    In the absense of a "things we hate" board, I feel the need to post the following:

    ATM Idiots
    You know, the ones who queue up to use an ATM when there's one just inside the door, or around the corner, yet either don't know there's one there or don't want to move from their queue. Also includes: The HUGE numbers of ppl lining up to use the ATMs in Jervis St. shopping centre - get a fricking laser card!

    Bus idiots!
    In Ranelagh the 11 bus goes past one bus stop, then goes around the corner about 20 metres and stops again. People queue at this second bus stop, and by the time the bus gets there it's jammers from the first one and they never get seats. Pah, get some intelligence and walk around the corner!

    Toasters that don't make enough noise
    So when the toast pops you miss it. Everyone knows you HAVE to butter toast when it's piping hot...

    Damn changeable weather
    The one day you don't bring an umbrella to work it lashes rain.

    Bus tickets
    That get wet in the rain and don't work for the rest of the month, so you have to show the driver every time.

    Non work-safe emails not being marked as non work-safe
    Argh, my eyes!

    DVD Burners
    That get to 93% and then spit out your disc and chuckle evilly.

    Prices of EVERYTHING
    Soooo expensive. Damn you Ireland!

    Screenshots
    I hate taking screengrabs, grr, they're very very annoying.

    Liars
    People who lie to you about important things deserve to be diced up by someone with a blunt sword.

    Coke from Saudi Arabia
    If I'm paying €1.25 a bottle then I want decent Irish coke, not cheap imported crap thanks...

    I hate people who take ages at ATMs.
    The ones who put their card in take 20, put it in again, take 20 and do this 3/4 times.
    All while the taxi drivers is beeping the horn waiting for you to hurry up.
    Pigs.

    Mobile phones ringing at empty desks
    Morons who leave their phone ringing REALLY LOUDLY at their desk. Why the hell do you need it to ring so loudly ESPECIALLY when you're not there to answer. I was about to get a hammer at one today. And don't get me started on mobiles in cinemas or I shall see the Red Mist again...

    Stupid cows who sit on stools in packed trains
    There are very VERY busy Arrow trains in the morning. People are jammed together - except for the selfish little cows who bring a fold up stool with them and plonk themselves down in the middle. It's not like they're ever pregnant or disabled - they're healthy young women who think they deserve to take up the space of five people and preserve their stupid composure. Meanwhile other folk are left standing on the station because Her Royal Bi*chness needs to sit.

    Queue skippers
    People who skip the queue, whether it be in the cinema or for train tickets or whatever. They generally try and siddle up or brazenly just lodge themselves into the queue. And this covers those times when a group get one mate to hold a place for himself and his 343 friends.

    Little knackers who hang around my appartment gate
    I live in the IFSC and there're always little knackers trying to get through the security gate. It's locked so they dangerously climb over it or - even worse - swing across the bridge, despite the perilous drop. Darwinian selection should be working here but it's not. And they're noisy.


    ... more to come I imagine :)

    Add to that b@stards that ring on speakerphone in a office so that everyone has to listen to their phonecalls and ringing out. Urrgh.:mad:

    People who give out to me for queue jumping. I don't want to waste time queueing when I don't have to, if I can skip I will and then if some spa sees me do it they give out to me.

    Goons who indicate when they are pulling in to a parking spot.
    They are not turning a corner so why? Learn to drive you idiots.

    People who are tutting behind you when you are checking your balance at an atm, then topping up your phone credit, then withdrawing money, then checking new balance. I would tut at them, and there is a queue for a reason.

    People who do not leave the room when the phone rings and you are watching tv.
    I don't need to hear their calls and I may just want to here the tv


    People who will pile rubish up rather then empting the bin at work home where ever

    Drivers who stop in their cars for a "few quick words" with someone they know in the middle of the street


    Shop assistants who keep asking if they can help you and you say no I am just looking. They then keep an evil eye on you incase you are going to steal something.


    Chain f**king mail

    Bubblegum stuck under table, chairs, desk etc

    Why do you give a shít about these points?? :rolleyes: The idiots who queue up at the external ATM's are idiots, but they need to take out money as we all do. Also, this leaves the internal ATM's for intelligent people like you and I.

    What annoys me is women at ATM's. Sorry... I'm not sexist, but seriously, they just take the píss. If you're ever at an ATM and the bloke waiting in line behind you asks if you're trying to re-programme the ATM.... that's me.

    As for bus idiots. Same principle as above, why do you care? You walk around the corner, and get on the bus immediately, plus a nice selection of seats. Would you prefer that you were hopping on to a packed bus, because everyone is as smart as you!?! :rolleyes:


    Other things that annoy me and are self explanatory.

    Drivers who don't indicate on roundabouts, or just in general.
    Mobiles or excessive talking/laughing in the cinema.
    Smokers who don't think about other peoples air.
    leonotron.
    The fact that I've given up smokes and am finding it very easy - I've no excuse to go back on them! :)
    Drummers who hit the kit/my kit too hard.
    People who suddenly stop in front of you in the middle of Grafton street for no good reason.

    Eh... there's plenty more, but I'm starting to wind myself up, so I'm gonna stop.

    r

    along the same lines, i was waitin to cross the road yesterday at the junction of o connel st & abbey st. this van is kinda idleing down o connel st, when it reaches the junction it completely stops in the middle of the road (completely blocking all traffic as theres only one lane there atm) the woman standing beside me starts to cross the road an im thinkin shes gonna get creamed, bu no the van stops with her just in front of it, an she opens the door, then her an her entire idiot family start trying differant seating arrangements for about another minute or so. at this stage everyone starts to cross the road. this seems to anger the driver who accelerates as fast as he can even tho his gob****e wife hasnt closed the door seeming intent on killinf as many pedestrians as possible.

    Idiot females who queue at the checkout and when it's their turn they then decide to look for the purse and it is strange that this same person will look for the odd 87c when their bill comes to €8.87c. Just take the €1.13c in change for god sake.
    AND
    The person who insists on paying by CC no matter how little their bill is.

    1. Road signs in Irish with grammar mistakes - any Irish speaker could tell you they're wrong but whatever organisation makes them obviously dosen't put much effort into it.

    2. People who misuse apostrophies.

    3. People who think computer science is dull and monotonous and don't realise that programming can be a creative activity.

    4. People who pretend to be stupider than they are.

    5. People who give in to fit in with a crowd.

    6. People who are inconsistent.

    7. Drama queens - people who have to make a soap opera out of everything in life.

    8. Racism, sexism and so on.

    9. Politicians who don't think before they speak.

    10. People who go on about how beautiful a language French/Irish/whatever is and how they would love to learn it but never actually make the effort to do so.

    11. People who look you up and down to see what you're wearing when they meet you.

    12. People who smoke in bus queues and blow their smoke all over you.

    That's all for now, folks!

    I don't blame them, queue jumping's incredibly ignorant. I hate queues as much as anyone else but there's nothing that makes you so special that lets you jump it.

    Goons who indicate when they are pulling in to a parking spot.

    I think you'll find that indicating your intentions is, in fact, an example of good driving. Unless they intend to park on a corner, they're doing the right thing, and preventing someone from trying to nab the space while they park , causing a crunch. However, spending a minute indicating at a space and not actually parking in it is a prime example of bad driving, and if that 's what you're talking about, then we're in agreement.

    Taxi drivers who never shut the fúck up.
    I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR OPINIONS! You have the intellect of a paramecium- SHUT UP!

    Public transport in general
    Especially going on long bus journeys and the bog is always bust and there's always country music on- always

    People who I've never met before but seem to know my life story
    I know I'm more interesting than you but please- go away!

    Suits with jeeps
    Big fat baldy yuppie bastards who drive their jeep around town when it could take them 2 minutes to walk. And why do you need a 4 wheel drive car anyways? It's not like you drive it on any other terrain than suburban schmockville.

    Polyphonic ringtones
    TURN DOWN YOUR PHONE YOU IGNORANT BASTARD. Who composed that piece of music? Do you know? Do you know the name? What's the name mother****er? Oh you don't know? Then why do you have it on your phone?! Who composed it? You don't know that either? BLAM BLAM! It's the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky you dullard!

    Stupid Questions and requests
    Sometimes not even that. Sometimes I'm simply informed that "it's not working" as they look @ me with the most bemused expression- WHY DO YOU LOOK SO SUPRISED! IT'S A SHAGGIN' COMPUTER!

    Kids
    SHUT YOUR KIDS UP BEFORE I SHUT THEM UP FOR YOU!
    You're kid isn't special- they're the same decaying organic matter as everything else.

    Fat Kids
    Put your damn fat kid on a diet, little bastard weighs more than I do.

    Pulp Fiction syndrome
    And after Pulp Fiction it was Trainspotting- this refers to annoying plebes who ask you have you seen/read something everyone has a thousand years ago and then proceed to tell you how cool it is and finally misquote it- YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE STFU!

    Irish Drivers
    We can't drive. We really can't.

    Stupid public health & safety ads
    I saw a ad on RTE recently- telling people to wash their hands b4 eating. I'm sorry but if you're too stupid not to wash your hands before eating, too stupid not to know to stick your finger in an electric socket, etc, etc- YOU DESERVE TO DIE! Why are we protecting these people? Oh yeah- because they vote Fianna Fail.

    Anti Smoking bitches
    DIE DIE DIE! BREATH MY SMOKE AND DIE A HORRIBLE CARCINOGENIC DEATH YOU PRICKS!

    Fake D4 Fair City yuppie accents
    What was once a Dublin thing has become a nationwide epidemic- "yeh knooooohw. Putting on a fake D4 accent DOES NOT MAKE YOU INTELLIGENT.
    YOU'RE AN IDIOT.

    Fake gay accents
    STOP LISPING! I know you're putting it on.
    and you you're not even gay are you? You just put on that lisp 'cos you think it'll get you girls.

    Metrosexual
    I'm gonna find the person who coined that phrase, baste him/her in honey and feed him/her to the ants[/B]

    Girls who think they're beautiful
    You're not. Your perfume is obnoxious and just because you can wear a pair of tight jeans and die your hair blonde does not make you attractive so stop copping this attitude- I don't find you attractive.

    Girls who work in bars think they're beautiful
    You're just like the girls mentioned above, except you chat away to balding jock simians as I wait impatiently for my Guinness, GIMMIE MY GUINNESS...NO TAKE THIS BACK- LEARN TO POUR A DECENT PINT OF GUINNESS.

    Going into the pub and there's football on
    Fúck the Premiership- overpaid english ponces kicking a ball- I WANT TO DRINK MY PINT IN PEACE!

    Honda Civic ****
    Ooooh you got tinted windows rolled down with "euphoric" trance blasting out, a spoiler on the back that looks like a lear-jet wing and a Knight Rider light on the front- how cool are you. GET A ****ING LIFE! These gimps should be put off the road or @ least the road safety council should target these people exclusivly when making ads because it's these bastards that make it impossible to ever afford insurance.

    Fiat Puntos
    I've already written about this

    New Hotmail
    ARRGGGH! I HATE IT SO MUCH.

    €ircon, Microsoft...
    I could go on but...

    AOL, Yahoo, Real Player, Gator, Aconti
    And all the other crap people install on our machines

    Britney's Wedding
    WHY DO YOU CARE! Why is an Iranian earthquake front page news for a day and her skanky-ass wedding to some hick front page for a week?

    The Angelas
    BOING! BOING! BOING!
    ARRRGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!

    ...hmm, I'll stop now- how much server space does boards have? Between this and the worst things you've done thread I could probably grind the whole site to its knees.

You know what in Ireland we probably have the most reasons to moan but for god's sake get a life and do something about it.

    Yeah they used to drive me mad in work. And the thing was it was always the really slow people who did it. The ones who had already taken ages to put their stuff through, and thn decided they didn't want half of it because "Oh thats 2c dearer than I thought it was so I'm not getting it"(so you have to spend anther five minutes getting a manager to void it out, meanwhile the queue grows longer!). Then they spend at least five minutes packing their stuff into bags, going "oh no I don't want any help, I always do it myself" So everyone has to wait again! And they have to pack it all in perfectly, then take it out and repack it again, just to be sure the butter isn't near the ham or something like that. They don't even get embaressed that everyone is glaring at them and waiting for them to move! I know if I was holding everyone up I'd be out of there as quick as possible. And 90% of ppl are like that, it's just the annoying 10% that drives everyone mad!:mad:
