Things I hate.

Sauron · 09-01-2004 06:26PM

Im not gonna go into them in much detail..Im sure I wont really have to

Drama Queens who go crazy at the slightest thing

Muppet Mobiles ie those cars with the tinted windows etc. with dance "music" blaring

Celebrity gossip magazines eg Hello, etc the whole paparazzi thing annoys the helll outta me, who could possibly care about what these people do? what with their 2 or 3 weddings a year that last about two weeks...and Its just pathetic to see people making a living out of, and people wanting to see pictures of when celebrities go to the shops

Smoking in general especially on the bus

queue jumpers most of the time they annoy me...

The Bush admin they just embody dishonesty and I really cant trust them at all.

Asshole Bus drivers wait till they get right beside the door after they've been running like hell to catch the bus, and floor it.

The Premiership, pro footballers, etc. Beckham, over-paid b4stards ( when there are many more deserving and under paid people around) argueing over fees for airing the matches, as if they dont get enough.

many more but ...well... you know...

I disagree. Just because something annoys me doesn't mean that I care about it. I'm annoyed by lots of things. I'm annoyed by stupidity and I never cease to wonder how some people can get by without some sort of basic common sense.

Like why the hell would you queue when you can walk for like 10 seconds and use a machine that's free? It's like standing downstairs on the bus when there's loads of room upstairs... I just can't believe how people can have so much time that they can waste it like they do.

Something to occupy my mind? I think I've had plenty to think about over the last while actually

daveydub · 09-01-2004 07:42PM

Moridin,

If everyone was to act like you, then you yourself wouldn't be able to avail of the free atm in the hidden bank lobby, you wouldn't be able to get a seat upstairs on the overcrowded 10 or 11.. So you should be thankfull that there are people who are somewhat less clued-in as you are.

What I don't get either is others who moan about queue jumpers and people who pull out a foldy-out chair on the train.. Do you for one second think that approaching the queue jumper and ask whats going on might perhaps be more fruitfull? rather than sitting here moaning about it and likewise with the doll-face in the middle of the train, anyone thought about goin up to her and given her a smack?

This is Irishness at it's best, sit here and moan about and do fu*k all...

Agree especially to those two above!
And also, men that look you up and down slowly while you are talking to them. Look in my eyes when you talk to me!

Things I hate.....

1: Not being able to find shoes that fit me - Went looking yesterday for a new pair of runners. Just wanted a cheap-ass pair for day-to-day use, nothing fancy. Now, is it just me or does every shop owner in the country think guys feet stop growing when they get to a size 9? Nowhere, and I mean nowhere, could I find a size 12, or even an 11 that I could have managed to squeeze into. Looked around, hmmm, let's see, size 7, size 8, size 9, ah bo***cks! Go up to the counter with a pair of the size 9's; "Excuse me, do you have these in a size 12? Or even an 11?" "Hang on till I look." Stand around for 20 minutes before girl comes back only to tell me, "No, sorry, 9 is the biggest we have." This pisses me off no end. I mean, it's not like I'm looking for a gold-and-diamond encrusted, mink-lined pair of shoes here, just a pair that will fit me! Christ! Shoe shop owners and retailers of Ireland, if you're reading this, please, PLEASE remember that some of us guys are bigger than a size 9 and stock your shelves accordingly.

2: When the Post Office/bank is packed and they think having one window open is enough - Another major gripe of mine which I'm sure is shared with many others. Why is it that when the queue in the Post Office or bank is stretching out the front door there is only one window open? But any other time you go in there and there's only yourself and another person waiting all the windows are open? Who in their infinite wisdom decided to come up with this policy? It doesn't take an Einstein to work out that the reverse should be done instead: all windows open when it's busy, only a couple open when it's relatively quiet. It beggers belief sometimes.

3: Companies who decide to change the taste of your favorite food with a "new and improved" flavour that ends up tasting like s**te - I'm sure you all know of examples of this phenomenon. I mean, if a flavour is tried and tested and people like it, why change it and end up turning people's stomachs and turn people off your product completely? In most cases where they do this in the hope of gaining more consumers, it only ends up backfiring on them and they loose whatever fans of the product they had in the first place and then don't gain any new ones either. Company goes bankrupt, big boss is left to be seen standing outside the factory gates locking them up for the last time crying to himself, "Oh God, if only I hadn't listened to those marketing idiots and we stuck with the original flavour. I'm ruined. RUINED!"

4: Companies that stop making your favorite food/shops that stop stocking it - In the same vein as the previous gripe, why is it that when you try something you really like, then end up becoming addicted to the stuff, 2 weeks later they either stop making it or shops stop stocking it? I call this the "Cadbury's Cream Egg Phenomenon". Everybody loves Cream Eggs (well, everybody I know), I'm addicted to the beggers, but why is it you only see them around in the run up to Easter? Usually from the start of February till the end of April or so. They are huge sellers for Cadbury's and I'm sure they would sell well all year round but they only seem to sell them for a few months each year. Leaving addicts of this confectionary goodness having to go cold turkey for the rest of the year. And the same goes for things like chilli-flavour Texicanos. I love these crisps and used to always buy the great big bags of them (perfect for a night in front of the telly) but I haven't seen a big bag of them around for almost a year now. Only these tiny, piddly piss-ant bags with about 10 crisps in them. Why? WHY? Bring back my monster bags, PLEASE!

I think you'll find road tax has to do with a vehicle's impact on the environment, and the road itself. hence why bigger vehicles pay more road tax. And why cyclists don't have to pay road tax. Should an articulated truck be entitled to forgoe all indicating and courtesy to other road users? After all, he does pay more road tax than the majority of other road users..."Fuck you little car driver, get out of my way, I pay more road tax, I've more right to be here". :rolleyes:

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.

What annoys me more is women, regardless of the queue behind them, are both unprepared coming up to the counter, and slow to leave.
They stand there, watch the cashier total everything up, wait till they're told how much it will cost, and then, only then, take their bag off their shoulder, rummage about for their purse, take out their purse, count all the paper money they have in it, and give the cashier the money. How much hassle could it possbly be to have your purse open and ready while the cashier is totalling up?
Then they get their change, scrunch it into a ball, unscrunch it again and remove the receipt, sort the notes into the little compartments, count all their paper money again, fold the receipt up, put it in another compartment, put purse back in bag, wuick rummage in bag to make sure everything's there, and then leave.
This really annoys me. I'll either say 'excuse me', hand my goods to the cashier over their head or shoulder. If they don't move or are right in the way I'll stand so close I could be standing on the backs of their feet until they move. There's room to stand aside. If they're going to be ignorant, I'm going to be ignorant.
My gf does the above all the time and it really annoys me. If I see her sorting her change at the till I just take the bags and walk away, don't wait for her.

(Note, the above is ok if there's no queue. I have no problem waiting those few extra seconds unless I've been standing in a queue.)

Do pedestrians contribute towards Ireland CO2 emissions which the EU charges us for? No. Do we pollute? No. Do we generally have as much money as car users? No. But we have the same rights in society, so it's only right that you ignorant polluting ****ers pay for our busses and pavements. You have the option to join us if you so desire.

And as for your ignorant view on queueing, I'm sure that you're the ignorant wanker who jumps in ahead of kids and old ladies, rather than trying to dodge in front of the likes of me.

And on my hate list today is an ignorant w*nker, like you.

Isn't that what message boards are for? Posting thoughts, comments, likes and dislikes? If I wanted something DONE about it then I'd go and do something, but I don't.

All I wanted was to post a couple of the things that have been getting on my nerves lately, hardly a crime is it? Did anyone ask you to read the thread?

nlgbbbblth · 09-01-2004 11:06PM

On buses People who stand downstairs when there are seats upstairs. This really bugs me. Where is the shame in going upstairs and checking for seats? So what if there aren't any (and 99% of the time there's at least 1 seat). When I'm upstairs I always have a look round the top deck before I get off and say to the idiots crowded downstairs that "There's at least 10/15 seats upstairs! Why don't you sit there instead of getting in people's way down here".
Also: people who think they have a divine right to your seat and that young people can't get tired. I have no problem giving up a seat to pregnant/blind/crutches/physically handicapped person. But just because you're old or have some sort of disability card (and are able-bodied) AND DON'T PAY FOR YOUR TICKET - (but flash a card to the driver when getting on) then get lost and sit upstairs

In Banks people who don't know their account number/who don't have dockets completed. Who chose the busiest time of the day (lunchtime) to do their banking and wonder why there aren't as many cashiers open.

Vinyl people who act surprised when you tell them you still buy vinyl and tell you that they "didn't think you could get records anymore". Just because they don't buy it and Golden Discs doesn't stock any doesn't when it no longer exists. Also people who say "they miss vinyl", complain that their turntable no longer works, but never do anything about it, despite you telling them that new turntables/needles can be purchased without difficulty

Music people who say they've never heard of a band you mention and sound like they think they're superior to you because they haven't. Ask the same person do they buy any music magazines/listen to specialist DJs/look at music websites and they'll say no. Well how the fcuk can they expect to hear of bands if they don't do this? The band you mention may be all over "The Ticket" section of the Irish Times but these people don't even bother to read it

nlgbbbblth · 09-01-2004 11:25PM

Soccer fans who support English clubs but always shout for the opposition when England are playing. People who think they're more Irish than you because they support Celtic. People who wear Celtic jersies to Ireland games. People who wear Rangers jersies to Northern Ireland games. People who wear Celtic jersies with Eire 32 or bombed places and dates on them.

Also people who think it's funny to spoil BBC polls by voting for something Irish and ludicrous. Just for a bit of craic. And claim not to hate the English. But hate to see Tim Henman doing well. But watch British TV etc.

You're completely right there, but I just wanted to register my thoughts on moany holes who sometimes ain't got anything better to do then moan about every god damn thing under the sun...

Sorry if I offended you in my opposition... moan away!

Oh my god! :eek: And I thought I had it bad. You have my deepest sympathies as I'm sure you know all about this problem much more than I do. At least occasionally I might be able to find a pair that fit, you must be tearing your hair out with frustration, at this stage.

Still though, having bigger than average feet does have it's advantages, now and again. Like those knowing smiles a girl will sometimes give you!

Also includes: The HUGE numbers of ppl lining up to use the ATMs in Jervis St. shopping centre - get a fricking laser card!

This might be stating the obvious but..... why dont you get a laser card? If ATM queues bother you so much........

No, you misunderstand him. He can't comprehend the stupidity of people who queue when they don't have to - moirdin isn't the one queueing merely looking aghast at those who are.
I also can't understand why you wouldn't use a laser card and am similarily befuddled by those queues.

Well done lads, Im happy out now. All the little things that get on peoples nerves is kinda funny. sh1t happens, get over it.
As for people slating other peoples interests(Britany Spears, English soccer,Celtic), whats it to you? They dont infringe on your life.

Kold · 10-01-2004 06:45PM

The fact that I rarely spend under 100 euros on a pair of trousers and my mother manages to shrink it within 2 weeks.
So they go from baggy ghetto pants to pants that fit to girl pants

I spent €52 on a pair of baggy brown cords last week! What a scam!

PhoenixRising · 10-01-2004 07:21PM

One thing which annoys me greatly is drivers who make no indication of thanks after you let them out or pull in for them to pass on a narrow road or a road with lots of parked cars. From my experience women are by far and away the worst offenders when it comes to this. I'm not sexist, it's just what I've observed.

So next time some courteous driver (like me

) lets you out, just a small wave of thanks, a nod...even a lift of a finger - it makes all the difference.

simu · 10-01-2004 07:54PM

People who stop to talk at doorways or on stairs and block others from passing. Grrr!

billy the squid · 10-01-2004 07:57PM

I hate people who ring your mobile with their number hidden and cant be bothered to leave a message.

I hate text messages

I loathe scumbags whose only goal is to cause hardship or misfortune to others

I hate overpriced taxis and the way some taxi drivers TRY to cherrypick fares at the railway station.

Things I hate.
