Having to remove the that little piece of silver cover when opening creams (e.g. deep heat, toothpaste etc)

That's the thing, it's so shíte it approaches high art. It's like a couple of youngfellas with phone cameras messing about and making a small bloody fortune in the process! :pac::pac::pac:

People who block the footpath. The same guy has done it 2 days in a row. He's an aul fella, a dub who's lived in the town for decades and a real holy Joe who carries rosary beads, lives at the church and goes on the pilgrimages and likes to be seen as better than the rest of us, when in actual fact he's a prick.

He stepped dead in the centre of the path on Monday reading a text message, so I'd have to walk on the grass in my sandals. I really wanted to have a go but settled for the old passive aggressive 'Jesus Christ' comment as I squeezed by him.

Yesterday he'd done it in the same spot, yakking away to some aul wan, while another aul wan tried to squeeze past him with her little trolley. What an absolute cnut.

Just on this, and with regard to my previous post on the subject:

THIS IS THE WORST THING IN THE WORLD!

Actually, it's joint worst with both:
People who do this in pairs and then stop dead out of nowhere in the middle of the street to talk about where they're going to walk next. Why are you walking at all if you don't know where you're going and pull over to the side if you need to stop for a chat!

People who walk two or three abreast, taking up the whole of the footpath, towards you, making no effort to move into single file to let you pass. What, you think I'm going to step out into the f*cking traffic, is it? WRONG.

I'm 6'1", not a giant, but still bigger than most people. I'm seriously tempted to just stop paying attention to these kinds of people and barrel right through them so they can go sprawling and have a little time to think about what they've done as they stare up at the sky.

It finally happened yesterday, albeit by accident. I was walking home from work, at quite a pace as usual. There was a couple of people walking in front of me, but they were moving quickly enough for a change so I didn't need to make evasive maneuvers.

All of a sudden they stopped dead in front of me to talk to someone who was passing in the opposite direction (blocking the entire footpath in the process). I didn't notice though, because I had briefly glanced at something across the street, so I plowed directly into the girl who had seconds ago been walking ahead of me.

She was bulldozed out of the way, but apart from a fright seemed otherwise unharmed. I didn't feel a tiny bit guilty and, despite not having deliberately walked into her, was sort of glad about it. Seriously, this is a really busy footpath in rush hour, not your driveway.

Sounds like she deserved it!

I hate people who stop suddenly. Should have giant brakelights stapled to their fat asses. Also hate the ones who dont look where they are going as they turn to walk towards you. B1nts. Then there are the ones who look at you funny when you walk behind them as if you're stalking them. Er..dont think so love, even perverts have standards. Just get out of my fúcking way!

I was walking back from the local shop one evening and four boys, 11/12 age group , on bikes, were blocking the path. They made no attempt to move, until I said excuse me, and they then reluctantly moved the bikes slightly. A couple of minutes later, they came by on the bikes, screaming and screeching deliberately at me.
I seldom use bad language, but let's just say they didn't expect the response they got.

Brats!

OldNotWIse · 30-07-2014 11:58AM

That I have been constantly er "gently" reminding the brats in our apartment complex that screaming/swinging from trees/kciking balls against cars etc is not ok per the complex rules, and complaining to management and to no avail....

...and the week I move out the management company informs me they are introducing a penalty system for tenants whose kids break the rules. I hope they at least name the fines in my honour!

Sigh....

You will always get the above, chunts that would not move or apolgise to save their lives, but did you ever meet the over apologetic types, you know, in a fifty/fifty, where a smile or a nod would suffice, you get to listen to " OH, please do excuse me, my fault, no after you please"

Get a grip, its not as if you were trying to run me down with a Massey Ferguson FFS

dub_skav · 30-07-2014 12:13PM

On the footpath type scenario, it took me many years, but I finally managed to silence my very Irish unnecessary apologist. You know the apologist, somebody does something stupid and apologises and you feel compelled to also apologise, or to say - oh no problem.

You all know the situation - you're getting out of a lift and somebody was barging in, they then realise there is somebody getting out and move slightly to the side and say sorry?
Well, now I just stare straight ahead, say nothing and keep walking. They are generally stupefied, even commenting in hushed tones to their friends how rude I was.

You were the one barging in, you rightly apologised, there is no need for me to say anything - it is in fact quite liberating.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 30-07-2014 12:19PM

When people change bed sheets and don't match them up. I should be grateful that they're clean, but I like to have them matching and it makes me so mad when they're not. How hard is it? In fairness. It's not like I'm asking for the popes virginity.

Ill bet! A bit off topic but I went out drinking on Monday, so we were all sitting around the bar and these aul lads, you know the type who would be drunk at 2pm on a Monday afternoon? Hovering around all the young ones.

He said to one of the young ones "are you still a virgin?" She replies "I'm not, but I still have the box it came in".

Meh when I type it out it isn't funny anymore but at the time I laughed so much the cider I had in my mouth got into my nose

How is you? That makes no sense.

People sending me private messages on Boards which don't explain what they're talking about yet are accusing me of something.

Fine, we'll do it in-thread.

You and your buttercups can go **** yourselves. You think you can cream cracker your way up the fuzzy drainpipe and laugh at the rest of us?
DO YOU?

Well I'm not going to take your jigsaw puzzles anymore.

From now on, we do things my way - the feta cheese way.

You have been warned,

I like the premise of your post but it reminds me far too much of the Rowntrees Randoms ad with the pr1ck parping on about "monkey socks" - which is immensely annoying

Ladies toilets.. oh dear lord, why can't women just sit instead of squatting? There wouldn't be pee all over the place if you just sit your arse down. Just put tissue on the toilet seat beforehand if you are that concerned.

Are you asking that Hovercrafts become Nestbuilders?? I should remind you that bloody wars have been fought over considerably less! :eek:

Or better still, carry a pack of Dettol wipes with you!
Ladies loos are always vile; especially at the weekend in busy pubs. Hate using them.

Great idea! Or those disposable seat covers! I'd rather use the mens!

Simple. You're a nest-builder. Those women you complain about holding a "parking orbit" above the bowl and spraying it with piss like a Bell Huey dropping Agent Orange over Vietnam are Hovercraft.

In O'Hare airport in Chicago they actually have electronic seat covers, a sensor notices you coming in and hey presto a fresh seat cover appears on the loo.
