*small scream* When I buy a soft warm comfortable teeshirt or jumper, and find the manufacturers have sewn in a label at the back of the neck that is made of nasty, scratchy cheapo nylon with rough edges; and irritates my neck so I have to cut it off.

And whaddya know? they are very hard to cut out - tiny, close stitches - if you don't use a magnifying glass and a razor blade you risk cutting into the nice new soft fabric, just to get rid of it.

*snarl and sob*

Why don't they use cotton labels?

People that pretend not to know certain celebrities in an attempt to look cool.

Someone in the McGregor thread for example, you know who he is unless you live under a rock.

I was just about to post this same thing and I saw you beat me to it. What gets me is they go on to a thread about that person just to say "I've never heard of this person in my life"!

I imagine them getting on a bus and announcing "I've never seen any of you before! Just so you know you're all strangers to me!"

It's just such a weird thing to want people to know.

The word "cuz" and I mean this in the cousin sense.

"How's it going cuz?" "Looking good cuz". It's all over FB at the minute.
Maybe it's due to none of my cousins on either side of the family referring to each other like that.

I think it's ok for women to do this, you wouldn't be able to walk too far in heels or most other smart footwear. For men it seems a bit silly though.

People eating things wrapped in a crinkly wrapper, but who think they are doing it discreetly. Why not just take it out of the packet right at the start (might excuse it if could melt, but most can't)? Someone is doing it here, now, in the office. Aargh.

Speaking of people pretending not to know celebrities to seem cool...

A while back I was sitting down to lunch with the OH in Aroi, Limerick. Anyone that's been there knows it's small.

So the table next to me sounded like they were on a first date, maybe a second date. Kinda awkward, but trying to make conversation.

The girl is telling a story about her friends and mentioned they had tickets to foo fighters. He stopped her and asked who they were. After she explained he done the "never heard of them. Are they big?" routine.

Cringe inducing wasn't the word. She just stopped telling her story. Luckily the waitress came over to break the awkwardness. Very obvious he was lying.

That place is so small so you can't help but overhear. At the best of times I dont talk while eating if someone else can hear me, don't know why, but that day I was too embarrassed to talk

When you need to type a single letter and autocorrect changes it. I pressed O, I meant O, not I.

someone leaving near empty containers of whatever out in the open and not throwing them away. five pieces of bitesize shredded wheat in the box are no good to me, or anyone. neither is two teaspoon's worth of yoghurt, or the crushed bits at the end of the pringles, or a literal drop of milk, or to the point where I have to twist and contort the toothpaste tube within an inch of it's short life just to get a measly bit . if it's running empty throw it out.

It's a loan you take out to buy a cereal bar.

That ad for Hostelworld does my head in. Who in their right mind strips off b@llock naked and jumps into a lake with a bunch of strangers? Are they that desperate for business that this is how they entice people to holiday with them? Come to wherever with us and you will get to see a load of eejits in the nip. Tools,the lot of them:(

That does my head in, people eating biscuits at their desk, taking one out of the wrapper and then twisting the wrapper to make it hermetic. They can't cop that everyone can hear them.

The general nose pollution as soon as the sun comes out in Ireland. Although what's worse is the almost self-entitlement some people feel that they HAVE to go out to enjoy the sun, even if they have to work/attend class or whatever. I'm in the middle of doing a course, and the productivity levels have gone way down this week, as so many within the class feel it's they're god given right to extend the lunch break by 5-10 mins because it's a bit warm outside.

Call me an old fuddy duddy, but Ireland has a reputation for being obsessed with the weather for a reason, and that is encapsulated in it's worse in the summer.

I can never understand this either. Was on my way home yesterday and a man passed me in a car, all four windows rolled down and some god awful country and irish ****e blaring out of the radio. What makes these people think that they do this just because it's sunny?

I hate all this happy, clappy vibe in public as soon as the sun comes out. There should be a van driving around the streets with a loudspeaker shouting "stay indoors, skin cancer alert, stay indoors"!

Scumbags roiding under a bare white duvet in a green area beside a main road. Surrounded by empty cans of Dutch Gold.

People wearing board shorts and wifebeaters that are a size too small. Wifebeaters in general.

Why does warm weather always draw these people out?

Because they've got nothing to do, all day to do it and your taxpayer money is funding that Dutch Gold. They're probably working on making their next dole sponge baby.

Those VHI adverts are really annoying me and possibly a little bit dangerous. There is one advert where a women had breast cancer and said she called VHI and they said she was covered, correct me if I'm wrong but I think weather you have VHI or not you're covered for breast cancer.

I think you are only covered if it can be proven that the tumour developed after a set time after you have taken out a policy. If it is proven that the tumour was in your body but unknown to yourself at the time before you take out a policy, then go and take out a policy and are then diagnosed at a later date you are not covered.

Think I read that somewhere.

The point swimming was making is that you will be catered for regardless of insurance. No waiting list for cancer care.
