    I use boards from work and there are obviously some web filters in place.

    I keep browsing threads and people posting what must be pictures but to me it looks like an empty post.
    Some get lot's of thanks and first I was like 'why are they thanking an empty post?' now I'm annoyed I can't see the post itself and have to use my phone to see it.

    You're talking about the beautiful women thread, aren't you? :p

    I was out walking the dog earlier, nice day, lovely walk....until this vile fcuker a good few paces behind started with the hawking, snottiness and spitting. He was behind me for a while and this was going on constantly. I even slowed down but he refused to overtake.....I think he was some sort snot blowing weirdo.

    I'd love to know. Some pubs are awful for this too especially on Saturday nights. I can't lip read and neither I nor my friends know sign language so I just leave.

    This drives me mad! You end up roaring at each other and hoarse by the end of the night. I don't mind in a nightclub because it's to be expected but in pubs, not really necessary!

    Same in work except if certain bold words are mentioned in a thread a "adult filter" stops me from viewing a page can only imagine what I.T think I'm viewing on boards!

    The absolute scutter that the gobshítes on The Apprentice come out with.

    e.g. 'I'm going to throw people under the bus. I'm going to throw people over the bus. I'm going to get on the bus, take the wheel and get the investment from Lord Sugar'

    (I know it's all part of the show, but that doesn't stop the rage it incites deep within me :mad:)

    Cars where you have to press a button or pull a little lever to open the fuel cap door.

    When you regularly rent cars, you come across all varieties, sometimes they even hide the lever. It is so little after all!

    Can all the car companies of the world not just get together and agree that the best way to do the fuel cap door release are the ones where you simply ‘press’ the little door and they open. Not the ones where you have to go on a f**£ing treasure hunt just to find the bloody release handle!!

    ‘Release’ - You’re not a fecking 747 in an emergency ‘releasing’ fuel over the ocean before attempting an emergency landing!!

    Two massive cliches in their respective fields:

    History documentaries that say "Such-and-such was changed. Forever."

    When the camera cuts to a manager, celebrity fan, etc. immediately after a major incident at a football match, and the commentator invariably declares "X can't believe it."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,363 ✭✭✭✭iamwhoiam


    TV 3 documentaries with random people telling us how so and so was murdered .Every time sitting in a huge empty warehouse with one chair placed in the middle .Whats that all about ?

    I sent a message on Amazon to the seller of the book that I have still not received. They got back to me last night, soooo sorry, could I please check with the post office , the neighbours and also with other members of my household. Yeah right, like something would come in here without being given to me out of sheer nosiness as to what was in it! I didn't see this e mail till this morning, along with another sent this morning advising me they have refunded me. Bet the book was never sent in the first place.

    I think I am losing my voice. Instead of sympathising the OH looks pure ecstatic:(

    A couple of unruly kids running amok in Heatons earlier. Literally two or three staff members visibly irritated by their shenanigans, along with most of the customers. I mean one of them was climbing in under the changing room doors and another was slaloming around the aisles dribbling a football.

    Needless to say, they were members of an Irish ethnic group, meaning they couldn't be admonished with fear of impinging on their newly found equal rights.

    My colleague who converses solely in cliches. Can never figure wtf he's on about, get to the point man!

    I was trying to park my car at the shopping centre when this woman and her kids came along to get into their car. These kids were at least 10 and older but they decided to run to and try get into their car while I was parking. I stopped and waiting (impatiently) but the 2 boys started to fight over the front seat!! The mother became all apologetic then but why didn't she stop them when they were near a moving car. So bloody annoying, control your kids!

    People who call the new flatliners film a remake when it's actually a sequel


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,682 ✭✭✭✭Loafing Oaf


    People who say 'mind-boggling' when they mean 'mind-blowing'.

    Do I win the thread?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73 ✭✭Red5


    Why in the love of God to people need to talk to their friends at the top of their voice on public transport ? Sweet Jesus I have to do a long commute every day which is bad enough with these fcuks in my ear every day. Nobody cares what Debbie or whoever said on Facebook. I need to get a cup of p1ss to throw at them. Let's see how loud they are then.

    Thumper of a headache. My niece was messing around putting away the shopping and hit me in the face with a potato.
    She also kept pointing at my spot and shouting "RED".
    Pup.

    The FAI giving Martin O'Neil a new contract the day before the second-last qualifier. Nothing against MON but why not wait until after the qualifying campaign?

    Dopes who rate an item on Amazon when they haven't even used it.
    Reviewing a book for instance, they rate it five stars and say 'I haven't read it yet but it was well packaged and the delivery was fast'
    ffs:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    OH got a new wooden hairbrush recently and she thinks its gas craic to creep up behind me and whap me on the ass with it. :eek: Yowch!

    The family in the Chill Insurance ad - so smug!

    Christ yes.
    Was promised something from my bank last Fri/Mon. Rang twice and emailed once on Wed to ask where it was. "Oh its gone in todays post, you'll have it tomorrow". Do I have it? Do I fcuk.

    If it's not here tomorrow I'm going into the branch to crack heads. And by 'crack heads' I mean I'll go in and be all apologetic and meek and polite :rolleyes:

    Went into JD sports today to have a look at some overpriced gym gear.
    Saw some nike leggings that had €2 off(bargain) so said I'd try them on and see were they squat proof.
    Fitting room doors were locked so i asked a one on a ladder who grimaced and unlocked a fitting room. Weird enough, i thought.
    Then she goes "you'll have to leave your bags here". I was like "what if someone takes them (my beloved new look buys)" and she said i'll be standing here.
    The feckin pants had a security tag on them and security in the shop as well.
    I got so awks at the thought that she was standing there waiting for me to try on leggings that even if I liked them I wouldn't get them.

    It doesn't annoy me, but for some reason I get creeped out when I'm reading an old thread from about a year ago that I don't remember reading before and I see that I've thanked posts.
