    Those people that ALWAYS talk overly loud and look around to see if anyone is listening to their riveting conversation about how drunk they got last night or what you got up to :mad:

    I could strangle people like that:mad:

    -People who can't stand the noise of children crying. I just moved back home from America with my wife and two kids, people over there generally didn't give a **** about children crying or screaming. Over here? You get every head turning around having a good old look and stares at you, as if you're abusing your child or something. "Ahhh, what's wrong with the baba, I bet it's hungry..." No, we just fed our "baba" before we left the house, the "baba" actually has a serious case of being a fcuking "baba", and "babas" sometime cry for no reason. It's a child crying, not nails on a chalkboard.

    -People who say "baba" instead of "baby".

    Posters who pointlessly quote long posts from earlier in thread. It is quite annoying having to scroll through the same text again to get to the new post itself (especially annoying on smart phones) :mad:

    I hate it when people think that a problem has to be non "first-world" to be genuinely bothersome.

    People who don't stand to one side when going up an escalator. Irish people are the worst for this I find as well!!

    But whats even worse are the people who get to the top of the escalator and then stop to look around where they're going, after they have taken just one step off it while people are coming up behind them.... UGH move out of the way and figure it out!!!!

    *Deep Breath*

    1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time....I know where my watch is pal, where the **** is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

    2. People who are willing to get off their arse to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

    3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". f**king right! What good is a cake if you can't eat it?

    4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the **** would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?


    5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No tosser, I paid 10 quid to come to the cinema and stare at the f**king floor.

    6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?". Didn't really give me a choice there, did you sunshine?

    7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it.

    8. When people say "life is short". What the ****?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

    9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks, "Has the bus come yet?â€. If the bus came would I be standing here, Knobhead?

    10. People who say things like 'My eyes aren't what they used to be'. So what did they used to be? Ears, Wellington boots?

    11. When you're eating something and someone asks 'Is that nice?' No it's really revolting - I always eat stuff I hate.

    12. People who announce they are going to the toilet. Thanks that's an image I really didn't need.

    13. McDonalds staff who pretend they don't understand you unless you insert the 'Mc' before the item you are ordering..... It's has to be a McChicken Burger, just a Chicken Burger gets blank looks. Well I'll have a McStraw and jam it in your McEyes you f**king McTosser.

    14. When your involved in an accident and someone asks 'are you alright?' Yes fine thanks, I'll just pick up my limbs and be off

    *Exhales*

    Oh and old stupid biddys who stop and have a conversation right at the door of a super market. They then give dirty scowls at people who try to get passed them.

    When you lose the string bit on your pants so you can't tighten them a bit because it only ends up coming out of one hole instead of both.

    I've yet to find a solution to this problem :(

    Women drivers who drive big mpv's or X5 bmws. Learn to drive one first love before you put it on the road. Trying to get it into a space is hillarious. Its a 3 point turn dear, not a 34587439 point turn!

    They usually have sunglasses on their tanned wrinkley heads to keep their blonde locks off their faces.

    And oh, btw... your a 45 year old not a 25 year old. Stop acting like one.

    Snobby cnuts.

    Drives me fukin mental. I wish I could get a baseball bat and blow in every window in the gowls of jeeps and get them to sit on a manky bus for the journey home with their perfect sons, Harry and Arthur.

    Pull the whole string out. Attach a safety pin to one end of the string and feed it back in through the hole of the pants. When the safety pin comes out the other hole, remove it. Ta da!

    It will take a bit of time but it should work.

    Make sure the safety pin will fit in and out of the hole before you start

    Tie a knot near the end of the string so it wont fit through the hole

    Common people drive me insane.

    I took my wife to the Paddy's Day parade
    this year and they were fkucking everywhere.

    I actually had a panic attack and had to
    escape to the nearest side street to watch
    the rest of the parade.

    If I go to town, they're everywhere too. Sidewalks,
    banks, bars, in cars.....there's no exscape.

    I'm God's only man.

    :(

    Sometimes, for kicks, I'll just stop walking and
    they have to give way. Some people look shocked
    that they've had to walk around me, others actually
    apologise and give way.

    I have this theory that attractive women are the worst,
    as maybe they're used to people jumping out of their way...

    ...so I target them in particular.

    :D

    People not pricing goods up in shops and when you ask for the price they look down their noses at you.
    Old people driving all over the roads at 10mph whilst using their Dorio phones.
    Centra Advert thats been running for over a year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,324 ✭✭✭JustAThought


    People, often scobies, who shove their buggies in front of your 40mph moving car to " give" them a chance to cross the road when their light is RED & mine Is green.
    Pushing a wheelchair around for the rest of your life & having to explain it to your child will be a LOT more inconvenient than the two minute wait.

    People who slag off Ryanair. Remember when an Apex flight , if you were lucky enough to get one,rather than the standard £600 fare, was 260 old PUNTS if you needed to come home from emigration in London for a wedding/funeral etc. Rock on e1 flights & charges & taxes ; ) Europe awaits!!!

    People who put heaps of effort into dressing and fashioning themselves into the style of someone who has put very little effort into dressing and fashioning themselves.

    People who spoil their kids and turn them into little obnoxious ****s.

    People who have seriously low self esteem and are mean to others because of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,833 ✭✭✭✭Ted_YNWA


    Reading this thread is proof indeed that some people are only alive because it is illegal to shoot them..

    The subject matter, not the posters ..... obviously :D

    Because it will encourage people to cop on and not take risky maneuvers and the like around a car that has a baby in it? I think they are close to sensible considering how poor some people are driving around. People speeding and taking over in dodgy spots and getting aggressive when others slow down in order to take care if there is bad weather like heavy rain..
    They are harmless signs and new borns are fragile and obviously fairly precious to new parents. It doesn't take a genius. Or half a genius. Or someone with half the amount of cop on necessary to function as a proper human being to understand.

    What? Of course people can't stand the sound of babies crying, it's one of the mot ear-splitting and irritating sounds ever. Do you honestly expect people on a bus or in a restaurant to be perfectly content with some child bawling at the top of their lungs? I'll tell you what p*sses me off, people who take a superior attitude and think the rest of the world has to tolerate loud disturbances just because they belched some squalling brat out of their flaps.

    Attempting to talk whilst eating.
