    Yesterday morning while driving to work in very slow moving traffic, a flurry of movement caught my eye in the rear view mirror.
    So I looked back and seen that the lady in the car behind me was brushing her teeth! Brushing her teeth in the car.
    Then, immediately after brushing, she lit a cigarette, and smoked it without holding in her hand. She only used her hand once or twice to tap some ash out the window and ultimately to throw the butt out the window.
    Then, I was amazed. She started to brush her teeth again!

    My trivial annoyances from this:
    1. She is brushing her teeth while driving (well, sitting in traffic)
    2. She let most of her ciggie ash just drop all over herself
    3. This is the most important one....where was she spitting while brushing!!!! :confused::confused::confused::eek::eek::eek:

    I figure that was some sort of OCD thing, or at leat some sort of routine she has. I know that when I smoked, I always had to wash my hands after a ciggie where possible, but never in the car :)

    Late reply, but can't sympathise more. I went for a relatively basic but handy enough job as a service officer in the Civil Service last year - spent a week writing & tweaking with the application form to get it as well written as possible, another week prepping for the interview I got, then €200 on a badly needed suit. Also figured being in the Army Reserve would stand to me a huge amount, and the interview went very well. Got the rejection email a week later. Fking livid I was.

    That's crap alright :(

    Is there such a thing as a child sized mincer. I would like to plonk the chubby young one from Fair City in to it. Little witch drives me nuts! And they always seem to be feeding her sweets and chocolate.

    I wonder who she is related to in RTE?

    She is an incredibly irritating chungwan. Johnny Ward is her uncle, and she is the daughter of none other than one Maureen V. Ward, who is also her agent.

    TV3 in general annoys me (Xpose...argh), but today's particular annoyance is the music from Ireland AM.

    It is so cheesy and dated, sounds like something from ITV circa 1991.

    Seeing the same faces on the election posters that were there 5 years ago but haven't seen them in the interim. All waiting to lick my arse for my vote Then they disappear for another 5 years.

    Misread as "same faeces" but it's the same thing right :-)

    And the same ads from sponsors each side of an ad break, and the same ads from sponsors each side of the news and weather... and that Desmond's smile that's actually an upside down smile combined with a look of self satisfactory...

    God I hate that show ha ha

    I had to take a bus this morning because of those self-entitled, over-paid lever pushing fúckers and all the annoyances of ghosts of buses past came back to haunt me. The skag standing right beside me puffing on her cancer stick, the fact that the RTI said due in 10 minutes and then 6 minutes later said "due in 8 minutes" and so on so that eventually a bus that was due in ten minutes took twenty minutes to arrive. The fact that there was nobody at the stop for ages and then a couple of minutes before the bus arrived they all started appearing from nowhere. Fúcking rent a crowd - I'm convinced there was someone at the back of the bus stop in a van just offloading randomers. No concept of queuing of course.

    I did manage to play a few mind games with cancer stick lady while she sat on the seat though. I was standing out near the road and could see if anything was approaching, so every minute or so I would move out towards the kerb a little bit and take my leap card out of my pocket and look into the distance and then she would leap up in a panic thinking the bus was approaching :D

    You know that job that I thought I messed up because I couldn't answer the phone well I finally got a call back and I nearly messed it up again. Your man introduced himself from company x and my reply was 'yes I applied for a job there'. :o It threw him a bit and he stuttered but he recovered. I'm just so cold I can't think. I have no idea how I'm meant to answer phones all day when I can hardly carry a phone conversation without saying something stupid. :pac: I was on the phone to an insurance company a few days ago and it was a long call (40 mins). At the end of it I was wrecked and did say something stupid at the end.

    Bang...

    Junior Masterchef? Wtf. Ten year olds cooking "roasted cod wrapped in ham topped with a sun dried tomato accompanied by salted rosemary potatoes and broccoli." How dare those talented children make me feel bad about my mediocre cooking skills.

    Looking for a job and discover one in the local paper that looks great except it doesn't say where it is and only has a box number to apply to. Why would any company do that? Surely an ad in the jobs pages gives the impression that your business is doing great. Is this a reputable company? Is it within walking distance or would I have to take 3 trains and an ornithopter to get there in the mornings? Who knows?

    When ya spend 6k on an engine rebuild and there's a "glitch", which only happens after a long drive, but can they find the fault, not a chance, only seem to suggest new stuff that will cost me money, not any of the work that they done. :mad::mad:
    (I can feel a new thread being started for suggestions)

    Banging your head/leg/arm off a hard surface and wanting to punch someone with the anger.

    I put on tan and have to wait an hour to rinse it off but I am so tired and my eyes won't stay open. Such a stupid problem!
