Mr Sam, why have you piled the dirty lunch delph in the sink and not emptied the dishwasher?
Ans - I was roasting a chicken.

Now if it was on a spit I might understand..

When people spell "losing" incorrectly as "loosing", it drives me mental

The low life scumbags who attack the Fire Brigade & Paramedics on Halloween night. I just heard on the radio earlier a report of firemen being attacked with bricks and a paramedic crew had bottles thrown at them. What kind of gutter filth does that? They should be rounded up, put on an Island without food and just let them murder each other. It really wouldn't be any loss to society imo.

Did a mud run earlier, didn't enjoy it. The course was badly signposted, took a few wrong turns. There was no marshals on the course. There was hardly no one participating so there was no one ahead of me to follow. In the end I said 'f___ it' and ran back to have a shower. That's not what is annoying me. I washed my clothes and i forgot to take the number off my t-shirt. Most mud runs I've done you get some clips for your number but this one had no clips just a sticky back. Tldr my t-shirt is ruined. It's only for running anyway but it's still annoying. Hopefully after a few washes it might look better.

L plate drivers driving on motorways. They're not supposed to be there, but of course nobody is enforcing this. The cops are too busy shooting fish in a barrel catching drivers going 0.5kph over the speed limit on the Clonee bypass

TrustedApple · 01-11-2015 05:48PM

People who use public transport who smell of BO do they even know what a shower is ? and rude bus drivers !!!

Teacher23 · 01-11-2015 05:52PM

People reading my phone over my shoulder on the luas/bus/train.

PS This was just happening to me on the luas - he's stopped now though! I think he copped what i was writing! Mwahaha!

What's even stupider is that there's no motorway driving on the driving test. You don't even get the chance to go above 50km/h.

Passing the test doesn't really prepare anyone for going on a motorway does it. At least this person might have had an experienced driver with them and had that safety net rather than going on their own for the first time after passing the test

Maybe the car has more than 1 driver.

I hate the way RTE news on Drivetime reads the same news story 3 times.

First Mary Wilson introduces the news and gives us a synopsis of the story, then the newsreader will give their synopsis of the story and then the detailed news gives us the story.....before heading to the reporter who finally tells us the story.

MisterMagoo · 01-11-2015 06:16PM

A bit like the grocer's apostrophe

When they look at the papers in Ireland AM on TV3, they do the same thing, except after repeating the stories, they then comment on the photos on the front page, giving a synopsis of the story they mentioned 10 seconds ago, and 30 seconds before on the other paper, and 43 seconds before on the first paper, and all the time using the same phrases.

Its actually a thing they teach in journalism.
Tell the people what you are about to tell them.
Tell them
Then tell them what you just told them.

That drives me nuts too. Once is plenty for the synopsis, then the reporters on the ground. That's more than enough.

I am TA'd that the presenter of the show tells us everything, and then we have to listen again. AAARGH. Why Whoy???

Bought a fruit today that I hadn't tried before, a custard apple. I read online that the seeds are toxic so I carefully scooped out the flesh to use in a smoothie and threw out the rest. Of course, I could hear a seed rattling around in the blender then.

It broke into many pieces too. I didn't feel like testing just how toxic they were, so it went down the drain. So annoying! At least I tasted the fruit before mixing I guess.

Saoirse Ronan's accent.

It just sounds too put on!!

Another thing that really annoys me about RTE.

Lunchtime News on Radio - live report from our Crime Correspondant Paul Whatshisname.

Paul doesn't tell us anything new. Nothing more than we have heard in his previous report. RTE just showing off that Paul is live and on the spot. Paul just repeats everything he just told us a few minutes ago.

Not just Paul, all the live reporters do the same. There is only so much you can drag out of a story.

Back to work tomorrow after 10 days off,I cant put in words how bad Im feeling and the wine isnt even numbing the pain.:(

Aineoil · 01-11-2015 09:41PM

I know it's trivial but it annoys me when other work colleagues greet me with "Well...?"

What's that supposed to mean?

Just get the L plates and straight off the ramp over to the middle or right lane.

Seen a car the other day flying by me, it had both an L and a N plate on front and back,

Watching a Norwegian film on Netflix with English subtitles.

Still need to have volume at decent level even though I am not listening to it.

Ease up on the vino or you'll be going back with a headache.

You can thank me tomorrow

I hate those "I ate my kids' Halloween sweets" videos. I find them distasteful and exploitative. One girl nearly had a stroke and smashed up the kitchen. It's so ugly. Someone would want to have a word with the parents. That kind of publicity cannot be good and I'm sure the kids involved will be murderous over the videos in years to come.

Pedestrian crossings- why does it take so long for the green man to come on? I mean the ones in quieter suburban areas. Like the traffic has to be stopped at some stage so why keep pedestrians waiting so bloody long?

Speaking from experience as one who hated Sunday nights before work next day, ONE paracetemol and a fizzy vitamin C before bed was the business. (after a few glasses of yummy red).

Now that I am no longer a member of the working class lol, I love Sunday nights. Sorry
