Trivial things that annoy you Part 43

People who openly gawp at disabled people. I often catch people doing it, thinking the person themselves can't see them but not realising that I can. When we make eye contact I have a withering look that I give especially for the occassion!

Our youngest daughter has hip dysplasia which required her to wear a body cast which went from her chest right down to her ankles with her legs in a very wide set position. The amount of staring that went on in public was unreal. I'd catch people literally open mouthed having a good old stare at her. It does get to you after a while and unfortunately she'll be back in aother one next year after she has surgery on her hip. I may end up in a brawl this time around!

We bought a Belling cooker a few years ago, WORST COOKER EVER. It's killing my pumpkin pie at the moment.:mad:

The matter of nibbling at the Pork Portcullis is neither here nor there. The thing is, I bring no facial hirsuititude to the party, nor shall I. :cool:

Get him a nice pair of leather chaps, and he can join the Village People:D

Dublin city. What the fúck has happened over the last week? Are you fúckers Christmas shopping already? Town is jammed. LUAS is jammed - you can't get standing room on it at any time. Fúcking rent a crowd or something. I am seriously píssed with Dublin right now, and long to be somewhere with trees and peace and a babbling brook or something

Even the thoughts of going home now

People who gawp at people openly gawping at disabled people - only joking

Seriously? Deck 'em

I was briefly in Stephen's Green Shopping Centre today and couldn't believe it. I thought that there was some event going on other than a load of mongs with no life barging each other out of the way in shops, but no they did appear to me to be just shopping. What the actual fcuk?

Maddening

There'll be nothing left by Christmas... Perfect excuse for not buying!

People saying 'Happy Halloween', I've only noticed it this year.

It's irritating the fcuk out of me.

Trying to get through it tonight, the effort. Some little knackbag wolf whistled at me, while he was swigging like a hard man out of a bottle of Bacardi breezer, near that Aston quays, and then right on the corner some strung out junkie bitch stood on my foot

I made a pumpkin pie, well I followed the recipe for the Libby's famous pumpkin pie, dear God Americans like things sweet.:eek: A can of condensed milk as well as a cup of sugar and yet I can't stop nibbling at it. At this rate I'm going to go into some sort of sugar related coma.

People out fundraising every single fcuking weekend. I hate shopping at the weekend but I have to because I'm busy during the week. Bag packers and people with their little tables at the doors of shopping centres, they drive me batty. I mean every god damn weekend in every shopping centre, just fcuk off would ya, I can barely feed myself!! :mad:

In Dunnes earlier, there was a bucket at the end of the till, but no charity person in sight. There was a guy on his phone looking at twitter or facebook or taking a selfie or something, when he seen me looking at him, he stepped forward and was clearly wearing a charity t-shirt. He asked if he could pack our bags, I declined but still fished out a few pence for the kids to throw in the bucket. Before the kids even got near the bucket, he was back standing off, on his phone looking at pictures of himself or something.
At least if you are going to be there to assist and look for funds, try to get involved.

People who decorate their house all spooky for Halloween and have the lights on but then ignore children knocking.

My rule with my daughter is we only knock on houses that are decorated and that have lights on, if they've no spooky stuff up/lights off then leave them alone cause they don't like halloween, but half the decorated houses didn't answer, fair enough if they don't want to, its their prerogative but why go to the bother of making your house look so spooky and inviting!

Oh, I'll second that. The rings on mine take forever for the spuds to come to the boil. Then when the ring is turned down low to simmer, the spuds merrily continue to boil. The top part, when used as an oven is totally useless, no decent heat in it . I got an engineer to come out and check it out, and surprise, surprise he could find nothing wrong. I only chose a Belling, as several people recommended it to me:(

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 31-10-2014 11:25PM

Parents who drive their kids around from house to house for them trick or treating. I handed out the crap stuff, fruit ect to the kids we didn't know that had mommy waiting in the car.

The first day we got ours I turned the oven on, as the manuel said to do to burn off any dust etc. I left the kitchen and when I came back a few minutes later the oven door was wide open. Within a few minutes of closing it and watching it reopen itself it was obvious it would have to go back. When the replacement arrived it did the same thing. Turned out when I EVENTUALLY got through to Belling, that it was a fault that they knew about so they sent out an engineer.

I will never again buy based on a reputation that a company used to have. It half cooks food on one side and burns it on the other. Don't even get me started on the 2 panes of glass on the grill and main oven, let alone that if you want a handle for the grill pan you have to buy it seperately.:mad:
