No, I'm not a member of AGS.

Those people who pay taxes to help pay your wages? As long as they are not calling you something offensive I reckon you have done ok for yourself you're a public servant not a monarch!

I love flowers but I hate daffodils, they are the most over-rated boring of flowers. There are lots of lovely plants/flowers that could be planted but fricking daffodils are awful. Years ago my mother took it upon herself to plant what must have been an industrial sized bag of daffodil bulbs in our garden while we were away. No matter how many I pull up and bin they come back every bloody year.

I donate to the daffodil day collection but I don't take the daffodil.

If you actually read my post you will see I am not a member of AGS. So there is no one paying my wages and I'm not a public servant.

Seriously, do you understand the thread? It's trivial things that annoy you? This is a trivial thing that annoys me. Or perhaps should the thread be called "trivial things that annoy you, as approved by SpaceCowboy"?

People who drive with side parking lights on!
Even if they have a new car with those daylight running lights, putting on the parking lights dims them, completely defeating the purpose of having them!

Ahh that's just for aesthetic reasons. It looks nice on some cars when combined with the fog lights. I used to do it on my Celica back in my boy racer days. Cool as fook I was. :cool:

It's annoying me that I haven't thought of something to post on this thread in ages! Now that is trivial.

It has nothing to do with respect. A guard and a Garda are two different things. That's the point I'm trying to make.

Very trivial yes, but it bugs the sh1t out if me:

People saying Euros.

It's not Euros, the plural of Euro is Euro.

Having to eat Sunday dinner at home with my parents with RTE1 on in the background showing The Voice of Ireland, and the folks won't change/won't let me change the channel on the freesat.

Plenty of choice on the yoke and they leave it on RTE1!

I hate reality tv with a passion...along with most shows on RTE.

Beginning to think I was adopted!

The washing machine getting clogged up and the drawer starts spraying water all over the kitchen floor. Had to use a mop to get out as much of the water as possible before filling it with boiling water and getting a wire coat hanger to it.

How do you feel about people who say Tescos instead of Tesco? :pac:

confuseddotcom · 09-03-2014 10:06PM

People who are just being unilaterally nosey when they didn't take part or get involved.

People who think they have a right to pass-remark on something when they didn't even participate or get involved. Pure. Flimsy. :rolleyes: And then comes the Oh I'm sorry sh1te and then they stick their oar in for a dig. Twats. Stoopid Hypocrites.

Always check pockets, coins can destroy a drum.

Books where the plot involves a woman disguising herself as a man, acting as a man and speaking like a man and somehow absolutely everyone is fooled. Never mind the massive basic appearance differences that would need to be overcome, I have never heard a woman do a good impression of a natural mans voice (or vice versa).

I could give it some slight creedence if the woman happened to be unfortunate enough to look very like a man, but they are generally previously described as beautiful fair maidens (The Merchant of Venice and Lord of the Rings are two that come to mind).

Duck Soup · 09-03-2014 11:25PM

Irish film critics who big up every Irish film, no matter how shoite it is. Doesn't help in the long run, as you begin to discount all such reviews and all the films reviewed.

Air kissing. Either hug or kiss someone on the cheek. Or shake their hand. Anything except an insincere, affected mwaah.

In Lord of the Rings she was wearing armour and a helmet that covered her face so it's plausible.

My trivial thing is that my husband has gone to bed before me, and he snores so loudly! He sounds like a drill.

And refuses to do wear snoring strips.

I *may* have to kill him.

True, but even then she had to talk so the ball would probably have been dropped there.

I think they tried to include her disguised as a man in the film but it was too unconvincing and made other characters look blind and/or stupid so they abanoned it.

No issue with coins, 10 or 20 euro notes can be found in pockets afterwards though.

In lotr she didnt have to talk either so she could have gotten away with it. I do agree about the merchant of venice.

Not being annoyed by a strike at Dublin airport .... My flight has been moved from 0640 hrs to 1315 next Friday which actually suits me much better as I won't have to get up at 4am but I still want to be annoyed with siptu for being ****heads but I just can't muster real annoyance , I might even be a lot annoyed if the strike is cancelled !:o

Only if they stay in pockets, my sister destroyed a washing once when a 50p coin smashed its way through the side of the drum.

Water everywhere!

That would be a fantastic thread, must remember that when i'm starting my next one!

I never know what to call them. I generally despise the insertion of single, other language words, (like people pronouncing Paris the French way, for example) but I'd gag before I would call then "police".

ps can we have some of your guards for our centra? I've totally had it with the racist, half-reared twats in my area hanging around the shop cause they're too young to get in anywhere else, racially abusing the staff who work there.
