    80% of Ireland. People are just full of crap. Promise this, promise that, then strangely, they fail to produce.

    I really dislike parents who, when doing the shopping, give their little darling a bar or crisps off the shelf to eat on the way around. Can they not wait?
    I witnessed a mother giving a girl of no more than two a full Milky Bar (the worst chocolate, health wise) in the queue for the till. Just WAIT ffs!

    Kids are one thing but in Superquinn in Lucan, I saw a woman dispatch an Actimel and half a bar of Turkish delight while still walking around doing her shopping.

    Supervalu there was someone working their way through a bag of croissants.. how can the cashier trust that they're paying for the correct amount of croissants if there's none in the fookin bag!

    You're both close but it's actually "The customer is always wrong and quite possibly a moron but grit your teeth and let them think they're right."

    I really hate bullsh!tters who tell amazing stories about their adventures and how much booze they drink, fights they won etc. when it is obviously all made up. I've worked with a few of them and they really are in cloud cuckoo land. I can't stand being alone with them because I know they will have another tale to impress me with.

    They think everyone thinks they are big men when in fact we all realise they are just Walter Mittys. If there is any Boardsies out there who bullsh!t about their exploits then take my advice - give up. People might nod and appear to be amazed by you but most people know when they are being fooled and really we all think you are pretty pathetic and incredibly annoying.

    Also I hate it when I pay for something in a shop or a pub and the person places the change on the counter instead of into my open hand. What is that all about? I don't have leprosy.

    In some Subway sandwich shops they have a tray that the coins are automatically spit into by the machine. Now that's impersonal.

    Random whistling. If you're going to whistle, at least whistle a tune!
    Crowds of people. Especially tourists. Especially Spanish, student tourists. They are actually more annoying than any other group, possibly because there are so many of them. I was on the bus one day, there was no room upstairs because there were about 40 spanish kids up there. We reach there stop, they all get off. Just before the teacher hops off, she says something to the driver and then turns around and tells all the kids to get back on! So they all get back on, we go to the next stop, like 200 m away, and they get off there! Just walk!!!!!

    Ditto on the bullsh1tters.
    There was a girl in my year and she would always go on about all the fellas she'd been with, how many times, etc, etc, etc. Complete sh1te if you ask me.
