    RTE Radio (and others) turning abbreviations into words. Current one is of course the Garda Ombudsman ie G.S.O.C. this has become G-sock. Is it that hard to say G S O C

    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:


    God dammit, too early in the morning for this craic, read the above as fisting and thought "Shivers you filthy minx! :D", second reading I realised "Ohh shiii... fishing!"... :o

    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!
    when I come to power, these people will be killed.

    Walking in town the other day, passing Easons and I see a girl standing up against the wall eating McDonalds out of a bag. She crumples the whole thing up and just f*cks it on the ground and starts walking away.

    Queue me shouting after her, 'you dropped something' and glaring at her knowingly until she saunters back for it . My mam is gas'if you get us killed ill murder you' :D

    The big fat eastern european guy who gets on my bus.... no matter where I sit he sits beside me cutting off circulation to one of my arms. Buts thats not the annoying bit.

    I swear he puts a dry rub of tobacco all over himself in the morning before he sets off. Pure stink. From reading boards I thought our eastern neighbours were supposed to be hot.

    Sc*mbags. They are so volatile and reactive sometimes. Nearly ploughed into two who were pushing a buggy at 90 mph last night, probably on their way to get a fix somewhere. Instead of saying "excuse me" or "sorry" or "excuse you" like normal, civilised people, they started hurling abuse at me. All sorts of obscenities. I'm looking at them thinking, God love you if this is the only way you can communictae. Yer one was hysterical, shrieking "thats a fuucking child in that buggy!!" and I'm thinking, yeah a child that will be brought up on benefits, sent out to play on the street while you drink and score, and in all likelihood would be better off removed from your care and given to people who actually want a child. B*stards.

    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.:

    That reminds me of a girl I used to work with who referred to herself as the 'baby' of the office because she was the youngest member of staff. She was in her bloody twenties, and it sounded ridiculous.

    I know it's been done to death.....

    I sometimes think mobile phones are the work of the devil and should be banned! I just had to listen to ten minutes of a child bawling it's head off, obviously in distress, while it's owner/minder had what seemed like a pointless, drawn out yak on the phone which went like "yeah,, yeah, mmmm, yeah, really, no, no, I dunno, maybe, shure yill have to ass her yerself, no, no, ok then, later"

    But then I went in to a shop, guy in front has a few bit and pieces, and was perusing the "impulse buys" at the counter.

    Guy: "how much are they?"
    Girl at tll: "Fifty cent each"
    Guy" Will you give me three for one euro?"

    Girl: "No"

    Pure magic, and made my day.

    You do something for someone as a courtesy one day, and the next day they simply expect you to do the same thing for them again.

    Granted I could've said "no", but I'm not one to see anyone left in a tight spot either, and due to the fact she's about to drop another one any day now I said I might as well collect her child from school while I was collecting my own.

    Not particularly happy about the last-minute "Just calling to remind you to collect <my child> from school"...


    Wouldn't like to see the child left stranded at the school either... damn! :mad:

    The term "these days".

    Music is crap these days.

    Kids have no respect these days.

    Things aren't made to last these days.

    Nightclubs that hire a photographer to take pictures of everyone. There he or she is, walking around wearing a raincoat, yes indoors, and a look on their face that says, I'm going to blackmail you with these photos.

    Should use the same approach as one of my mates, quiet girl, you wouldn't expect it of her (which made it even funnier) when some guy came up to her in the club and was getting ready to take a picture when she burst out -

    "GET THAT PHONE OUT OF MY FACE OR I'LL SHOVE IT UP YOUR HOLE!!"


    Shocked expressions all round, I think she even shocked herself :D
