    The footpath on O'Connell Street in Dublin. How they managed to ensure that any slight rainfall results in 2-3mm of water lying at all times is beyond me. Of course there's also the gullies that run along the middle of the street for no reason, always lovely to avoid someone and walking through it.

    Having a few bulmers, the first three go uneventfully, the fourth one promptly showers me in froth upon its opening.. Is there a man in Clonmel with a vendetta against society just shaking the bejesus out of the odd bottle or something!?

    Sending Christmas cards and not getting any back.

    Don't get me wrong, I know some people don't send them; that's fine, but if I go to the effort of sending you a card, at least send me one back, ffs.
    I'm writing a list of people who have sent me cards this year and next year ONLY those people are getting cards from me!

    And, yes I realise this is a silly petty thing to get annoyed over, but it does!
    I walked around all the neighbours' houses last week, in the pi**ings of rain to deliver the cards through the letterboxes and I only got two back!

    STOP BEING STINGEY!

    That Yaya/Kolo Toure chant. SO sick of hearing it every night out now for the past year, usually by drunk freshers who can't handle their drink

    This morning, driving along and I see a cyclist approaching from opposite direction, lights on and a hi vis , you could see him from approx. half a KM away, to be commended. However, when I got a bit closer, I notice, cars coming from behind him, having to indicate and drive round him, why? because he is cycling SIX INCHES TO THE RIGHT OF THE RED CYCLING LANE.............WHY???

    Queue jumping. 2 young Asian girls, aged early to mid 20's, jumped the queue ahead of 2 long lines of shoppers, myself included,today. As I've mentioned in an earlier post I'm all out of goodwill to all men/women, in fact the only Christmas spirit I'm finding this year is at the bottom of a large gin and tonic.

    Anyway, I'd had enough of it, the giggling before they did it pushed me over the edge, so I left the trolley, walked up to them, tapped one on the shoulder and said 'Just so you know, there's a very long queue and you should be at the back of it' It's the little things that make you feel happy.

    Good for you. The thing that annoys me more than people jumping the queue, is people saying nothing to them so they get away with it.

    Crowds in a certain well known toy store. You'd swear they were preparing for some sort of toy armageddon with all the pushing and shoving and generally shìtty behaviour.

    Would it be too much for AIB if they're charging me €28 in fees per quarter, to send out a bloody text message to all customers to let them know that there is an issue with their systems at the moment and they're working on fixing it as soon as possible! They have most customers mobile numbers on file, and not all of us are on Shìtter (Twitter).

    I didn't know what was going on when my wife called me to say that the ATM wouldn't give out money. I shouldn't have had to call AIB 24hr to find out what the story was, they should be making contact directly with their customers as soon as possible rather than have their customers find out when they go to withdraw funds that they can't.

    People at the self service checkouts who answer their phone and continue to stand and have a whole conversation wit their things scanned. not bothering to finish or move away from the til.

    people at the self service who don't even bother to try to scan the items. they just hand everything to the attendant for them to do. monopolising them while everyone else has a problem.

    people at the self service who just stop still when they are scanning alcohol rather than continuing wit the bill.

    people at the self service who scan something to check the price and then walk off to continue to do their shopping.

    people at the self service full stop
