Hope it's okay to start the new thread (not sure if mods have to do it).

I posted this right at the end of the last thread so just carrying it over as it has me driven demented.

I have a question on this subject.

When you get a letter for a hospital appointment six months after you needed to see a consultant/dietician/physiotherapist..... the list just goes on and on.

It doesnt end well.

If you're not doing anything special on those other 364 days of course it's going to go badly. If you do liven things up every once and in a while you'll probably be appreciated even if you spend Valentine's Day beating your high score in Puzzle Bobble.

Having to sit upstairs on the bus.

Or when the bus driver decides to be nice, and waits for that one last person who then proceeds to spend about 10 minutes rooting around for change before the bus can leave.

Quite annoying when you can't thank a post more than once, as I would in this case!

The whole Valentine's Day think has been completely taken over by commercialisation. I used enjoy it and you'd send a few people cards and flowers and it'd be a nice surprise for them and stuff, but now it's a case of -

"What are you doing for your wife this year?"

"Ehh, not a whole lot, why?"

"You mean you're not doing anything for Valentine's Day? OMG you tight bastard, hate to be your wife!"

"Ehh, riiiight."

As if the other 364 days of the year don't count or something? Turns me off the whole idea that you're now SUPPOSED to do stuff, as opposed to doing stuff because you like to show your appreciation for someone!

Restaurants that serve up a ploughman's lunch and you only ordered a BLT with a side order of crisps. I look around me thinking, where are the other six people who are going to help me eat all of this?

+1 to this. I'm of the view that the more expensive the dish is, the more of it should be on the plate. Who wants to pay the bones of €20 for a dish that is barely two bites? Gourmet cooking is rife with this kind of tomfoolery.

When the crotch of your tights is on a permanent mission towards your knees all day. Uncomfortable as hell, plus I'm wearing a fairly short skirt so I keep getting paranoid that it'll actually fall down past the hem!

I'm far more annoyed when I look at the plate and think 'is that it'? Just because you place it nicely on the plate doesn't mean you can scrimp on the serving size.

It's either feast or famine. Same thing with hotel bedrooms, it's either too cold or feels like you're on the surface of the feckin sun. And that's after you've opened every window and the door to the mini fridge.

Self-righteous skinny people. Yes, I'm fat. I'm trying to change that fact but you don't have to be so uppity about it! :mad:

Ohh self-righteous people generally. It will get to a point though where it's just noise to you and you tend not to notice any more. I smoke, and I drink, and the only time I saw the inside of a gym was when a mate brought me in on a visitor pass or something - I got kicked off the treadmill for wearing new rocks and jeans (I outright refuse to wear tracksuits and runners, I just don't like them!), then I flopped out of the sauna like a dead seal after 30 seconds because I couldn't breathe in there!

And yet people still insist on making me aware of the fact that I shouldn't smoke and I shouldn't drink and I should get more exercise because I'll live longer... I actually never knew that! What would anyone do without self-righteous people who make it their mission in life to state the fcuking obvious?

Another one, and the bane of my existence - the high pitched BEEP every 30 seconds from smoke alarms with dying batteries.

I live in an apartment block, and I can hear two of the ****ers....BEEP.........BEEP, one after the other. Both from next door. Argh.

It's far more romantic to get a gift from your partner/spouse when you aren't expecting it. When my husband brings me home flowers or sends me a bouquet it means an awful lot more to me than if he sent me flowers on Valentines day. It's the little things you get for each other that show you care. Not great big expensive gestures, just the small things, like buying him a few beers or a bottle of wine so he can unwind with a drink when I know he's having a really crap day at work. Or him bringing home something he's seen that he knows I'd like.

It's the thought more than the cost.

Always annoys me the way shops put all the filling for their sandwiches in the middle so it looks like there's loads in it when its sliced, but theres not and its all in the middle.

Valentines day. I just saw an ad for it. Absloutely hate it. We stopped buying Valentines day stuff about 2 years after we got together as we both find it a rip off. I'm amazed the usual red tat isn't everywhere already, they're late this year, no creme eggs in the supermarket yet either

Creme eggs are everywhere, tesco have full blown easter displays up already

Pizza Hut, getting a takeaway one night and the the waitress hands me my change on a plate, fúck off and cram your tip seeking plate up yer hoop.

Tell me you said that to her

Was in a restaurant a while back and the owner picked the tip-seeking plate with payment up from the table from the people behind me. Owner then said 'do you want your change'? Guy was too embarrassed to say yes.

I wasn't. Bloody cheek of him to actually embarrass people into tipping him.

Know-it-alls. Urgh.

I was recently talking about the World Cup and a country I was going to support that is in it.

Work colleague pipes up 'no chance'.

I said well, I don't expect them to win the whole thing, just do as good as they did at the last World Cup.

Irish Colleague: Nope, no chance.

Me: Well, at least they are in it.

Irish colleague: :mad:

Why do people have to say things they know people don't want/need to hear?

Messy dumps full stop are fceking enraging!

You know the rare sh1t that slides out like it's Teflon coated? Doesn't even touch the sides, just drops out and sometimes there's not even any need to use bog roll!!

Why can't it be like that every time I take a dump???

WHYYYYYY?

How about when someone boils enough water for a dozen cups of tea when they're only making ONE for themselves?

You take a crap in the middle of Pizza Hut and don't leave a tip?

The inside of my windscreen just refuses to stay clean, it is incredibly annoying when the sun shines on it.
