Bet he wasn't as wet as those people/lunatics who have been queuing outside ticketmaster in Limerick (and all over the country) since TUESDAY for Garth Brooks tickets.

Yes. Tuesday. In this weather.

Does. Not. Compute.

He had to take every stitch of clothing off in the kitchen and just put his clothes in the washing machine, even his boots were soaked. He'd left a towel on the floor under his coat as it was dripping wet. He wasn't a happy bunny:(

Just before you go asleep tonight, You could say "By the way was that you ringing earlier?":D

In savage humour tonight. Where shall I start?

Adverts of all sorts for bog roll and derivatives.
Adverts for nappies at meal times
123.ie adverts that suggest the first thing to do is call them rather than deal with the issue.
that feckin Allianz advert
too many adverts that either scream at me, or treat me like I am a complete neanderthal.
I am so glad that the sky box has a 30x fast forward button!

Names that are just wrong

AIB Bank......... Think about it
IBAN Number, and since when did a NUMBER have LETTERS in it? AND that stupid SWIFT code, is that B0F!!E2D, or BOFI1E2D, perm your choices there are several, and only one of them will work.

Companies that send out E-mail invoices using 6 pitch text, or use orange on white for text, or blue on black, and other totally unsuitable combinations of sizes and colours. Acres of white space, but text so small that you have to have a magnifying glass to read it.

Misleading adverts. Like Prepay power, that shows the user entering 3 digits and the code is accepted. Try 20, 40 or sometimes 60 digits. Damn electricity would have run out by the time that lot's been keyed in. If the CER figures are correct, they don't have 70,000 users either, nothing like it.

Semi State web sites that only have info@whereever.ie to contact the entire damn organisation, and when you do contact them, .it takes 6 months for them to even think about replying, if they ever do.

Web site that don't provide any meaningful information.

Search engines that don't have the item I am searching for, but pretend they have.

Search engines that can't just give me the result I want, they have to mess with it and give me things they think I want. WRONG.

Like I said, I'm in savage humour tonight

When posters on the forum refer to their wife or husband by using their own username. For example: Mrs. Omackeral.

Stop doing that. Stop now.

This is seriously annoying, and probably the most annoying site is Mickgarage.com, coming up as having the part on the main search page, click into their web page then and nothing.

Some horrific bastard now after leaving his hole behind him in the toilets or something, fcuk it I can't stay here, asshole! :mad:

Another lovely turn of phrase!!
Something similar happened to me in work yesterday. I went to the toilets and the first stall I went to reeked of a recently dropped (but nowhere to be seen) log. I backed out and went to the next one.

There was what looked like a partially chewed Toffee Crisp staring up at me in this one. I backed out.

Third time lucky. I don't care what funny looks I got from the women at the sinks. I don't want to look at or smell the contents of other people's arses!

We all have to poo at work from time to time. It's a simple thing to look in the bowl before you leave the stall and give it an extra flush. I wonder what the contract cleaning staff say about us.

Hearing Adds on Radio for air travel prices starting from....when checked out you nearly have to book flight a year in advance to get what they advertise....

We all need to go, I can understand that but just an extra glance if you've dropped off a slurry tanker load (and lets face it, you KNOW when you have) and give it the extra flush. Also that brush device beside the toilet is not a decoration. It's a wonder these companies don't have to use hazmat suits and steam pressure washers.

On that note - that poxy steam cleaner ad that does be on the telly in the early hours of the morning. I want to steam that guys voicebox. "all through the power of steam, no chemicals" ad infinitum :mad:

Standing in a queue in the post office today, 4 other customers in front of me waiting to be served and in walks Lieutenant Colombo in full uniform, marches up to the counter, puts his parcel on the desk, gets it weighed, pays his money and walks out again and not a person said a thing to him...

Colombo didn't wear a uniform.

People on their phone in the (female) gym changing room. Got daggers when I turned on the hairdryer. F**k off.

I thought phones were banned in gym changing rooms?

Things that annoy me - that immense feeling of guilt after eating a breakfast sandwich.
Felt so right at the time!
now, not so good

When the butter is too solid and the bread starts breaking apart while buttering it.

They should be, if they aren't already. I highly doubt anyone is taking photos of my saggy ass, but it's still not right having the phone out when there are people changing!

I wish people would just change and get the hell out of the changing rooms. Really annoying to have someone sitting there texting and chatting on the phone while you're trying to get at stuff in your locker and change with a bit of privacy.

Really man? :rolleyes:

The way the last couple of gums in a pack of Orbit are always stuck to the inner paper lining and you have to wreck the pack to get them out.

The marketing cycle. I don't know if it's just here or in other places too. Right now we are in the Valentine phase: pink flowers and glitter and bears and oversized cards and overpriced romantic getaways (and when did that become a word?) everywhere. I'm already seeing the jif lemon creep, and a hint of easter too... then we'll have Mother's day...make it up to her for being a b1tch...then various bank holiday "madness" sales of bbq's and garden furniture...we'll have Hallowe'en and Christmas all ooooooooover again.

The problem is not even simply the marketing, its the fact that it's getting more hysterical all the time...and prolonged too. There was a time when I was young that we'd at least get a fuucking break in between "events" and "extravangazas" but now the fuuckers are overlapping them all! I dont want any poxy hallmark cards, teddy bears, weekends away, special edition creme eggs, anorexic santas peddling couches for Hardly Normal or DFS or spooky mallows alright?! Gawd. :mad:

When you go into public toilets, by public toilets I'm talking about any toilet not in your own house, i.e. the toilets in your office building etc., and the lid is down. I always think I'm going to lift the lid and a pack of rats will emerge or there'll be some other surprise waiting.

Wossack · 06-02-2014 01:03PM

Microsoft Word 2010..
Theres just so many poxy 'nuances' (to say it politely). Its like there's a perfectly functional word processor in there, but they've somehow layered a veneer of heart breaking abject misery over it.

An example of a fairly simple action- lets select a single particular word.. 'lol nope, lets select the sentence, with.. no without the full stop. Oh and the space after the full stop'. Sigh, and lets paste it over in another program 'lol, lets pop up a dialog and let you change the word/sentence to bold, while your mouse pointer is over your other program'

Its like that poxy little paperclip ****er is still around, behind the scenes, twisted up like golum, and who's sole meaning in life is to obfuscate the simplest bloody action.

Years down the line I hope to read of the inventor of said paperclip, on trial in the Hague for crimes against humanity
