    Follow on from the TA thread, where my current mood is far beyond that. So if there isn't already one, we can use this as a 'Things that Pish You The Fuk Off'Things that more than trivially annoy you, like acronyms' thread, where more anger is involved!

    So to start, in the TA thread, I was annoyed that my Troubleshooting role is basically Admin now. Well, last week they got us to do more admin work, and now, tonight, we have to go back and double check all that work because they didn't give proper instructions last week! This is the third time this has happened since I joined just over 7 months ago that we've had to double check work due to incomplete/incorrect steps provided to us. I'm ready to hop the work provided laptop off the wall!!!

    Ignorant **** holes that totally block foothpaths with their car forcing pedastrians onto the street.

    You know the ones... Like they nearly make it into the driveway but stop just short, these are possibly the most selfish pricks that drive cars.

    Scumbags hanging around in groups acting invincible and making noise.

    Also, the joke of a judicial service in Ireland.

    And that i live in a 'rough' area instead of out in the middle or rural Ireland where i never see anyone.

    People that have to open & plunder new items before the old item used up.
    Bought new Hand soap bottle and placed behind older one that has approx 1/4 left. Just noticed yesterday that old ones be lasting ages... Ohhh house mates been using the newer one behind it as its 1/4 gone outta it... :mad: JESUS they are the same brand, smell, color use the older one first. I wouldnt mind its actually awkward to get at it due to it being behind the other one.
    Same with toilet roles, got a nice new pack of 18 rolls for house, placed it under whats left of the old packet (5 left in the pack). I go in to change bin alas old packet thrown to side and the new packet torn open as the 5 older ones were not good enough. Must have a best before wipe your hole date:rolleyes: I wonder if he was paying for them would he do the same;) Might have to stop supplying them.

    Stupid portmanteaus to describe things (Brexit for example), particularly grating when describing a celebrity couple (Brangelina, Kimye) :mad:

    As already mentioned, the judicial system, what seems to be, quite frankly a bias against Irish people.
    Reading the northern standard court pages A: a young Irish lad slightly over the alcohol limit.
    No previous. Car taxed as and insured , gets a whopping fine .
    B: foreign national . More over the limit.
    No tax , no insurance.
    3rd conviction for all three.
    Minimal fine and banned, like that's suddenly going to make a difference.
