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.

Alright mate, calm down!

Driving a borrowed car and pull up at petrol pump and filler is at wrong side even though you thought you guessed right.

Look at the fuel gauge, there is a little arrow pointing to the side the filler cap is on.

You Are Welcome !:cool:

Those shreddie knitting grannies on the tv ad.
How anybody can buy shreddies, after watching that ad,is beyond me.

Just not appealing -ever.

I hate it when people act like After Hours is some zany, take-no-prisoners forum.
"You shouldn't post that here, After Hours will eat you alive lol!"

Cringe.

Two females, should have known I wasn't winning this argument

Sorry for calling you mate if that's not acceptable either!

The mate thing is nothing to do with being female, I just dont like it. It's a kind of patronizing, over-familiar term. (And when I see it, I hear an annoying Australian accent in my head lol). I have friends, not mates, and none of them are on Boards :P

Walking to work on wet days. It's absolutely nailed on that I will stand on the corner of the one concrete slab in the pavement that is loose, and proceed to squirt muddy water all over myself.

Being the only person in for a class. It's frickin' painful.

When people refer to their house as 'my ' or 'the property ' , ok we know you own your own house , so what , call it a house , it's not a ' property ' even if you have a conservatory and its detached with fake Georgian pillars ..... Plebs .

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?

Not all cyclists, but some (and a lot that I seem to encounter) will just go with whatever light suits them at the time. Traffic light green? "I'm a cyclist, I'm a road user with the same rights as a car, I'll go now". Pedestrian light green? ""I'm a cyclist. I shouldn't have to wait like those other loser road users. I'll go now".

I've no problem with someone walking their bike across, but don't cycle and act put out that pedestrians crossing are slower than you. And for Christ's sake, stop cycling on the footpath!!! (And yes, I know the difference when it's actually a cycle path too...)

There's also a marked increase in Galway lately of cars moving well after the light turns red, so as a pedestrian, you've got the green man but you've to wait for an extra 3-4 cars to go before you can walk, or risk getting hit. That's all well and good for those of us who can see, but what if someone who has limited sight and is following the beeping steps out in front of a car?

Phew.

Just got my phone back from getting repaired last week and today it somersaulted out of my pocket and into the toilet. Ugh..

Both things that drive me mad :mad: Sometimes to annoy them, when I see the lights just turning red I put one leg out to make them think I'm going to step out, so whatever pleb was intending to speed through has to brake. Mwaa ha haaaa

When I learned to drive, amber meant "stop unless it's not safe to do so". Now it seems to have taken on a new meaning - "speed up sure fuuck it it'll be grand, and its not like 4 cars wont be speeding through on your tail".

Hilarious to see cyclists flying down O'Connell street frantically ringing their little bells at at the crazy pedestrians running out in front of them

Not that I condone jaywalking but they are probably the same ones who could do with a fuucking gong at other times to remind them that red means s-t-o-p.

I agree 100%.

In my local Tesco shop, I've been called "my love" by one member of staff and "my dear" by another- not just once but repeatedly.:mad:
Almost as bad as being called "missus" by anyone-:mad: hate that too.

Just.Say.Nothing.Please.

Just posted in another thread about chicken rolls, and remembered something that happened last week.

Went into Centra and my friend knew the guy behind the counter. He asked what she was up to, she said shopping for bridesmaids dresses, shes getting married. (pointing to me) He looks at me like Ive 10 heads and asks how old I am, I said 22. He starts banging on about it will never work and some nosey old bag joined in.

:mad:

I used to get called 'pet and petal' when we lived in Yorkshire, I hate those names. It was like living in a Hovis ad. People there actually do say 'by eck':D

I was called 'baby' in a shop the other day. Numerous times!! I wanted to punch her.

Oh aye - there's another thing, them spare buttons they sew on to the care label on the seams of shirts, sometimes they're too low and dig into my side at belt/waist level. Besides I haven't had a button even come loose in years.

People who litter on the DART. The other day I was sitting opposite a young female who took a candy out of her bag, unwrapped it, put the candy in her mouth and threw the wrapper on the floor. My blood boils! Another day, another woman pealed an orange and threw the peal under her seat :mad:

People who put their feet on seats, too. Ugggh!

This always grates on me; people in their 20s calling their younger sibling (who's like 3 or less years apart) their little brother/sister. It's very cringy.
It's something I stopped doing when I was 12. My brothers are similar in age to me, I couldn't imagine calling them my 'little brothers' though.

Another thing that annoys me is Facebook, especially when people post status' about good things that happened to them (ie, fishing!). The way I go about it is tell people who I want to know, by text/call/whatever. When you actually think about it, who knows who can access information through your FB/friend of a friends FB. :eek:
