Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

Coming out of B&Q on Sat last, struggling with what felt like 15 tins of paint, there is a woman a few feet ahead, blonde, short(ish) skirt, heels, good legs and a very cute bum. a bloke alongside me, gives me that man to man knowing look and says " here, have a look at that, nice yeah?" , " yes, I agree" and head for my car, while he continues to admire the view.............you should have seen his face when she opens the boot and I place my tins of paint in it.

In the spirit of current hysteria, people who keep telling me Gareth Brooks is playing in Croke Park. It's Garth FFS. I also don't care, but that's beside the point!

No, Croke Park is a good bit away from The Point, and its called The O2 these days:)

People who judge you based on how you want your food cooked. I had a friend who always liked her steak well done and then a mutual friend who eats his practically just with the horns cut off and the ars* wiped "converted" her, as if eating pink steak is some kind of sacred religion. Now whenever we are out there's an entire production about how she didnt know how to eat steak before and now that she has been shown the way she'd never go back. The fuuck? Is it some kind of cult? Do they have a support group?

Cooking a steak fully through removes all flavour and also makes it quite..chewy, and disgusting.
Ordering a steak and getting it well done? the fúck indeed.
Order a chicken if you want it well done.

from here and many other places around the web: http://culinaryarts.about.com/od/beefporkothermeats/a/Well-Done-Steak.htm

Despite the fact that well-done steak is tough, dry and flavorless, there will always be people who insist on having their steaks cooked that way. You can reason with them all you want, but it's not going to change their minds. So what can you do?

Well, you could take your beautiful strip loin or Porterhouse steak and cook it well-done for them. But this is a crime against meat. Don't ruin your expensive steak this way. After you've gone to the trouble of selecting the best meat, seasoning it properly and prepping it for the grill, the last thing you want to do is massacre it by cooking it well-done.

That's right, I said massacre. What's so bad about cooking a steak well done? It all comes down to temperature. The longer you cook a steak, the hotter it gets, and as it heats up, the muscle fibers get firm and all the juices cook out.

The result is that the interior of a well-done steak is a uniform gray color, and the steak itself is tough, chewy, flavorless and dry. This isn't cooking, it's arson.

It's a disgrace to ruin steak by cooking it well done. Yes, ruin it. What the fúck is the point of ordering something when you're going to ask them them to remove all flavour and make it dry and chewy.

and yeah, I judge people who waste food. I think it's a bit of a disgrace to be that wasteful.

I once walked out of a job because of Garth Brooks. Hate that Bas*ard.

I think the concept of taste is an entirely subjective one, and indeed the cremation of another's steak hardly impacts on the taste of one's own. What does leave a bad taste in one's mouth is having to listen to a self-righteous wannabe cool culinary customer banging on about how "wrong" you are to want your food cooked :pac::pac:

That's why it's trivial :eek:

People who invade my space on airplanes - either the fool in front leaving down his seat, the fool behind digging their knees in my back or the fool at either side taking over the arm-rests.

Erm...if I want a chicken I will order a chicken?

How is steak a waste if I eat it??

Also, what's wrong with you that you get so worked up about how other people eat their food? It's actually none of your business. You act as if we are force feeding you nuked cow. But yes, it's a disgrace Joe

Feck yes. They are the same people who will declare a favourite song yet know neither its name nor the band behind it OR will declare favorite band but not own a single album.
Gareth Brooks- Music for people who dont like music.

People who hail the bus even though other people at the same bus stop have also hailed the same one.

Women who hail the bus with a finger.

On the phone to Revenue today and have to spend the first 3 minutes of the call just navigating the automated options. Got through that and went into the queue. The time estimate went 5 minutes waiting time, then 6, then 7, then 8.

A few minutes later I got through to someone and half way through telling them what my query was, I got cut off. So had to go through the whole rigmarole again!

OldNotWIse · 20-01-2014 06:21PM

People grabbing the rail at the top of your seat (on a bus, naturally) and inadvertently grabbing some of your hair too! :eek::eek::mad:

OldNotWIse · 20-01-2014 06:22PM

The way people sitting at the back of a bus facing the driver stare at you when you have to try to navigate/bump/crawl/trudge your way to the only free seat that happens to be opposite them. What are you staring at fuuckers?? It's not my fault they designed the bus for midgets!
