    Indeed this is why I find it trivially annoying that cycling is brought up on irrelevant threads, because there are ****heads on both sides (myself included, you not) who derail threads by getting arsey

    EVERYTHING is moaned about on this thread, not just cycling or cyclists:D, welcome aboard.

    Does he do the fake coughing aswell? It boils my piss when I'm out on the street with an UNLIT fag and some fcuking fairy starts this fake "Ahem ahem aha" sh!te whilst throwing dirty looks.

    I always point the UNLIT fag at them and say: "It's unlit there sunshine."

    :mad::mad:

    They're trying to hint at you not to light up around them. Maybe you're a considerate smoker, but so many smokers see nothing wrong with blowing smoke around strangers on a crowded street or lighting up beside them at the bus stop that a lot of non smokers just automatically go into offensive mode when they see a dreaded cigarette emerging from a box.

    Yup that one gets me every time too. Also I hate when two people who meet in town will stop and have a conversation at the entrance of the store or in the middle of the footpath. Have the courtesy to go off to the side and let people pass. At the moment that is one of my biggest pet peeve

    The Texaco on the N4 at Lucan. Every time I want to enter that place there are people blocking the entrance. Whats worse for me its usually two sets of Gardai (on different shifts usually) chatting away. One thing about telling a group of teenagers to move over, it's another asking grown ass adults with power to move over please. Pretty sure my car will be 'randomly' picked out to check if I do :)

    Ladies in work leaving the seat up.. the seat and the lid... Worse than that ladies leaving p*ss all over the toilet seat. Filthy b*tches I work with.
    If you want to hover over the seat please wipe it when your done.
    I always wonder do they do the same at home.

    Get you own back (not literally) and use some clingfilm.

    Wait for the "drumroll" and the scream..................

    Allowing baby prams/strollers/buggies on rush hour Darts, while bikes aren't allowed

    OK, I am not a cyclist so it doesnt bother me that I cannot bring my bike, but its double standards isnt it?
    And frankly whatever about a fold up buggy, some prams these days are the size of a small family car...flippin huge
    thing with bags and raincovers taking up a ton of space and hacking the ankles off all those around getting on and off the train

    And at least a bicycle will just stand there quietly ...whereas a baby will squawk and shriek and basically annoy the heck out of everyone trying to get their day off to a good start

    There is a kid who is on one of the early morning northbound darts and I now actually avoid thata train . The kid is like a car engine which wont start, you know like on a cold morning an engine turning over but not catching, so a sort of erratic 'ehuh...ehuh ehuh ehuh.........ehuh ' sound

    dad stands there looking ambivalent (probably immune to it) but making no effort to intervene


    its not a really trivial thing, especially if you cannot board the train in the morning as there is no space left

    Ladies that don't flush properly.

    The amount of times I've retched... and I'm not normally averse to the sight of blood, but that's just wrong!

    +1. "Ladies" my arse!

    Poo on the floor
    Piss on the floor
    Used tampons on the floor
    Piss all over the seat
    Bloody / Shítty finger wipe marks on the partition wall
    Unflushed logs
    Used Pads sticking up out of the bin

    These are some of the things I've seen in "ladies" bogs. Yecch.

    The uppity little cow clerk in the bank this morning. I was putting some cash into my account and when I got to the counter she asked me if she could come around and show me how to use the self-service deposit machine, I bloody know how to use it, it wasn't convenient for me to wait for the 4 people who were already queuing for it to finish. Little bitch rolled her eyes at me when I said no, that it was quicker for me to do it over the desk, for fecks sake, if I wanted to queue for the machine I'd have done so:mad:


    Sarcastic eye rolling, fricking annoys the Hell out of me.

    Somewhere where people should know better! Durty wagons. I've heard the Gents is better, but not much. Maybe I'll start going in there!

    Happened me a while ago. Wanted to lodge a cheque (and it was a Revenue one, printed so shouldnt have been an issue). Big queue for tellers so I went for the smaller queue at self service. B*starding machine wouldnt accept it. So I had to joing the bigger queue and wait for a teller. When I got to the top she gently reminded me that I could lodge it using the self service machine!

    well a lot of the time you just dont realise how bad they smell while you're a smoker

    i'm still a tiny bit blown away when I can quite easily smell the smokers walking around a supermarket, not even trying to rub my genitals off them or anything just walking by at a normal distance


    My mum says the same, said she'd NEVER be one of those holier than thou types now that she's given up... but that the smell suddenly really is much more noticeable and very very repulsive

    I was in a "gents" in Casablanca, when I say in it, I opened the door and ran away. The above was not even close.................

    Being forced to park badly by some halfwit who abandons their car next to the only available spot left, and then they leave before me, and it looks like I'm the selfish twat.

    It makes it so much worse when you feel patronised by someone younger than you too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Ihatecuddles


    I don't know if she annoys me or I just pity her. But I know a girl who tries really really hard to come off as 'quirky' but she just comes across as desperate for attention and a bit pathetic. I'd say I'm being too harsh but she's also a horrible person, which just makes it more annoying.

    She calls people 'Bruv'. Makes me cringe and want to punch her in the jaw.

    "Have you got a wedding dress?"
    "Certainly, what size would you like?"
    "One to fit a six foot bloke! :D"

    I can get a bit uppity with people like that. Tend to say things like"Is that a problem for you? Is it not within your job description or your remit? Should I use another counter or branch, Different bank maybe?"
    Usually sorts it.:D
