Trivial things that annoy you

And don't fret, there are others like you who still love that CD sound! Bloody compressed mp3 files, it just doesn't sound the same. I imagine this is how vinyl people felt when CDs came along.

Oh yeah, thread topic, the lack of CD usage annoys me, which is quite trivial.

Feck your CDs. I just buy the sheet music and bash the songs out passionately at parties. Everybody loves the guy at the party with the acoustic guitar. Everybody.

People that bring guitars to parties, unasked for. Instead of listening to decent music I've to listen to your squalling attempts at Wonderwall and some rebel songs?

You mean to tell me if you were at a party and I started playing 'Fields of Athenry' with the 'Sinn Fein: IRA!' chants and masterfully segued into 'Girls and Boys' and back to 'A Nation Once Again', you seriously wouldn't enjoy it!?!?!

Some people are fierce strange…

May have mentioned this before but people in offices who sing/hum/whistle to pretend they are all relaxed and stuff. Fuuck off you dont fool me.

Followed closely by those (usually women) who talk loudly to their co-workers for the benefit of others (usually in a fake yank drawl crossed with trying to be d4 accent)

old hippy

People who use the word "morans" when they mean "morons". Gahhh!

Dostoevsky

People who say less, when they should say fewer.
People who say amount, when they should say number.

E.G.
There was fewer people there...
There was a large number of people/things there...

I wish there was less people on here moaning about such a large amount of things…

I would dispute that, but first I should point out that I am completely immune to the smell of pig-shit, due to many long months excavating very old stock-houses on various pig-farms in the '80s where it was impossible, for one reason or another, to get machinery in. So, pick-axe, shovel and wheelbarrow it was. To me, the worst smell of all is that of our own, human, waste.

Wouldn't envy you that job. On the subject of being immune to smells, nursing has me nearly immune to human waste pongs!

The hair style of RTEs DAvid Davin Power ... Or is that a badly fitted hairpiece ??

The utter tools that stand behind the presenter or the person being interviewed on the tv. Made worse if they're waving or holding a child up.

Broadcasting from a racecourse seems to draw them like flies to shiite. Looking at Galway here, utter tossers.

But the Morans who live near me really are morons.

That reminds me, I really hate the way Brits pronounce the name Moran with the stress on the second syllable. I guess they're afraid that stressing the first syllable makes it sound like moron, but really Moran and moron are quite different.

And on the same subject, the pronunciation of Gallagher with a hard G and Mahoney as Ma-HONE-ey.

It's shocking isn't it? I'm not actually sure if he's being ironic by choosing a really bad wig or if he just has no style whatsoever

Considering they are responsible for the programmes 'Geordie Shore', 'The Hills', 'Super Sweet 16' and 'Teen Mom' I would have thought 'MTV generation' would be more relevant now then at any other point in the last 25 years.

All of those programmes pretty much some up what is wrong with the world:(

I'd strangle the fuucker! That and seanchaís (or seanchaithe if you prefer), I'm supposed to stop whatever conversation I'm involved in and listen in silence to them having a musical ****.

People on FB who can only post on a single topic...

I really don't need to know about another temporarily missing moggie in Co.Louth. Or Tipp. Or Wexford. Or a missing dog in Drogheda. Or a missing turtle in Templemore.

They should pronounce names as the person themselves would. Ask them first presenters!

I've heard Dylan Moran announced as Dylan mor-ANN also, which is not how he says it.

Both David O' Doherty and Ken Doherty pronounce there names in the standard Irish manner but then are announced on UK TV as DOCK-erty (less so for Ken admittedly).

What really grates is that a lot of sports presenters go out of there way to pronounce certain sportsman's names correctly, i.e as they themselves do e.g. Tim Cahill (KAY-Hill), Sami Hyypiä (Hoop-ee-ah), Jaap Stam (Shtum) etc. yet they completely ignore/guess others e.g. Tomás O'Leary (often pronounced Tom-ASS), Donncha O' Callaghan (quite often Dunn-Cha) etc.

bottoms gets knotted. Agony

Spending 5 minutes falling about the place trying to carefully put a pair of tights on, and then finding out after you've got them on that there was a ladder in them the whole time.

Our apartment is tiny - to get diagonally across it takes about 10 seconds. It's like pretty much every other dwelling in Japan.

So why do people let the ****king phone ring for nearly a minute? There's not way we could still by trying to get to the phone - we're either not there or not answering. So hang the **** up.
