People who speak too loudly, AND mumblers.

People who ask you a question, and when you are half way thru the reply, they ask another question and/or answer their own original question, and then they take umbrage when you tell them you can only answer one question at a time.

People who don't wait their f*cking turn to speak. I have just listened to all you have said without interrupting, please allow me the same courtesy. Motherf*cker :pac:

We've a guy in work like that - doesn't matter what you're doing, who you're talking to, if you're on the phone or whatever he just rocks up and starts splurting, not even a hello usually - it's bizzarre, almost autistic in fact, he seems to just completely lack the comprehension that there are unspoken rules to human interaction!

Kittensoft Ad.

Emma....emma.....emma...emma?....emma!

For those who don't watch licenced television. It's an ad for Kittensoft toilet tissue featuring a stereotypical office type and his ipad. He goes around the house tormenting his poor missus about his stupid ipad as only an apple fanboy could. He is irritating. The ad however is delicious in its finale as it shows him taking a poo after a curry as all office types indulge in. Out of toilet paper he summons his now demented wife to pass bog roll but instead she slips the ipad with a pic of sh*tting tickets on it under the door.

Wipe your hole with an ipad. Very good Kittensoft, thank you.

That ad kind of sums up things in our house. My husband and I both read a lot and he's always trying to persuade me to get an E reader, he has a Kindle and a Kindle Fire, but I prefer real books, I'm a purist/dinosaur:D

The new campaign to "tackle childhood obesity" - mere propoganda to pave the way for a fat and sugar tax. It wont make a blinder of a difference to the knobs who feed sh1te to their offspring...all it does is annoy those of us who dont have kids. More drivel in the postbox last night - shall I reply with postet saying, "four legs and 100g Royal Canin per day - ok????!"

The new typeface in the Irish Times. It's rather jarring.

It is possible for humans to live on this and thrive, the downside is after approx six weeks, they start to lick their own genitals, not a pretty sight in Dunnes on a Sat afternoon.................

Could childhood obesity not be tackled by getting the kids off their arses and away from the Playstation? A bit of excersise would do them the world of good. I remember Christmas days when the local kids would be out on their new bikes, scooters, now you rarely see any of them outdoors.

Correct-and-right. When I was a kid I, like most other kids, binged on ice-pops, lemonade, chocolate and (horror-of-horrors) sugar sandwiches! Imagine that one on Joe Duffy now. I didn't die once, nor get fat, nor did any of the other younglads, because in between eating sh!te we were running around like lunatics and falling out of trees.

One that crops up on Gigs and Events forum often, having posted it myself. Yapping idiots at gigs, some folk were going on about the recent Billy Joel gig, the same with Bat for Lashes at Electric Picnic 2012, could not hear Natasha at times because of the conversationalists :mad:

Was at the Ennio Morricone concert in Kilmainham in Aug, was driven nuts by nattering assholes arriving late, then its "oh look Breda is over here yap yap" and then up and down to buy overpriced Pinot More, in a plastic cup, I mean at +100 euro for a ticket, fond as I am of a snifter of port, I can do without one for a couple of hours......

Extremely stupid people on quiz shows. If the question is tough then I can understand but question now on Tipping Point is Hanoi is the capital of what country and she answers Japan. FFS are these people vetted before going on? I'd have thought a 10 year-old would get that!

OldNotWIse · 08-11-2013 04:46PM

The way shops make you sign for a refund or exchange - even when its their own bloody fault, like an item being mis-labelled or you being overcharged. What do they do with the signatures? Keep a file on everyone and then one day just accuse you of scamming cause you've claimed too many refunds? Also, I grew up in the age of data protection - things like this make me roar!

eisenberg1 · 08-11-2013 05:20PM

Got one of my posts removed from a thread last week, trivial and annoying. I just tried to inject a little humour in to it.....some people.

I annoy me

The other week i was raking up the leaves and i left the thing by a bin i have outside the back kitchen for papers to burn, just as it's getting dark at 5.30ish i decide to go out and put a few glass jars in me tub for recycling and i had some paper for the bin. Dashing back to put paper in i step fast and hard on the rake facing outwards :eek: ohh jesus i had an awful belt of it and after a very sore bruised forehead. A few days later i had a black eye from the blow. Lesson learnt NEVER leave a rake facing outwards. I could have passed out, It sounds like a good clip for candid camera or benny hill :rolleyes:

You're under no obligation as far as I know to sign their stupid sh*t.

People who have conversations on the phone for the benefit of the other people around then to hear.

A woman in the hospital, on the phone here, presumably to her friend, telling her friend "I travelled from xx to yy and that was 150 miles round trip" ect. She continued on this for about 10 mins.

Then she turned around to me and started telling me the exact same story. Then she asked me if there was a late night chemist in town, I was trying to explain where there was, she kept interrupting me telling me she had 5 people to text, then a call came thru and she had to answer it, before explaining to me why she had to get it lol.

Then afterwards she was trying to ask about the chemist again and I pretended I didn't hear her. Donkey

Always wondered about this behaviour too. It happened to me twice in the past year when I had to return items to two separate shops. Out comes the docket book with the sheet of carbon paper, for fook sake who still uses that, your man for Open All Hours???? Signature, date, address, reason for returning goods. What is done with this information?

With all the amazing processing power available on something like a phone why is it that ATMs can't have checked which notes they have available before asking how much I want?

Saw one a while ago where some woman thought the rings on the Olympic flag represented the Commonwealth.

You annoy me. If you put my rake away like that, I'd ram it up your hole. Not to mention the health and safety implications. What do you use to set fire to your papers in the bin? Napalm?
I also hate predictive text.

+1, AND why do they offer a receipt, if the stupid printer has run out of paper, so can't print the thing, so it later in the transaction says, sorry, we can't perform your request. That's always assuming that the printer has got a print ribbon with some ink left, which can't be relied on.

Then there's the new LATM lodgement machines that don't have the ability to allocate a unique reference number to the transaction like the old paper lodgements had, so at the end of the month, there's a whole page of identical reference lodgements with LATM 909999 4556 as the description. Really good for an audit control or checking procedure. NOT!

Probably programmed by the same g**sh**e that thinks that grey text on a black background on a web site is "cool". Yeah, and unreadable!

It really is amazing how poor the programming for banks is, and it ain't just the front-end stuff either. A friend started working for a company that does back-end stuff a few years back and he couldn't believe what he was working on. It's all so outdated and patched-up that improvements are incredibly difficult. The security is laughable as well, in the space of half an hour he showed me (who can barely get past HTML) half a dozen vulnerabilities that once someone knows about them are insanely easy to access. And that's just in back-end payment processing, never mind the bits between that and the front-end.

Stupid banks :P
