    People who see you reversing and still walk behind your car, especially when they are dragging their children with them.

    People who say beers seriously. Its ****ing going for cans or drinkin'. Anyone who says beers is clearly a Trinity loser who made all their friends at 26 in the Gaming Soc.

    Never heard of anyone "going for cans" Eden tbh.

    Somewhat related though, anyone who refers to cans as tins or tinnys. I know strictly speaking they're made from tin, but come on!

    What are these "friends" you speak of?

    On a somewhat related note it's my birthday tomorrow and I'll be 26 and am heading to my local Gaming Soc for the first time. I saw it advertised on my Trinity newsletter. They said that we would go for beers afterwards :confused:

    Should I be concerned that "beers" and "friends" could be a bad combination? :eek:

    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.

    I have a friend and I actually counted his 'mobile uploads' photos.

    34 were his daily life. His wife and kids, his new car, a beautiful day at the beach. How many were pics of things he was about to consume? 36. Every pint, pizza, ice cream...

    New one.

    People sitting on the N11 doing 80kph in a 100 zone. Never have I more wanted missile launchers on the front of my car. Especially when they wake up and boot it as you try and overtake.

    But... that's what they are. They're beers. People go for beers and have beers. Like going for sandwiches. I'm confused.

    Disclaimer: I do go to Trinity...

    But the beer is in the can? you don't go for plates when you eat at a restaurant, you go for food.

    Are they losers because they got the points to get into trinity?

    Don't worry, one day someone who's not a loser might ask you to go for beers. Chin up.

    My trivial annoyance today: When you want a dessertspoon, but all the soup spoons and table spoons and one random tea strainer spoon are all in the same section of the cutlery drawer, and you pull out every other kind of spoon before the one you want.

    Think that's bad?
    I had to eat my soup this morning with a cheese grater for the lack of cutlery in my kitchen.

    My husband's cousin puts up lots of photos of her little girl on Facebook. I've no problem with this except every fecking photo is sideways, they all need to be turned 90 degrees but she never does it.

    Why bother putting up photos if your "beautiful princess" if people have to turn their heads sideways to see them? So annoying

    I hate it when people get petrol & then leave the car at the pump .. while they go in to pay. They should move their fecking car to the space provided in front of the store! I got stuck a couple of times waiting while the driver did the weekly shopping. Does this happen in bigger cities? or is it just a bog attitude?

    I can honestly say that I have never driven away from the pumps before paying for my petrol. I've always left my car in front of the pump and, tbh, I've yet to see any person drive away, park, and then pay.

    Throw it out. Odd freaky spoon.

    You can throw it all you like but the next time you open the drawer it will be back, waiting.

    I agree alright with the weekly shopping bit. Some people are just extracting the urine in that regard. I'd usually go in, pay, and come straight back to the car again and that's it.

    You mentioned being born in America as a justification for a term you used in a separate thread.

    You'll be happy to hear that pretty much everyone over there says they're, "going for beers" when they're going for beers.

    There's a great Des Bishop clip about that somewhere on YouTube. "Feck off back to Dublin" was one of the lines from the single-finger waving culchies to Jackeen drivers. hehe.

    Waiters/waitresses who interrupt your conversation to ask are you finished eating and can they take your plate.

    When I'm finished eating I'll put my knife and fork next to each other in the centre of the plate. That's your clue. When I'm not finished I'll leave my knife and fork apart. Simple, really simple. I was told this as a child. Are restaurant owners not telling their employees this basic piece of manners?

    Guess you must hate everyone then... :pac:

    Your logic is flawed anyways, so people are 'parking' at the pump to pay their petrol - so what?

    If they go to park in the small parking lot, and it's full - you got to wait still then ain't it?

    /derp

    Besides, most people use that small parking lot if they're going there to purchase something other than petrol...
