    My washing machines takes 8 kilos of laundry.

    My tumble dryer only dries 4 kilos of laundry.

    You don't butter your own bread? Fire those servants, they're clearly not up to the task! :p

    Dear old man who's change I picked up off the wet ground - when someone gets bumped around and has their fingers stood on while doing you a favour, the least you can do is say thanks.

    Or when you start work in a new company and you are taken on the grand tour, introduced to everyone, and by lunchtime you've forgotten half their names. Can be awkward in the staff canteen or meeting them in the corridor.

    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.

    Fookin queue jumpers, should be made to lick the loose gravel off the road in the rain. Then made to sit in stocks while everyone throws rotten eggs at them. Or simply a good foot in the ass.

    People using the word fab on facebook :mad: always desperate 30 & 40 something housewives. Everytime I see it, I visualise myself creeping up behind them as they type F, I raise my hand to the back of their head as they type A and then the second they press B I mush their f*cking faces into the keyboard! :mad:

    People having faux cheerful discussions in the supermarket at Christmas time.

    I wanted to buy some cream today in Tesco and there were these two women cheerfully discussing the pros of buying Tesco branded cream against Avonmore. They stood in front of the display of cream, yappering away pretending to be cheerful.

    People who stroll slowly in front of you when you're pushing a trolley.
    I feel like bashing them all in the ankles; if you want to stroll, take a hike to the Phoenix Park.

    Bagpackers-I don't want you packing my bags, I don't want to donate to your charity, leave me alone.

    Cold callers who call to the door when you're either cooking or eating.
    Nothing you're selling is of any interest to me so go away.

    Women drivers...I AM a woman but I class myself as a pretty good driver.
    The majority of other women are ****e at driving; you never indicate, you never let people out, you brake for no reason, you're just generally no good.

    I've been waiting on a supplier to send us an order so we can fulfill an order we have to send.
    It arrived 3 weeks late today and missing a couple of items. I've already faced the wrath of our client because of the delay and now to top it off I won't be sending the full order because of these tools.

    I've threatened to wash my hands of them before but that's the last fcuking straw.

    Strange Boards users sending me weird PM's. Got a pm from someone with only 5 posts asking if they could ask me a question, not even someone who uses the same forums as I do. They then proceed to ask if it's ok to have more than 1 account. Then they sent me another pm the following day telling me that they've had previous accounts. I mean what the actual feck:confused:

    Report the PM's. They are a known troll and that's their way of trolling.

    You can report oddball unsolicited PMs Pumpkinseeds.

    On a side-note, I hate when people do that - "Can I ask you a question?"

    You just did! And then if you say "No", they get shirty!

    My brother, the 33 year old super-dependant man-child and his complete unwillingness to learn new skills. I'm home for Christmas so the laptop came with me. He's very excited about being able to go online and search for songs etc, and I dont mind him using it but I would like if he at least paid attention to me while I show him how to search for something. He gets this glazed look across his face as soon as I begin explaining it to him and I know the lights are on but the person has left home. Cue him pretty much following me around the house asking me to search for a song for him fifty fuucking times a day. I thought I would kill him yesterday. I was rushing around doing last minute shopping, eye tests, dog walking, cat cleaning blah blah and I swear every time he saw me he'd say "will you just do a search for me?" -raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar! And to make it even worse, he's a real mammy's boy. As far as she's concerned, he can do no wrong so when I told her how annoying the whole thing is and how easy it is to just search for a song yourself do you what her response was?

























    ...if its that easy why cant you just do it for him? :eek::eek::mad::mad:

    A much more irritating thing is "Can I ask a favour of you"
    "What is it?"
    "Im not telling you until you say yes or no"

    The Irish approach to asking a favour, noted with amusement by non-Irish.

    "You wouldn't do x for me, would you?" :confused:

    I tried explaining this to my OH and she thinks we're a bit mad.

    Also on that, the other day we passed by two teens who were conversing in the usual "I was like, and he was like and then I goes" fashion and I made some throwaway comment about how annoying it is. Trying to explain to her, "well you see, these morons say "was like" when they actually mean "said" but it doesnt mean they like what they said, and sometimes instead of "said" they say (they're like) "I goes" but no it doesnt mean they went anywhere, just that they were like, you know saying something and then she goes wtf are you talking about?? And I was like, you know...um....ya. Totes. :pac:
