They might have book smarts but sitting 9 means they ain't got no street smarts :cool:

Keeping their options open? It's not all about the points either (though admittedly the way the current LC curriculum is set up, unfortunately the majority of students tend to feel it IS all about the points!), but some students will take on subjects purely out of interest in the subject matter.

Actually you just reminded me of something that frustrates me up to the back teeth-

I'm forever telling students be it at primary, secondary and even third level, to go outside the damn curriculum! They'll bitch and moan and blame everybody else then when they allow themselves to be fed just enough information to pass exams!

Pain in my face now

The predictive text on my phone. When ever I want to say "of" it types "me". The word "of" is used a lot more often than the word "me" in texts as quite often I may text someone asking them "to get a ____ of _____". It's very inconvenient having to go back and change the word.

And it has been proven that such bookworms don't always make the best doctors, barristers or architects. So much so that many places are now holding tests and interviews to fill places so these Über bookworms won't always get their way when it comes to getting into 3rd level.

If anything getting nine A1's should be seen as a very bad thing. I've never seen any folllow up stories on the news....how they got on in and after college? Unless they're too busy sitting quietly in a cubicle somewhere mulling over neatly assorted notes ruled in red bic biro :rolleyes:

Anything to do with cyclists vs motorists on boards. Somehow it all inevitably breaks down into a justification of a behaviour on the grounds that the other party are worse.

I know a guy that got 9 A1s and now he's a pedophile. :rolleyes:

Seriously? Anyone who is annoyed at that is merely jealous.

Text speak.
People who ring you back when you've just texted them.
The obsession with the weather. It's not bad weather, put on a coat.
People who can't sit still, constantly fidgeting, checking their phone, general uneasiness.

Urban planners - just make the fvcking paths in a straight line, thats how people go from A to B.

Oh look a grass patch between a shop and a directly facing school/workplace.
Lets make a big long path around the exterior.
For I am un-necessary walky man.

Waste of concrete, more mud on shoes, area now looks like sht.

People assuming, just because I have kids, that I like/am interested in/am tolerant of other people's kids.

If I text someone, it's probably because I can't talk to them - at work/start of lecture etc, so them calling when they get the text is annoying because I usually can't answer them. I think people should take their cue for the method of communication from the instigator. If you text, they can text you back. Imagine if you called and instead of answering they cut you off and sent you a text because they preferred that mode of communication?

You see them on lamposts and bus stops around the place. I never read one in full, but its some kind of lefty group telling you that you cant be evicted for not paying your mortgage. Something about a legal determination blah blah.

Ah, thanks. Sounds like freeman rubbish.

Anyway, my extremely trivial annoyance this morning is AA roadwatch referring to the M7 as going North/South, when to my mind it's East/West. They also refer to the Limerick Tunnel as East/West when it's more North/South.

Deliberately going to Starbucks for coffee because they make them cool enough to drink.straight away and then the girl giving you a piping hot coffee and you burn your tongue and dont have enough time to drink it before your appointment.

OldNotWIse · 23-01-2014 10:57AM

The way rents have just jumped seemingly overnight by around 20% :eek:

People who say KG's, when referring to kilograms, as in baggage allowance is twenty KG's. It is written as twenty KG's but pronounced as kilos or kilograms. In the "old" days we did not say "20 LB's" we said it as 20 pounds, so there. Trivial but annoying.

This doesn't make any sense.

People say kgs because it is a very apt initialisation of a longer work 'kilo' and 'gram' = kgs. Simple enough I think!

Trivial annoyance for me, is when posters on boards don't know when to use an apostrophe!

It makes sense to me because it is trivial and it annoys me. This is the place for trivial annoyances. if this was the place for "things that do not make sense" then that would make sense. Does that make sense?:p

Too cool for school 'hipster' service from some waiting staff in many of the 'trendier' places around town. I'm not expecting to be fawned over but I expect my waiter or waitress to be courteous and to at least pretend to be interested!

George Bernard Shaw.....

Half an hour waiting to be served because I didn't have the right haircut, NHS glasses or Morrisey t-shirt. One barman blanked me three times when I asked for a pint, then I asked another prick and he told me there was no need for shouting!!

If I was actually shouting at him, he would have know about it.
