Things that really bug the sh*t out of me.

Mossy Monk · 10-04-2007 10:32am

What is annoying me right now are the insurance ads that plague daytime television.

FlutterinBantam · 10-04-2007 11:46am

Skangers who say "seen" instead of saw, "done "instead of did,and people who say "The person that's living in that house" iso "The person who is living in that house"
People who cannot be bothered to make an effort to use grammar correctly.

Grrrrrrr.....lowlifes!!!!

Do you mean the Allianz ads? That wanker in those ads would try and sell sand to the Arabs by the looks of it.

clusk007 · 15-04-2007 5:41pm

The word 'like' annoys me. Why do people have to use it in LIKE every sentence!

Oh and the top news story being Prince Williams split from his gf. Cop on..

AGREED!

This should be banned, best way would be to petition a shopping outlet like Dunnes.

I find it very arkward and uncomfortable, its usually not even a charitable organisation, just some random school that want money to go do some activitys.

I don't really mind charity baggers, but I always pay by laser, and rarely have any change on me, creates an awkward situation

On that note I bloody hate people that pay for trivial little things with debit or credit cards and students that do should be tarred and feathered.

Let's say Gerry Ryan is on the radio talking about monkeys that eat their own faeces, and you were 'only just talking about that', in a drunken pub conversation the night before, well, that my friend is not Ironic, it's just a simple coincidence.

3. Bible belt Christians.

These people truly are the most despicable, hypocritical, small minded bunch of people on this planet. If you don't eat, sleep and sh1t like them, you are going to burn for all eternity in hell.

I wonder how many of these 'moral' clean living people would classify Hitler as an evil man. :rolleyes:

4. Daft Dave

A message to Right Price Tiles management: Because of that annoying bastard, I would rather walk naked from Turkey to Dublin with travertine on my back than cross the threshold of one of your stores.

5. TV licence ads.

RTE keep warning us that one of these days, the wolf will knock on the door, catch you without your licence, and your family and friends will disown you with the shame of it all. They bombard us with scare mongering ads to make us believe the Gestapo are patrolling the country ready to haul in the non compliant
BULLSH1T. There is more chance of you getting hit by a runaway speed boat while sunbathing on the beach, than there is of a TV licence inspector arriving at your door. And, even if he did, I think I could just about survive the 'shame' of it all. My advice: don't get one in the first place, then they won't hound you with letters to renew.

6. Skanger city centre young wans that wear pygamas outdoors.

WTF is this all about? Girls, this is not a trendy fashion statement, nor is it an outward expression of your desire to stick two fingers up at the rest of society. It's simply ridiculous, and it makes you look like you just wandered out of a mental institution.

These fake, shallow annoying people really bug me. Why do they speak as if they've just walked off the set of Dawson's creek?
YOU ARE IRISH!! Stop speaking with an American accent. Oh my God, it's like, sooo annoying.

8. Rubbernecking.

It's a really pleasant experience when you're sitting in an hour of traffic on the M50, only to discover the cause of said traffic is an accident on the OTHER side of the motorway. People, unless a member of your immediate family is involved, don't fcuk my day up, keep your foot to the floor.

9. Calgon tablets.

"Washing machines live longer with Calgon"
The fact that this company has a market shows how some people in this country are devoid of simple common sense.
A good washing machine will cost you about €300, and will easily last five years without the help of Calgon.
They say, use one tablet in every wash and your machine will last longer.
Maybe so, but each tablet costs .30c, meaning if you had five washes a week, in five years you would have spent €390, JUST ON CALGON TABLETS!
Is this not blindingly obvious?

10. VIPs

Why should someone be considered a 'very important' person just because they followed a certain career path or were born into a certain family?
I mean, if my mother had the choice of pushing me or Bono in front of a train, I can guarantee it would be me visiting her in prison.
So, how come I can't get beyond those red ropes?

"1.7 Million Euro in grants to local sports clubs"

Here is just a few of the things that get on my goat:

1) Scummers walking around the city centre over the last few days with their tops off and their stupid strippy jumpers tied around their waists or over their shoulders. It's April for Christ sakes.
2) That shizzle thing that was mentioned previously.
3) The speed at which women go through toliet paper has been getting on my nerves lately.
4) The character Jack Stephens from Naked Camera.
5) George Hook.
6) Celebrity Jigs n' Reels.
7) Celebrity Jigs n' Reels + George Hook = :mad:
8) I'm sure there is a proper term for this but I don't know it but I really really really hate when people refuse to give a compliment or accept they are wrong or try and come out on top the whole time. Here is a few examples:
After asking for help:
"Thanks for the help even though you had to find out how to do it yourself"
or
"After informing someone of something interesting
"I read that article 5 minutes ago"

His initial gripe was for improper English. But of course he was incorrect. It's perfectly okay to use anal in the context it was used. Maybe he was hoping the longer, probably more correct version 'anally-retentive' was used. But that would have opened up a whole new can of irony.

People that snail along in their cars, especially the ones that hog the middle of the road so you cant overtake..
Just because you are content to plod along at 30Kph, doesnt mean the rest of us want to ¬_¬
Tractors are the worst offenders, at least have the decency to pull in so those of us queing behind you can pass you out..

Online advertising
So, you want to put up some advertising to help pay for your site, okay, fair enough, but we dont want to be swamped by flashing ads telling us that we are the lucky 1 millionth visitor or that our computer is not secure.. Guess who's sites I dont visit ¬_¬

People with big cars/SUVs, especially those that think they own the road
Obvious environmental effects asside, just because you can afford a Merc or a two-lane jeep, doesnt mean you suddenly have right-of-way where ever you drive..

Eircom
Thank you so much for being the sole reason that I cannot get an internet connection above 2Meg at an affordable price, if at all. Thank you so much for making my granmothers 85year old friend wait a whole MONTH to have her telephone line repaired after someone carelessly dug through it.
Hint: Telling an OAP that "its not our problem" when reporting the problem, is not good service. (they came out in an awful hurry when I threatened legal action).

He believes that shooting empty Budweiser bottles is an essential liberty, it's something he holds very dear :rolleyes: , (much more important than trying to curb the 477,000*annual gun incidents), and that no attempt should ever be made to try remove guns from American society. The sad fact is there are millions more nut cases in that giant asylum, who think and act just like this guy.

*To put in context, the equivalent of half the population of Dublin are maimed or killed annually in the US by guns. Still though, how else can they smash those beer bottles.

Probably because they are a successful organisation,who are not afraid to take risks and who ,instead of fcuking around like headless chickens, produced a state of the art stadium,before there was an actual requirement for one.

In short people who has a bit of foresight,to project into the future and who,when times were good,instead of adopting the "fcukin great lads,wel'l all have a singsong" attitude actually did something positive and the results are there for all to see.

Thats probably you you don't like them;)

You are very right with all of the above but why such a short rant? Surely once you get warmed up there must be way more things to add to your (excellent) list. I would suggest the following:
People who call their children by names such as Rocco and Jay for example. Your husband may well be a "popstar" and so a "VIP" but your kids are Irish and will never in a million years be able to carry off such names.
Daft Dave is annoying but its a photo finish with him and Harvey Norman and Barry Scott.
Calgon ads wreck my head, not just because of the irritating song and the silly maths that have already been pointed out but the way that woman reacts when she walks into her kitchen to discover its totally flooded and all she does is react with an "oh dear I'll just call the plumber" face. Most normal people would have a fit, rush over to the machine have a good look around and finally stamp off and call a plumber to be told that it will be 3 days before someone can get out to look at your problem unless you are willing to pay the emergency plumber fee of a gazillion Euro.
People who put things off until tomorrow, if you're going to do it just do it don't faff around.
People who don't know how to indicate at roundabouts. There are so many of these people out there and it annoys me so much I have to restrain myself not to run them off the road just to teach them a lesson.
Yes I do grind my teeth a lot.

Kids in the area playing football on roads and against walls...that noise is the most irritating thing around at the moment but at least they're not square-eyed looking at the box I suppose. It'll last til Halloween then they'll all get too cold to kick a ball at a wall every evening and all weekend. That's a whole six months away! :eek:

"Can you spare a minute for Oxfam?" No, I bloody can't!
Turn the corner, "Can you spare a minute for Oxfam?" :mad: :mad:

Ipods on full volume. At least have the decency to play music I like if you're going to sit next to me for half an hour! :rolleyes:

Teachers who don't actually like kids, nursing home care assistants who don't like old people, window pane fitting companies who won't bother with small bathroom windows (see earlier rant about football).....

Tesco "we will open another checkout if there are more than two people waiting". Hmph! What store actually does that?

Women putting on make-up in their cars....the green light means go ladies.

Orange tanned bellies hanging out over skinny jeans.

Businesses that still have their Christmas lights up but not turned on. Do they think we won't notice their laziness?

Election posters. Can we do withut them this time please?

Things that really bug the sh*t out of me.
