Things that annoy you...

Aside from "people posting on discussion fora giving out about things that annoy them", what annoys you?

For me, it has to be something I had long forgotten but rediscovered tonight: the people whom you meet in classes who monopolise the conversation to the extent of not allowing the lecturer/teacher, the person whose expertise you are paying to hear, to teach you and everybody else.

Everybody tries to be polite to them, but you can see the eyes being raised as time after time the same person interrupts to redirect the class to whatever flight of fancy he or she has taken. It is shameful than any adult with a smidgen of sensitivity or respect could be oblivious to their selfishness among a group of people.

Anyway, what annoys you?

Christ, I remember that sort of carry-on in my own college days. There used to be this particular bitch who would continually inject her damned feminist nonsense into whatever it was we were currently studying (I studied English lit.) It was unbearable. All she wanted to do was spout off and dominate the seminars with shit talk.

It always seems to be mature students as well OP. The older they are, the more likely they are to monopolise the conversation with the tutor!!

I'm currently getting really fucked off with facebook changing it's format every couple of days. Another big change this evening:mad: . Any more of it, and I'm leaving facebook!*

*I tell myself this, but it's like the Hotel California (you can check in but you can never leave) and I'm too addicted to delete my profile, so it's never gonna happen. I'm just kidding myself.

The way the ads are all on at the same time on every channel.

When a DJ on the radio doesn't say what a song was after they play it, yeah I only started listening half way through but that song kicked ass now what the f*ck was it?

replace once a year xbox360's (mine just died).

The daily micro instances of rudeness you see every day. For example people parking on the paths that bisect outdoor shopping centre car parks meaning you can't fit a trolley through and have down to the end.

People having loud phone conversations on public transport.

Every c*nt you meet going on about "Da Dubs" when they go to about four championship games a year.

Cupcake_Crisis · 21-09-2011 08:54PM

People cutting across you mid sentence

PinkFly · 21-09-2011 08:54PM

People that never say 'thank you'

I have to agree entirely with this, even though I have huge respect for people who go back to college as mature students and know that there are far too few people in Third Level in Ireland (compared to other EU countries) who are in their 40s, 50s or 60s. What am I saying - I'm technically a mature student (over 23), but the people I'm thinking of would be from in their late 40s on and it's like they feel they have something to prove to us all. If they could only deal with it privately that would be appreciated.

Fellas who were still going to school well into their twenties when there were loads of jobs during the mid noughties.

In fairness, they are probably quite happy with that choice. Had they not been in college, they almost certainly - because banks were throwing money at any breathing human being - would have been in employment and bought a house at a ridiculous price and be paying for it for decades to come.

By the time the Irish economy collapsed in 2008 I had qualifications up to and including Level 10 coming out my ears. Yes, I owed @ €26,000 on the day of my viva voce, which I've now mostly paid off, but I had none of the massive property debt of my friends, and more qualifications than any of them. I'm now much more free than them, and happy that I reached my educational goals.

I'll also be in a better position to buy a house when the property market reaches realistic prices from 2016 onwards.
