    Fcukwits and lunatics. I went for a walk earlier and at one stretch there were people moving out of their house, instead of putting stuff in the front garden, which was paved and perfectly fine, or putting it in whatever car or van they were moving it in they decided to dump it all on the footpath. There literally was not space to move through the flat screen tv and other electrical stuff, toys, bedding etc so I had to walk in the grass. I didn't see the puddle until I was foot deep in muddy water.:mad:

    Further up the road a guy driving way too fast stopped at a double set of traffic lights and had parked on the left hand turning so that all other traffic trying to get past him had to go around him. He had stopped at the lights and just turned the car at an angle. The lights were turning for the third time when I got to his car and unbelievably he was texting:eek:. I looked back a few minutes later and he was still there texting with the engine running.:confused::confused:

    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!

    Locking in the dog? Huh?

    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 absolute worst is when that happens, and you know that you've vacuumed up loads of spiders and bugs since last emptying the bag. *shudder*

    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.

    Nobody likes confrontation, but sometimes a situation leaves your at your wit's end and calls for it. It sounds like your reaction, including the shaking, was totally normal!

    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:

    If you can't appreciate that film for what it is there's something wrong with you.

    Not been dressed correctly for the weather.

    And the weather been so unpredictable!

    People overusing Father Ted references. "Careful now", "Down with this sort of thing" had a brief moment back in the 90s. Not nearly as funny or witty as people think.

    The near 100% certainty that someone will quote this message with "Careful now" as their reply.

    I would say he is just trivially annoyed:D

    I have not seen it yet, and am looking forward to it. But suggesting there is something wrong with a person because they dont like it is a bit OTT, no?

    Numpties. God-forsaken Numpties driving on our roads!

    Speed-Camera Van was pulled in ; driver was out of the van with the back-door open as he was cleaning the back window for good camera view.

    Stupid numpty driving in-front of me sees van last minute and slams on the break. We were all only doing 80kph at that point. The camera, even if the door was closed and camera operating would not have caught our convoy for speeding.

    I'd to pass this numpty thanking God no-one was driving toward me or I'd have the car tailgating me, banged up in my backseat!

    Stupid Numpties driving,

    Saw somebody leave this comment on a celebrity's instagram picture.
    if u could respond to me I'd literally die!! Ur so inspiring

    I literally don't understand people who say these type of things to people on social media. Similar things include beginning for a RT / follow back etc from a celebrity on twitter. They're a stranger who happens to work in the public eye! But a stranger all the same. Your life is not going to change by this stranger acknowledging your existence.

    Also, if I was the person in question who received the above comment, no way would I be responding to them. Wouldn't want to be up on a charge of manslaughter just for replying to a comment on instagram :D

    This. In text messages, when it's someone who knows you have their name and number in the phone, and you can see who it's from , yet they still put their name at the end of the message :mad:

    People super analysing the realism (or lack of) of a tv programme where the storylines are generally made for dramatic effect not realism.

    You can just tell that things wouldn't happen that way in real life, but that they're designed that way to create drama, and that if they did things the way things would happen in real life, there would only be a fraction of the drama and people would probably complain just as much about that.

    Get where people are coming from really TAs me.

    (not a personal dig, it's many people, and in relation to more than one tv programme.)

    Had to explain to my mam last week that Emmerdale is not real. She kept going mad that a certain storyline wasn't realistic enough. "Yeah, I know, Mam, that's because it's not real!" She was having none of it.

    Yep. It's like 'I know you know it's not real. I know it's grand to discuss the storylines, I like doing that too. But do you have to discuss it to the point that I start doubting whether you know that it's not real?'

    Saying goodbye :(

    My little sister is moving to Paris tomorrow for 4 months and I'm gonna miss her so much. I already said goodbye earlier and she cried and when I go to see her at 3am I'm gonna cry like a baby :(

    Bought some hair colour today that promised to give me flowing locks like Cheryl Cole. Instead I now resemble a piebald pony.
    I can't go to work looking this ridiculous so have to throw myself at the mercy of my hairdresser in the morning!

    People going on holidays to somewhere nice and hot and interesting.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    Brelfies. I didn't even know such a thing existed until 5 minutes ago, but once seen instantly annoyed.
