Barbershops that keep a fridge full of cheap beer and constantly shout about it on social media.

What? They give out beers with haircuts now.
That sucks for those of us who have not darkened the doorway of a barbershop since the mid 90s!

Guests that visit for a week, but spend the whole time sitting on their arse smoking and playing candy crush on any device possible all day. While you run around making food and cleaning and being a good host and bringing drinks etc. then when you finally sit down at 10 at night they tell you you missed picking up something!

F off! I've enough to be doing running after a toddler with out having a 60 year old teenager too!

I was going to put a contract out on Mesrine65 for posting that annoying ad.

But then I realised all wasn't as it appeared to be.:)

Or people who patiently stand in a queue and only when they reach the top do they start sorting out stuff like money or documents.

*tries on waistcoat*
"You're not supposed to button the last button on the waistcoat"

*tries on suit jacket*
"You're not supposed to button the last button on the jacket"

What the f*ck are these buttons here for then? Who decided this? Why not just put one less button on them? Is this some conspiracy with Buttons'R'Us to put unnecessary buttons on clothes? It's not just the button though, because the hole for the button is there too. This is clearly meant to be buttoned. Why can't I button this button which is clearly meant to be buttoned?

Who decides these things and why does everyone but me know them?

I thought you were only supposed to unbutton the last button when you sit down?

Sod it though, button up to your heart's content. They're your clothes after all.

I would button it all the way, I mean if you have a button fly you ain't gonna leave one button open.

The downside of the waistcoat is, when drunk and you go for a whizz, one tends to undo the waistcoat and piss in your trousers:D

I hate that word. It must have been some very special sappy twit, that came up with that 'bucket' list crap.

Explain to him calmly and rationally that if that tree is not disposed of tidily and quare lively, and your rent allowance not restored immediately, you will be phoning the Revenue Commissioners and telling them who you are, who he is, and exactly what the setup is, and they will shortly thereafter be auditing his pimply arse with an electron microscope.

Then phone the council (I think) and tell them a full tree was cut down, hedges and trees not to be cut before September,

Was in a coffee shop/café in Sandyford today it sold "handcrafted coffee" I asked for one, she put the paper cup under a machine which dispensed the coffee I put in the milk and popped a lid on it, where's the "hand crafting" in that?

The bar man does more hand crafting in my local small town boozer, boils a kettle puts in two spoons of coffee pours the water in then milk and stirs, now THAT'S hand crafted.....or am I missing something???

steddyeddy · 13-08-2015 07:07PM

I'm emigrating to England soon but one thing struck me in my last few months here. Nepotism is rife and people don't seem to be ashamed of it. Two people I know got a job in the civil service temporary staff because their aunty "got them in" in their words, another guy I know got a job in a hospital who was severely under-qualified IMHO and at a recent party some f-ing loser bragged that his mother is a big played in the TUI and he won't be stuck for a primary school job.

Seriously I worked bloody hard as did my English boss when he got to this country. Are people not ashamed to say they got handouts?

Christine LaDuchesse · 13-08-2015 07:14PM

I am very little, my husband is very tall. In the en-suite he never ever, ever, even asking him very kindly, very angry, very sweet, turns the showerhead to the wall after taking a shower. So if I want to take a shower, I have to step inside the cubicle to be able to reach the showerhead, stand on my toes and swing the showerhead towards the wall, or else when I turn the tap on, all the water will spill outside. Since I am very small, the swing I give the showerhead goes rather wildly as I can barely reach it when it is at my husbands hight on the rod. and ALWAYS a bloody ice cold drop of water falls on me.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

FelineOverLord · 13-08-2015 07:37PM

BBQ smoke stinking my washing up. I can't wait for winter, I'm so fecking sick of my South African neighbours and their sodding BBQ's. It's not even nice smelling stuff, I don't know what they use as fuel but it's awful.

Zanablue · 13-08-2015 08:28PM

The last couple of days my kids are driving me mad:mad: They keep arguing all the time. I feel like locking them in a soundproof padded room:p

Robsweezie · 13-08-2015 08:41PM

turning lights on before its even properly dark. pointless use of electricity especially in the long summer evenings like these. I wait until its near pitch black.

In the fecking tea is worse. You have about seconds to grab it out before it gets too soggy and breaks apart.

When my ankles rub off each other. There's something about that bone to bone touching that irks me.

Gets on my goat as well. "Artisan", "craft" "handmade" oh and the best.. "local".. A "craft" beer made in Kildare is not "made locally" if you are selling it in South Dublin.

If Ireland ever gets a Trade Descriptions Act like the UK has most of these places would be shut down or fined for making false claims.

Or when you try to grab it, you then end up with third degree burns to your fingers.:(

Okay. This particularly pissed me off tonight. It's 12:30am, and it has been quiet in my estate for a grand total of 60 minutes. My estate is covered, and I mean covered, in kids. I am not exaggerating when I say my estate has about 25 children in it at the one time.

The street I'm in is a small, cul-de-sac-type street. I can't stress how small it is but the road is a one-way road and there are a lot of houses squeezed in. There are a total of 75 houses in this small part of the estate, and a majority of the tenants are single mothers with a minimum of 2 kids. One family across the road from me have 3 cars and 5 kids between them, all younger than 13 by the looks of it.

Here's what I'm getting at. My estate was full of kids screaming and shouting up until 11:30pm tonight and it drove every dog in the estate bonkers because of it.

Can you even call this trivial? It's driving me absolutely mental!

The sooner I get an apartment the better.

But I can't exactly blame it on the kids alone. Why are the parents letting their kids run around screaming, kicking footballs and flying up and down on bicycles until that time of night? Oh, yeah. It's the summer holidays I get that. But for the love of god, HALF ELEVEN?! UNDER THE AGE OF 10??

nicki11 · 14-08-2015 12:23AM

I'm having a tough time my roommate took my pyrex measuring jug and I havn't seen it since and since it was so useful I don't have another one and can't find a decent one anywhere and my OH keeps wanting me to make stuff for him that require one, so foods been a bit hit and miss which I used to take pride in.

Went out for dinner and drinks with my team from work last night and the boss kept ploughing me with drink; topping up my glass every time it got low, ordering cocktails, etc.

In work this morning and I'm still basically locked, had about 4 hours sleep and the rest of the team have the day off! :eek:

I have work to do and I can barely see straight.

FelineOverLord · 14-08-2015 09:58AM

Broken sleep. I've been coughing for over a week now and my sleeping pattern has gone to hell. Back to the doctor for me today to get a second course of antibiotics since my chest is still wheezing away.
