Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

Hope it's okay to start the new thread (not sure if mods have to do it).

I posted this right at the end of the last thread so just carrying it over as it has me driven demented.

I have a question on this subject.

This sort of crap - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/10623371/Rave-event-horror-as-60-youngsters-fall-ill.html

A rave!? These bloody journalists wouldn't know a real rave if it came up and slapped them in the face.

P1sses me off, like we saw with that shambles of a Swedish House Mafia gig in PP, the media jumps on dance and club music in general and has a right old rant at it.

These little sh1ts do not represent and do nothing for the reputation of the thriving worldwide club and underground music scene. This was a commercial dance-pop 'EDM' event and not representative of club culture. So get off yer high horses, lazy journalists!

the direction the triangle points indicates which side of the car is the filler cap

It means the computer says no.

Computer says no is a trivial irritation that causes no end of grief the world over, I should think :P

AFIK, EDM can mean Event Driven Music, Or Event Driven Marketing.
Out of curiosity, Which do you mean?
Just a thought, But maybe it was advertised locally as a rave event?

Oh, thanks for reminding me: Leitrim County Council for banning tag bins in our county! We only need a few collections a year, which costs us around 60 quid all told. Largely because we get our food mostly from a local butcher and an organic shop in Dromod, neither of which use packaging apart from the brown paper wrapping of the butcher.

But there is a lot of illegal dumping, so some tit of a local environment officer has decided that forcing everybody to sign up for pay-per-weight, which carries an annual service charge of around 350 quid, will mean that they can catch the offenders by basically arresting anybody who has a suspiciously low disposal weight!

What the effing eff? I've despaired of any sense in the administration of this country long since, but this sure takes the figroll! And be warned, I've heard rumours that his tit-brained idea is being lauded from above, and is likely to be adopted countrywide before too long!

When you buy a can of soda and the person at the counter touches the part of the can that you drink from with their filthy hands and then you have to wash it under a tap

What about the tap itself? Would you not worry that someone's touched the end of it with their hands, or even their mouth? :eek:

I have no idea what that means (particularly because I've never watched Game Of Thrones), but any guy wearing any of those slogan tee shirts like "FBI- Female Body Inspector", yeah?

They need a good kick in the stones. It was acceptable in the 80's when Frankie said Relax, but now? No.

Why oh Why do people pay into gigs, stand in the middle of the crowd and attempt to have a (shouted) conversation over the music.
I really don't understand the logic of paying into a venue in order to ignore the performance and p!ss off the people who might actually want to enjoy the show.

Save some money and have your inane conversation anywhere else. Anywhere...

I think that its good to let the performers know that they are not being entertaining to everyone. Every gig should have a few non-fans, even people booing if its bad enough. At festivals, you see a fair share of bad bands in between the ones you want to see.

I can see how it would annoy me if people boo a band i like, but i also think its good to show that the band arent everyones cup of tea. That way, when you get a gig that everyone is cheering, you KNOW it was a good one.

the amount of oul lad's in the Ben Dunne gym in Kimmage walking around/chatting/havin the craic b*ll*k naked. It's disgusting. Get changed quickly and get the f*ck out. Seriously. Who likes hanging around changing rooms?

When they're not doing that they're sitting in the jacuzzi outside the female changing room gawping at all the women coming out, or standing around the pool chatting and getting in everyone's way, or sitting in the steam room effing and blinding at the tops of their voices. Some of those aul fellas seem to live in Carlisle. They're always there, no matter what time of the day or evening it is.

To be fair, you can't blame men for where the Jacuzzi is situated:D. I gave up going to my local pool, between not being able to get a decent swim with aul wans doing keep fat classes in the water, yakkin for fuuckin ages in the Jacuzzi ( despite a 20 min limit) and using the sauna without showering beforehand.....dry hair and a smell of Impulse gives it away. So in short, it works both ways.

No, but some of them seem to be always in it and openly staring at everyone. I've even seen some of the men lying on their stomach in the jacuzzi rather than sit with their back to the pool and dressing room. Ugh. I agree women can be annnoying too, but it's the sleaziness of some of the men that annoys me. I've heard other people commenting on it as well.

Any t-shirt or mug etc that starts with "Keep Calm". It makes me the very opposite.
