    It really bugs me when...

    When I'm putting the kids to bed someone will knock on the door wanting to upgrade my sky/phone/electricity

    When I go to bed my neighbour decides that's the time for him to go outside and play with his bins and see how many times he can bang them around an open and close the lids on them

    When im in town looking in a shop window then the whole world an it's mother decides there must be something interesting there so everyone decides to look and breathe down my neck while doing so

    When I buy something in a shop spending a lot of money and the change is 4.99 and I haven't got the 1 cent they'll still count out 4.99

    When my co worker picks her nose but wraps a hanky around her finger first and proceeds to have a good root around, like using a hanky means its no longer rude

    When i order a sandwich with no butter and they proceed to cut the sandwich with a buttery knife

    When I order a breakfast in a cafe and ask for the beans separate and it comes out with bean juice touching everything

    When people cough in my face or sneeze and spray snot particles everywhere

    The front of the Southside People, 2 models dressed in rugby gear with rugby balls. One is wearing silver sparkly platform heels, they must be 7 inches.

    Really annoying me.

    I completely understand where you're coming from gramar, euphemisms cause me terrible confusion too! :(

    See what I mean? I'm wondering could this be a euphemism for something entirely different... :pac:

    When a Sociological experiment is being conducted, and participants don't get that that's what it is.
    That, there there is very little I can do get them to see what it is, without causing offence to somebody. :)

    When you eat spicy chillis and later need to drop a log, but you just know that it will burn like an absolute mother****er. And so you delay the inevitable.

    Just like me. Now.

    That song by American Authors, the opening line irritates me so much and it's on the bloody radio every morning before I go to work.

    "I had a dream so big and loud, I jumped so high I touched the clouds" - wtf is that supposed to mean?! Stupid song.

    When you put on a sweater but the end of one of the sleeves is actually caught up inside the body of the sweater, and the harder you push your arm to try and get it free, the tighter it gets, so you have to take it off.

    When you open a website and it freezes your computer for maybe 10 seconds because there is so much crap like videos and other images on it.

    When presenters/guests pretend to speak to each other as the studio goes dark at the end of a program.

    Arrive to work and stop to take your swipe card from your bag. Guaranteed someone will come up behind you and pressure you to get out of the way/make small talk/engage in a "you go on, ah no you go on" waste of time...but forget your card and need to get in in a hurry? Not a fuucking sinner soul for ten minutes :mad:

    Also, the cyclist who looked pointedly at the lights when I ran across on the orange man and she breezed through. Guess what? Orange for me means red for you, ya silly bint. Or do you think the lights dont apply to you or something?

    Whoever the hell was playing a some game on their phone on the bus this morning with the volume up. It sounded like a cross between a cooing baby and angry birds!! :mad: I'm pretty sure whoever was behind me thought it was me because my chair got a few subtle kicks :pac:

    Went to pull my car into a multi-storey car park yesterday, pressed button for ticket, flashed up 'Car park full'. With no room in front of me to turn (actually there was but it was obstructed by the barrier which only lifts when you get your ticket), I was left to reverse potentially into an in-motion vehicle behind me if one was to turn in to the car park from the main road and then had to perform multiple three-point turns due to the narrowness of the car park entrance.

    Luckily no car did turn in to the car park entrance during all this but what a ludicrous situation.

    Just listening to the radio, they are having a quiz thing and they prize is a trip to Tayto Park/World or some ****e. The Ma is banging on and on about how she would love to win, it would mean soooo much to her six year old daughter, she would sooo love to go.

    If it means sooo much to her, put her in your fuuckin car and drive to it and pay for a bloody ticket!!

    Were you not able to take a ticket anyway and drive out the exit?
    Most car parks give you 15mins should you need to exit without paying.

    Maybe she can't afford the cost of the day out?

    How do you know? I don't see how somebody wanting to win a day out for their kids could annoy you!

    She said so.

    Anyway, if she was so poor, maybe she should stop eating Tayto.

    Nothing. But if it is something that the kid really, really wants, why not do what nearly every other parent does, take them to whatever it is. Instead of waiting for a quiz on the radio, which you may not win.

    This is Tayto Park we are talking about, not Disney in Florida.


    Am I annoying you?:D

    I am female by the way....

    That reminds me of another trivial annoyance. You know those "talent" shows where they interview the contestants before they audition and it's just this constant stream of drivel about how much it means to them, it means the world to them, it's their whole life, it's all they live for, winning would be everything etc? Get a fuucking life like. Really? It means the world to you? What like, more than your granny? Or your education? Or your health? Or, you know, real goals that are actually attainable? Or are you really putting this one in a million thing up on a pedastal over all else?zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Well I can see, because if you dont believe she cant afford it then her coming on air and whinging about it is annoying. And as she said, if it means that much, put her in the car and fuucking take her there yourself.
