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?

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.

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!

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.

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!

Voice of experience here that belies my age(:D). Never ever ever ever , during a..... heated debate, refer to it as "Just another day" and then proceed to question the meaning of the other 364 days. Ever.

It doesnt end well.

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.

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.

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.

I saw a "Malt-Easter" display in my local garage on January 2nd. I nearly threw up with rage.

I've seen advertisements for Easter Eggs on Christmas Day a couple of times. JC's in Swords.... :rolleyes:

Its a scientific fact that if you do not drink or smoke, you do NOT live longer, it just feels fuucking longer:D

And they never seal up properly again, the next time you take the food out of the fridge there a little dark bit or mouldy bit in the corner where it's been exposed to the air.:(

What does my head in is architect Dermot Bannon on RTE's "Room to Improve" - badgering people to transform their potentially nice homes into characterless "contemporary" lumps of glass & steel, resembling an office block in an industrial estate. A lot of the time you can see its not what they want when shown the plans, but he comes across as a smug sh*te - "I'm the architect, I know whats best for you"

Noisey people. Took me 45 minutes to get my child to sleep and there's a dickhead downstairs slamming presses and blaring the radio.

Don't tell me about a film I haven't seen yet. Go away.

People who accuse you of being a fibber just because your life experiences are different to theirs.

Some of the people are more annoying, engaging the opinion of a professional and then completely ignoring their advice anyway. Anyone remember the bint who wanted a slide in her house? A fuucking slide?

OldNotWIse · 14-01-2014 02:16PM

People who manage to wrangle lots of information out of you without telling you anything about themselves.

The way that tv programming seems to be reverting to the 1950's. Jesus, the prime time viewing is getting shockingly bad, not that it's been good for a long time. All there seems to be is family viewing stuff, back to back. I couldn't bear to watch strictly come dancing or any of the game shows etc. Christ, they've even remade some of the family game show crap that was on in the 80's and people seem to be lapping it up.

Likewise cookery programmes. Who the fcuk wants to watch mulitiple cookery programmes in the evening. So basically it's gameshows, property programmes and cookery shows, interspersed with D list celebrities trying to revive their careers through dancing or ice skating or eating insects in a jungle:mad:

People giving out in the comments section on YouTube videos for Game of Thrones complaining about reading spoilers. If someone in real life knows you haven't read the books and still tells you spoilers, then they are a douchebag. If you don't want to know what happens but go to a place where people are talking about the show and then you complain, you are the douchebag.

This can be extended to any tv show. If you miss an episode of a show when it's aired and you don't want it spoiled for you, stay away from the internet (and the media in general if it's a high profile show). The rest of the world doesn't have to wait to talk about it until you've seen it. Plus I'll bet that as soon as you've seen it, you'll want to talk about it asap.....hypocrite!

In fairness, if I had the money I would totally have a house with a stair slide.
