    My Swiss milk chocolate with maple syrup and caramelised fine walnut pieces had not the slightest hint of maple syrup in it. Now that's trivial:D

    The rust on my shaving gel/foam can. Even after a few days it looks terrible and creates a sloppy look around my bathroon sink. What am I supposed to do, dry the can every time I shave? Ahhhh!!!

    In the local Tesco there and there was some piece of work paying for her goods. She had a baby blue velour tracksuit on, big furry uggs and large hoop earings, made up with some orange cement to within an inch of her life. Beside her was a very tiny baby in a pram that would probably only fit into a disabled parking spot - we're talking white patent leather, matching baby bag, huge wheels etc. As if that wasn't amusing enough, her parenting seemed to extend as far as "Ah jaysis Shakira stop cryin'" :eek:

    Ah I actually shuddered. So many of these specimens in Limerick.

    Gillette usually, the green one for the foam and i think the blue one for the gel. Trivial, yes I know!

    People who sit with their indicator on in car parks waiting for some shopper to put several bags of groceries into the boot, strap in two toddlers and bring the trolley back to the trolley bay, while a long line of cars builds up behind them and out onto the road holding up traffic. Just bloody move on and wait for another space to become vacant.

    I know I probably posted this on the earlier thread but...people standing in an entrance/ exit to have a big chat, oblivious to the fact that people actually need to get in and out! I was going into a building this week with a swipe device by the entrance. Four people were standing at the door, having a major chinwag, and managing to block the door, plus access to the swipe device!

    Even worse when they're all puffing on cigarettes.

    People who can't sit through a film without munching, crunching, rustling, slurping and guzzling. They also often decide the most tense and dramatic moment of a film would be a good time to root at the bottom of the bag to see if there's any maltesers left.
    Even the IFI, which used to be a guzzle free zone, has been affected. The amount of people rustling through sweet bags during Inside Llewyn Davis last night was crazy.

    Like what? We're hardly going to go out and get pissed seeing as we'll be back on the clock for the kids by 5pm and we both get enough opportunity to socialise with friends separately. Or did you have something else in mind for us to do?!

    We haven't been to the cinema together in about 3 years since having the kids as when we do get babysitters it just tends to be something we don't do, preferring instead to go for a nice meal or a few drinks so we thought it would be nice. Just in case you're worrying about us we will also make sure to make the most of this annual leave day by having a nice lie in once the kids head off to creche and a spot of lunch in a nice restaurant before the film ;)

    Cold callers. I know they're just trying to earn a living, but it annoys me. The other day is was Eircom and my husband was asleep as he was on nightshift. I didn't answer the door as I wasn't going to buy whatever he was selling, then he came back that evening, still didn't answer the door.

    I never buy anything from cold callers. I hate the fact that most, if not all, service providers are sending reps door to door. I have the internet, if I want to see what they're offering I'll look online, or phone them.

    Same, I never answer the door, the only people who ever call are friends or the landlord and they always ring or text ahead, if there's unexpected knock on the door 100% its a salesman. I dont even care if they can see me on the couch, not answering.
