    Some peoples disgusting personal habits. I saw a guy this morning with either the worst smokers cough in the world or else it was a bad chest infection. I thought it was bad enough when he was spitting phlegm on the ground, but it got worse. He blew his nose on his hand a couple of times and after each blow he flicked the snot on the ground:eek::eek:

    Player of year awards announced before season ends.
    Why not a few days AFTER the season ends?

    Man of the match awards announced before match ends.
    Why not a few minutes AFTER the match ends?

    The feeling when you unknowingly walk into a web, being afraid of spiders

    Especially when they flick, and the phlegm/snot (phlot?) does not leave the hand on the first flick, so it kinda elongates, and takes a few flick and then bounces on impact:D

    We were on hols a couple of years ago in Skiathos, and there were wasps everywhere, Mrs E was sprawled on a sunbed on the beach, and lets out an almighty roar, she was stung on the ass cheek, she is jumping and screaming, holding her ass, and for some reason, everyone is staring at me...............

    yukk..the house i rented before this one was infested with all manner of nasties...one day i was abed chatting to family on the phone when this giant spider landed on my head and ran down my face...she was 4 inches across and grossly pregnant,

    the scream i let out was heard in canada even without the phone..

    I've never been bit by a spider (thankfully) but I used to live in a house where there were huge spiders. I hated that house as they would pop up everywhere.

    When people say Sir Alex Ferguson in normal speech or informal writing/posts. I know he has the title and people are free to call him that, but I just dont like it used outside of the press, tv, BBC etc.

    Also, people who spell Laois as Leix.

    What do you use for internet connection? You can piggyback on that.

    Seeing the same wasters every day, spending their days going from the bookies to the pub to the chipper. Blowing their unearned dole money. The same fools would never have been more than a mile away from home, and refer to some English football club as "we".

    A cousin of the "RIP" on social networking sites, people who write "my condolences to the family" or "Rest in peace" in the comment section under a piece of sad news. Sorry but who exactly do you think you are that anyone is even going to see, never mind give a sh1t about what you write here. Twats.

    Facebook pages annoy me the most! You always get people commenting who don't even know the person.
