People who give grief to everyone and suddenly become overly defensive when someone give them grief back.

When your smoking a rollie and you go to remove it with your fingers but they slide off and the rollie stays in yer mouth simultaneously burning the ****ing fingers off ya.

Annoying individuals who are really predictable in everything they do and say.

People who state the obvious and you can see the sense of enlightment glisten over their face despite breaking new ground solely in the obvious department.

Usage of the words:Actually,Literally,Pretentious,Overrated and Like. These terms have been overused to death so shut the **** up saying them.

The fact that swearing is censored here.****,****,**** and no doubt ************.

Phrases like ''24/7'' and ''Touch base'' Truly cring-worthy.

People from D4 with the fake american accent,stupid wig-like hair,sense of entitlement and that say things like 'Roish' and call everything nearby with a tracksuit a 'Scombaig'.You could throw a pair of tracksuit bottoms on a dog and they'd call it a scombaig.

People who call tracksuit bottoms trackies.
Materialism and Hedonism.

Myself for being annoyed at practically everything.Room is here for about a billion more things but that can wait.

Agree a billion times over. I find the word "amazing" has become almost redundant such is it's overuse. Every youtube video of a kid or a stereotypically unattractive person singing on a tv talent show is titled as "amazing" when in reality it's much the same as every other one. If they were truly amazing they wouldn't have to resort to entering a tv show to get spotted. And I have also seen it used whenever BOD those a rudimentary tackle or pass in a rugby game these days.

Foodie.
I absolutely loathe the word. I like to enjoy the simple pleasures of life, food being one of them. Sometimes it's just a "fuel" to get me going but most of the time it is something I really enjoy. I like cooking and baking and eating, I like to try different things, it doesn't make me (or you) special so you can shove your 'foodie' up where the sun doesn't shine you twat :mad:

This gets up my left nostril as well. "Foodie" indeed. Shove your turnip head back into your trough of baked-beans-and-chips and let the adults enjoy our meal. I'll give you a slap of a rolled-up menu afterwards, if you're lucky!

I understand that there is someone who is a "foodie". As in, someone with a particular interest in the culinary arts, chef or not. If a gun was put to my head I would call myself a "foodie". But what irks me is the word itself and when people go on about how they are "foodies"

Remember this one episode of Come Dine With Me where this gombeen was going on about how he was a foodie yet he didnt know what a fig was and had never eaten a prawn in his life! Get ta fúck

Women blaming certain behaviours on a man having a small penis.

Oh he bought a brand new car? Must have a small penis.

He cut in front of you in the shop? Must have a small penis.
Other women seem to think its the funniest thing they've ever heard!
Imagine a man saying 'she bought a new car?, must have small tits'

Only realised how much it annoys me!

I think some folk erroneously use the term "foodie" when they really mean something more like "fattie"! :pac::pac::pac:

Edit: though I still firmly believe the theory stands when it comes to under twenties sporting grey tracksuits and akitas or staffies :P (the irony of course, is that staffies are big babies really)

People who say things like, "she's really jolly" or "she's a lovley warm person" or "she's got a lovely face" - when what they really mean to say is, "She's fat. She eats too much".

My friend always reminds me of the time she was moaning about being single, and I said 'but you have such a great personailty'

I didn't mean it as an insult, she's just so funny and one of those people that can brighten any room! She couldn't stop laughing

I felt terrible, she's stunning anyway!

That was my point. I haven't tried all the foods in the world but I'd have some knowledge and an interest, I like reading recipes and I'd try nearly anything unless I feel queezy just looking at it but you wouldn't hear me saying foodie unless my life was depending on it. It's bad enough that some of my friends use it. I can't really beat the sh1t out of them with a menu, they are my friends...:pac:

This is the reason I've given up TV shows similar to this ages ago. I don't have the patience for it.

Britain's Got Talent and The X Factor have this annoying habit of editing footage so it looks like something it's not.

Example: On BGT, there'll be a girl on stage saying "Hello".
If she'd odd looking or 90 or wearing little or nothing, the camera will pan to the four judges who'll have blank expressions.
The audience will be silent and after about a minute of the judges exchanging glances, they'll say "Hi who are you?"

In reality, those pauses and silence didn't happen-they just edited it to make it look that way.
It's hard to explain..just watch it on Saturday and see the editing going on, I can't believe I must be the only one who notices it.

I also hate how the audience give certain people a standing ovation when in reality,they'd NEVER buy that persons' CD or go see them in concert; they're just looking at everyone else and saying "If I stand up I'll look cool."

I also hate the average floppy haired teenagers warbling playing guitars, they sound the same as everyone else.

That violinist the other night, Lettice..she was good but the audience's reaction was a bit OTT.

Czarcasm · 23-04-2014 11:58AM

Paintballing, they should just call it "pain". I'm still not right a day later, stiff and sore as hell, and as for that pack of **** that kept ignoring the "not in the face" rule, I hope they're even more sore! :mad:

Totally agree, I do not get the appeal of it at all

Ihatecuddles · 23-04-2014 12:09PM

My sister came in to me and said 'now don't take this the wrong way, I got it free and I don't need it'

And then hands me cream for reducing stretch marks!!!!

I hate the way the shows are basically totally dumbed down to appeal to the masses - ever see the faux surprise on the judge's faces when something "surprising" happens?? Ridiculous. How anyone falls for that stupid claptrap baffles me.

I've done it years ago and no thanks! Half way through the game they teamed us up against a group of middle aged Germans and they kept shooting us even when we were 'dead', bastards :mad:

Edit: Also, I bruised like a peach, the state of my body after that afternoon! Double bastards...:pac:

The 'maybe it's just me' people...I used to work with someone who used that phrase constantly, to try and prove how superior she (thought she) was to the rest of us.
Can't think of any really good examples, which is annoying me

.
I remember being in a course with her once, and we all got take away coffees in the coffee shop nearby. 'I thought the place was very untidy, but maybe that's just me'.
It wasn't...

Oh I thought of another annoyance 'I'm a bit of a Monica'...( Friends character, who was obsessive about cleaning etc).

And finally, I dislike when people describe themselves as 'a bit OCD'. I think that is like someone describing themselves as being 'a bit pregnant' when they are clearly not.

I'm hardly falling out with her over it?

It did annoy me though. I should say I got free immac if she wants to get rid of her ronnie.

Or you could ask her for that cross trainer she bought, seeing as she never uses it:D

Yes! FFS, lose the crap excuses, stick to your guns and have the balls to stand by what you say or believe!

"I am not a racist, but..."

"Its not really my place to say it, but.."

and the classic

"Its really none of my business, but..."

Did you stretch before to warm-up and after to warm down? That normally bypasses the 'stiffness' (giggidy)

Oh yes, had an ex-colleague who used to say that. 'Don't take this the wrong way'..then he would proceed to cut the ground from under someone. But it was all okay because he said that, or so he thought.

Paintballing is great craic, you just have to up your game a bit when dealing with over-competitive arseholes. Me and my mates all have Airsoft M-4 carbines with selective fire, and we have two guys on the machine-gun - an Airsoft M-60, to keep their heads down!

She's not fat, she's a real woman with curves

I was in the audience for a recording of the X-Factor in Dublin the year Niall Horan auditioned. What actually happens in real life is very different to what makes it to TV. We were told at the beginning not to make any noise when someone is talking to the judges. Depending on how the producers want to portray a contestant, they edit in the audience's reaction afterwards.

Paddy Cow · 23-04-2014 02:09PM

Niall Boylan is on Classic Hits 4fm way too much. Sometimes I enjoy his show but twice a day, five days a week is over kill. He'll become the new Joe Duffy.
