    Riding your wife/gf's twin by "mistake"







    Especially if they're not identical twins or, even worse, if it's a twin brother

    Rough cheap toilet paper.

    Always worth paying extra for the good stuff

    Oh thank you for that, I needed something to cheer me up :D

    + Big Brother


    Now to add a few of my own:
    - Parking in disabled spaces when you have no right to
    - Taking up more than 1 car space because you can't park!
    - Skipping the queue in a shop
    - The Kardashians
    - Katie Price
    - Piers Morgan
    - That 'human Ken doll' weirdo

    It's not often I agree with every single point a poster has made but by God you've achieved it.

    Negligently allowing your young children get sunburned. Seen a lot of it recently and it absolutely infuriates me!

    - Skipping the queue in a shop

    Perfectly excusable. Was standing in a lengthy line, guy at the counter calls "next please" loud enough to wake the dead, woman in front of me is gazing off into space with her mouth open, counter guy then makes eye contact with me and nods. I go, get served, pay, and leave. Look back over my shoulder and the person originally in front of me is still queuing and counting wall tiles. Did I do something inexcusable?

    Did it not even strike you that the woman might be deaf , or grieving , or distracted in her head ?
    A gentle tap on and arm and " you're next " would have been nice

    I was standing behind her in a long queue. If she was any of those things, trust me, I would have noticed and would have nudged her. She was queueing behind a long line of people where every single individual in front of here was paying attention to the "next please" shout. She can't help but know she's next in line.

    Why is it my fault if she's more interested in staring at her smart phone or picking her nose or whatever else?

    Inexcusable? Really?

    People who blow their noses into a tissue at a dinner table. Look into tissue, roll it into a ball and put it in the ashtray. This has happened a few times. Even the act of blowing the nose into the tissue at the table is inexcusable.

    Are you saying don't blow your nose at the table, just get up and go to toilet etc if they need to blow it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 809 ✭✭✭filbert the fox


    Women not shaving there arm pits.

    Bad grammar

    Thats precisely what I'm saying. Sneezing is different as its not voluntary. Blowing the nose is voluntary, disgusting and inexcusable. Puts me off my grub, and the nose blower!

    She's right, good manners cost nothing. Good manners would also involve respecting the people behind you in the queue as well as those in front.

    putting your dinner knife in your mouth.:eek:

    Eating spicy food can sometimes cause your nose to run so I'd prefer someone wipe their nose than let it run amok. You can turn to the side as you wipe / blow.

    Thats one that Irish Mammies try to drive into their kids from a young age.

    Apparently theres no excuse given for not having the back part of a remote control because I lent a remote to my neighbour and when she returned it she just said "oh ye the backs missing" and shrugged with no reason or nothing. :mad:

    Theres no excuse for not having an excuse

    I too would prefer an intervention like that rather than them letting their nose run "amok" :D I'm more concerned with those that blow their noses out of habit. Having a good clear out as it were. That I can't abide.

    Poor trainers/shoes, poor bed.
    If you're not in one, you're in t'other.


    Drink driving.

    Joined a company recently that has no urinals so I can safely say

    1. Male toilets not having urinals

    2. Being a b0llocks in the toilets at work and not cleaning up the outrageous amount of piss you've just left on the seat/bowl/floor

    And following on - if there’s no urinal, being so much of a lazy c*** that you don’t bother lifting the seat before p1ssing.

    A bad pint.

    Scraping your butter residue off the knife, back into the tub. Should be a law against it.

    my dad always used to put butter and brown sauce on his dinner all the time... as a kid i always remember going to the tub of butter when making some toast and opening it to a waft of brown sauce scrapings....

    makes me wretch even now thinking of it!
