    People who drag out transactions unnecessarily. Biros and stamps and silly questions. Fuucking on and on and on. How would they cope if something real ever happened to them? Takes them an hour to fill in a form and ask twenty questions. How would they cope if they had to do real stuff?

    I think I shall call it "transactional timidity" - :P

    Clomp clomp clomp. Then they phlump down beside you and snivel their way along the quays, stinking us all out of it with their staphilococcous lentil smell.

    My son saw a sign on the Luas with a picture of a frog on it.
    He said, 'does that mean no frogs allowed?'.

    Everyone laughed, one woman just shot him a look like he was thick :(

    It's what a mumbler sounds like when saying Grab My Arm.

    What annoys me is people not getting Napolean Dynamite quotes.

    We have a word for that: "common".

    and people that cough just to make noise. you know it's not a real cough it sounds like it hurts to force it, they just want to remind you that they are there. dopes.

    Used to live with a bitch who coughed incessantly. Seriously. ALL the time. I remember I was a bit on edge as I was doing my final exams and this one took the biscuit with the coughing. She'd wake up coughing at like 6am and would still be coughing when I'd be showering at 7.30am. I couldn't sleep because of it.

    It was an annoying cough too - it was like when you have a tickle and you need to cough loads but you're in a kind of silent setting so you just do a couple of coughs instead of a big loud one. So she'd be doing the little ones. Say 4 coughs and then a 30 second break and then 4 more and 30 seconds and 4 more etc etc FOR HOURS.

    I nearly cried the day I finished exams. I went home to nap, as I was exhausted from the study shifts I'd been putting in and the early alarm clock of coughing. Looking forward to a lovely sleep, your one was at work. Just nodding off - in she comes. Must have been on lunch or something. A whole hour of coughing. I put earphones in (and music on) and could still hear the fúcking coughing. I think I did cry actually.

    Used to be giving out about it to my boyfriend who lived with us too but was away loads due to work. Finally, one Saturday morning they were both in the house and she kicks off early morning, and is still coughing at like 11 or 12, and he was fit to explode. Was delighted he finally experienced it, coz he thought I was crazy due to stress.

    Never wanted to tell her to shut up because I'm a coward and she seemed like the type who'd hit ya a belt if you said boo to her... Strange girl. Hate her.

    i had a roommate that never washed his hair. he liked baths, he would be in the loo for hours but his hair was so greasy all the time that it put me off my dinner when he was there.

    Music from the likes of Thin Lizzy (showing my age now) being used for ads, Brennans bread (muck anyway) and
    Fleetwood Mac more recently for house insurance or some such ****e......blasphemy!!

    Did I post this before ? showing my age again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,229 ✭✭✭Sadderday


    I hate the way when your skint and thinking about how to stretch out your cash that them 'we'll give a loan now' ads show in the background. It's like they are watching you, trying to reel you in.

    I don't suppose you know where they got that track that plays in the background on their advert - "I'll take you back, back to the day, where we lived our lives for each other...", something like that?

    I'm on a roll now finally getting used to the keyboard layout on this phone (I've had to become a two thumb typist), but another thing that annoys me - when someone asks you sing a song you ask them about, and then breaks their hole laughing! :mad:

    Also - missing a belt loop on the back of your trousers, and it's like the belt loop inspectors are our in force - "Yeah I know I missed it thanks, I just haven't had time to fix it yet when it takes me nearly half an hour to type a post on this god damn phone! :(

    Do you mean Lizzy's Running Back from the Brennan's bread ad?

    Well, Artist if you have it, and title track, google and youtube are proving useless!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    Not trivial but I need a rant. People who turn a blind eye to scumbaggery. I was shopping earlier and saw 2 teenage pieces of filth taking advantage of an old chronic alcholic. The old chap is 74 and is a familliar sight around the town. Anyway, he was sitting out the back of a bookies with his cans and roll ups and these little fcukers were taking his stuff.

    I stopped and glared at them hoping they'd p*ss off, instead I got a mouthful of abuse, so I rang the guards, I was worried they'd steal whatever cash he had on him. It really winds me up when I think of the amount of people who just walked by and ignored it. The old guy was robbed before.

    Scumbags like those 2 have no place in society, they're a waste of good oxygen. If I'd my way scumbags like that and the ones who use animals as bait would be put up against a wall and shot:mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Running back - Thin Lizzy - Brennans

    The title of the song from that ad for insurance eludes me right now, but it's Fleetwood Mac - Rumours album

    We have a word for that: "common".

    What about Tom Jones singing "It's Not Unusual"?

    It bothers me when people misspell my name when it's spelled correctly in front of their eyes. Like I send them an email which will include my name in the title and the signature and they spell it incorrectly anyway. My real name is very common, but can be spelled two different but equally common ways, so I can understand someone picking the incorrect spelling, but not when it's there in front of their eyes, damn it!
