    People who leave flowers at the spots where someone had died and they never even knew the person when that person was alive in the first place.

    Garden of Rememberance?

    No five items or less checkouts. Whatever happened to them?

    Revolving doors that stick and you have to push like fookin superman to try and get it round the full way so you can get into or out of a building... while looking like a complete tit.

    Doors with the words PUSH or PULL printed on an A4 size piece of paper, stuck on them. Sandra in the office had nothing better to do all day so she decided to occupy herself by printing dozens of these sings.

    Over helpful staff in restaurants. Every 5 feckin minutes, are you ok, is the meal to your liking, would you like to order dessert???? Go away and let us eat our meal and get drunk in peace for fook sake.

    A restaurant manager or bar manager who will talk the feckin arse off a donkey if he or she knows the person you are with. Can these people not take a hint, nice knowing you, now scram to see if I can score with this hot doll tonight.;)

    Roundabouts. Too many of them.

    Traffic lights. Too many of them.

    No left turn or no right turn signs. You have to head out the road for 10 miles before you can turn your car around and drive back in again. You have got to be fookin kidding me.:mad:

    Not being able to find charged batteries for your tv remote control.... or worse not being able to find the remote anywhere. What happens to tv remotes does a black hole open in your living room and they get swallowed up by it?

    A hugely famous celebrity's death is one thing. A random non-famous person is another.

    For clarity, I originally meant random non-famous people's deaths.
    I probably should have mentioned that.

    Haven't had my cuppa yet.

    All is forgiven:D

    People who say "Beep Beep", instead of "Excuse Me" like a normal human being.
    Suitcases with wheels on them, If it's too heavy to carry put it in two bags. The noise of them things, and most of the time it's a small enough looking bag.


    Does anyone do this to people who are older than 3 years? :( I'd laugh in someone's face if they said that to me, or maybe retort with a random farm animal sound or something and say, "oh sorry, I thought we were doing Osborne sound effects?" :D

    I hate those bloody bangers. I'm glad I don't live in a town where they're going off all the time (I'm very sensitive to loud, sudden noises and liable to jump out of my skin).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,468 ✭✭✭✭OldNotWIse


    If they knew the person then fine, I'm okay with that but if they didn't know the person and just heard what happened via the news or Facebook then bug off already.

    Flowers in general on graves annoy me. I just dont see the point. "Here are all the flowers I was too mean to send you when you were alive, even though flowers.ie kept sending me emails with discounts" :eek:

    Or, there's a dead body under here, I know, lets put some dead flowers on top to rot along with it.
    Shuffles nervously....:(

    Somewhat related, people who type RIP on FB. One question - why?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,387 ✭✭✭eisenberg1


    RIP.....................where exactly?

    To remember loved ones, I guess.

    People who lean on shopping trolley's and let the shopping trolley take them around the store. Have you ever seen people doing that, get out of da Fookin way you dozy basket case, I came in here to shop, get out and get home, not take part in a remake of Night of The Living Dead.

    Sir, can I interest you in an interest free credit card? No you can't now fook off.

    Sir, can I interest you in our two for one deal. Oh what's that, I give you one kick up the arse but it feels like two? My foot is a pen and your ass wants my signature, where do I sign?

    The Tesco ad. Every little helps. Marty Whelan fook off and stop annoying me.... robbing basket cases.

    The Biiiiigggggg Saaaaaaaallllllleeeee. Would someone please put Harvey Knobend on a coffin ship and send him back to Oz.... another annoying basket case.

    The male sidekicks every fookin jock on the radio has now.

    The giggly forty something female sidekicks every fookin jock on the radio has now.

    Boob tubes.... yeah get real would you love.

    But you dont need to type RIP on facebook to remember your loved ones, a platform where you know everyone will see. In any event, most of the facebook RIP-ers are typing about someone they barely know.

    The Skin Care saps on the first floor in the Jervis. Every Time!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 480 ✭✭saltyjack silverblade


    When people discuss their bowel habits. Guy in the office frequently will walk off saying he is going to drop the kids in the pool. Makes me throw up in my mouth a little each time he says it.

    Halloween, I hate it, just an excuse for women to dress up in high heels, short skirts, nurses outfits, French maids outfits, tarts etc.

    Actually, come to think of it, I LOVE Halloween

    I'd like to complain about the amount of women who dress up like this every year Joe, it's scandalous, it shouldn't be allowed.

    Parents dressing there kids up as policemen or firemen or pirates etc....what has that got to do with been scary at Halloween?? Make them look like chucky or even a devil or something!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,477 ✭✭✭Oops69


    Parents depriving they're kids of Halloween junk treats like haribo ,mini bars etc , because "he goes totally hyper on all the sugar" , no he doesn't , let him get sick , it's part of being a child, the same ones will confiscate the bag of goodies themselves and stuff they're traps after the kids gone to bed and have a resentful obese rebel on they're hands when they hit 13

    Not trivial or annoying, but thought this might raise a snigger. A few years ago, a bit of office banter kinda got out of hand, and one guy who had a habit of getting a little tongue tied when excited, completely loses the plot, flings **** all over the place, and screams this classic (which we never let him forget)at the most verbal of his opponents.

    "I HOPE YOUR MOTHER COOKS SOCKS IN HELL"

    Everytime I see "The Exorcist" now, I crack up laughing

    Thats actually a lyric in a song by Doctor And The Crippens from the album Fired From The Circus.

    Hate hate hate not being able to sleep because you've too much to think about, but then you're lying awake, next thing you know, it's 3am, there's nobody awake to talk to or distract you, and you're left alone with your own thoughts, that you've spent the entire day/week trying to avoid, and they just won't stop.
