When you buy a ham salad roll and the dozy fool behind the counter packs all the lettuce, tomato, onion and cucuumber in, then f***s two slices of ham on top.

Ask them to put the ham in first, problem solved.

Getting stuck behind slow-moving people on the footpath when I'm trying to get somewhere in a hurry. It's especially annoying after work when I want to get home as quickly as possible but I'm forced to watch my bus drive off from the bus stop because I'm stuck behind a group of people walking three abreast.

Nearly being knocked down by cyclists on the footpath or at pedestrian crossings when the man is green and then being glared at as if I am in the wrong.

People who cut the queue, It is really annoying and I usually say something and one time nearly got in a fight this fecker around my age 19 but I was about 14 at the time. He was a member of the hiace brigade (knick knack paddy whack) There was about 15 people in the queue at McDonalds and he cut the queue, to the front and I said something like back of the line moron and he said whacha ya gonna do and shoved me, There was an off duty Garda in plain clothes who saw it happening as he was eating with his wife and kids and he immediately got up and told the ass*ole to leave the premises immediately or he would arrest him. Guards FTW

I also hate to be on a bus or train etc and hear old biddys talking it is just so annoying.

this is from an email. i didnt write it but its very funny

1.* People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know
where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when
I ask where the toilet is?
*
2.* People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room
for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the
channel manually.
*
3.* When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too".
Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?
*
4.* When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is.
Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do
this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!
*
5.* When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I
paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.
*
6.* People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a
choice there, did ya sunshine?
*
7.* When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then
there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there
must have been something before it, couldn't be new.
*
8.* When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest
damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?
*
9. *When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come
yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

I have a similar one: people who light up in a car. Someone did that to me yesterday, and I had to spend a whole journey across town nearly hanging out the window.

The bus one is good too ^^

dogbert_the_dog · 26-05-2006 07:50PM

noticed this on the radio (again) earlier today. - people who use the retort 'absolutely' to condescendingly dismiss the point that was just made to them. Can't recall it ever having been said to me but it comes across as patronising and pig ignorant when I hear it used.
And wjile I'm ranting, people who use stupid bloody rhyming slang. I've nothing against rhyming slang in itself, just the people who use it all seem to be the same breed of annoying fools, and succeed in merely giving the impression they're trying too hard

Max_Damage · 26-05-2006 07:56PM

Dripping taps, enough said.

Granted, alot of the above comments also piss me off aswell.

SpAcEd OuT · 26-05-2006 08:05PM

Personally I hate spanish students on the buses in the summer, they are so fukin loud and annoying, I can put my mp3 on full volume and still hear their non sensical chatter.

quickbeam · 26-05-2006 08:08PM

Great topic!

A lot of mine are driving related:

People who don't bother to park correctly and end up taking up two parking spaces.

People who tailgate you when you're trying to back in to a parking space.

Pedestrians who saunter across the road just presuming that you'll slow down so as not to kill them.

Drivers that don't thank you if you let them out in a traffic jam.

Oh, and in relation to the poster who complained about checkout people scanning through the next person's shopping while you're still packing, that's a definite one for me too. Or if they don't start scanning they just watch as you pack. Nowadays I finish my packing before I hand over the money and if they can't even be bothered to help I take my time over it too.

There's loads more that pi$$ me off, but that's all I can think of for now.

There's plenty more driving and other stuff that annoy me, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

Yes indeed. All very anger-inducing. Those "sauntering" assholes seem to be particularly common in Cork (the compo capital of Ireland apparently). As for the drivers who don't acknowledge when you've let them out at a junction or whatever, they're usually women. Another thing that irritates me about my gender.
Another infuriating one: When you're trying to reverse into a space and some twat walks into that very space and might even stop and just stand there. Why pick the space that someone's trying to reverse into, asshole? There are plenty of areas around that space with stationary cars, but no. It has to be the one someone's trying to reverse into. Grrr!

Sofaspud · 26-05-2006 09:09PM

Hrm, my biggest ones would be:

People who take everything too seriously, I.E. get easily offended, and are just generally overly hormonal.

And people with no common sense. If I explain something to them, they shouldn't ask me the same question five seconds later. If i say no, I mean no. Stop annoying me!

Oh, also, people who can't form their own opinions, so adopt the opinions of whatever seems popular(which is most people in the country), and people who don't realise that opinions are opinions, so try to force them onto people.

Dec McC · 26-05-2006 09:20PM

What about people smoking in the doorway of a pub, that really gets on my
t1ts. They wont even move to let you in, just breathe their stench all over you.:mad:

Steffano2002 · 27-05-2006 02:34AM

Just got a new one! Went to the Mater Hospital A&E to get an X-ray of my shin (just realised a piece of bone broke off 4 weeks after hurting it...). Anyway, got there at 19:30. At 2:30 (7 hours later) I asked the security guard how many people were ahead of me and he said: "Loads. Go home and come back at 9:00, you'll still be in the queue...". I just want to burn the place down now... :mad:

padi89 · 27-05-2006 07:42AM

What really gets on my tits is the people that approach or single you out as you walk along the street collecting for charities in the street.If i want to give money il approach YOU ,Yes i see you with you big fvcking illuminous jacket and your clipboard,in fact,i could hear you from a hundred yards away pestering people for their time.
A couple of times lately i have replyed in a nice manner,"look if i want to give money il approach you,thank you",to which i get a look as if i just skinned a kitten.

mikemac · 27-05-2006 10:03AM

People who keep hammering the button at pedestrian crossings.
Pressing it 50 times won't make the traffic lights change any faster.

Once you've succesfully pressed it, a red light comes on so there's no point pressing it again

Which reminds me. Last night two little scumbags knocked the glass out of the traffic lights outside our estate with a golf club. Hope thats fixed soon, accident waiting to happen

Huggles · 27-05-2006 10:17AM

I hate when your walking behind someone who subsequently stops dead to light a ****ing ciggarrette............agggh!!

Then you smack into teh back of them and they scream at you!

Can smokers not WALK and Light smokes at the same time?

Chaos_Path · 27-05-2006 12:50PM

-forgetting my mp3 player when im on the bus.train and theres screaming babies

SpitfireIV · 27-05-2006 02:01PM

One thing that bugs me...........maybe its just a Carlow thing,

You're walking along, two/three women abreast on a path they WILL NOT move in to let you pass, you have to jump off the path for them, avoiding oncoming traffic! FACT!

You meet two/three men walking abreast they will move in to let you pass.....good manners!

Little yobs, they wrecked a newly renovated seating area near me last night, why did they do that??? Oh I forgot, 'They have nothing else to do, blaa blaa blaa, poor kids'........ARGHH!!!

Eh, that's pretty much an everywhere thing. In such an instance I'll just take the outside of the path and continue walking in a straight line right into them. I've yet to have an instance where the one that was in my line of sight didn't move out of the way in time..

Just walk straight at them and don't apologise if you hit / bang into them. They're in the wrong as they should not be walking abreast on a footpath.

i have to agree. and one thing that has to be added is about the peeps who collect for the Hanley centre. ok, so they sell scratch cards for 3euro each, so far so good, right? well, no one is ever going to win. poo, i hear u say. but at least 3euro was given to the Hanley Centre, u think. but wait, another catch! lets break the 3euro down a bit. 1euro and 25 cent goes to the production company who make the card, the 'volunteer' gets paid, yes PAID, 1euro for each card they sell so that leaves us with 75cent. only 75 cent goes to the Hanley Centre in the end. a disgrace. even charity is corrrupt

Terry · 27-05-2006 02:40PM

people who stand in supermarket aisles and chat away, oblivious to the fact that other people need to get by. like the 4 teenagers standing right inside the supermarket door a couple of days back, blocking the whole entrance or the women who stop in the middle of the aisle with their trollies and talk about what happened on last nights eastenders.

that and my cock. it's really small.

This also gets on my tits. I've always thought that if I were a traffic light engineer, I'd deliberately program them to reset the timer if someone pressed the button more than a couple of times in one second

Possibly more irritating are the people who press the button a couple of times when they get to it, then wait for 8 seconds, then hammer it 10 times in one second. Logically, if the 10 presses in one second were going to make things faster, wouldn't it make more sense to have hammered the button as soon as you got to it rather than after waiting 8 seconds?

Things like this show how little people actually use their brains.

Well why are you walking so closely behind them? Maybe one of their pet peeves is people who walk two inches behind them!

As you're walking toward them, don't look straight at them - act as if you're very interested in whatever is on the other side of the road. They'll notice that you're not looking where you're going and move. This is a tactic I use for walking up Grafton St (of course it doesn't work so well if the other person isn't looking where they're going either...)
