Driving home from work today and I see a car at the roundabout holding everyone up and telling them to go around him. I got to the roundabout and he pulled out in front of me. A minute later we come to another roundabout and the absolute idiot stops at the top of the roundabout and gestures for me to go around him! To make matters worse, it was on a hill and I conked out like a twit. What the hell was he thinking stopping to have a look around at the bloody roundabout!

And people who drive at about 6 kilometres an hour on a 100kmph road. Hurry up you snail!!

To be honest a lot of drivers are oblivious to what is going on around them, I don't know whether they don't care about the wellbeing of other road users or are they unaware of their obligations under the rules of the road.

Oblivious is a good word, I was driving up the N7 this morn, (5.30ish) a Renault scenic driving in the second overtaking lane (third one) for ages, no one in front or beside it , I was in the left popped the indicator on to overtake a lorry as I did the Renault decided to move left, no indicator just moved over, frightened the sh1t out of me :eek:, beeped it overtook it and back into the left lane and it moved back into the feckin third lane again, where's the traffic corp, when you want it..:mad::mad:

Annoyed that my new laptop is already refusing to work and just has a black screen all the time. It's like a week old. Please don't die on me so early!

FNL and Sons of Anarchy are the two I've noticed so far, finished FNL and it's so brilliant I pretty much put up with it, the Mrs. is into SoA so it's only on in the background.

Also, I'm trivially annoyed you haven't seen FNL yet, it's fantastic.

wasnt FNL out years ago ???

It absolutely infuriates me when you're on a 100kmph road and someone ahead of you insists on doing 80kmph, or 70kmph, or 60kmph, or else they're a tractor or other slow vehicle, and so you're stuck behind them, and sometimes a long line of traffic builds up behind them - AND THEY NEVER BOTHER PULLING IN TO THE SIDE TO LET US PASS!!

How about, every ten minutes or so, since you insist on going so slowly, you pull in and let the rest of us pass by?! Fine if YOU want to go that slowly, fine, go ahead, but I always think how dare you FORCE the rest of us to drive at this speed too!?! when you have plenty of opportunities to pull in and let a few of us pass by!

It is the absolute height of ignorance and arrogance and always boils my blood.

P.S. You saying "Hurry up you snail!!" made me laugh

Why is it that the dopes that drive at 60 on a main road suddenly speed up on approaching a roundabout, where they are actually meant to be doing 50/60 ?? I
see it the whole time on the main road into town. Infuriating

Why is it that most shows featuring cooking is it that the concept of wearing any form of hat or hairnet is totally foreign.

I would loooove to be a traffic garda for a day. The amount of dumb asses I would pull over for basic bad driving....

galljga1 · 10-09-2015 07:49PM

TAed today at overweight men in Liffey Valley stuffed into skinny jeans and tight Ts. No mirrors?
But whatever about that, I really hate the men who actually fit into these clothes and look good. Ba$tdards!

Going to the local pool on the women-only night only to realise that the session is a complete and utter free for all - no lane marked at all and absolutely impossible to get any sort of a decent swim in. Seems like they think that women are happy to aaccept mediocrity - newsflash, I'm not.

Never found Dara O'Brien or however you spell his name to be funny not even back in the Buzzcocks days. Everything about him irritates me.

We also get people applying to do a PhD in the lab I used to work from. Some people expected to be handed the job. Out of 23 applicants only two read the papers involved. Another girl wanted me to help her prepare for an interview. I was in a cafe 5 mins walk from her when she text asking to meet. I told her where I was and she replied "too far"!!

I really think some of today's generation is spoiled silly.

Not today's generation

but applied to a PhD last year and after getting an interview spent about 2 weeks reading up on the area and through the groups papers and associated topics.

Didn't get it probably because the spec which said "comfortable/familiar (something like that anyway) using computers/IT" actually meant knowing SQL, python* and R.

So my TA is being reminded of those time wasting b@stards that don't write up a proper role description.

*may have been Mathlab they would have liked rather than python

your driving along a national road, speed limit is 80 km/h, your behind a car, who's doing 70-75 km/h, no big deal, your getting where you are going.

You see a Garda speed check ahead, so the car in front decides "better slow down to 50km/h, just in case"

I am trivially annoyed at how the presenters on Shannonside-Northern Sound pronounce "Northern" as "Northeren".

In an Aircoach trying to get to the airport, but Dublin centre is a log jam of Dublin Buses. Why are all the buses being funnelled through just a few streets, half of which are closed for LUAS works? Looking around College Green / Dame St. Area, easily 40+ Dublin Buses, all blocking each other.

degsie · 11-09-2015 09:15AM

Drivers not knowing they can use bus lanes outside of the posted hours. Grrrr.

Taxi drivers giving out to you for using the bus lanes when you are perfectly entitled to..

What are those? · 11-09-2015 09:55AM

slow people walking on footpaths that dont let you overtake them!
also people with buggies that dont even attempt to make themselves less of a nuisance mainly in shops around christmas etc blocking up whole aisles
