    Every s needs a h.

    On the topic of things that annoy me. The word "privilege". Nothing good ever comes from a sentence with that word. It's just time to throw out all logic because as the person in the room who is part of a group larger than the others you are automatically wrong.

    Having a so-called "muscle cramp" in my shoulder for the last two months and being unable to sleep on it. It hurts and it aches and it's making me depressed. :(

    Why is nobody taught the basics in life?

    A post here had me in stitches as the poster was so serious, it could not have been trolling!

    Bus and lorry drivers deliberately "hiss air at passing cyclists"…

    FFS.. I am waiting for the "I only eat meat thats made in a factory" post..

    Are people so thick?

    When you are setting up some new online account and when it asks you to create a password, which you do but then only to be told in bright red error signs that you need at least one caps letter, a number and a bloody symbol. Why dont they just tell you this when you are creating the password:confused::mad:

    The phlumpy fúcker who got onto the luas this morning and demanded that this poor girl get up and give her a seat. She wasn't remotely old, just fat and breathless! And had a face on her like a bucket of lego on acid. And....to make it worse, the girl was super apologetic and nice about it, asking her if she was ok etc. :mad: The only thing wrong with the silly bint was her sense of entitlement and the rather pressing need for some major deforestation on her face. She needed a bar of soap and something to clamp her gaping mouth shut, not a seat.

    I'm annoyed that I dont have a GoPro camera mounted to my bike.
    A guy cycling ahead of me wasn't looking where he was going and BLLAMMMMOOO, straight into a lamp-post.

    He was alright though, just a bit of embarassed.

    yes :(

    I sometimes think they have it easier though, they are blissfully unaware of their own ignorance. Being smart has it's problems - you are aware of your own shortcomings and those of the idiots surrounding you....and that can become trivially annoying :) Much better to be stupid and happy. Strive for nothing and wallow in your own silliness.

    I know the type. Strangely enough they aren't as fond of so-called 'plain speaking' when someone gives an opinion, in return...

    Parents who think the whole world stops for their kids. Two examples of which in less than 24 hours. One is a complete baby bore. You could say something like "I stubbed my toe" and she could be like "Penelope's shoes hurt her toe too".
    You can't **** without her telling you Penelope pooped too.

    Anyway the latest rage inducer is on Facebook. A lady on my friends list put up yday that her elderly dad (94) fell and broke his hip. He needs an op on his hip and they're worried about him under anesthetic as he's so little and frail. Some half wit clown posts "hope he's going to be ok, really want my little man to be able to get to know him".

    What the actual ****? The old man is undergoing an op and you just want your child to have an opportunity to get to know him? Feck off

    People who reek of stale BO. We were on a bus on Friday and as soon as we got on the stench of it hit us. The bus was busy so we had to sit seperately and I didn't realise until I'd sat down that it was coming from the girl next to me. There I was hanging off the seat trying to put distance between us, while looking in the other direction trying desperately not to inhale the stink. We got off a couple of stops early as she took her cardigan off to reveal bare armpits, sweet divine, the stink:eek:

    She was dressed in a beauticians top, so Christ only knows who'd pay to have her lean over them with that stink coming from her. Everyone knows that synthetic fibres really make you sweat when they're next to your skin, especially in humid weather. I was less passive than aggressive in my comments when we were getting off. Dirty cow, even using a couple of baby wipes could have avoided polluting the bus with the stench.:mad:

    The glazed look 99% of people get after they ask you for directions but then clearly dont listen, or interupt and say, "is it not the other way?". Or, if you give them directions in the simplest possible form - "take the next right" - they look at you as if you should be elaborating or breaking it down into even easier terms for them, and ask "the next right? The next right??". The next idiot who does any of the above shall be directed to the earth's core.

    groucho marx's post reminded me of a guy that I work with who thinks he's hilarious when in fact most of the time he's rude and insulting. I called him out on a remark he made to me which I really upset me and he has stopped talking to me and completely blanks me now. He's in his 40's FFS grow up.

    I know a guy like that in his 60's :( He just barks the most inappropriate drivel at people as he trundles past them. All with an air of "banter" to cover his passive aggressive boney little áss too. If you call him on it, or blank him instead of going along with it by laughing with him and dying a little inside, he doesn't know how to cope :)

    My gran is like that too but for some reason, I just find it hilarious. Sitting around having tea - "take a biscuit, go on take one. You must be watching your weight are you? Sure there's not a pick on you. Go on take one. Ah take another one! Go on have another. Take two more... Will you have another biscuit? Go on take another one" and then after you've been forcefed the entire pack....."that one's after finishing off all the biscuits, no wonder she's the size she is!" or as she said to my mother (who is the eldest of 6) one day, "I dont know why they are always banging on about women having late pregnancies and the problems it can cause - my children got nicer as they went on!" :)

    "Didja watch the match?"
    "No"
    "You didn't watch the match?"
    "No, I didn't watch the match?
    "Jaysus, I thought everyone would have watched the match"
    "well, I didn't, I was out for a walk"
    "A walk? Instead of watching the march?"
    "No, not instead of, I just went for a walk.."
    "Ya missed a great match"
    "I didn't fcuking miss it, I didn't want to watch it"
    "Ya didn t want to watch the match?"

    "By any chance do you have a shotgun I could borrow?"

    When my housemate puts her teabag in the sink. The bin is directly under the sink!

    The quality of advertising on television these days - it's actually shocking.

    Yeah, I hear this. Then they look at you like you were a mentally defective alien. "I was at the hospital visiting a relative who had a near-fatal heart-attack last week at the age of 34, and now I'm having a quiet pint. I suggest you do the same unless you want to join him up there." :mad:

    I know exactly what you mean. Worked with someone like that, so funny, not. Someone always had to be the butt of her oh so funny remarks. If called on it, she was 'only joking'.
    She picked the wrong target one day, and finally got shown up for the b1tch that she was.

    People who have nothing to say for themselves but still aim for a prolonged interaction with you as they pass by, so they take a greeting and extend it: "hey-yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, how are yooooooooooou?" - wtf? I much prefer someone who just says, "hi" and keeps walking. Or better, the ones who just keep walking.

    Having issues with my O2 connection for the past 3 weeks. I called up once on the first week when she assured me they were working on it and it'd be fixed shortly. By the end of the following week, it wasn't fixed, so I called again and I spoke to someone else who said it was marked "urgent" and was "escalated". Three or four days later, I called again, where the girl halved my phone bill as a good will gesture and told me shed contact me the next day with an update. Didn't get contacted the following day so I called back, managed to get talking to same girl. By now my patience was wearing thin but the girl was super nice and I felt bad about being narky. She offered more reduction but I didn't want it, I just wanted my phone to work properly. She assured me it would be fixed by Saturday. For definate. So, it wasn't. Or Sunday. Or up til lunch time today.

    So, I called back today and got talking to the most ignorant old cow ever. She told me it was a fault on the mast, and that there was nothing she could do and there was no point in ringing O2 again when they're aware of the fault. What the hell?! They were aware of it for over 3 weeks, and did nothing. And second of all, I didn't ask you to climb the mast yourself so dial back on the attitude, thanks.

    I'm not confrontational at all until someone starts on me first but Jesus

    Went to the toilet on my floor in the office. Cubicle taken.
    Went to the toilet on the next floor down. Toilet smeared EVERYWHERE with sh*t.
    Went to the ground floor, no jacks roll.

    LynnGrace his final remark to me was you gave it but you can't take it.

    When someone says something mean that they think is funny just say "sorry, what?" And if they say it again say "I don't understand, what do you mean?" It is never funny when they have to explain it, it's never funny when nobody laughs, and they just look ridoooooonklious

    Supermarket ATMs and the fact that they are almost always out of 20 euro notes (that is, when they do have cash in them).
    I just spent five minutes standing behind one guy using the ATM and he was taking fcuking ages. Not to mention the guy behind me was standing too close, so I had to stand sideways.
    Then it was my turn to use it. Out of bloody 20s. So I go to withdraw 100. "Insufficient funds" - balls, the balance hasn't cleared in my new account yet. I take out my credit card, put in the PIN for the debit card, realise just in time, cancel transaction, reinsert card, ask for a denomination non divisible by 50, fcuk it I forgot, cancel again, correct PIN this time.

    I probably took as long as the guy in front of me. :o
