What little things annoy you?

Paddy Dignam · 26-07-2007 01:47PM #1

I'll get the ball rolling with this.

Why is it that some pubs insist on serving you a toasted cheese sandwich with a serviette UNDERNEATH it??? The cheese sticks to the bloody thing, and when you go to remove it you invariably end up with a lump of tissue and scalding hot cheese in one hand, and bit of toast in the other. This annoys me no end.

What little things annoy the rest of you??

(apart from yore Ma etc..;) )

Those "What little things annoy you?" threads that pop up on After Hours every week annoy me.

In case it has escaped your notice, Paddy Dignam is the name of the character who was buried on June 16th, 1904, in James Joyce's Ulysses.

Other little things that annoy me are pedants who think they are funny!

People who come to your Desk out of boredom with nothing in particular to talk about but they pick up EVERYTHING on your desk that they possibly can... then go to the sellotape dispenser and keep pulling off bits and chucking them at people while making Random smart comments and askinupid Questions. :mad: lol
...for the moment...

Someone who tries their hardest to be the first reply and bring the annoying word 'YOREMA' into it.

I mean it was funny years ago when yorema.com was around but nowadays it's lost all meaning.

Well you'll forgive me for being a newbie I hope. Just because you have 1,000 odd posts to your name and have been hanging around here for a while doesn't mean that the rest of us can't knock a bit of craic out of it. If you don't like these threads then don't bother reading them. It's that simple.

OH god don't get me started. Why does it take longer for them to make a burger with just ketchup than a burger with half a salad bowl in it!!

Die hard vegetarians who refuse to eat anything cooked in the same pan/pot as meat etc..... then eat chips from the chipper or from Mickey-D's despite the fact that it was knowingly cooked in the same oil as meat products.

Yes Terry. You have spoken. Your delicate heart can obviously not bear witness to newbies getting to know each other. I'm sorry to have offended you. Maybe someday I'll be like you and have 5,000 odd posts after my name.

I think it’s the fact that you seem to be having a private conversation rather than contributing to the forum that’s pissing off the mods.

You want to know what annoys me (and I'm a newbie too) is other newbie’s coming along slagging the mods and ending up generating a void between new users and old users.

Niamho! · 26-07-2007 02:34PM

well i didnt slag anybody....we are contributing but gettin Whinged at in the process!! How am i supposed to know if somethings already been done if i havent seen it? Barrell of Bleedin' laugh's you's lot are....

Firstly, I didn't know Terry was a mod.

Secondly, it didn't take long before others came along and put the mockers on the thread.

Thirdly, I think it's only natural that newbies are going to club together. But if we have wise guys who have obviously seen it all before jumping in on us and telling us what to talk about well that's a different matter. Of course we are going to talk each other when we post, isn't this how we get to find out about people? I think Terry was being a wee bit precious. There were 2 or 3 people chatting together over the course of 3 posts - hardly justification for a mod to come along and police it as if we were children.

Fourthly, I've found another little thing that annoys me!!

/sigh/ If you look at my post i didn't quote you. So in fact nothin was aimed at you but OK go ahead and get annoyed anyway. Oh and by the way if your a bit sensitive which you seem to be. I dont think after hours is for you.

It says it look right there under his name. There it is good chap.

Try looking for previous threads before posting a new one. Its in the Charter I suggest you give that a quick read. Did you honestly think there wouldn't be a what annoys me thread already? or did you just want one for yourself.
