Little (or big) things that annoy you:

Neewbie_noob

Sorry if this has been done before, but I'm just curios about the little things that annoy people out here, let this be like a get it off your chest type thing :P But not to the same extent as the Ranting and Raving Forum, which everyone does not have access to.

My list of pet peeves:

1. Radical feminists
2. Slow Drivers
3. cyclists
4. people who show no pride in their country
5. people leaving milk out of the fridge
6. people who chew loudly or talk with a full mouth
7. when a set of double doors has only one side open and you walk flat into it (should be a capital offence to leave one side locked :P )
8. People who leave bags on commuter train / bus seats and get huffy when asked to move
9. People applying make up on train / bus
10. BAD PUNCTUALITY ARRRGGHHH

More to come :P

Can everyone please be courteous and avoid racism and sexism , I don't want my thread locked.

Can we keep it to everyday / common occurrences, no one off things, as this isn't a R&R or ARRRGGHHHH forum

The Garda helicopter hovering over your gaff with a spot light beaming down on you at stupid o'clock in the morning for a couple of hours, as happened me last night!

Feckin joyriders/burglars or whatever. :mad:

1. Is that just 'radical feminists' or feminists in general?

4. In your opinion, how does showing 'no pride' in one's country manifest itself, do you mean through critisism?

Perhaps we should all be unthinking, unswerving, little nationalists, 'my country right or wrong', is that the deal?

I think we've had enough of the first part of your No.8 - including pubs in Birmingham and litter bins in Warrington - following on from your No.4.

'I seen' instead of I saw, or 'I done' where 'I did' is proper.

'We was' instead of we were.

They're, their, and there, misused.

Taught where 'thought' is meant.

Alot...its not a word and hopefully it never will be.

Hunger in a world of plenty.

Islamic womens dress codes.

Noisy eaters, mouth breathers, intolerance and bad manners.

Girls wearing heels so high they can't straighten their legs in them.

It's Yea or Nay. Not Nae, not Nea.

Bad punctuality.

Living within my means, but being told the recession is our fault collectively for 'going crazy' with money. I didn't, so don't blame me collectively or otherwise.

Public, deliberate, and unashamed farting. Its not funny, its not clever, its just ignorant and rude.

Outside lane hoggers on the M50.

People who stand on escalators or moving ramps. Walk or stand aside and let walkers pass.

Slow drivers or non indicator users.

People who park on the road when there is a perfectly good car park nearby thereby blocking the road because they are too lazy to use the car park entrance or one-way system.

People who ask a 1000 questions or delay with small talk in long queues.

Owners of profitable shops who fail to staff them properly to avoid long queues at checkouts.

People who accept this as normal and do not complain to the management. It is the only way you will get the cheapskate owners to improve the service and reduce queues.

What passes for customer service nowadays in our banks, slow, slow, slow.

Poor or non existant signage on some junctions causing delays and near crashes. Local authorities love to blame drivers for accidents but dont take the blame for the confusion and uncertainty caused by poor maintenance, vandalism or overgrown bushes which can cause accidents at junctions.

Pedestrian crossings near roundabouts and on blind corners.

What are you talking about? Pride in your country could be anything from not littering and keeping it beautiful to being proud about sporting achievements .

They are his pet peeves. Do we have to have another Ireland vs. Britain thread?

Groups of people sitting beside each other and constantly talking in the library.
Bad punctuation.

Mouth breathers
People who put crap in the butter dish- there should be no beans in the butter dish.
People who make cultural references without seeing the film, reading the book, listening to the music etc
People who find out I'm attempting to give up smoking and blow smoke in my face.

I am surrounded by slurpers at work! One of them drinks about 10 cups of tea a day and also has one of those sporty water bottles which sounds like he's kissing it every time he takes a sip.....

People on Dart/Luas with their feet up on seats

If he meant people who litter the streets then perhaps he should have said so, I don't like littered streets myself, I wouldn't regard civic pride as being potentially dangerous.
Also, enjoying Irish sporting success - however difficult that is to do these days - is harmless enough.
I mentioned Birmingham and Warrington in order to jolt the OP and other potential nationalists out of their lethargy. Warm, wooly feelings of 'national pride' can very easily be manipulated by those who would seek to exploit them for their own nefarious ends.
However, his number 4 was "People who show no pride in their country", to me that's adversarial/ confrontational, how strong is his nationalism, and how strong are his feelings for those who don't share it?

If I were on an American, Greek, German or English forum, I would say the same thing.

Nationalism is a very dangerous and highly inflammable concept and should be handled with extreme care, so dangerous is it, that I believe the litter bin of history is the best place for it, along with racism, sexism and homophobia.

To be honest with you 9959, I disagree with you that his post was confrontational at all.

To me, he seems to be getting at the people who constantly down Ireland, never suggest improvements, just down it for the sake if downing it.

Nationalism is subjective. Some people reckon its just pot luck as to where you're born but to some it's more. Being proud to be Irish doesn't automatically make you anti British and I do think that mentioning IRA atrocities was rather unfair.

Lombardo86

1. Slow Drivers
2. People who chew loudly
3. People who you can't rely on to do anything for themselves
4. People in work claiming credit for something they didnt do.
5. People who stay late in work browsing the internet to make it look like they are staying late doing work (We know you're not working)
6. People with no respect.

That felt good. I hate all of the above.

This one im angry i left off my own list..

I dont know how it can be policed but it should be.

If you're smoking in your car anyway, why bother throwing it out the window you scumbag? Put it in the ashtray.

You already smell like sh*T anyway from smoking it in the car and sitting in the smoke so just leave it there and stop littering our fu**ing roads...

That one really gets me

Scum bags.

Was in traffic on the way home last night on the blackpool bypass in cork. 2 lanes of traffic on one side and 2 lanes of traffic on the other. I, and another car next to me was stopped at the lights. The lights went green and 2 lads jumped out of a jeep that was stopped in traffic at the other side of the road and ran straight accross the road in front of both cars.

Your man next to me blew the horn at them because he had to brake suddenly, and one of the lads stopped dead squared up and gave your man a hand gesture of the middle finger kind and shouted F*k you. The jeep accross the way beeped and the pasenger (another scum bag that may or may not have been from a certain community) Did exactly the same thing to the man in the car. They have their own sets of rules.

No f*kin respect for anyone.

expelliarmus

People who don't bother saying thank you when you hold the door open for them.
Lack of basic manners.

Brendan Grace - making money from the same stupid jokes for the last 30 years
Text speak
People who stand too close to you in a queue, breathing on the back of your neck

Cyclists who cycle on the road instead of the cycle lane. WHY?
People who dont indicate.
People who park their cars on the path leaving no room to get by with a pram.
People who cough or sneeze without covering their mouth.
The fact that my central locking has stopped working on my car and i keep pressing the button while walking away and then have to come back to lock it GRRR
People who park too close to your car and you barely have enough room to open the door.

I'm almost disarmed by your courteous, well-written post.

If only being "being proud to be Irish" and being "anti British" were mutually exclusive, then in the words of Sam Cooke,"What a wonderful world this would be"

I agree that as a whole his post wasn't confrontational, but I specifically mentioned No.4 in which I saw something that you didn't, so fair enough.

Good luck to you!

How can punctuality be bad? You're either punctual or you're not. You mean 'lack of punctuality'
You've guessed it, one of my most hated things is imprecision.

Taxi Drivers and their magical hazard lights.

Cyclists.

Old people who feel like they can just jump to the top of the queue at a bus stop.

F*ckers who sit on the bus in their big jacket and decide to open a window.

People who sit on the outside seat of the bus when there is nobody on the inside.

People who do nothing but drive around in vehicles in Halo games....they are online shooters FFS.

People who take up too much of the leg-room in the four-seaters on the Luas (there isn't enough space for two people opposite each other to have their feet flat on the ground, so stop stretching your legs right out and making me sit sideways just to be able to put my feet on the ground).

Constant tapping noises / constantly flickering lights.

Slow-walking groups on a narrow path. If you're going to walk that slowly, go in single file instead of four across so everyone else can continue on their way...

People who constantly don't reply to messages (or reply days later when whatever you were asking is no longer relevant).
