Trivial things that annoy you part 479

Ok, not everyone will get this, but here goes.

If you watch certain videos on youtube, or have been in a meeting with a screen attached to a laptop, then sometimes the presenter will use the mouse in place of a pen and write halfassed looking letters on the screen at a slow annoying pace.

Its never worked at any point in history and it wont ever work, its only there to annoy, that was the real reason for its invention.

So the presenter is blabbing away and then says something like ... 'Irish people on the internet' ... and then attempts to write it.

And you get something like this.

The ad with the pig, where yer man asks every question with "ye don't"
"Ye don't know anthin bout lookin after a pig?"
Phonecalls at home years ago, auld lad rings looking to speak to my Da, "He's not there is he?"
It must be an Irish thing, I've never heard it anywhere else.

Drives me spare too! People asking for something with a negative, "you wouldn't pass me the salt?"

That's the one that was on the Late Late a minute ago.

Bloody hell, the whole show is shocking, and I'm not easily fazed, but Jesus H. Christ, it's absolutely dismal, and now Ivan Yates?

At least Gay Byrne had Spike Milligan!

What really gets me about the likes of the Late Late Show, is the endless parade of RTE staff that appear on it. And then the every second week, one or the other of Ireland's only two impressionists, both of whom break the golden rule by saying things like "and now here is me doing Enda Kenny/Miriam/Joe Duffy"

Meave Higgins, a female Dara O Brien.

What?

Dara O' Briain is the greatest comedian by far to ever come out of Ireland.

I have never to my recollection come across someone or read a post from someone who didn't like him before.

Gwynplaine · 31-10-2015 01:22PM

Text someone and they don't reply for 2 days. Viber or WhatsApp the same, you can see they've seen the message. Why?
Fcuking reply, it's only a simple question. If I ring you'll stay on the phone for half an hour.

The whole Halloween thing gets on my tits. In my day it was a few monkey nuts and trying to eat apples off a string or out of a bucket.

Its a whole bloody event nowadays...and I have a five year old who wants to partake in all that Halloween has to offer.

I know that makes me sounds like a boring old fart...but still!

This time at about 3 or 4 on holloween day. Its like it will never get dark. Ive been hyping the little one up to go trick or treating all day, its dragging in so much that i dont think she even believes me anymore.

About an hour ago she was all excited saying "cant wait for holloween", but just now she said to me "mam, its a great day for doing nothing".

Ya couldn't beat trying to get a bite out of an apple floating in a basin of water. Back in the day, parents could entertain their kids & friends at a Halloween for pretty for much no cost at all. Today, a lot of parents just foolishly buy into the over commercialisation of Halloween targeting their kids, like lambs to slaughter. These fools then invariably put pressure on the likes of yourself Menas. You need to find a like minded group of parents and maybe have an old skool, big fun & low cost party next year. Although my gut tells me, that everybody will be too busy keeping up with the Joneses to listen to you.

Nope, during the day (usually). I understand why they'd do this late or at night but it's now happening during the day as well

Sorry I'm late with this but about the pre-pay petrol, I've come across it in quite a few places around Ireland. I asked in one petrol station and was told it was an effort to deal with drive offs.

When I discover that someone eats food I had earlier mentally claimed. Very irrational, but the pain never gets easier...

Tomwaterford you are a genius. Maybe I'll just lock everything and then tell everyone I've kicked everything so nobody will eat it? It could result in all out war but I feel it might be worth it??

This is true....though you do run the risk of people covering what you lick in mustard as part of an escalation of the food dispute??

Really there's a lot to be said for tubberware :L

I was hoping this was a joke but then realised you are serious. Oh well it's all subjective I suppose but add me to the list that don't like (can't abide) him. I suppose it's an age thing as I don't get what passes for comedy these days.

selous · 31-10-2015 05:32PM

Ehh ditto for ahhhh me too, Is it he's waiting for applause when he says eehhhh or aahhhh, I find that annoying, but that's just me.

FallSilently · 31-10-2015 05:32PM

I moved here to Krakow at the end of summer when part of the tram system was out of action due to roadworks and a lot of lines were diverted, seems they've finished up today so now I have to relearn the entire bloody network.
