    And for a horrendously trivial annoyance - Requesting to add a friend on Facebook and the request being left untouched even though I can see from my friends' posts that the person has been online. By the way I'm not one of those who adds people after a five-minute pub chat to boost my friends list

    Well known DUblin animal charity who received over 200k in government funding this year while other smaller, privately run charities with no kill policies who aren't such media whores got 5k.

    And then the well known charity emails me asking me to run in the marathon for them because they "spend 2 million a year euthanasing rescuing animals and only receive 5% govt funding" - isn't 5% of 2000000 = €100,000?

    People who chew with their mouths open, dear God, it bugs the Hell out of me and seems really common with chewing gum. Is it really that difficult to teach a child a basic social nicety as to chew with ones mouth shut ffs:confused: I don't want to see the contents of another adults mouth. It should be a hanging offence to do it.

    The fact that if I even suggest that O'Driscoll may not be Ireland's greatest sportstar of all-time (definitely top 5 imo) to some of my friends, that I'm looked at like I have two heads. They're not even willing to engage in logical debate on the matter and it seems to be you either accept that he IS numero uno or you should be medically examined.

    In the aftermath of the match on Saturday, I said that he only got MOTM award for sentimental reasons, and not even the usual sensible fans agreed with me. I also made the point that when Tyrone won the All-Ireland in 2005, Peter Canavan scored the winning goal in his last ever appearance for the county, but their was no clamour to award him the man of the match because it was his last appearance for the county (and scoring the winning goal in the AI final is as big a deal as winning away in Paris).

    So TL;DR, my annoyance of the BOD fanfare hasn't lessened at all.

    Oh sport. Why does something I love so much get me so wound up, so often.

    A: "Do you have a bf/gf?"
    B: "No."
    A: "Why not?"
    B: :confused:

    I could never understand the need of the follow up question.

    Oh and people in a bad mood, who have the need to take it on somebody else. Especially strangers. You see that in coffee shops a lot for some reason.
    Ok I get it you're having an awful time, we all have bad days sometimes but there is no need whatsoever to be so nasty and hurtful to others, if you've got nothing nice say then shut it.

    Depends who's asking really.
    It may be an obvious chat up line!
    'Why Not?' - as in, 'you're clearly God's gift to woman / man, so why the hell not? Heck, can I be your gf/bf?'

    could also be a subtle check to see if you have teh ghey

    I somehow fail to see you as a person that could be so mean to strangers to the point of making them cry/upset them for the rest of the day.

    *not that upsetting your loved ones is excusable

    I dated one of those 'lizard people have infiltrated upper levels of society for the Illuminati' types.

    She was 100% convinced I was a psychic. :/

    Long nails on fellas hands.

    people who's false teeth move up and down when they're talking. You know what I mean, they kinda drop away from the roof of the mouth.

    People who play with their false teeth.
