    The fact that I can't get the Clapping Song out of my head now.

    More than trivially annoying in fact. Finds nearest bridge... :P

    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 ;)

    I think you'll find that most peoples trivial annoyances are nothing to do with them. Hence why most of them are trivial, but you don't seem to understand the thread. Also I'm not getting that worked up about it? but then again that would go back to understanding the thread..or even the word trivial.

    edit: Ahhah. Think this is probably the reason why R&R has the anti rant rule. Much better.

    Men putting loose change into wallets. :o

    Bag rustlers at the cinema. Sounds like they are wrapping Christmas presents. Like that retired cop last week in the States, if I was armed, Id probably shoot them.

    People rushing to get up off their seats when the plane lands. Then they're just left standing in the aisle for ages waiting for the door to open. You'd swear the plane was after been hijacked the way some of them try to get off.

    Or buses when they arrive, people crowding towards the doors before the last crowd have even gotten off. Maybe makes sense if there's a big crowd and a chance not everyone will get on, but that hardly ever happens and every time I get on a bus I see one or two at least doing it.

    There's enough room for everyone, the bus isn't going to leave before everyone is on anyway, calm down!

    People who put their unwrapped bread or rolls on the checkout belt.
    Nothing to do wit me but just annoys me so much.
    Or when they hand it to me when serving them. I tell them I don't want to handle it because I've been handling money, detergents and meat and they look at me for like I'm weird?
    is it just me?

    As a follow on from this. When a plane has started its descent, the captain has put on the seatbelt sign and people decide now is a great time to get up and either go to the toilet or start hoking around in the overhead bin.

    That's probably me in front of you... ;):D

    The amount of dog ****e though really IS ridiculous, and worse when it's smeared all over the damn pavement! It's not just unsightly, it's a slipping hazard :mad:

    There is a silver lining though.

    I've been in a less-than-cheerful mood walking to college some mornings, and then I happen across a particularly evil dog turd that someone has already stood in, possibly only minutes before I arrive on the scene....

    And as I follow the footprints (carefully avoiding the same fate), I am reduced to tears(of laughter) by imagining the reaction of the poor unfortunate person that started their day by treading in dog sh1t and frantically tracking it up the street trying to get rid of it.

    I found an amazing one on Mulgrave St. once, I swear to the holiest of holy things, someone had come into contact with one of these beauties and turned it into a three foot skid mark. I imagine it was something like Dancing on Ice.:D

    I learned this the very first time I was in London on the underground......manners dictate that everyone waits until all passengers have gotten off the train before anyone gets on, keeping clear of the door as they do so. Also, on the escalators or stairs, you keep to the left hand side and don't just stand there in the like a damn lemon :mad: Some people are in a hurry and like to walk up the escalator to expedite the process..

    I am sick to death of having to take evasive action when people come down/up stairs two or sometimes three abreast. :(

    When people feel the need to say
    'I'm after catching your cold.'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,271 ✭✭✭annascott


    When people hold their cutlery like pens, darts or hammers..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,720 ✭✭✭Sir Arthur Daley


    When you leave for work late, about to drive off and realise you have forgot to bring your lunch, run back to house for lunch and realise you left the house keys in the car so run back to the car for the keys to open the door.

    When walking and the path is covered in dog business. Do these people seriously think it's ok to leave it there for everybody to step on or try and avoid

    Yes, but we were talking about death rates from eating undercooked beef or lack thereof and scientific evidence to back it up....

    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!

    Ya know, you're really gonna have to start cycling to work :D

    People clanking their cutlery off their teeth as they eat, and holding said cutlery like they're holding a shovel. Also Noisy eaters. Learn some table manners you caveman.

    Which brings us on to "bastards on bikes", is there a speed limit for a cyclist on a footpath? A couple on evenings ago, I am walking the faithful hound on footpath ( which permits cycling) all nice and quiet then out of nowhere, fcuking WHOOOSSH, lycra clad bikeman at the speed of sound passes by, missing me by a hair and frightens the bejaysus out of me. dog looks at me as if to say WTF was that.:)

    I have to take immunosuppressant injections once a week and within a couple of days of taking it I have a head cold. I only just get rid of it and then I have the next injection and it starts all over again. Sitting here with a lemsip, fever and itchy, sneezy nose. Christ only knows what I'll be like when I switch from the injections to the infusions. Freaking weird diseases:mad::mad::mad:
