    He's my neighbour, not my landlord, it's not as bad as it used to be, just a pain in the ass when it does flare up.

    If it were me and I had exhausted every avenue with the relevant authorities, I would probably try to find a way to disable his electricity or plumbing (tho not at the same time )while it was happening.
    I don't mean Pacific Heights kinda stuff or to go fiddling with wires or anything that could cause a fire.
    Just to knock it out while it's happening.

    It's not even the repetitive music so much as having a group of people on the other side of the wall who are off their heads and being really loud. The music goes on and off it's just that the people get louder the more out of it they get. You know what it's like when people shout over each other to be heard, add to that the fact that they all think they're hillarious. Not even remotely funny when you're sober.

    Are there other neighbors effected by all of this, on the other side of his house?

    Nope, he's end of terrace. At one point there were a few neighbours who were affected and who complained but once he moved out and put scum in for a few years people stopped complaining, they were afraid to. Since he's back it's the lesser of 2 evils. The lad will never change, but he's the type of arseho*e who'll eventually pi*s off the wrong person and he'll come off the worse for it. Just a juvenile pathetic little twat when all's said and done.

    find out if the sewer pipe starts or ends in his garden, if its first on the line get a few rods and keep blocking his sewer pipe from the other end ,

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,331 ✭✭✭deise08


    The rolls you buy loose in the supermarket, or they sell them in a four pack. You know those cuisine de france ones. Nice the day you buy them but turn into fcuking bricks overnight. Could break a window they get so hard

    Old slow noisy petrol pumps : you're freezing cold , deaf and you're arm is hanging off you before you even get a tenner in , update the pumps instead of instructing your shop assistants to ask me if I "want to try the lotto tonight?" Mr garage owner !

    You fill up the dishwasher and turn it on.....then you move a tea towel and there's a fork under it!!

    I hate the way it speaks, full stop. Nothing to do with the accent.

    By the way, before you press 'start' on the main screen, look a little more carefully - there's a volume control panel, press it and she's muted!

    I could have hugged the person that showed me that one day, when they heard me telling the robot to shut the fvck up

    I once heard a man on the bus screaming into his phone,

    "If you eveeer fcuking tell me again.... to Have a nice daiii" I'll come up to that fcuking call center an rip your bleedin spleen out through your mouth. Ya useless bollox"
    Then he hung up, and his friend asked him, "Wot did e say?"
    He answered "They won't do anything till ya pay them some of what ya owe, You'll just have to give the fcukers the tenner"

    We nearly keeled over laughing.

    Headlines on news stories that are completely misleading or over the top. Waste your time. One that's comes to mind was that one where the Hull City Owner was headlined as saying the Hill fans could go die. You click in and it just wasn't what he said or meant at all. Totally out of context and misquoted.
    Very frustrating.

    Sky sports news creating a week of news from the same information....:mad:

    Even their website... It literally has a new headline each day of the week, eg. on Mata going to united last Monday, then pretty much copies and pastes the same article with a different headline, and if your lucky maybe one line from someone else's opinion... but there is no further news on the subject! :mad:

    Especially the girl who comes back to her apartment to find water running out from under the door - she sounds like she's about to give birth, not shouting "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLIANZ"!!!!

    When people block the aisles in supermarkets with buggies/trolleys OR walk so slowly and it's impossible to pass them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,331 ✭✭✭deise08


    People who can't chew bubble gum wit their mouth closed, or chew it where you can hear every smack as they open and close their mouth.

    I'm told a sprinkle of water and a couple mins in the oven will sort that out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,128 ✭✭✭RedFormanFITA


    Lip smackers. People who smack their lips after every time they swallow food or drink something.

    The way Dublin and Cork northsiders pronounce the word "follow" as follie. :confused:

    Haven't slept more than 4 hours any night since September. Trivial and very annoying.
    In other news it is 6 hours 6 minutes until my alarm goes off .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    Those people who wander over and start a conversation with someone they know when they see them packing their shopping. WTF is that about:confused: Could it not wait until they've packed their shopping and left the supermarket:confused: Would it really be that taxing to wait the 2 or 3 minutes that it would take for them to be done and therefore avoid a buildup of shoppers waiting to get served while they natter away and let the groceries build up at the bottom of the checkout:mad:

    woke up after 3 hours sleep dieing of thirst, shaking and light headed. last while of bad eating has caught up with me and im back to the delightful hypoglycemic nights


    all I can do is eat something and wait an hour until I feel better. or else by then the panic attack will have grown and the food wont help, or else I'm actually dying this time and the "it's just a panic attack, breathe" is a sick ironic joke

    Why are people allowed to maul the rolls and bread in the supermarket? WHY??? I was in SuperValu last week picking up some rolls to have with my soup and there was a teenage girl standing at the bread rolls picking up and inspecting every single one of them with her bare hands. I said to her "do you really need to touch all of the bread?" and she told me to **** off. Well excuse me if I don't want your nasty germs all over my food!
    There must be some way the supermarkets can prevent this or maybe, just maybe, people could exercise some basic hygiene practices!!

    I know she was in the wrong and all, but this made me laugh! :o

    How many times do we read stories on here about how passive aggressive some people are or how they said this, this and this to somebody and they "really showed them"... that stuff is trivially annoying!

    I wish people could just be straight with each other! :D

    Your approach was far too subtle to be understood clearly, it needed to be more -

    "Hands off the bread, bítch!" :pac:

    Buses (5 to be precise) driving past on a wet morning because they are full of fat fuuckers who have been on them half the morning. Fuucking insanely annoying :(:( Get off and let me on b*stards.

    Sorry, but there is nothing remotely nice about ANY Cuisine de France bread. Half baked crap that gets delivered to supermarkets that then either over or under cook, you end up with poxy doughy bits of crap. If you tried to sell **** like that in France, they would chop your head off.:pac:
