Would like to hear some peoples views on this one.

Heres mine:

-People using credit cards to buy 1 or 2 items in the newsagent
-A picture of bloody Jordan on the front of every OK or Hello Magazine. Seriously, the woman lives on the covers of these.
-Queues, mainly in traffic, in shopping & at bank queues with people putting in their cards into the wall more than once.
-Slow drivers on twisty back roads doing 30mph in a 50mph zone for no reason with a train of cars including me behind them.
- When your phone rings in your jeans pocket while driving.
- Irelands weather system with its "scattered showers". 1 minute its dry, then it rains, then stops, brilliant. Then it rains again.
-Rap videos the bling by the ton load - jewellery, muscles, cars, hot women etc. Boring.

May I address your points sir?

-People using credit cards to buy 1 or 2 items in the newsagent
sometimes the ATM queue is ****ing massive!
-A picture of bloody Jordan on the front of every OK or Hello Magazine. Seriously, the woman lives on the covers of these.
someone should send her to mars
-Queues, mainly in traffic, in shopping & at bank queues with people putting in their cards into the wall more than once.
grr... use online banking and know how much money you have before you go looking for it!
-Slow drivers on twisty back roads doing 30mph in a 50mph zone for no reason with a train of cars including me behind them.
50mph is not a target! it should be the minimum permissable speed however
- When your phone rings in your jeans pocket while driving.
just answer it and shout madly "one second, one second" for about 5 mins until the person gives in and hangs up
- Irelands weather system with its "scattered showers". 1 minute its dry, then it rains, then stops, brilliant. Then it rains again.
this is fantastic. european heatwaves suck. dont mock this.
-Rap videos the bling by the ton load - jewellery, muscles, cars, hot women etc. Boring.
yes. . hot women .. boring .. just pack them all into my house will you and ill sort the problem out!

Andrewf20 · 14-10-2007 01:07AM

I probably should have said nothing about the hot women.

The problem I have with the phone is that its a nightmare getting it out of the pocket while sitting in the driving seat with a belt across the lap and the driving to do. The sensible thing to do of course, would be to leave it on the dash, but I never seem to remember to do this, so i usually just let it ring out.

I guess your kinda right in a way about the weather. Ive been in an Arizona heat wave. Hell.

14-10-2007 01:10AM

That's right. You knocked and complained about all those hot women. it's the hot Arizona countryside for you sir! :P

They sell them in Dunnes in Blanchardstown. They don't work if your phone doesn't have a flat back though.. that ruled out my k800i

Of course, he has to remember to put the phone on it. Maybe you'd like to try some pirate memory games?

humbert · 14-10-2007 01:16AM

Double negatives.

Ill probably just get and A4 page ripped out and sellotape it to the dash with the words "Place phone here when driving" and an arrow pointing with a big blotting pen. Easy.

I like this idea! I'm willing to invest in this product!

It seems to me that you are a very impatient person who should read up on the rules of the road.

Andrewf20 · 14-10-2007 01:40AM

Im fine with the rules of the road, but I do agree that I get very frustrated in traffic delays but the delays are so bad in Dublin that its something I cant help.

Nightwish · 14-10-2007 02:08AM

Man I hate everything

*Dance music
*Rap music
*Emo
*Whiney singer songwriters
*Rich kid indie bands a la Keane, The Kooks etc

Ruu_Old · 14-10-2007 02:18AM

Top of the list is...

-People waiting for every last grocery item bagged and THEN root in the bag for purse before counting out a bunch of change or worse, writing a cheque!

-Rap music
-Child television stars who won't go away, the chap who played one of the Partridge Family and the twit who played Bobby Brady.

Stop putting your phone in your pocket, it's not fúcking rocket science lad.

Deliverance XXV · 14-10-2007 11:14AM

People who stay in bed until two or three in the day.

keefg · 14-10-2007 11:21AM

Pet hate??

My neighbour has a pet dog who doesn't stop f***ing barking from 8am to 11pm every f***ing day......and guess what?.........I F**KING HATE IT :mad:

Hmmm......maybe I should post this in the shooting forum and one of those lads can help with a solution.

You could send her to me for a few nights, although I would probably get better results throwing a few sausages up O'Connell St !!

Kold · 14-10-2007 11:36AM

When people pronounce year 'yurrr' and use the word 'an' in front of a word that begins with h (non-silent) like historic.

There is an excuse. Bed is nice....

I'm in it right now... hahahaha... plus I'm in a time zone that's an hour ahead of you... 3pm here I come!

I have a friend who, on his day off tends to waste most of his day.
And if he was on the beer the night before......
Don't understand it?

Nightwish · 14-10-2007 01:06PM

My boyfriend does it. When he's on holidays from work he'd rather lie in bed all day than say...go on holiday.

Deliverance XXV · 14-10-2007 01:12PM

I was in The Canaries last week with another lad and he was the same.
Every morning I was up a couple hours before him! Even on holidays!
Why?! :mad:

Well that was me yesterday, a week of having no choice, but working late to get stuff finished, will generally do that to ya!!

Some stuff that pisses me off:

People using credit/laser cards in a petrol station, and there's a queue
People using self service checkout in Tescos, with way over 10 items.
People taking full blown private calls in work, and not going away from the desk to take them, and they speak too loud.
Motorists who don't know what an indicator is.
Same as above with in regards to: roundabouts, parallel parking, going too damn slow for my liking.

Schlemm · 14-10-2007 01:21PM

Staying in bed until the mid afternoon is annoying if done on a regular basis or after a night on the sup...but it's excusable as an extremely rare treat if you're genuinely knackered and actually sleep until 2 or 3, rather than just loafing.

I hate crappy radio stations, boring offices, insurance companies, banks, ads, liars, bad drivers, drones, idiots, mould on bread, burnt food, and Dublin.

Mr. CooL ICE · 14-10-2007 01:43PM

A door constantly knocking off the door frame in a draught.

Housemates not opening the window and closing the door after having a shower or taking a smelly dump.

People working behind a deli counter who have no idea how to make a roll, and give you a mass of food balancing on a piece of bread, and carefully wrapping it before handing it to you. How do they expect you to eat these things?

Groups of people standing talking in the doorway to a shop (im looking at you, gangs of foreign students) and not moving despite people constantly asking them to get out of the way.

Badly placed roadworks signs that make the road even more dangerous.

Obese women who wear skimpy clothes. Don't listen to Mika; Unbeknown to you, he's causing you to publicly humiliate yourself.

Boy racers with the horrible sounding exhaust, blaring out pounding, repetitive dance (almost rave) music, complete with helium vocals.

star-pants · 14-10-2007 02:08PM

Have to agree with-

motorists who appear to have forgotten where their indicator is... perhaps they like the mystery of us 'guessing' where they are going

people who don't know how to make a wrap/sandwich etc..
No I don't like having a SQUARE of wrap with a wadge of filling that just might kill someone if I hit them with it

adding-

people who hate self service checkouts but insist on going to them and constantly complain when it won't work

people who drive up your backside in traffic / beep at you for letting someone turn (when clearly it's not actually holding anyone up because the traffic in front is stopped anyway!)

people who CRAWL down a busy path in town and then decided suddenly to stop right in front of you to ponder the rest of their day...

I'm sure there's more...

ROCKMAN · 14-10-2007 02:10PM

The way 99% of people on-line have this unreal self- belief that their hard ,tough as nails and have the ability to kick the s**t out of anybody at the drop of a hat.
Oh the joys of on-line anonymity

Ps wonder how long before some on-line macho man comes on and states the usual " shut up or i'll slap you......... type crap.
