    It annoys me when people take their personal opinions and try to "start a debate" on them, by putting their opinions as questions. A couple of examples to illustrate:

    From The Guardian's Opinion section (easy pickings): Why are Americans so much better at making podcasts than the British? Note how the title assumes that the writer's premise is correct - that American podcasts are better than British podcasts . I would dispute that, since whether a podcast (or anything else of that sort) is "better" depends on what you want from it. I personally find many American podcasts to be too long, for example.

    Thread here on Boards: Should Civil Servants Be Banned from Buying Alcohol? It's phrased as a question, as if the OP wants to start a debate, but in the post itself there is no debate: civil servants should be banned from buying alcohol. Is there anyone else who cares about this "problem"? See the responses on that thread for the answer.

    A debate requires two sides with opposing views to be actively interested in the question. In these "debates", the two "sides" consist of (a) the person with the opinion, and (b) everyone else going "meh". :cool:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    You can be sure the poster in question no more wants to start a debate!

    The RTE Guide has Deutschland 83 scheduled for 10:30 whereas it actually started at 9:30. Rotten bastards!

    Forgot my password into My3 Account so reset it using the Forgotten Password facilties.
    Ended up needing to create a new password with at least one capital letter, between 6-10 characters and at least one number.
    Took a few tries but I managed to get the bastarding thing to finally accept my new password... which I'll probably forget again. *sigh*
    I am also out of peanut M&Ms. This displeases me.

    I bought a new cabinet for my television. I measured the base of the telly with a measuring tape before I went to the furniture showroom. When I got there, none of the cabinets were the right size, so the kind assistant showed me some of them in the catalogue with specific measurements included, and I picked one out. The cabinet arrived, and I eagerly unwrapped it. Then I discovered that the top of it was not square, but hexagonal shaped, and the damn television was just too big for it. It would have fit if it was rectangular. Very annoying

    On the sports segment of the news the other evening I saw highlights of young McGregor taking part in this big-noise final of the Puckin' De Lug Offa De Fodden Sham contest, I think it's called. What the deuce was all that about? The other youngfella staggered towards him and appeared to fall over his own feet, or something. I don't think anyone actually hit anyone - at one point early-on McGregor did throw some sort of Muay-Thai hoof at your man's left leg. That aside, I have had worse savagings from sheep. This has since been proclaimed the greatest thumping or something since the Rumble In The Jungle. :confused:

    It's an annoyance of mine when people go out of their way to pretend to be uninformed about a major sporting event.

    Sorry Jim, there's no way you know what Muay Thai is but not the actual name for the organisation Conor fights in.

    That was levity. Facetiousness. Humour. And regardless, I seem to be having difficulty mustering even a fraction of a fcuk which I might then, theoretically, give. Good day to you Sir! :D

    Unfortunately, the true art in not giving a **** lies in not replying in the first place. :cool:

    Drove 5 hours on the motorway yesterday and the amount of people that sit at 110km/h in the overtaking lane drove me nuts..

    Overtake and pull back into the inside lane. Simple.

    If a Goose sitting on his hole in the forest doesn't give a fraction of a fcuk but there's nobody around, does he really give a fcuk?? :D

    My Dad's constant smart áss comments about my vegetarianism. Asking "what do they serve, air?" when I tell him about a vegan restaurant. Yet if I say anything smart about flesh eating he tells me I'm on a high horse.

    Plus I am getting sick. Ears popping, throat sore, high temperature. Normally I wouldn't mind as this usually hits me at Christmas so am happy to get it out of the way early but the feckin thing has been threatening for a few days and I have a black tie event coming up. If it would just start now I'd be over the worst by then but it's just sort of gradually worsening but I know the worst is yet to come :(

    Or people who have one giant hair growing on their face (usually women and usually on a chin). Just one, like an overgrown feckin pube. I have to sit on my hands to keep from attacking them with a tweezer.

    I do wonder where people like that get the energy and motivation to keep this kind of thing up. :pac:

    The fact I usually doubt myself so much about whether I left straightener/curler plugged in or candles lit before leaving the house.

    The tights I have on today are the wrong shade of grey for the dress that I'm wearing. I'm TA'd every time I look at my legs.

    Oh no, lowercase acronyms! I find them annoying, especially if they look like another word, or potentially like a typo (on, of?) and me wasting precious micro-seconds before realising what was meant.

    My apologies :o

    Me too. I just get this thought that I can't remember unplugging. It's happened me before in taxis and I say to my husband "shiit I can't remember if I unplugged the hair straightner" and then we end up getting the taxi driver to go back. Every time I've done this it was never actually left plugged in :) It does TA me but I think it TAs my husband more :p

    Dentist.

    If you're anything like me, it sounds like your wisdom teeth. I had an intolerable pain that covered half of my face and spread as far as the top of my head, inside my ear, the back of my eyes and as far low as my clavicle. I couldn't bear even a breath on my jaw, let alone anything touching it. The moment I got the tooth out, the pain went too.

    Good luck, toothache is excruciating.
