Things that annoy you...

When someone posts the exact same thing as you, after you have said it and they get 50 thanks and your post is ignored!

cocoshovel · 22-09-2011 04:58PM

People who have really loud irritating songs as their ring tones. Just stick to a nice ring ring for f**k sake!

People who don't use their indicators on roundabouts

People who don't use the right hand side of an escalator or stairs, especially for just standing still.

Should it not be left hand side in Ireland, UK, Japan, New Zealand and Australia?

Second question what's the problem with someone standing on a stairs? It's odd sure but I wouldn't think it's a common source of annoyance.

I meant just standing on an escalator blocking the left, the side you're supposed to use for walking.
Right hand side, standing. Left hand side, walking.

and on stairs, Its when its a busy area, and you're walking up the right hand side and people are walking down the left. Its a nice even smooth flow, and then some fat gob****e walks down the left expecting you to move and blocking everything up.

People who go on about how beautiful their babies are and then get offended when I point out of their ears/eyes/nose are not in proportion and it vomits a lot.

Is that not in the US? You pass out on the left and in Ireland you pass out on the right? I think it follows the same convention as road use.

No that photo is from London, its in all tube stations. Been there and saw it myself. Its the same in USA too, or at least in New York from what I remember.

Perhaps I am wrong and it is different here in Ireland. But from what I have observed people just go up all over the place regardless of other people.

Trafford Lad · 22-09-2011 05:29PM

When you get a seat on a packed train and the people standing glare at you like you are the son of Hitler and Rosemary West, then when they open the window thinking they are somehow getting one over on you (especially in Winter), then stand there all smug. Pregnant women and old people I'm thinking of in particular.

Davidson2k9 · 22-09-2011 05:34PM

People who flash other drivers to warn them of guards doing speed ahead, then look down on drivers who cause deaths etc. from speeding.

Dont flash them (except me) let the ****ers get caught

People who drive at 50km/hr on roads that are 100km/hr, so frustrating!

Well actully, not that it's any of your business but we're getting married in a few months. I just don't like using the word fiance. What would you suggest I call him?

Again, a bit judgemental, don't you think? You don't know people's situations.

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.

Saying the banks were 'throwing money at any breathing human being ' is classic popular revisionism.While the banks certainly are not blameless many folks misrepresented their incomes and took out loans to beat the band and also deep down had a fair idea that paying back the money might become a problem down the line, but hey, we can always blame Fianna fail !

Bertie, is that you?

Irish Guitarist · 23-09-2011 07:36AM

Here's a few off the top of my head (I think I replied to a thread like before and said different things).

When a child in a supermarket keeps saying "mammy, mammy, mammy, mammy" and the mother stands there talking to their friend and ignoring the child. The mother may be immune to the constant shrieks of their child but I'm certainly not.

Cigarette butts everywhere I go. There's no escaping them. Even in the most beautiful, picturesque part of where I live scumbags drop their cigarette butts all over the place.

Disgusting slobs that hawk up phlegm and deposit it on the ground. I especially hate it when they're walking behind me repeatedly going "HAWKKK" and I have to keep checking my leg to see if they've hit me.

The sound a motorbike or car with a loud engine makes as it gets further away.

What situations? Getting married is relatively cheap,if people want to go mad on a big 'lets impress everyone ' bash thats a different story.
Unlees by 'peoples situations' you mean they can no longer falsely claim for lone parent allowances etc well thats another matter.

simonmln · 23-09-2011 09:06AM

Arguing with someone, who is wrong. They stil argue their point with no evidence other than something like, ''my friend told me''. Even though you offer valid points. This is fair enough, as I dont mind an argument, but then when you've proven your point beyond any doubt and they say, ''whatever, I dont really care anyway!'', or something similar. You obviously care as you've spent 10 minutes arguing with me. When I'm proven wrong I admit it, but dont turn sour. Its really annoying!

The 123.ie guy. Hate him!

I was referring to the fact that the poster said that he hated when men didn't have the balls to marry their woman. As if all women are sitting around waiting for their men to sweep them off their feet and propose and it's all down to him. Perhaps the woman doesn't want to get married, for whatever reason, perhaps she's already been married and is waiting for a divorce, or he is. Everyone is in different situations. You can't look at all relationships and say "they're not married, the man obviously doesn't have the balls to do it". That's pretty sexist and offensive. As I said in my first post I hate judgemental people. What gives anyone the right to judge how two people live their lives?

I'm presuming as well that the poster thinks I'm male and therefore don't have the balls to marry my "partner" and it was a dig at me, however, not all posters on Boards are male you know.

The biggest crime was the day National Irish decided to give 100% mortgages to couples for the first time and Bertie, Neary, McCreevy nor Hurley did anything to stop it. That was the start of the out of control property bubble. Shameful

Your Argument makes no sense first of all You go to the bank looking for money if you accept a loan that you can't pay back thats your own fault and no one elses. Thats like you coming up to me asking for 10 euro me giving it to you and when i come back looking for it next month calling me Scabby!! poor innocent you its obviously all the banks fault you could'nt pay them back!! my heart bleeds for you

Cyclists. They seem to struggle when trying to tell the difference between a footpath and a road.

People that queue up for flights ages before they are due to board, all seats on the plane are the same bar the twelve exit seats.

People who stand up in the aisle as soon as the fasten seatbelts sign goes off.

Only a complete fraud would borrow money with the intention of not paying it back. Most people had no trouble keeping up repayments until the system crashed, and the system crash was brought on by the banks.

People who add chant lyrics like Sein Fein and IRA to the feilds or athenry.

Waitresses. :mad:

Particularly when they come to your table and say..."Now!" and they have some inane look on their face.

They are usually the same waitresses who, on placing your meal on the table then say "Enjoy !" ...:mad::mad::mad:.

They should all be shot.

FFS! Shooting someone for saying enjoy' is a bit extreme don't you think? Now if it was for 'did you get any petrol or diesel' then shooting would be too good for them.
