    Went off to the vending machine for a five minute work break looking forward to a really cold bottle of coke.:rolleyes:
    Money in the slot - delighted with myself that I had the correct change.:D
    Pressed c7 - Here it comes!!!!:eek:
    *Click* - Bottle stuck half out :mad:
    I almost cried! :(
    If there hadn't been others in the canteen at the time, I would have given it an almighty kick!

    There a woman who sits near me at work, and in the afternoon she will start humming what I could only describe as some sort of lullaby or hymn - really low and barely audible, but once I realise she's doing its all I can hear and it gets incredibly annoying

    Waiting to cross the road earlier and some bint was standing hammering away on the pedestrian crossing button. You only need to press those things once! Pressing them repeatedly does not make the green man appear sooner. She must have hit it 50 times non stop while we were standing there :(

    TA that I work with a load of Sieve Heads. The type that would be on the phone to someone for 10/15 mins hang up resolve a separate issue and when asked did they speak to such and such on the phone about such and such they can't give an answer. You were just talking to them on the phone for 20 ****ing Minutes!!!!!

    This happens everyday with the same people not just on phones but on everything, Maybe Ive no paitence but lack of awareness, not knowing what you've just done 50 mins previous is frustrating to deal with.

    I'm sick of stories on social media describing how some random mother begs other people, mostly strangers on social media to come to her kid's birthday party, all because the kids classmates don't want to go. When did this sh(te become an acceptable thing? So the kid isn't popular, for whatever reason. People really need to have some self-respect.

    Pubs/cafés in Dublin located at a street corner with a sign outside on the pavement blocking pedestrians.

    Stupid cnuts getting on a jammed Luas wearing backpacks/rucksacks. Slamming it off everyone. Taking up the space of two people. And they're usually not alone. Doors open at a later stop and they stand there, looking out at the people trying to get on, with a kind of "I'm as surprised as you that there's no room. Morning commuters eh?" look on they're faces. They make that half added pretence of looking around to see if anyone, not them, could make more room.

    Thank god I'm only on public transport once a week.

    Jesus. That's fcuked up. Why not take the kid out for a special day with just the family?

    ...'tis far from birthday parties we were raised!!

    I got to know a delivery guy because I bought so much stuff online. He was at my door 3 times a week. He called today and asked would I take a parcel for my neighbour across the road because she wasn't answering the door. The lady is deaf and her husband normally answers it, but he was hit by a car and is in hospital.

    I took the parcel and signed for it, having a chat with the delivery driver. Then he drove off and I read the address, it's for number 27 in the estate down the road with a similar name to my one. So now I have to go for a walk later to deliver a parcel to a stranger. I'm so glad I looked at the address before I went to yer wan across the road, she would have thought I was nuts. In future I'll check it before I accept it
    Idiot :o

    The cashier at my local Centra will start serving the next person before you've had the chance to pick up your good. She'll reach across above your head to get the good from the next person to scan. I find it a bit rude.

    Absolutely. I hate that, and will always wait until I have my change put back in etc before moving. It's equally annoying when you find you are the person behind and the cashier starts saying, "next" or beckoning you on while the person in front is still trying to get their stuff together. I usually just smile and say, "yeah, just waiting for this lady/man to finish"...quite pointedly :) Can we not afford to give people an extra two seconds? :(

    People who drunkenly post a passive aggressive rant on Facebook, attacking people, making snide little comments that are unfair and unfounded, just because they like to create a little drama for themselves. The only thing they'll achieve is total self-alienation.

    A useful rule-of-thumb is, anything ideally requiring .45 ACP to deal with adequately is a little beyond Trivial! :pac:

    The high pitched, somewhat nasal quality that men's voices take on as they approach the grave.

    This is more than trivially annoying - after all these monts I STILL CAN'T EAT KEBAB!!!!! I don't remember which one of you funny feckers it was, I'm suspecting jimgoose, eisenberg or Boom_Bap but "thanks very much"! I'll probably be off it for life.

    Ah don't be like that, kebab is great. Just find a good meaty one with plenty of mayonnaise oozing out of it. :D
