    I have taken to bellowing "EXCUSE ME!" in the faces of people trying to squeeze on to the dart before letting people off. I know this is straight out of the arsenal of a cantankerous old prick but I dont care.

    On one extremely busy morning (I honestly don't know what was going on) the luas was absolute jammers. As we stopped on Abbey Street the door opened. There was a wall of people at the door to get on and nowhere for us to go. One man actually shouted at the herd to move so we can get off. I know some people are slower in the mornings but seriously!?:confused:

    Yep. I wasn't sure whether I felt more sorry for the buggy, the child or myself to witness that :pac:

    Quite a few w*nkers on my commute by Luas today but special mention to the lady beside me who applied a full face of makeup during the journey, making me want to puke as she pulled manky crusted looking brushes from her manky crusty looking makeup bag to apply it and then used her manky looking fingers to make sure she got the makeup into the creases the brushes couldn't reach. And then if that wasn't enough she pulled out a battery operated hair straightners and started to straighten her manky looking hair.

    This.
    I hate the overusing of a word.So annoying.

    I came across a wedding thing on another thread ( I know, I know) about where, in order to be a part of the "special" day, you can make a donation to the honeymoon fund......

    Not too bad if this what is expected for a wedding present, but I think it may be in addition to the present.

    I think it was also being offered as a privilege to those who 'didn't make the cut', i.e, not invited, they could still share in the magical day by giving to the honeymoon fund.

    Aww, makes me all teary (with rage), or it would, if I had the misfortune to know the pair getting married..

    Are they still saying "from Ireland's greatest writer"? I'd say there are a few other Irish writers rolling in their graves.

    Idiots. Today's winner of the Pumpkinseed award for sheer fcukwittery is the mammy on the mobile with the pushchair that blocked the aisle in Lidl. You know who you are biatch. The poor Lidl worker was trying to haul a massive load of stock out on one of those wheeled carts and I was trying to get up that aisle.

    I stepped back out of the chaps way, as you do when you have even the most basic of manners, ney, common courtesy. Did she, did she fcuk. She plonked the pram at an angle blocking him in against the wall while she switched her moblie from the mp3 function to the phone function. I know this as it was part of the conversation she was having while blocking the aisle. I could have gone nuts but instead I settled for sneering and saying 'ah for fcuks sake' and glaring at her, not that she took a blind bit of notice, fricking cow:mad:

    The (seemingly plentiful) number of people who seem to think that the traffic lights near my house are optional. Seriously, at least every other day I witness people jumping reds. I walk my kids to school along that route every day and they are becoming quite accustomed to dad shouting at cars and standing in the middle of the road giving the wanker sign to someone who's just nearly run us over!

    Whenever I start thinking about where the **** we all came from, evolution and the universe, my head starts to hurt reeeal bad.

    I wish someone would just figure it out.

    I make it my personal mission to go specifically to the seat that some wench has her oversized makeup bag on while applying some awful brown powder in the other, make her lift it and plonk myself beside her.

    Girls, do your warpaint at home mmmk?

    Jesus, I hate online shopping. I bought a feather duvet from Amazon and sent it to the Parcel motel as they don't ship to Ireland. I expected it to take longer as it was going to the North before coming to Clare. Almost forgot about so I emailed the seller. Just got an email asking me to phone Uk as my order is On Hold, no it fcuking isn't they took the fricking payment weeks ago. They can fricking deal with this by email, I can see myself having to cancel the order tomorrow.

    Tbh, it would be less stressful if it was bikes, but this is idiots in cars and vans ploughing through red lights. Nearly as annoying as them doing it in the first place, is the fact that they nearly always have this "whoops, sorry" look on their face as they drive by.....like that'll make a difference when you end up killing someone.

    coming home from work and a lad on a bike broke a red light on a very busy road then got annoyed when a bus was in his way (The bus had stopped to pick up passengers) cos he couldnt go around it..

    His attitude pissed me off...what is it with some Cyclists and their wreckless behaviour on the road.

    My brain, in overdrive, quickly read (/assumed) that you bought a feather duster from Amazon! I was thinking to myself, "For real? A feather duster on Amazon?!" :-)

    I seen a lad on a bike doing an RLG (Red Light Jump) coming out of the Phoenix Park today, massive big head phones sat atop his head and oblivious to the cement mixer that nearly ran him over.

    I know it's a minority of cyclists, but that's like saying a minority of people are murderers. Definitely don't tar them all with the same brush, but just because it's a minority doesn't mean it's acceptable. It's dangerous as **** and not just for the cyclist themselves but for the rest of us. I don't care if you're absolutely certain it's safe to keep cycling in spite of the red light, unless it's 4am and there is literally nothing else on the roads just don't ****ing do it.

    My visually impaired sister in law has an awful time with them at pedestrian crossings in Dublin City.
    The ones that zig zag through throngs of people crossing at a green man are the worst.

    Cyclists who use pedestrian crossings.. every time I see them I'm willing to take a bit of a hit just to get them slapped off the bike.

    Rory McIlroy's hybrid American Norn Iron accent.
    Also, he is not Irish lads, he's British.

    Chris O'Dowd's is even worse. Really cringe-worthy listening to speak. Was he raised in the States or something?
