Yes. I'm one of those slightly scary, anonymous types with a black suit, sunglasses on in Winter and a bit of wire near my ear.

Cook books "for health" - can we not just eat because we are hungry and need fuel? Does everything have to have an underlying "cure" and goji berries etc?

This one in front of me: "Women's health - balancing breakfast with calcium and prunes to prevent constipation (I did not realise this was gender specific), hormone protective lunch (we'll all ovulate into our soup now on 3!) and immunity enhancing dinner" - **** off

If I were to tell you that it'd be a very Irish sort of "undercover", wouldn't it!

Losing an earring and only finding it because you walked on it. Ouch!

People who staple sheets of paper together at the top right rather than the top left - you do know I have to work my way through the pages, how can I do that with the way you've assembled them?

It's p0xy being a cyclist when they do this.

As a rule when I'm driving, if someone is hanging out onto the road, I never let them out.

I always have the bejesus scared out of me when I'm driving along and there's someone bullying their way out onto the road on the other side and the vehicle coming in the other direction just swings over onto my side because I'm on my motorbike. Everytime it happens my overactive mind envisions them running me off the road

People talking about the Kardashians. SHUT UP!
People talking about Beyonce and all that rubbish. SHUT UP!
People talking about either of the above muppets with your mouth full of food. SHUT UUUUUPPPP!!!
I actually feel like I've lost a few brain cells just listening to them.
"How come Rob is never on the show and they're so secretive about his issues?"
"It just goes to show that if you want to keep something secret you can"
WOULD YOU STOP! They're not telling you all that stuff so that you keep watching the fooking show!
And then in the next conversation
"It's the same as Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes managing to keep their baby a secret"
Yes, Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are just like the Kardashians...

I work with an IDIOT who staples things in the top right corner and the middle :mad: She has worked here for nearly 2 years now and I'm telling her for the 2 years she has worked here to do it properly.

One person I work with is so terrified of one of the sheets going missing that she'll put four or five staples across the top :mad:. I spend more time disassembling and reassembling her sheets than I do checking them.

She is just being conscientious and it's too trivial a matter to bring up with her so I'm gritting my teeth and reaching for the staple remover

Paul Brennan and Michael O'Brien drink contaminated engine-oil at the garage and grow to Godzilla-size and have a massive fight, during which the whole of Carrickstown is flattened, including the shop. Pauls wins, roundhousing Michael clear out of Dubbalin and into the back-arse of Kildare, where he finds work as a stunt-double for Newgrange.

I have the same awkward conversation with a man I meet in work at least once a day. Everytime we pass each other it's the same thing:

Him: 'Hi Vel, how are you?'
Me: 'Good thanks'
Him: 'I'm well thanks'

But I didn't ask you how you are!! And I never get the chance to ask because he jumps in so quickly telling me how he is. And I'm the one cringing after, even though it should totally be his cringe!

It annoys me when I am walking and come across others who are two and three abreast and they won't move out of the way. I had to walk on the road twice this morning because unmannerly biddies wouldn't move in and let me past. Sometimes I feel like walking into them.

Vel · 24-09-2014 12:14PM

Having to make small talk with someone in the toilets in work after you've listened to them do a loud poo!

honeygirl · 24-09-2014 01:17PM

I came home today to find my post box stuffed with junk mail. I have the biggest NO JUNK MAIL posted letters only sign stuck to it. Just pisses me off when they ignore it.

Stopping dead in your tracks helps. Kind of reminds me when driving on a narrow road and there is a car coming towards you and they have a pull in bit on their side but no, they keep coming so that the squeeze is really tight. Fúcker in a jeep did it to me yesterday. i stuck the car to the road and sat there and let her inch past. If she doesn't want to stay back where the road is wider then she can do the fúcking maneouvering.

I do that automatically
let them decide which way to move around me. also stops the dance where you both move the same way to pass

The tendency of media outlets to add the suffix "-gate" to any current controversery.

The most recent one occured during the weekend in the Armagh SFC where Crossmaglen played a match against a team of over-40's who took the field in normal clothing as their team had a wedding and if they didn't fulfill the fixture they faced being handed a year's ban from all competitions. http://hoganstand.com/Armagh/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=224632
Has since been dubbed as "Jean-gate". God they are so witty.

Of course, the original Watergate scandal derived from the name of the hotel it took place in, and has nothing to do with gates. Or water for that matter.

People who need to stand on my heels in a queue. Don't tempt me, I may just step back on you. What is their fear, what is it that is going to happen if they leave a small bit of space between me and them

Drivers who rev their engines at me when I'm on a pedestrian crossing. Rev away fcukers, I'm going to walk as slowly as I possibly can now, just to piss you off for being such a prick.:p

gugleguy · 24-09-2014 01:43PM

The fact that only one boards.ie thread update arrives in my hotmail inbox anymore. I missed the clump of updates that used to appear. grrr.

People who leave their curtains wide open. I was out for a walk the other night and some movement caught my eye as I walked past a ground floor apartment. There was a young Asian woman sitting in bed with the curtains wide open, no net curtains or voiles for even a slight bit of privacy.:eek: Do they not realise that there are rapists/psychopaths out there who might see it as an invitation

Ths Ploughing Championship and the associated traffic have annoyed me.

One - Why is there a championship of ploughing? It makes no sense. You might as well have a tea-making championship.

Two - It's being held in the middle of the country, where thousands of ruddy-faced, cabbage-headed, muck savages congregate in their 1998 Ford Mondeos at 50km/hr, making a mess of the surrounding road network. If they must have a championship of ploughing, can they not have it up in Donegal or somewhere out of the way?

We have new neighbours accross the road who don't like using thier blinds/curtains, the front bedroom windows are nearly floor to ceiling.

Things I've seen:
- The woman of the house stark naked a few times.
- The daughter of the house doing some sort of dance where the finale was to pull her top down and expose her breasts
- On one evening, the roller blind was half down, I seen the daughter remove her underwear, get a mirror between her legs and inspect herself
- The daughter or mother, not sure which was dressed in a Winnie The Pooh suit the other day standing at the window staring out for about 10 minutes solid.

This may seem like I am monitoring their house, these events have jsut happened while I've been outside having a quick smoke.....apart from the pooh bear thing, i initially seen that while smoking, but had to keep looking out for a progress update.
