    I'm completely de-sensitised to them ads now. The ones that get me are the stories they show on comic relief.

    Good oul Lenny has the whole family in the knots and then the mood is suddenly thrust into an awkard silence, people want to leave but know they shouldnt. But we still dont pick up the phone!

    People who stand between the wall and the pole for the bus stop - so that you have to squeeze to go past or else go out on the road.

    (especially where the footpath is quite narrow)

    Also:

    Banks (I hate going into them)
    New Dart Trains - why the big seats ffs! - why not go for subway style seating - more seats AND standing room available!!!

    How about those abortion protests they have outside the Bank on Westmoreland St. - they show horrible pictures - and kids can see them! I think its crazy - especially since abortion is against the law in Ireland - why do they bother!

    I think i'm going to hold a protest against driving on the right hand side of the road.

    *this isn't about abortion - just the images - we can leave that discussion to a different post.

    People who can't use ATM's properly really grind my gears. Go inside to the fooking teller this is a fast cash line.

    ahaha yes i'd love to meet the guy who designed them. they took out four cubicle - for want of a better word - to make space for more standing.

    yet if they followed the subway style of seating (seats just down the sides) then they would have even more standing, and more seating aswell.



    i'll add my own here,

    people in tesco's that take a trolley load of shopping to the self service checkout even though it plainly says 10 items or less.

    people who read your free paper/magazine when you're on public transport, get your own ffs!

    good one - and people who throw cigarette butts on the ground - or out the window! Do they not realise that they are littering aswell!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,062 ✭✭✭Fighting Irish

    The general crapness of Dublin Bus. How they're very regular when you're in no rush but when you need to be at a place for a certain time they're nowhere to be seen!

    Emo kids. 'Nuff said.

    When shopping at Dunnes and the person behind the til doesn't give me a sec to pack my shopping into my bag before they start firing the next person's stuff on down.

    Whatever happened to common courtesy!

    Similarly - people who stop in doorways to have conversations. Morons:mad:

    people who light a smoke while you're eating. Big problem in college houseing!

    Very true! I shall add it to my list!

    People who chew with their mouth open

    Oh those two really get to me. I'm liable to go postal on those people some day. Especially people "chomping" with their gob open when they eat. I can feel myself getting more agitated with each new bite. I feel like shouting "What the fnck is wrong with you?! Surely your parents got on to you about this when you were younger?!"

    Another fantastic one! I'm adding that one too!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,326 ✭✭✭Zapp Brannigan


    Ooh another one.

    People who you are walking behind and suddenly stop to either: talk or stare in a window. My god that makes me so mad.

    Another thing that gets me is people who push around buggies. They seem to think they own the pathway. I remember one time when me and a few friends were walking through Blanch Shopping Centre and my friend was walking and he dodged someone who abruptly stopped (ggrrr!) and ended up standing in front of someone pushing a buggy towards us. Needless to say my friend was clattered with the buggy and then proceeded to get shouted at by the wielder of the mobile weapon. Ridiculous!

    When people stand two abreast on an escalator.

    When people push both buttons to call a lift although they only intend to go in one direction.

    When people address me as "bud".

    When people say "cheers" instead of "thanks/thank you".

    OH MY GOD I forgot the most annoying thing!!! People who p!$$ on the toilet seat! How could I forget!? :eek:

    Years ago shops used to have a long board hinged at one end for diverting the next shoppers things to the other side of the packing counter.

    People who are more worried about not wanting to change the channel during the ad break in Home and Away than millions of people starving to death.

    Also, bad spelling.

    That is my No.1 of all time. Its just laziness in the extreme. I hate it so so much.

    People who snore
    People who lie
    People who chew with their mouth open

    These are three of my biggest pet hates.

    Most people snore a little from time to time, and a reasonable level of snoring isn't a big deal. But when it goes right through the wall and rattles the windows, then it's a problem. There are few things more infuriating than being kept awake by someone else's snoring (I have several fist-shaped dents in my bedroom wall to testify :eek:)

    I've been on the wrong end of a few habitual liars in my time - what makes it worse is when they tell crap that is obviously ridiculous and expect it to be believed. We all have a few unbelieveable stories, but I find that if someone seems to constantly have a tall tale to tell, I mark them off as a waffle machine.

    I usually have a long fuse, but the mouth-open-chewing thing is the one thing that will make me see red within seconds. If they're also making lip-smacky noises along with it, it makes me want to smack them in the lips. It's one of the most IGNORANT things someone can do - they even look like a fúcking gormless halfwit doing it. How hard can it possibly be to CLOSE YOUR FECKING MOUTH, JETHRO :mad:

    Well, you might find solace in the fact that they clearly have a tiny penis :D

    I'd like to add to the list:

    Morons who YELL on their mobiles. It makes me want to explain to them how their voice is carried over distance via microwaves and that the person on the other end can hear them without them needing to shout. It's not two cans and a string FFS.

    People who have yet to master the (apparently) difficult pronunciation of the phrases 'please' and 'thank you'. Also, seeing as I work in an internet café and callshop, people who can't even say the words 'phone' or 'computer', preferring instead to do a little phone thing with their hand (with optional accompanying grunt), or a little typing action thing on an invisible keyboard, leaving me to explain that I don't understand sign language.

    Another small one that just reminded me of itself as I typed this: people who are unable to hand money to someone behind a counter, preferring instead to dump them on the countertop.

    I hate when the images are clearly showing misinformation and they're lying because they know damn well noone will care if the fetus is accurately depicted thumbnail size

    I hate persistent ignorance and lying
