When people who park illegally complain about other people parking illegally.

Saddens and sickens me to be honest. These are 3 little guys, clueless about road safety. Yet, if the worst happened, I've no doubt the parents would magically appear, (not a sign today), and shout and scream all over social media about careless drivers.

Yeah, these kids would have been aged 3 and 4, a shocking age to leave kids unsupervised. Then again they're doing with their kids what their parents did with them and those kids will do with their own kids. Highly likely that given the sort of scum that the parents and their entire extended family are, that they are known to social services too.

It used to sicken me listening to the father call the 4 year old a bastard, cnut, fcuker, etc you get the picture. Poor kids have no chance in life.

I was at the front of the mob waiting to board the Luas yesterday evening, trying not to be that person who barges on before the passengers get off and some moron behind me is using the folder in his hand to try to push me on.

I turned and asked him politely to please not push me and then I gave a glare or two once he had sat down! Then we got off at the same station and walked the same way home, and he appears to live in the same estate as me. Great! I bet I'm going to see him now every single day for the rest of my life!

The only consolation is that he tried to cut in in front of me when we were getting on and head towards a particular seat and I managed to cut him off and get to it first. 1 - 0 to me

This is a big gripe of mine. There's a real problem with it locally. 1 thing that really annoys me is the number of parents who complain on Facebook about anti-social behaviour in the playground but who park in the cycle lane outside the playground, despite there being 2 car parks about a 2 minute walk away. These would be the same parents who also complain that it isn't safe for their kids to cycle to school because of people parking in the cycle lanes.

Listening to a lady in work talk about her toddler child and how he constantly pinches her old dog and goes up into his face and the dog hates it and snarls and how difficult it is to manage and there are times when she wishes the dog was dead, especially when he is barking his head off in the garden when she locks him out because he has snarled at the kid. And that as the dog looks like a teddy bear how could you not expect the child to want to grab him.

At one stage we had four dogs and three kids under 4 and I had it drilled into my kids from day one that they don't go anywhere near the dogs, and we all live in harmony and my dogs are never ever bothered by the kids. It's not that hard and I loathe lazy people who won't set the boundaries early on and teach their kids how to inteact properly with theirs, and other people's dogs.

I'm raging and sad after listening to her. Poor dog

Ghost Buster · 04-09-2014 09:40AM

Reminded of this by the post above.
People who treat their dogs like little children/humans.
Let me start by pointing out that I love dogs. Apart from my student days in flat land i have always had a family dog or three. I grew up on a farm which always had cattle/sheep dogs and terriers to keeps rats at bay. I have two at the moment but they are dogs, not 'my babies'. I dont dress them, they get covered in mud and ****e but only get a bath if absolutely mankey. They dont sleep indoors because they have warm kennels on insulation inside a barn and they sleep together for extra warmth. They eat dog food. In short they are dogs not my ickle wickle teeny snookums!!!
Arrrgh. that ****e does my head in.

Major bus annoyance yesterday. A new one too, which is weird as I thought I'd covered all possibilities at this stage. Blood boiling again just thinking about it.

I'm sitting downstairs, on the outside seat (what's left of it after the middle aged, oversized bint in Ecco shoes and a ballet lenght skirt and anorack (puke) on the inside spreads herself across 28% of it) and my stop is coming up next. This stop is after a junction where the bus must turn with a filter arrow. Translation: no need to get fúcking excited when you see the stop, you can remain seated until turning commences because if you stand now, you'll be left standing with one flight stockinged stump as long as the other. So, the stop comes into view. No sign of filter arrow. I remain seated. Over-zealous ape beside me starts shuffling her bags and áss to get up so I think feck it, now I have to stand up to let her past and there will be no point sitting down again. Oh well.

So I stand up....

...and the moron takes my seat, the outide one and keeps her fat áss sitting until the arrow shows!

It was a trick, a god-damned evil trick to get me to stand so that she could have the outside seat and therefore not worry about missing her stop but also remain sitting until absolutely necessary to move. I could not belive some bus going bag lady could actually get one over one me like that.

Weird shame/anger mix.....

If I ever see her again I'll elbow her into the aisle, take control of the vehicle and drive around in circles so she rolls around the place in her silly leather sandals and flight socks.

This story reminds me of the one of the kings of all my daily LUAS gripes.

You see, the LUAS is packed in the morning. Sardine can packed. There is no empty space, nowhere to move to, often not even enough room to reach for your phone in your pocket, nor to hold it in a position that you could see the screen even if you managed it. It's pretty packed.

I'm also reasonably tall at 6'1, so the separation required between my feet in order to remain balanced on a moving vehicle as it accelerates, brakes and rocks from side to side, is greater than that afforded to me in this cramped space. Fine, that just means I need to hold on to something.

But then you get these people - oh these people! As soon as the LUAS leaves the stop prior to the one they need to get off at, literally as it is still accelerating away from the platform, they're moving. Shuffling, pushing, squeezing past people to get to the door.

It's as though they think that, despite having already traveled through at least one stop and seen that this is not the case, the tram is going to stop for less than 8 seconds, that the doors are going to swish open and then closed again in one swift, unbroken movement, that they will have but one heartbeat during which to dive to their freedom.

No, what happens is the tram stops. For quite a while. Those of us who intend to remain on the tram for a few more stops will kindly step off and allow you to disembark, before returning to our positions. It will be okay, you will have plenty of time.

So stop pushing up behind me, trying to pass through me as though I am a mere ethereal vision, asking me to excuse you. There are a full 3 minutes before we get to your stop. You have nowhere to go - I have nowhere to go - and I can't let go of this f*cking rail or I'll undoubtedly tumble into the fleshy mass of people smaller than me that surrounds us. Chill. The. F*ck. Out.

OldNotWIse · 04-09-2014 10:32AM

Another LUAS annoyance. When you are blocking someone from exiting because you are holding onto the last remaining piece of bar you can find, but you have every intention (and there is enough time) to remove your arm from the bar when the tram stops so that they can pass you and exit but no. The fúckers dont trust you. They think you want to hold them captive or something. So they start pressuring you into moving before the tram has stopped. No no no! I'm not going to let go of this bar until we have stopped moving. Why would you loosen your grip at the worst possible time when the driver has hit the breaks. I see you. I will move when I can and not before. Relax.

Drives me nucken futs as well. Both dogs and children should be running around fields, tearing through streams and falling off ditches, for largely the same reasons.

There's a girl in our office and she repeats everything you say. I constantly feel like decking her. :mad:

but I can't because I'm a heifer and she's a stick.

I'd probably break her.....

My Boss.

Gave him report that I have prepared for a Client last Thursday to sign off on. Ask him twice during the week has he had a chance to look at it, because Client is phoning me wondering where it is.
He calls me today and tells me to just send it out.
1 fcuking week later!
I bet he hasn't evened opened it.
I then need to send to Client with grovelling apology regarding the delay in getting it to him.

Then yesterday he asks me to review some documents for him.
'No problem' I say.
It needs to be done by close of business tomorrow' he says.
OK, just send them on to me' I say, because you know, I'm a really helpful [EMAIL="b@stard"]b@stard[/EMAIL] like that.
24 hours later and the fecker still hasn't sent them to me, and he'll still want them reviewed by tomorrow.
Cock!

There's a wan here in work. Anyhow, you know where someone that has a name that ends in Y or IE, if they're called e.g.

Person: Barry?

Barry: Yes-ie?

Well, this ones name doesn't end in an IE or a Y. Lets say her name is Sharon

Person: Sharon?

Sharon: Yes-ie?

every single time. Wrecks my bristols

Other People's Kids.

The spoilt, over-indulged, bratty, loud, obnoxious, messy, greedy, disobedient little fcukers that I'm supposed to smile indulgently at as opposed to giving them the kick in the arse/scissor kick to the head that their behaviour so richly deserves.

There's a parrot in our office too. I hate her.
I'll ring, in a rush, passing on a message or asking her to ring someone or something like that.
"Hi X, would you ring Y and tell them that I'm faxing that now?" or something to that effect and this is what I get in return
"Okay so that's... hang on I've to get my pen... Oh wait, that's my red pen, I need my blue pen... Okay I have my blue pen... Okay... ring Y... and tell them... tell them what?"
"Tell them I'm faxing that now"
"Okay so that's... ring Y... and tell them... Tell them that fax is going through... now... And who am I ringing again?"
And if you hang up on her she'll ring back and say "I hadn't finished taking the message... so that was... ring Y and..."

I really wanted to ask her to move the fúck over so I could take my seat back or, better still, ask her to stand up so that I could get past her into the available inside seat and then take the outside one and leave her standing their like a knob. *

Being patronised.

I am 25 years old. I have no parents so am completely self reliant. I have my own car, I pay my own bills, I keep my house clean and dinners cooked. I work full time, and I take care of two well looked after dogs. Lots of responsibility!

So, I wonder then, why are people not much older than me so patronising? "Thanks pet. You're a great girl". WTF?!
And it's not just one headwrecker that does it either, my manager does it, the lady in dunnes yesterday done it, that guy in did electrical said "that young lady is waiting" when directing someone over to help me with a tv.

Perfect strangers treating me like a child

When using publci transport, I've started specifically looking for seats beside people (usually women!) who have their bags on the empty seat beside them, even when there are plenty of other seats I could choose. Love p*ssing those wans off, especially when you sit down before they have had a chance to move the bag fully

Vel · 04-09-2014 12:25PM

Since when does the person coming out of a shop door have right of way over those of us walking by? I'm encountering these fools on a daily basis, sauntering out of shops without a care in the world, directly into my path

Seats aren't for oversized bags, they are for human bums, over, regular and under sized. I've seen plenty of people standing while some wan has her bag occupying a seat. These people must be crushed. Capiche?!

If there's plenty of room on the bus I see no problem keeping your bags on the seat beside you tbh.
