It would be a crime not to buy three things I don't really need, when I'm only paying for two things I don't really need!

I'm saving money here ffs!!

Penney is a black hole from whence there is no escape. Too many cheap things that you don't feel guilt until they tot it up at the till.

I'm a sucker for reduced items, feel like I'm saving when I'm buying stuff I don't even want.

They may be pretty but they are most likely utterly gash quality. Buy cheap, buy twice.

In a restaurant and this woman's phone rang which was fair enough. She hung up. It rang 4 more times and each time she hung up. Why couldn't she have put it on silent or sent a text saying she couldn't talk instead of annoying everyone around her??

It's win win for the baby though, €3 track suit bottoms for the little man that he'll probably only wear 2-3 times anyway!!! On top of that a Micky mouse t-shirt and shorts for €5

Spent a bit too much money shopping today. Why have I got no willpower??

I've managed to cut back on it by only taking a set amount of cash with me and leaving my debit card at home.

My usual stylist is on holiday so someone else cut and coloured my hair last week. It looks great but what really annoyed me was that she didn't brush the loose hair off my neck or ask me if I wanted any serum or hairspray. Well it was her loss as I didn't leave a tip. My hair was blowing around every where when I left the salon.

At a funeral in Cork a couple of weeks ago, this auld bloke's (sitting next to me) phone rang during the eulogy. The THIRD time, he actually answered it. I couldn't believe it. The conversation went on for at least 2 minutes. People were turning around, tut tutting. I actually started to go red as if it was me that was the guilty party. Ba$tard.

I never cease to be amazed at the amount of ignorant idiots out there, who don't seem to have the cop on to turn off/silence their phones at these events.

The eldest girl is applying for a college grant again for another year, so I am ringing around asking for evidence of income. Jesus Christ it does my head in. Press 1 for this section, so I do, and then I am given another whole load of options. So I press the number for the one I want. Then it asks do I want the bloody section I originally pressed 1 for. Why yes, yes I do! I thought that is where I had gotten through to. Then I'm on hold as all operators are busy. Whatever happened to just being able to ring and speak to someone, and ask a simple question without all this palaver ??

Years ago I worked in a call centre that required callers to go through lots of options like that before they got to talk to someone. The thing was though, it didn't matter which option the caller selected, they would end up with the same team regardless. The only reason why there were all these options was so that calls could be delayed for a bit during busy periods, and callers wouldn't have to be on actual 'hold' as long.

Sorry if that just annoyed you more!

Grrrrrrrrrr!!

Scooters. I'm sick of the noise of kids thundering past our house on scooters.:mad: Fcuks sake, could they not just be locked up indoors 24 hours a day on their X Boxes?:D

Journalists/reporters laughing to anything a celeb/athlete says.

For example, just watched Andy Murray being interviewed by a journalist there and when she asked what he'd done in preparation for today, he replied "I watched a bit of Toy Story 2 last night, just chilled".
The journalist nearly broke a rib laughing.

Stop pandering to these people just cos' they're well-known; you look desperate.

The showers in the gym I go to always smell faintly eggy.
I don't know if it's the women themselves who smell, whether I'm smelling something....er...(well I'd rather not say), or are they just farting in the shower?
Bloody stinks.

I knew it- years ago I stopped listening and would just press #1 no matter what. Or when you have the voice recognition options- I would just shout "Bollocks" or "womens knickers" down the phone. Always got me through- in fact I still do it.

Not being funny but the drain could be full of all sorts of gunk (grease, stray hair, etc), or it could be bad water quality which is causing the sulfuric smell, could be the weather too, the smell that comes out of the sewers downtown in hot weather would make you wince!

Something that has annoyed me (and probably others) for thirty odd years now is something I am afflicted with.

Colour blindness.

I've went though life constantly mistaking brown for red and red for brown (snooker, love it, but keep having to track the brown ball so as not to give my opponent 4points for a foul is areal pita) . Blues and greens are also quite iffy for me (my wife gets good milage from it though). Navy and blacks I also can't tell the difference in.

Apparently I'm crap at choosing shirt colours too as they always tend to 'clash' according to my better half.

Lots of jobs have been out of reach for me, electrician and pilot to begin with and I cannot really be involved in choosing colour schemes for the house (painters just actually finished in our house) the only input I had was wanting the front door black.

I don't see in black and white, I just see colours differently from what non colour blind people see, and in fact I once even had a lecturer in college argue with me that (despite numerous colour blind tests) I wasn't colour blind, but I "just hadn't learned my colours"

What's most amusing about being colour blind though is when you're explaining to people that you're colour blind is roughly 90% of them will point at a random object and ask "what colours that?"

The other times when you get a colour wrong and people ask you "are you coloured blind or something"... if you were walking slowly, people wouldn't turn around and say "have you only one leg or something?"

People posting their horoscope on Facebook. Someone I know does this every. single. day. First of all, it's all rubbish anyway. Secondly, even if it wasn't, why would I want to read someone else's horoscope?

Hate this too. It's just another level of self obsession that you think people are going to take time out from their day to read your horoscope that's just made up shyte anyway
