You don't need to begrudge anyone anything. Just.... some hygiene awareness... be grand.

You're quite right whirlpool, it used fiercely annoy me when the girls would leave a soggy copy of the Daily Sport behind them after using the facilities :mad:

A DRY copy would've been a proper courtesy, how could I do the crosswords? It's just not the same doing crosswords on your phone!

When I'm trying to concentrate hard on something, and suddenly I'm getting itchy in places I didn't even realise there were nerve endings.

Just when I'm about to beat my Flappy bird record, suddenly itchy teeth.

Operation Transformation. Why is this sh*t repeated ad nauseum? If people wanted to watch it they could watch it when each new episode is on, or they could record it. But a lot of the time when I flick over to RTE there's a fricking repeat of it on, ffs. Want to lose weight? Cut down on carbs, eat healthily, get off the sofa and stop watching Operation Transformation.

I really don't get the hype about that game, I'm not much of a gamer anyway but when I see people playing some game that could be written by an eight year old, on their €500 phones, I really have to wonder...

You tap the screen? I tried tapping the screen, I kept getting zero because I'm a useless gamer with the reaction time of a sloth (regularly getting my ass handed to me by my nine year old on street fighter, this is why I don't play console games either! :mad:).

Think I'm better off sticking to my crosswords

I had to watch a Youtube video to find out how to play it (because I, too, tapped the screen once, and watched as the bird fell to his death, and then wondered the hell was the point of that.)

It's sugar - very simple but very addictive. And at this stage I'm basically just playing it out of spite.

Bloody singers leading the national anthem at sports events. Just let the crowd sing it FFS.

Also when goals/tries/etc are celebrated with music over the P.A. Just let the crowd cheer FFS.

Read receipts on emails.
Hate them.
Generally think they're sent by paranoid control freaks.

People who copy managers on a mail in the hope of coercing the recipient into doing something. I f**king hate that unless the recipient has a history of not responding.

It reminds me of the kid who tells on other kids. Pathetic f**cking behaviour.

Yes, people copying the world and it's mother on an email bugs me.
That and cc'ing me on a mail, that should actually be addressed to me. I know that is trivial, but it's a courtesy thing, in my view.

Can people not have a word with their other halves about personal hygiene? We had a couple at the checkout opposite us and the stench of stale BO was indescribably awful. I don't know which of them it was but we were trying to hold our breath:eek: It was like an assault on our nasal passages.

DeanAustin · 22-02-2014 06:01PM

I know this one is necessary but it still annoys me every time. When you're on the entertainment system on a plane and what youre watching or listening to gets paused for some announcement from the flight crew.

When you're watching the rugby match, you leave the room for a few seconds to do something trivial-and you miss Ireland scoring.

This will be on the increase due to the impeding water charges.

The pressure washers will probably become dirt cheap and there'll be very few paddling pools around either I'd say.

At some stage, they'll come up with some sort of filter, like a big hair-net, only for your paddling pool, so you can cover and leave it out in the garden to catch the rain, And another 'purification tablet' to make it safe for the kinder to paddle in. Aldi or Lidl will probably have them for both for 5e.
Probably already have!

I was going to ask can you not just pause it (sky plus, etc), but then I figured you'd cry "Sacrilege! I like it LIVE!" :pac:

THANK YOU for posting this!

I have Facebook friends who have become parents recently and of course I understand they're happy and besotted, etc, and that they want to show their babies off.
FINE, I get that...let me see a picture or two.

But oh my God, are you that self-absorbed that you think all your friends are THAT interested in seeing a picture of your baby every hour?
"Here's little TJ in the bath!" (14 likes)
"Here's little TJ on his first day outside!" (20 likes)

The people "Liking" your status only feel they HAVE to.

I GET you're happy, FINE, but we do not have an interest in your child.
I am not a parent but I daresay if I ever am, I will NOT be plastering my child's face all over Facebook; for safety issues if nothing else.
I don't expect everyone to be interested.

I have defriended three friends in the past over their incessant baby-photo sharing tendencies.
Keep your baby to yourself and bore off!
You're not the only one to have kids!

Currently have friend on Facebook who is four months pregnant and is updating everyone on the movements of her unborn child.
WHO CARES?!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agree completely. I am a parent but I really do not bore the pants off people with my kids and their exploits. And I avoid people who do like the plague to be honest.

NO ONE finds your kid interesting (except you) People might 'pretend' to, just to be nice, but really new parents need to get over themselves and see that the world does not revolve around them and their scrunched up sprog

How you only realize that you have a cut when you are already slicing the lemon.

Edit: also, autocorrect being an American, realise, bitch

Getting rather tired now of advertisers 'humanising' animals to shift products and services. It's clearly working because O2 had this effort -

"Be more dog"

And now we have this effort from Three -

"Sing it Kitty"

The day I choose to buy my home or car insurance on the basis that I can collect soft cuddly meekrats with each purchase, is the day I'll give it my best lemming impression and fcuk myself off a cliff.

Completely ignore the ads, and all their catchphrases, simples

Burning toast.

Especially when it pops first time and it's nowhere near done, then you chuck it back in the toaster thinking 'right, I better keep my eye on this as next time it pops, it'll be black'...
Then you forget about it / are busy with the frying pan, and ... *pop*
'What's that burning smell? oh b*llox!!!!'

Does anyone have a toaster that toasts properly first time??

Every toaster has this setting. You just need to find the sweet spot on the dial.
