Trivial things that annoy you

Your device isn't powerful enough to run the latest apps. I don't really know what you expect apple to do about it.

It was powerful enough a few weeks ago! I don't need the latest version. I'd make do with an older version as long as I could use it.

If they just stored the older versions of apps you could get as an alternative to the newest latest everything only, that would be perfect

Another thing that bugs the crap out of me is the RTE guides obsession with the fricking Allen family. The daughter seems to be on the front of it at least once a month. Daddy got caught with child porn, then there was the to do with animal welfare at the cookery school, yet they can do no wrong with the editor of the RTE guide.

Seeing the unholy trinity of Granny, Mammy and Daughter Allen on this weeks issue has pushed me over the edge. I'm never buying it again:mad:

Yeah I wonder what's Rachel's opinion of the whole child porn scandal....I wonder does grandad get invited over for one of these family dinners shes always on about?!

Meanwhile......I hate ppk in queues who move along 3cm from your neck. Yes I realise you're next, but you'll still be next two feet behind me!

I really hate when you've just put on a nice clean top and then minutes later you drop something down the front of it. Did it this morning while putting sun cream on my face. Was wearing a dark top that I only ironed last night and had to change again:mad:

Sun cream????

People who don't read the thread. Especially annoying in threads such as the Fantasy Football where people ask repeated questions about the rules. Either a) Read the rules or b) Read the thread. Stop being lazy dog**** C-units.

Apple in general annoy me. I can no longer download the majority of available apps on iPod because it's too old apparently (2nd gen itouch). I mean, I gave them my money when I bought the thing, the least they can do is make apps available to all generations of their products.

They've stopped supporting the iphone 3gs now as well, got one and its gone wonky? tough. they won't even deal with the query.

I hate when I get into my car in the morning and the windscreen wipers come on as soon as I put the key in the ignition, because I'd left them switched to 'on' because of the previous evening's rain. Makes me feel angry and stupid for not anticipating!

The wipers in my car start up as soon as I turn the ignition, even when I have them switched to 'off' when I was last driving. Worse still, they stay on for a full minute even when I push the switch down, so I pull off with the wipers crawling inelegantly and loudly up and down the windscreen and doing my bloody head in!

I hate it when I walk up to traffic lights with about 8 people standing at it and finding that not one of the bastards have pressed the button. I feel like whipping my cock out and spraying them with hot piss.

I hate it when I'm waiting at traffic lights with the button I already pressed lit up, and someone else comes along and starts pressing it. Especially the ones who press it twice or three times. Wow, thanks. I was just going to try using the power of my mind to change the lights.

I heard something about that on the radio the other morning that pressing the button only works between the hours of 12am and 7am, and that during the day even if ten people come along and each presses the button, it makes no difference because the lights are automated or something...

I'd love if somebody could clear that up because the amount of times I've been stood at a pedestrian crossing and people think I must only be standing there practicing to be a Jedi... I mean... I pressed the damn button already, your child doesn't need to hang off the pole and press it another ten times!

Woven polypropylene coal bags. You think you've got a nice big shovelful of coal ready to go into the fire when lo and behold there's a loose thread tangled up in it and it's all over the hearth.

Operating systems modifying the system clock. Installed OSX and Windows and Linux go back an hour, very disorientating.

When watching sport.
Player A absoloutly clocks player B.
Player B goes down.
Then player A immediately puts his hands up in the air claiming his innocence.

True I was at a pedestrian crossing lately, and a guy hit the button about 20 times, in succession. Nothing much happened...

When you're eating and you look up to see the person across from you staring at you. This drives me fupping nuts!! I can't eat if you are watching me :eek:

People who will cross the street 10 to 20 feet away from a zebra pedestrian crossing whilst walking in the direction of the pedestrian crossing, for f*(k bloody sake, they are not road decorations, they are there for a reason.

What really annoys me is when radio presenters talk over the intros or endings of really good songs, it totally ruins it!

Why must they persist in ruining them?!? :mad:

The very American misuse of the word 'like'.

I'm like miles away.

That was like years ago.

There was like a hundred.

The Cork misuse of the word is very endearing, like, but the other way- oh my, no.

Yep, I hate when that happens with coal bags, especially if it's raining and I'm rushing while my back gets soaked. We lit the fire last night for the first time since March. I've missed having an open fire.

People in their new cars afraid to drive them.

Don't buy a brand new car if you're afraid to go over 40km/h in it.

Unfortunately it's very prevalent in Ireland too. Some people even write it.
I just read a post in another thread that said...'I was like 17 when I read that...'

When you buy something small in a shop and they give you a bag when you clearly don't need a bag for it or already have a bag and they've already put the item in the bag so it's too late say you don't need a bag.
