People who will walk int work at 8.59am on a cold/wet Friday morning and then exclaim things like "Happy Friday!" in some sort of attempt to increase staff morale/bonding.

You deserve to go to hell for that.

Try not standing up in a fair number of dublin city centre pubs and see how well the locals take it.

I think IRA people dislike you not standing up for the national anthem.

Jesus Hank, what pub's were you in?

I have never heard the national anthem in a Dublin Pub in my life.

Other than from TV a football stadium via the TV.

Your not the first person I have heard say that though.

The pubs I have been in late at night over the years, tended to be playing stuff like Black Betty round closing time

There were a few pubs I used to drink in around town when I was 14/15.

They were the shiftiest dives around at that time, full of ra heads.
The majority of them are closed now, they were dotted around the O'Connell street area (not on O'Connell street though).

Cleaning dead wet hair out of the drain gives me shivers.

Hair is dead already, don't worry, you didn't kill it.

Fair Sh1tty gives me the dry heaves. Anything but that. Eastenders is high art compared to it. Ros na Run is quite good in comparison. Subtitles ftw!

Never heard of it.
Dunno, might have been at some stage.
Usually tended to stay close to O'Connell Street though.
That way if we didn't get served in one, there were a rake load more to chance our arm in.

The feeling of paper. Especially just after I've wash my hands. Yuck.

I loved that film.

Very brave of them and the cast to make considering the subject matter.

Hell of a film alright.
It's one of those I don't think I could bring myself to watch again though.

Bacon is fantastic in it, possibly his best performance ever.

Vinta81 · 31-03-2010 09:48PM

People who crack their knuckles. One of my friends does it and I hate the sound.

Religiouse debates on the internet....

Highest point of idiocy reached on both sides...Each side argueing is so stooopid! :rolleyes:

People who sing Ole,Ole,Ole!

People who sing Fields of Athenry with the bit added..

The People who appear as diners on "The Restaurant" They would not know the difference between a cows arse and a lemon!

People who ring Joe Duffy and drag the story out about the price of a loaf!

The thought of breaking my leg or any bone in my body.

People who drive on the right hand side of the motorway even though the left side is clear..

My wives youngest sister when she just apears in front of me...

When i've tried to watch the movie "The Room". Cringeworthy acting at its best

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Room_%28film%29

The Room has been cited by some critics as one of the worst films ever made

That scene in Misery

where Kathy Bates breaks James Caan's ankles with a mallet to stop him from running away

. Arghhhhhh. Cannot watch that part.

For anyone brave enough you can watch it here. I'm not going to embed it because that's just mean.

Duggy747 · 31-03-2010 10:26PM

People singing to songs on the radio or stereo, dunno why but I shrivel up at the notion of someone singing around me! (there are exceptions, of course, like Michael Jackson, Thin Lizzy, or Queen :pac:)

People who use extremely random humour (Galwegian Humour as I call it :pac:) where people just say stupid things or do "zany" things like hop in a wheely bin! I think it's worse when people actually find that crap funny.

Guys who were forced to watch Twilight or The Notebook with their wimmen and then try to recommend the films to me.................get away from me ya sissy!

When watching people arguing over something like politics or religion and one side gets it woefully wrong on their "facts" and continue digging a hole for themselves!

People acting hard when they look like a gust of wind could kill them. Stop telling me you'd laugh at a Gardaì's face when clearly you'd shrivel up and co-operate with them.

Anything to do with fingernails in movies like The Fly *shudders*

When someone cries around me over a relationship or something relatively meaningless.........what the hell am I supposed to do?

This emotion you people call...............love?

It's a word Duggy, nothing more.

People just try and wrap a load of crap around that word.

P.S. Fantastic post, pretty much agreed with everything you said.

Bad Karaoke singers

The X factor

Winning streak

The other day at the O2 in Greenwich when I went through one of those scanner things(like they have at the airport) and it beeped.
I knew my belt had probably set it off.
Guy asks me to open my coat so he can wave that wand scanning doohickey about.
"No problem" says I .
Open my coat only to realize my fly was down. Waaaay down.

Cringe!

Always wear cute underwear people.

Lol, i remember once, the critics were trying to guess the type of wine that they were drinking. It went something like this

Paulo: "It could be a sauvignon Blanc perhaps?"

Tom: "Hmmm, perhaps but i'm not getting any fruity tones from it, it tastes more like...... etc etc......... Perhaps it could be a Muscadet?"

Paulo: *Smirk on Face* "Oh no, this is too good to be a muscadet ha ha!"

What was the wine? Yes a Muscadet.

(I have no idea what type of wine it was - just examples.)

Another time there was this D4 young gun in the restaurant with his hot gf. Thought he knew everything about food and tried to show off to the gf.... Anyhow, he ordered soup which was cold - except it was supposed to be cold - He threw up an almighty stink before he was told.

Thing was, most people would shrink back into his seat blushing, he kept on argueing and giving out about it to the gf! The plonker!

What makes you cringe or grimace?
