    I got married the same day as Kim Kardashian. My sister wished her a happy anniversary on twitter.

    I saw her in person and she didn't even mention my anniversary. She was my bridesmaid :D I'm a wee bit annoyed but I also laughed a lot.

    I had a physio appointment at the hospital yesterday, and no car. So what is usually just a 15 minute drive became an hours trip, as there is no direct bus. So a bus into town, and a bus back out to the hospital. Even more annoying than this was the rude ba$tard of a bus driver. He didn't speak to me just nodded sourly. I sat on the seat directly behind him, which is up a step, and he crashed into speed bumps, I thought I was going to go flying. When we got to a narrow bit of road where the bus and a car can't pass each other safely, he mutters "don't even think about coming down here you cnut" to an approaching car. I changed seats for my own safety when we stopped at another stop. A nice young couple got on with their little boy, and as we were nearing town the man stood up to ask the driver where somewhere was, and he flipped the lid at him shouting "can't you see I'm driving?". I felt so sorry for the man, he was foreign, and had been trying to make out where he was going from a letter he had. Honest to God, it made me holy glad that I rarely have to get on a bus, if that's what you are listening to.

    Oranges, it was easier to eat them when I didn't have to peel them :mad:

    Got squirted right in the eye as I was trying to peel one yesterday, bit of a surreal experience that made me laugh, but annoying at the same time :o

    Dammit I had another annoyance but I can't think of it now!

    Oh yeah, people who tell you something, and then say "I'm only saying!" when they realise I can't possibly care at this hour of the morning, and I'm unsure I'll ever be able to care for the latest "outrage" they've gotten worked up about... :rolleyes:

    People at work seem to be extremely annoying today. It must be something in the water.
    Could not be me.

    Putting an 11am appointment into my diary as 10am and it's not worth my while going home and straight back again. So hanging round with little to do until 11.

    Naturally also it's one of the rare times I haven't brought a book with me.

    Panicking slightly when I see I have a private message on Boards, thinking it's a warning for something, when it's really just from another user.

    Usually I go, "Oooo nice, a PM" and then realise it's a warning for something :P

    Weather for the long weekend looks crap :(

    Being TAed at forgetting what your TAed at.

    See, when I see that wee number '1' I get all excited. Like getting a letter when you were a kid.
    But then sometimes you click and discover it is a thread I followed back in 2013 that has been resurrected from the dead. Very disappointing.

    I love the original Mad Max movie, with it's low/no budget, gritty-near-future feel, comically bad acting and of course beautiful motorcycles. Then they go and air-sea change to a sort of, as the brother described it, loopy Steampunk theme-park for the second film. This was exacerbated nicely by Tina Turner in Thunderdome, and proceeds apace I notice with the latest effort, Fury Road, despite wheelbarrowing the magnificent Hugh "Toecutter" Keays-Byrne out of mothballs to once more do the Head-Buck-Kid bad guy. Are we required to apprehend that shortly after this apocalyptic event that decimates modern society as we know it, everyone turns into some sort of alien with Down Syndrome? Fcuk you George Miller. Fcuk you right in the ear-hole. :mad:

    We have a mouse upstairs, and I can't bring myself to set a trap, so I'm waiting until I can get some sort of humane trap so I can catch it and put it outside. In the meantime this keeps going through my head https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2fg7w49UnGA&autoplay=1

    If it's any consolation my mother forgot my wedding anniversary last month. She was so mortified she gave us 100 euro cash as a gift. :D

    Those "Keep calm and ...." posters/images. That **** has been ****ing milked to death, stop it already, they're ****ing everywhere! Was going past a church on the bus this morning and they had one outside saying "Keep calm and pray" then there was a girl at a later stop wearing a t-shirt saying "Keep calm and stay cool" or something to that effect. Every time I see one it has the opposite effect on me, ****ing things make my blood boil!

    How about this one:
    Keep
    Calm
    &
    Come
    Up
    With
    A
    ****ing
    Original
    Design
    That
    Hasn't
    Been
    Done
    To
    Death
    Before
    You
    Unimaginative
    Prick
    Too long?

    I was expecting this after reading the first part of your post Cat -





    Slightly OT: You're only three years older than me (b. 1973?) and I can remember my mother singing that song as she went about the housework! She knew it annoyed the hell out of everyone, that's why she did it! :D

    That, and this abomination -

    Yes, 1973 :). I'd forgotten about Bimbo !! My Dad used to sing both of those. Memories :)

    I hate finishing a book I really enjoy reading, it's a bitter sweet thing.

    I hate when certain things are just left! I want to know what happens to each character ect but some of their stories just kinda stop and don't have a ending - that's another thing I hate - bad endings!!!

    Being distracted and putting the washing machine on the loooooooongest cycle rather than the sub-one hour wash that I usually choose.

    The washing will never be dry before evening now. What a waste of a nice day :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,826 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    I'm annoyed with how het-up and angry I am after confronting someone who's in the wrong.

    There's a kid who keeps swinging and hanging off my railings and I'm fed up telling him to stop.

    I went out yesterday to tell him to get off, reminded him I'd warned him before and off he went.
    But when I came indoors, I was shaking.

    I get so angry, I can't control my temper and I feel so shakey for ages afterwards.

    I keep hearing the voice of God. Actually, it's the announcer at the train station about 5 minutes away but it may as well be the voice of God it's that f*cking loud.

    I've been watching Pretty Little Liars, one of those so bad it's good shows, on Netflix. It bugs me that "A" is wearing those damn black leather gloves in every scene s/he is in. I know it's another way to stop the viewer from guessing who "A" is - but it just looks ridiculous seeing him/her doing things like accepting tea in a dainty little tea cup with those damn gloves on!

    How most public toilets are filthy and destroyed with sh1te 80% of the time. Epic skidmarks everywhere.

    Having food stuck halfway in your throat from not swallowing properly.

    The Aer Lingus ad that clearly p1sses on Terminal 1 in Dublin Airport by not even showing it.

    Feeling your pain. I just dropped a full hoover bag on the carpet causing it to split open and dust practically explode everywhere... So much for the last 20min of hoovering...

    The neighbours next door to my parents, they have taken it upon themselves to wander into our garden multiple times in the last week or so. They don't call to the house they just come around into the back garden, often locking in the dog. Their kids have even done it a couple of times on their own. My mother has taken to hiding in house and calling me when they're there. I'm annoyed she hasn't said anything, and also that I'm not there to say something myself. No privacy at all!
