    Annoying ring tones on mobile phones. I keep hearing one lately that's like a musical whistling noise. I hate it so much and it is really really irritating. Also when people decide to go through all of the ring tones on their phone at a bus stop:mad:

    I specialise in annoying ring tones! I'm currently using the old Soviet national anthem as bellowed by the Red Army choir. Before that, it was Kraftwerks original Autobahn. :D

    I think that's the default Samsung tone. I was being driven mad in the office by that noise for ages til I figured out what it was. I was always jumping up and looking for the c*nt whistling......I use the C word there to emphasise my rage.


    Here's a doozy that annoyed me today. We were having a demo/briefing on a new system that is being introduced in our company, I really need to pay attention as I'll be making alot of decisions on it for my department.

    As usual I stroll into the room late, room is full so I kind of lean up against the door and get to looking like I'm concentrating on what is being said.
    Then, the office b*llix enters the room and stands behind me...really close. This dude, is a loud, close talker, with no real social skills apparent. I've also discovered due to his proximity right behind me, like nearly crotch (or large belly) rubbing off my rear close, that he is a loud breather. A REALLY loud breather, but, loud and REALLY creepy. I dont like this.
    Now I've been in odd situations before, like gangsters showing me thier guns as a warning to get out of their neighbourhood, but this loud creep breather has probably left me more traumatised than that.

    Parked in a shopping centre car park today, plenty of spaces. Next car to arrive parked in beside me, and guess what, baby seat in back, which means they need to open the door to full extent in order to take it out...I didn't wait for the bang to my door...I just moved to one of the many many free spaces. WTF.

    Oh and before that, had a delay of about 10 minutes at the toll, cos despite all the big signs, some people don't seem to know that you need to pay before they will raise the goddam barrier. :confused:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I'm sure there is a term for it but anyway, really annoys me when people are debating something and A says something that B doesn't like so then B makes some kind of ridiculous, inflated, over the top "deduction" to make A look stupid. Like

    A: I think oranges are the best fruit
    B: Oh really? Right so you dont mind if we just ban all the other fruits then is that what you're saying?!
    A: um...no....

    Stupid, hysterical bints gagging for the last word like fish flopping around out of water.

    See it a lot on boards, especially on the more "contentious" threads about social issues.

    A: I think abortion is wrong
    B: Ok so you'd be happy to gestate someone else's child then would you?!

    (and the other side are just as bad)

    A: I think it's unfair to force a woman to continue with a pregnancy against her will
    B: Baby killer!!! You're running around playgrounds with a machete!

    A: I think teacher salaries are generous
    B: Oh is that so, well why aren't you a fuucking teacher then?

    A: I'm not sure about my stance on organ donation
    B: Well then I assume if your head falls off you wouldn't want someone elses, would you? Would you?!!!!!!

    A: I dont really like X,Y or Z about Ireland
    B: Well why dont you emigrate then huh?!

    Chr1st alive.....It's terribly tiring :(

    Neck pain. Good grief I hate neck pain.

    I must have slept awkwardly last night or perhaps one of the children went loopers with neck chops while I was in my slumber last night.

    Driving today was fun. To look right, I had to turn my whole upper body towards the window to look out.

    F*ck you neck ache.

    clicking onto a webpage


    the buffering icon circles..............and circles..............and circles.........eventually a toolbar opens at the bottom of the page and says
    "website you wanted is not responding" and then a button to press asking if you want to "recover the webpage?"


    no I want you to carry on doing feck all forever DUH


    of course I want to recover the webpage, why would I have changed my mind??? I clicked on the original link, I then waited whilst you farted about and failed to deliver, what makes you think I am no longer interested???

    And another thing, the general amount of crying now on TV programmes.

    In the past it used to be on the very rare documentary about death or illness, now its on cookery shows, holiday shows, shows about weddings, shows about decorating.

    A girl in the office hangs up after talking to a client and mentions that she saw him in town a few days back.The another colleague says she saw him a while back too and and wasn't sure if he had a couple of young kids with him.

    Then the first one says..'No, I don't think so....he had no kids when I saw him'.

    So fuuking what! They might have been at home, with his mother, at playschool, wherefuuckinever but just because you didn't see him with kids doesn't mean he doesn't have any you omnipitent cow.

    I think they should retitle it to "organ swapping/borrowing" and if people are not sure about donation, if and when they day arrives that they need a spare kidney, they can then be told in no uncertain terms to take a hike.
