    Wearers of any type of shirt at all with popped collars deserve a punch in the jaw. Pink ones doubly so.

    mildly bothers me when there's a sale on in a shop, and the signs read '-50% off'

    People on forums who throw the expression 'child hater' around if anyone dares criticise badly behaved children in restaurants, P&T parking spaces, people who talk about their children all the time etc.

    Or when a sign says "for free". It's so incorrect. It's either "free" or "for nothing" :mad:

    Also hate when a sign says "up to 70% off" and there is one item on the rail with 70% off.

    Finally, Marks and Spencers complete stingebaginess when it comes to sales. They cant rbing themselves to take half off when the sale starts. They just cant bear it. I've often gone in and seen something reduced from say €60 to €47. Wait a while...it will be reduced to €39....eventually you'll get ot for €7 anyway :rolleyes:

    Pastel coloured clothing on men. Especially pink shirts, they are just wrong. I don't know why it annoys me so much, very petty.

    Pink shirts on men. How did all these feckin GQ style magazines manage to hoodwink heterosexual men into thinking it was ok to wear f*cking pink?!

    People do this on buses as well. They won't move down the bus and spread out a bit. As a result no one can get on or off and the driver has no way of telling if there's room to let any more passengers on.

    Usually with the purchase of two products, one to be an expensive potion in an even more expensive bottle that has been tested on some ten thousand poor beagles and rats with tumours for heads and ears growing on their backs and a few blinded bunnies too, and promises to make you look good again when in reality it will not help you fight gravity, drying, sagging or the loss of eggs and plummet in oestrogen as you dry up and start to crinkle... I mean....one to be skincare :P

    Saw a pair at this on the Halfpenny Bridge the other day. They were still at it when I crossed back over 10 minutes later and the urge to push them over the side of the bridge was a hard one to resist!

    Pink is a power colour though, pink ties can look savage with the right suit.

    Aberrant acronyms. After learning what LABIA meant in the turn ons/turn offs thread, I'm almost dreading asking what SEPA means... suffice to say, I'm clearly not ready for whatever the hell it is? :(

    Well that wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it was. I imagined something to do with... seepage.

    Euch.

    "Seepage", a horrible word, almost as convulsion inducing as "moist panties"...

    Double euch.

    Always find it strange if I bring my nephews or niece to McDonalds on a Saturday evening and see adults minus kids choosing to have their dinner there, sitting with their coats on eating chips with their fingers and holding paper wrapped burgers in their hands . It's not the most comfortable or calm of places for an enjoyable evening meal. I can understand if you're having a rushed lunch or are on your way to a class straight after work and just need to grab something quick. But it's not somewhere I'd choose for a relaxing weekend meal without kids.
    Still, to each their own.
