Things that really pisses you off?

    1. People standing in the middle of door ways of a public building talking and not expecting anyone to come in or out ??? And they stay there, dont move. Surely, can they not take it to a quite corner away from under the door?

    2. People that gathers around bins. In galway city on a busy saturday afternoon, whenever i go dumping something there is always a crowd of people around the bin. When i go to dump something i cant get to it. I tried dumping it once on the crowd yapping on it, they gave out to me for littering. Can people not just stay away from the bins?

    3. People that are so into their conversation, they aren't aware of whats around them. They turn around and walk into me.

    Am i the only one that is aware of my surroundings and actually care? Or do people just stand in door ways and what not just so they can be excused by everyone?

    Prejudice, bigotry and total lack of respect for human rights based on opinions that are not even your own.

    Lollypop ladies that somebody forget to make redundant. They build a set of traffic lights and some knob in a yellow coat with a stop sign thinks its them stopping traffic and not the mysterious RED light that happens to be on at the same time.

    FIRE THEM and save some money!!!

    What really pisses me off?

    people who walk into me when i'm trying to talk to my friends standing in the middle of a doorway

    People who try to throw litter in the bin when me and my friends are standing around it

    I hate bumping into people when i turn around after talking to my friends in a great conversation

    People who think they are aware of their surroundings and use this as an excuse to get passed us who stand in doorways and crowd around bins. We are the blockers, and We'll block YOU!!!:mad:

    But other things that piss me off are
    Scumbags
    Crime
    The Government

    I have to say, people that correct others' grammar is something that truly pisses me off. It serves absolutely no purpose but to make the corrector feel superior, when, in fact, a lot people will think less of that person for being so dry and pedantic.

    In the case of the thread title, do you really think the OP doesn't know to use the verb 'to piss' properly? It was a damned accident. You understood what the OP was trying to say and that's the ultimate goal of language.

    Indeed .Correcting a posters spelling is ok if it's used to return and remind a sarcastic poster of his faults . Somebody once complained that to many people were using the word wimminz instead of women ,as if the people using it didnt know the difference.Sadly there are a few who will scour the threads looking for their next miss spelling to correct .They will feel it is their duty to mankind and makes them feel good about themselfs for doing so .

    People who suddenly stop walking when in shopping centres

    "Oooh... look at that shiny thing"... SMACK!.

    Some day somebody will do some scientific research into why so called intelligent human sardines try to climb into a sardine tin before the other sardines have escaped yes !

    Pedestrians who come to a junction, and don't actually stop walking, push the pedestrian light, walk across the road - cars or no cars. Leaves us drivers looking at green man light while there's not a soddin pedestrian in sight! grr..... makes me so angry!!

    so angry I'm going to bed!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    Lot's of things piss me off:
    Scumbags (ovbiously)

    Children (annoying little fcukers)

    Fingerless gloves (can't stand them - no-one can wear them without looking like a homeless junkie)

    People who look for every excuse to piss and moan and have a go at the Government without offering any constructive ideas of their own.

    And I do get really annoyed by people who are extremely pro-life and anti-abortion. Because, imo, they're normally full of crap.

    I do that on purpose sometimes, then I wait at the side of the road without crossing until the lights turn orange, then walk slowly across the road.

    Some people just get so riled up over nothing, kind of funny to pass the time looking at them cursing and spitting at their windscreen :D

    People not speaking English, particularly when I'm in a foreign country. I mean come on ffs!!!!

    1) People who do not use their indicators whilst driving!! At junctions, roundabouts etc...

    2) People who don't say thank you if I hold the door open for them, or people who right in front of me and let the door slam into my face, or someone who just works right through the door as I am holding it open instead of holding the door for the next person.

    3) People who can't park properly and take up 2 spaces!! The lines are there for a reason. Park between them! grrr
