    Having to race out the door when you then get the urge to go to the toilet.

    Same when you are itching to get started on building an ikea wardobe - then toilet calls.

    There should be a special place in hell reserved for people that say "Speak your truth" or "Be your best self".

    Drivers not indicating. I don't like having to chase them down and ram them into ditches.

    Have you gotten THAT lazy that you cant allow your fingers to brush over the indicator as youre turning, you know, seeing as they're already within nano centimeters already?

    Drivers who just merge into your lane without looking to see if there’s anyone in it

    Drivers who leave it until they are turning to indicate. FFS, I can see you are turning by now. Indicate, brake, turn not brake turn indicate.

    Giving them maximum leeway here! I dont believe many people know how to use indicators on roundabouts. Its gotten so bad lately I dont even trust people with indicators flashing, I need to see where theyre going. Had a few misses with people indicating the complete opposite way they were turning!

    when you are looking to buy something out of the ordinery so you google suppliers. you click on the links and it brings you to company websites but you cannot find any of what your looking for for sale.

    +1 to this. Once someone was indicating as if they were pulling off the roundabout, grand says I, off I go. Then they kept coming, and beeped me as if I was the one in the wrong :confused: Learn to use your indicators people!!!

    What I hate is when I'm at a roundabout and I have to wait for people (idiots) who don't indicate to drive on and go where they're going (even if it means missing my chance to go through), and the people (idiots) behind me beep their horns because they want me to move anyway. Look, it might be MY right of way, but if I don't know what THEY are doing, I'm not going to risk an accident just to make a point! And waiting one extra second is hardly going to kill you, is it.

    So I'm in work with my boss gobsh1te and we're under pressure.

    Gob****es been giving poor instructions and generally being a wanton prick about the resultant confusion and delay.

    Gobsh1tes waiting on me to fvck up and causing me to choke from the pressure of not wanting to fvck up, thus causing me get distracted and so fvck up.


    Anyway, gobsh1tes standing 10 feet away from me, at right angles, on a slightly raised surface.

    Gobsh1te: ''do you see that thing over there''.

    Gobsh1tes hand flashes up and then back down, with the speed of a Vegas card magician. One stubby knobbley bent finger pointing in a vague direction.

    Gobsh1te: ''move that thing over there''

    So by now I'm on edge from all the previous miscommunications, not wanting to ask, so I take a guess. wrong.

    Gobsh1te: ''are you blind, etc''.

    Just no description of what to move where whatsoever, gobsh1te believes that being that they're the center of the universe everyone else naturally see's what gobsh1te see's, from gobsh1te's perspective.

    Please, people, when you point at something, don't say 'that' ... the other person doesn't see through your eyes, and doesn't see a first person view of your extended finger.

    'that' may as well be a burp, for all the information it holds.

    They just see a lump of meat with a gobsh1te on one end.

    By the time they track the course of a moving, shaking, off target finger over several meters its about as good as pointing your arse at the object.

    Unless its a square meter in diameter, and separated on its own, well, pointing is probably absolutely useless to the other person.

    and 'that' is a meaningless word.

    do you see that.

    move that thing there over there.

    oh my god, as i type this i want to grab gobsh1te by both sides of the head and scream this thread into their fat bulbous face.

    i want to put gobsh1te into some kind of fatal 'Saw' horror puzzle scenario, where the answer is dependent upon my directions.

    And as gobsh1te desperately scrambles against time to grab the right key to remove the explosive box from their arsehle, and looks up at me to know which key to grab, ....

    i'd be standing 10 feet away at right angles, briefly raising my wiggling fingers and saying 'yeah that one over there'. the one to the right of that one under that one.

    This is the interaction I just had at my city centre doctors' surgery:

    Me: Hey I'm here to pick up my prescription?
    Receptionist: It's not here.
    Me:Oh, ok but I put it in last week and it says it's processed on the online order system.
    Receptionist: Oh yeah, its definitely processed so it should be here. Let me check.
    Checks with office manager.......
    Receptionist: Ok its in Finaghy. (surgery on the outskirts of Belfast)
    Me:Uh, why is it in Finaghy? This is my surgery. I've never been to the Finaghy branch.
    Receptionist: Dunno but you'll have to go there to get it.
    Me:Ugh fine, what time do they close in the evening? I'll go and pick it up after work.
    Receptionist: 1pm.
    Me: Right well I can't get up there for that time as I'm in work. Can you not get it sent back down here?
    Receptionist: Oh um eh well I suppose but it wont be here till Wednesday.
    Me:But I need it tomorrow.
    Receptionist: ........................
    Me:Fine, I'll come back on Wednesday.

    Not even a single apology or explanation for their **** up. I'm raging.

    I wish I could thank this more than once!

    I also hate when you're walking down a narrow path and you meet a group walking 2 or 3 abreast and none of them budge to let you by. You nearly have to shoulder barge them to get by.

    I see what you did there.

    Listening to an online radio here, DJ said it is now approaching 1PM. Didn't realise my stream had 10 minute lag. Has no impact on anything as only background noise. But it is a major TA.

    People bagging big huge shopping trolleys at the Aldi checkout.Move over there you eejit.


  • Registered Users Posts: 701 ✭✭✭bolgbui41


    People who don't understand the function of a door handle. Especially when the door leads to the silent study room of a library. There's even a sign on this door asking people to close it quietly, and still every second person lets the door slam shut behind them.
