It reminds me of some pr*cks who still think they're in school/college.

They're probably being pretentious!

Just now I am in the library doing a horrible project on something I haven't got a clue about, I lug a ton of bukes around to get a place and as soon as I sit down do I realise that there is someone beside me and they are chewing audibly, nyom nyom nyom. It makes my blood boil:mad: .

1. People who put L plates on arseways.

Keep well clear of these imbeciles! I would recommend at least 200 yards. If these people are too stupid to perform correctly this most elementary of tasks, they are surely a danger to all other road users.

2. People who refer to simple coincidences as Ironic.

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. Yes, that's right, their all powerfull, all LOVING god is going to burn you, and 4.4 billion others in a big fire beneath the earth! 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.

7. D4 girls.

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?


End of rant.

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.

Students who think they know everything.

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?

Flushdraw

That bleedin climatecontrol ad that comes on challenge tv and is the biggest load of noise ever. Bugs the sh!t out of me.

Coupled with the fear factor and millionaire garth brooks question also on challenge makes it the most hated station for ads!

Oh and "I'll put you all-in"..AARRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

dame

People planning a massive wedding then expecting or even asking for cash gifts so that they can pay for the f'n thing. A little perspective people please. It's one day and you'll be lucky to bump into half the people there again within the next decade!

Brides letting it be known just how much their dress cost, which unsurprisingly works out at half a grand more than so-and-so spent on their dress for their wedding three months ago. Yes, you look lovely but you'd look just as lovely in a dress that cost half or a quarter of that or even less....



Signs in shops that have been spelled wrong, eg "brocli" which I saw in a shop yesterday.

Endasaurus

People who consider themselves vegetarians and yet have no problem eating fish or even chicken. I've even heard relatives describe themselves as "chicken vegetarians", the oxymorons.

Animals are animals, and if they want to be self-righteous they have to earn it first.

I think some people just want everyone to think that they are special and that they really care about animals, when obviously (by only eating "certain" animals) they really only care about themselves.

5starpool

1. Noisy eating/drinking as discussed above.
2. People who use 'loose' instead of 'lose'
3. People who use 'here, here' instead of 'hear, hear'.
4. Really slow drivers.
5. Management speak.
6. Don Wycherly on the myhome.ie ads
7. The idiot at the end of the Jim Langan furniture ads on radio (.iEEE aggghhh!!!!)
8. Monday mornings.
9. Alarm clocks going off.
10. Not having the power to halt time in order to catch up on sleep that I need when I went to bed too late.

I think you can read my mind because these are some of the things that bug me to no end! And let me add one more thing to this list: stupid co-workers who drink the last cup of coffee and can't be arsed to go to the shop across the street and get another packet. Idiooooooooots! :mad: (As you can see, I'm very addicted to caffeine ).

bikini

1)Over use of the word rude
2)Mean people aka scrouges
3)Fake laughs

-Idiots wearing headphones in public places talking/singing really loudly - as if wearing headphones gives them a licence to do so. Or else they're actually stupid enough to think that because their voices don't sound that loud to themselves (due to being drowned out by the sound in their headphones), then neither are they that loud to everyone else. Dumb-asses.

-Yep, Don Wycherley's voice in the Myhome.ie ads is unbearable - there's a thread pretty much devoted to same on the radio forum. Although I think he's starting to address it - his speech isn't as slurred of late.

-That bloke who says "there's always a better job on Recruitireland.ie" at the end of the ad - grrr!

-And, of course - how could we forget? The wonderful human beings that are chuggers... *makes stabbing motion*

-Oh yeah, and those despicable TV licence ads, where people who haven't paid their licence are regarded in much the same way as paedophiles are. Whereas, in reality, people don't actually give a ****...

people who bring prams around shopping centres. the kids scream, the parents scream and my god i want to scream at them!

the phrases "me fella" or "me bird"

this thread was read out on FM104 last night! he listed a few of the stuff posted:D

Seriously? Sh1t.. I knew I should've complained bout something earlier.

People who throw things on the ground despite of the fact that there is a bin only a few yards away.

People complaining about things that are fixable and yet do nothing to even try and fix them.

Pigeons that aim right for your head.

Anyone small who is holding an umbrella. I've almost had my eye taken out by a few of them bastards.

People who stop to talk in the middle of a laneway, aisle, or anywhere that requires you to walk by them. Just because you want to have a chat, doesn't mean I have to be late.

When people are late for buses and bang and bang and bang on the door even though they know they wont open it.

The flipside of that is bus drivers who wont open the door for people.

I think my biggest pet hate is people who say they are going to do something i.e. give up smoking hash, cigs, and yet days (or maybe even hours) after saying it, they're right back at it.

Pherekydes

People who write noone instead of no one.

Drives me batty...

Endurance Man

Old people who seem to be in a constant state of bewilderment and shock >(, annoys the **** outta me.

Goodluck2me

people makign noises when they chew - its really the most annoying thing ever. heres a list i made earlier....

the word \\\"lege\\\", girls who describe themselves and their friends regardless of sex as \\\"lads\\\", marmite, nutella, the fact that fridges have lights and yet freezers dont, white people thinking they are black when clearly they are white, pretentiousness, people who dont understand poker and label it as some sort of gambling just because you are playing for money, people who write \\\"n\\\" for \\\"and\\\" and s for \\\"is\\\"- its just annoying, college exams, the fact that pubs in dublin which serve after hours are as difficult to find as something very small in a place very big and difficult to find small objects, bad grammer, people who think that just because you make an odd error when typing quickly that you cant type fats at all(this is an intentional error), stupid forwards about how bebo is shutting down and msn will cost a fortune if i dont forward this message, people who say i dont normally forward messages but this is important and you find out its just **** neway, gerbils, smoking, people taller than me, and also.... The fact that you can`t get decent bacon on america.
Bad beats... and A la LEtterman on his top tens.. the number one thing that i find annoying is - Exams.

mikemac

People who hammer lift buttons and the buttons at pedestrian crossings at an insane rate, maybe 5 times a second.

Folks, the lift won't come any faster and the pedestrian green man will activiate once the cycle is finished.

I agree. This irritate me beyond belief. Especially when you are in a busy shop and the pram is trying to meander through the rails and you are trying to browse while some little brat is wailing. I Hate when the mother stands there glaring until you move and allow her pass only for another one to come along 2 seconds later. I know i'm very intolerant towards mothers and abbies, bit shopping is a stressful business.

Simon201

Probably said it before but mine is those guys that sell the Herald on the Blanch m50 roundabout (or anywhere else) where they attempt to get to as many cars as possible before the lights change tapping on the front of the paper until you give them some kind response that you don't want a paper. Or perhaps you're stopped in a queue and he's up there 20 cars in front of you and you feel like you're in one of those auctions where if you just twitch your eye its gonna get immediate attention and he'll come running down expecting you to buy a paper! .... ggrrr!

homerjay2005

some good stuff on here, these are mine -

people who spend ages at counters/tils/tickets offices/bank machines etc and not give a F**k about the massive queue behind them.

people that speed on the roads - lets stick to the speed limits and we will all be ok.how many times have you been overtaken at speed by somebody only to be right behind them at traffic lights/roundabout a few minutes later?

people that go too slow on the roads are also just as bad, anybody that drives at 30 MPH on a main road,deserves to put off the road. these people never look in their mirrors and create traffic queues, which causes the need to overtaking = accidents. if you cant drive at the correct speed, then pull the f**k over!

people begging at cash machines but begging in general is not acceptable - get a job, like we all do.

pikies with tracksuits and peaky caps.

people who smoke

old fashioned work colleagues who are no fun and wont change anything because " that is not the procedure for that".

people who go out the night before and then call in "sick" to work the following morning.

as mentioned already, people who think they are from dawsons creek or the oc. Your f**kin irish, get over it.

Echelle

People who say the followng:
"I seen" instead of "I saw"
" I would have went " instead of "I would heve gone"
" vOilence instead if vIolence
and "height" does not have a TH at the end so the word is pronounced HITE. But for those who dont pronounce their "ths" at all this would,nt be noticed when they speak!
And a real bug bear is when girls get so emotional that they cry, but when they cry thet seem more concerned that their eye make up will run so they do this "finger on the eyelash thing" that all the phoney celebrities do when they feign emotion. Saw a particular example of this on Irish TV once when an obviously undereducated fake blond in the slapper mode ,ie the requisite pink ,won a prize on one of those Derek Mooney shows- she was all wiping her eyelashes "delicately" as she has seen on tv and going "ohmygawd" non stop.
Embarrassing.

zuutroy

People who dig up old threads FTW

gizmo

Two little annoyances...

People who queue in a shop for ages and either haven't made their mind up what they want or only realise when they get to the till that they actually have to pay for said goods and THEN have to get out their wallets and make sure they have the money for it.

People who don't seem to know what they're actually doing at an ATM. It's not that hard to have a wee think about how much you want to take out before you get to the machine itself, with that done its just a couple of buttons, its not the most complicated device ever invented.

Tchocky

Just skimming over the thread...

"here, here" - where?

"alot" - What?

"I would of" - ughhhh
