    Noticing a Boardsie who posts in nearly every forum I'm in and posts all the fcuking time. Irritates me so much.

    Children sure are loved in this thread. I normally laugh at the children being leashed but maybe all children should be kept on one in public until the age of 5 and the parents pass a test.

    Or maybe the parents could actually teach them some manners, and not let them run riot around the place inconveniencing other people. I doubt kids are allowed race around like unkempt lunatics at home, smearing food on tables and into carpets, so why let them do it in someone else's premises? And not everybody is going to go weak at the knees at other people's off springs, parents would do well to remember that when seeking special treatment to reward them reproducing.

    I actually saw a car last week with a baby on board sign stuck on it. "Please slow down, Cian on board". What the actual ****? The reason I'm going slow and driving carefully is because I love my car and I quite like not being a mangled mess, not because your precious child is in a banged up micra. What do parents think? You're going to ram into them if they don't have a child?

    Never mind people in SUVs and people carriers are usually the most dangerous drivers on the road. Probably because they're so distracted by their naughty children.

    I actually really like well behaved kids, they're a lot of fun and a joy to be around. I honestly don't think it's the kids, it's the way they're being raised.

    And the irony is that the people complaining about these parents who are teaching their child to walk on a footpath will be the same people complaining if a child was walking on the road "Stupid fukcing kids and dumb parents should teach the ankle bitters to walk properly on a foot path like a normal person" or "Rude little bollicx of a brat let the door go in my face. Its the parents fault for never teaching them to hold a door open properly"

    I guess the delicious ironing is mostly lost on them though :D

    Yes, you're absolutely right, because a child can't learn to walk at home, it's entirely acceptable to allow a child to inconvenience other people.:rolleyes: I'm guessing that you might be the type of parent who finds it cute to let your kids do things that inconvenience other people. The reality is the world is full of people who don't give a rats ass about other people's kids. We just want to go about our business with as little hassle as necessary.

    Now now, Pumpkin, less of the claws. No need to be nasty :)
    There would, I assume, be no cars actually driving around in your living room?
    Thought so. The same goes for everyone elses home. So logic would then present that road safety and awareness would be taught to a child where there is actually a ROAD.
    But hey knock yourself out with your assumptions. It says more about you than me or mine ;)


    Edit: And also, how come everytime I post here you are in like Flynn with a nasty remark?
    Gotta thing for me?

    I can't say I've ever noticed you, but perhaps if I have commented on any of your previous posts it's been to disagree with some irritating point of yours. I can't really see how a toddler would have the slightest concept of road safety. If it can't walk or talk properly it hardly has the skills to understand road safety. Likewise with opening doors, a toddler doesn't have the bodily strength to push a heavy shop door. Maybe think through some of your posts before you actually post them.;)

    I dont imagine its you they are following...maybe just the same interests (unless they've done something weird?)

    To gain the concept of something, first it must be taught.

    You do know what a toddler is? You do know how speech is learned?

    If you have never "noticed" me before, how do you know previous posts have been obnoxious? I very rarely post in this thread but you have responded to me almost everytime. Its your vitriolic, almost hysterical outbursts I remember :p

    Ahahaha this made me laugh...so true!

    What about a general bumper sticker: "Please slow down, Human being on board"

    It's a small reminder to drive carefully, harms no one.

    I find it ironic that its usually drivers with those stickers who drive worse. I drive safely out of concern for myself my car and because I don't want to harm another person.

    I don't need a condescending infuriating sticker to remind me.

    People past 30 with no kids who say 'I'm free, I can do what I want'

    Your look into their eyes and you see emptiness. Their emptiness annoys me :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    People who need others in their life to make them feel validated

    When my favourite thread turns from "trivial things that annoy you" into "lets bash people who don't have children, notwithstanding the fact that we don't know the reasons why they are childless, and while we're at it also have a passive aggressive go at those who dare to not be as enamoured by our progeny as we are". Wtf happened to the thread? :(

    Bits of coffee in the sugar, bits of sugar in the coffee. Very upsetting.

    Annoying that I was awake most of the night because I was worried there was a mouse in the room.

    First world problems!

    Also something that tests a mans patience on a regular basis working in an office environment. Some days it's things like that, or piss on the toilet seat that makes you want to flip out and go all Michael Douglas in "Falling Down".


    :mad:

    You said 'flip' and for some reason that made me think of burgers and now I really want a burger.

    Oh jesus :mad:

    Jam in the butter, butter in the jam.

    Do you know what actually really trivially annoys me? My husband using a butter knife as a normal knife to eat his dinner with. It's called a butter knife for a reason. And he sits there hammering away at the dinner and tut tutting because the butter knife isn't great at cutting through anything but butter :rolleyes:

    Adults who cycle along with their hands hanging down by their sides.

    Cycling with no hands is something you do when you're 10 and it's a cool trick.
    I can think of very few occasions when an adult would need the use of both of their hands for something other than steering the bike, when cycling.

    But to just let them hang down by their sides?

    WHY, OH WHY?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    Ugh my dog being so naughty. I have two dogs. A daddy and his boy. The boy, is 2 weeks shy of his 1st birthday but he's obsessed with chewing things up. It's his favourite thing to do.

    I live in ballet pumps, for work, for home, dressing up, dressing down. Each pair - without fail - he will find, and chew. High heels? I saw him come sneaking into my room not too long ago, peep around the door to make sure I couldn't see him. Made his way to the wardrobe and took a shoe and raced off with it. The OH could leave his runners/shoes/slippers around and the dog has never once taken it.

    Leaving for work this morning, the dog had both my runners that I only bought last week chewed up. He had taken my (real) Michael kors wallet, chewed it, probably some of my cards I can't bear to look, and he took a gift card that was in an envelope, and my sunglasses in their case, and chewed them to pieces. I'm SO angry. He obviously climbed up onto the counter to get into my handbag.

    I swear to god I love him but he's skating on thin ice.

    He needs more toys like kong toys stuffed with food and things to chew on as toys, I'd reckon
    They also chew a lot if bored iirc

    Ugh, I wouldn't be able to sleep. I think it may be a job for rentokil.

    Rang them yesterday. Such a burden and ordeal. Ring the number, get transferred to another office, give my details and wait for a call back. Get the call back, call drops before I can fully explain, try call it back, no answer and recieved no further calls. Grr. Ill call again today

    Thanks Bluewolf, ill get him more toys. He shouldn't be bored, he's walked in the morning, hes walked in the evening (and has a farm to run around on most evenings). I let him sleep inside at night, when he does all his destruction. Maybe it's time to put him into his kennel.

    Also, include adults on BMX bikes.

    Fine if you're pulling stunts at a playground for such things but if you're on the road, get an adult's bike.

    When mine were young, I would fill a kong with wet food and freeze it, worked a treat.

    Now the dogs were a different story..........:D

    AHHHH shhhhtop! :( your one from rentokil said the same thing. They're coming out tomorrow to put bait boxes down. 200 crisp ones and then extra to seal up wherever they're getting in.
    Bet the oh wishes he caught them when I asked him to now!
