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
.
If I'm in a queue in a supermarket I always swing my basket back, "oh sorry, I didn't realise you were standing so close to me".Barely There wrote: »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?
They tried having it out of the way in New Ross 2 years ago but the traffic was absolutely horrendous. I think they like Ratheniska because there are so many routes in and out. I'd expect it to be held there again next year.0 -

I like to leave big spaces to annoy these people. You can almost feel the panic coming off them like a steam :P
It's the small, passive-aggressive indulgences that get us through the day

My friends laugh at me for the way I baby my dogs, (usually the ones with kids) my dad was really sick last year and I gave up work to look after him. Things got real tight, he was in hospital dying, had to be looked after, bills ect. Left feck all money for anything else. Then I'd go blowing most whatever I had on dog food, the stray dog had pups so she was getting liver, cottage cheese, as well as her regular food, she hadnt enough milk for all the puppies so I was buying dried doggie formula for them. And I was living on noodles and toast!!

That formula stuff is more expensive than SMA! Wonder would they be better on that, although the lactose probably wouldnt do them any good. I get weird looks from people when they comment on how friendly some of my lads are and I say "well yes but I fed them myself" - clearly what I mean is "I bottle fed them baby cat formula because mom was weak/thin/dead and now they think all humans are the source of milk and hence are quite tame". What the other person hears is, "I am a freak of nature who acts as wetnurse for different species to top up my income"

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.
Youre out there 24 hours "smoking" by the sounds of it!!
Seriously I have done it though. Mad late for work one morning, ran into the kitchen starkers to see the fella next door out the back wide eyed!! Could never look him in the eye afterwards!! :-D0 -

Today's trivial annoyance is the brashness of kids and teenagers with correspondence to business, ie my business.
When I was young during the nineties, my parents would make you pick up the phone and ask a question about a product directly, or write a proper letter to a business.
Daily we have have stunted emails, with no introduction, no signing off, no name or contact details and just an ignorant sentence asking something like "what can ya do if I buy dis and dis together" with a link included, or "i ordered yest eve and my order hasnt arrived, where is it?" or "i ordered X 2 months ago and it broke, i want a replacement".
No information included, no order numbers, no breakdown of problems etc. I think it's only going to get worse too.
Having said that, we got a great letter about a year ago in the post from a kid down the country, written by hand in an almost illegible scrawl, asking the simplest question which could have been answered in 5 seconds on the phone. We loved it, great to see the effort put in, it's still stuck to the pinboard.0 -

There is one particular pedestrian crossing I use that a lot of drivers don't even seem to see!
And if they do, they seem to put down the boot, to race across it.0 -

Oh yes, I've been known to inflict the odd injury too.
I settled for a slight glare today... Some day I'm going to invent a condition, and say that it makes me hit people who stand too close to me. And then give a demo of it 0 -

I rarely use the crossing near us as I just don't trust the drivers. I've had incidents were one car going in one direction stops and another going in the opposite direction doesn't stop. I know that if I cross further up the road that drivers aren't going to stop and it's actually safer that way.0 -

I don't know why they bother with them in Galway. Cars just keep going and if you were to walk in front of a car they would give out! I was amazed when cars would stop in other counties. I thought everyone ignored them.0 -
