despite being well in front of them.
People who cant park for the life of them,parking so close to you that you cant get into your own car (whatever about parallel parking,how hard is it to get a car someways straight between 2 white lines?)

Im sure theres more Im forgetting

:eek: How can you forget fast lane hogs?

The worstest of all shltty drivers.

There is a 3 mile stretch of 2 lane dual carriageway on my way to work and I spend half the time having to undertake slow beggars driving up the fast lane at 40mph.

sweet jesus how did i forget that one. rockets to the top of the list. Similarly those that race up behind you and start flashing their lights when you're in the fast lane but overtaking cars,just not at 200mph.
And those that merge onto the motorway and go straight for the fast lane at all costs.
Following on from above the people that think its ok to merge into the fast lane but not adjust their speed accordingly then wonder why you flash them as you have to jam on as you're now racing up their backside.

Those road users who don't know that you can stop in a 'yellow box' in certain circumstances.

Those road users who think there is a 'fast' lane.

Aineoil · 07-08-2016 08:26PM

People who say "If I were you I would do X".
