"Is there an AIB branch nearby?"
"No, the nearest one is about three miles that way"
"Fine"

saying "fine" is not a substitute for saying "thank you"

You ignorant prickya!

The election poster opposite the church. "Surrogacy? A child needs a mother for more than 9 months". Eh, I didn't realise we were voting on surrogacy ?? What a sneaky way to try and sway the No vote. I nearly exploded like that bird in Shrek

They don't need to walk on the road just step behind their buddy for a second and continue on.
If I'm running on the side with traffic coming against I'll often run on the road until I'm around them but in busy traffic that's not possible, the amount of near shoulder collisions is too damn high!

Even when you're just walking along a path, and there are people coming your way taking up the entire width of the path and they make no effort to let you pass, so you end up having to walk on the road or on the grass or the muck. It's so ignorant and rude.

My wife's obsession with leopard print!

I didn't mind before that she has leopard print throws on all the sofas, leopard print cushion covers, leopard print sheets, duvet covers, pillow cases and curtains... I'd say if she could get leopard print paint for the walls she would! :pac:

Ok, that's all fine, no problem, I don't mind what she does behind closed doors. But, when she comes to meet me and she's wearing a leopard print raincoat (parka, excuuuse me! :rolleyes: ), my jaw dropped. Jesus, too much, it just looked awful!

"Aw you've turned me off it now"

"Good".

Love the woman to bits but good grief, have to say stop somewhere or the next thing she'll be wearing her leopard print pyjamas and leopard print slippers out in public! :pac:

I fear you may be right there dub. 17 years later and it's like she lives in a different era, the 70's, whereas I'm much more modern and minimalist style.

Just flew back from T1 at Dublin airport this morning. I saw about 3 power sockets for public use. This is 2015 ffs.

I can't decide if I should curl my hair for tonight or leave it straight. I know I'm silly but this kind of thing drives me up the wall. It's been eating me up all day :pac:

Creepy Google going all Big Brother on my phone. Picked up my phone to head to lunch and my normal locked screen had been replaced with an ad - 'heading to lunch? Why not try...'

Read an article in the irish times ,the buttons on traffic lights don,t do anything ,they are there to fool people,
the pedistran lights just change after a certain no of minutes.
pressing the button will not speed it up.

Read a post on boards about the buttons on traffic lights. It was nonsense.

I hate feeling self-concious. I need to go walking again in the evenings but I'm concious of the fact that my sweat glands don't work well and sometimes it can look like I've got a badly sunburned face and sweaty hair when I'm really powering along. It's grand in the winter since it's dark and I can put a hat on but these evenings there's so many people around. Basically, I feel like a fat freak.

fussyonion · 07-05-2015 05:05PM

Bad hygiene.

I was in the supermarket today and after loading my groceries onto the conveyor belt, I could SMELL someone behind me loading their groceries on behind mine.
I looked and it was a woman wearing a grubby looking white T-shirt and shorts.

She absolutely reeked of sweat. Absolutely disgusting.
There is no need for it.

I get people sweat. But it takes two second to apply deodorant.
And if you've got an excessive sweating problem, there are strong deodorants available.

I used to sweat a lot years ago, just under my arms and it would never smell, just wet patches, but I started using Mitchum and that problem's gone.

People smelling is just disgraceful.
And I know this will sound anti-women or whatever, but I don't think there's any excuse for a woman to smell so bad.

You might have hyperhidrosis- ask your doctor. Use a deodrant called Dilac on the effected areas first though, it might solve the problem (didnt for me but worth a try)

thats a head wreck. I cycle in a park with newly tarmaced footpaths which are marked out as three lanes- one each for each direction of cycling, the other other one for pedestrians. Theres paint on the ground pointing out the lanes at regular intervals yet walkers totally ignore that they're walking in a cycle lane, its very annoying when you lose all your momentum because you have to slam the brakes for someone in your way

Thanks, but it's not that. I had a diagnosis years ago and it's something that gets progressively worse. Don't wanna get too graphic, suffice to say glands rot.:(

KatW4 · 07-05-2015 05:19PM

The way I panic so much. Waiting for results for my Irish exams which were due tomorrow. I worked myself up so much and haven't slept properly in a week from worrying. They came today and I thought I was gonna throw up waiting for my sister to tell me what I got. I wish I wasn't such a worry wart

(I passed everything though woo)

You ignorant prickya!

My other favourite is someone asking me for directions, or the right time, or whatever, then turning on their heel, without a word.
Or looking at me blankly since (clearly), I am not giving them the answer they want to hear...

Spanish Eyes · 07-05-2015 05:44PM

You know what's a great one, drives me mad, but I always laugh after...

OK, you are walking down the road, and suddenly someone is in your way. You move, s/he moves, you move again, so does s/he all in the same feckin direction.

One day, this went on for so long, I just had to say to the bloke, ah here, get out of me way, and BTW, thanks for the dance!

People who complain I dress all in black when my boxer shorts are grey.

Zanablue · 07-05-2015 06:25PM

It annoys me when people make comments that they shouldn't. I was at a weight watchers meeting today and a woman remarked that I had put on weight since the last time she saw me. Of course I had put on ****ing weight that was why I was there. Its hard enough to go to these things without having to put up with that ****. More then trivially annoyed:(

Shandashey · 07-05-2015 06:27PM

When you're trying to get off a packed bus, and the people just stand there, with their mouths open, in the middle of the aisle, and don't have the cop on to move themselves, and when you dare try and pass get the huffs almighty with you

I hate public transport and all who ride on her

can you make a complaint about that? surely comments like that shouldn't be allowed in that environment.
