Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

21-07-2014 12:17AM

Whenever I cook my housemate decides to join me in the kitchen and cook at the same time so that we're tripping over each other, he ends up using some equipment I need at that time also. I then have to wash up for him, use it for myself then wash up again!

When I take a shower and my housemate uses the bathroom straight afterwards so that I can't go back and get my hair gel.

I was out in my garden during the week, there's a graveyard beside us. A few of the girls on the road were climbing the trees and shouting over the wall at the mourners.

'HEEEYYY! OH LOOK IT SAYS GRANDAD IN THE FLOWERS. HELLOOOOOOO.'

Then they started singing the song from Frozen.

'LET IT GOOOOO, LET IT GOOOOOOO!!!!'

I ended up giving them some chalk and telling them they can draw on the driveway. I said it to the mother and she said 'ah sure they're just kids, playing on their own road'. No they aren't just playing, they're shouting at a group of people burying a loved one ffs. Really bugged me :mad:

That's not a trivial thing. That's a bunch of kids that need a slap!

Saw this ad earlier today...awful stuff. And of course Toto is pronounced "Toe-dough" :rolleyes:

Almost as bad as those bloody "go conquer" phone ads, full of pointless Americanisms.

I hate the ad for 3 (I think it is anyway) where Mr Hip Twentysomething is walking along some dank looking alley ****eing on about all the great stuff you can do with their data plan in this sort of bizarre Americanised Irish accent.

He lists of a load of social media guff and then mentions fantasy sports and they do this CG thing with players running past him and he pretends to pick individual players by pointing and saying "you, you and you. NNNNAAAAAAHHHHHAAAAATTTT YOU!"

Makes me furious every single time.

Feeling hungover and then eventually getting sick and thinking "great, at least now I can stay at home and not feel guilty about missing work" because I'm actually sick...and then realising that this has, in fact, made me feel better so I start to feel guilty again about calling in. So I soldier in, delighted I wont be breaking my 7 year record....and then start to feel sh1t again

And then f*cks the butt onto the ground. Littering pr*cks

People on FaceBook who:

- ask you to vote for their friends child in the cutest baby award. Firstly, it means you are not actually voting for the cutest. Secondly, who gives a f*ck.

- write long rambling notes to their children on their birthdays, but the kids are too young to read yet alone set up an email address which is required to set up the FB account to actually read the thing. So you are essentially writing a note to your friends to let them know its your kids birthday. Pr*cks.

- write long rambling heartfelt notes to a dead person. They are not going to be able to f*cking read it.

- those people that write the one liner status like 'I can't believe this has happened to me', 'worst day of my life', 'unbelievable'.......stop fishing to give your 'friends' a reason to write to you.

- people who check in everywhere they eat. I don't care.

The whole living vicariously via social networking is irritating at best, and creepy at worst. People documenting their entire lives and panicking if they can't inform their 600 "friends" immediately about their pulled pork salad or their progeny's latest word. Far from fuucking pulled pork most of us were reared...and we dont care about your baby's "achievements" - they are normal developmental stages. We were all babies at some point and every second person has one. Over it.

Just make sure you get everything else on your list ticked off first :P

edit: I'll go with you, just in case. Can't be too careful! Also have to show you the landmarks such as the "Bono is a póx" graffiti

The suffix '-gate' being used for anything remotely controversial

e.g. Garth-gate, Bite-gate (Suarez at World Cup), Tweet-gate (RTE Frontline presidential debate)

It stopped being witty 40 years ago.

No idea why this annoys me, but people in convertible cars on nice days (like today) with the roof up. What's the point in having it?

Fear of being stuck on the motorway when the heavens decide to lash down and the roof is down

Love to see that Bono graffiti.

Driving thru certain part of Dublin a few years ago, and saw one that said
"Micka Foley does the sunbeds":D

I saw 2 today, both with the roof up and not on the motorway. Forecast is dry all day too.
The convertible police should be on patrol and confiscate these cars, they're wasted on some people. One guy in a honda s2000 I see about twice a week and I've never saw his roof down

We could all go. It would be a lovely day out: the trivially annoyed vs the genetic cesspit of skángers. No buses for us bad asses :P
