    thankfully, I don't have to listen to sports journalists calling him 'Joe-a-Vani Tap -a-tony' any more ! Please let the next manager have a name the dilberts can pronounce !

    Movies being interrupted for the news annoys the sh*t out of me.

    Tis an impatient ol' fart who requires his news at an exact time of the evening, let him wait till after and stop interrupting my enjoyment!

    How Irish kids these days all seem to call their mother 'Mum'. What's wrong with good old Mammy, or Mam? Why Brit-icise everything?!?!

    Worse - nose and ear hair! :(

    An electric razor though is good for getting the bits around your mouth and just under your nose. I wouldn't have time for a cut-throat job every morning.

    People filing their nails nearby makes my skin crawl. People who whistle because very few people can whistle well and most can't maintain the tune. argh!

    I hate when ya order a roll or wrap and the person doesn't half it....

    The result is either I tear it and make a balls of it and all the good stuff falls out or ya have to start from the bad end and it's just not as nice!

    This reminds me of when I had my first sub. It was in San Francisco about fifteen years ago and I ordered a veggie sub with all the lovely salad and proceeded to attack it with gusto as I do with most food.
    As I took another monstrous bite I had a sharp stabbing pain in the roof of my mouth.
    Yes, so hungry and greedy that I was, I failed to notice the sharp little cocktail sticks they had spiked my food with to keep them together.
    Bloody things hurt.

    So the trivial things that annoyed me are unnecessary weapons that lace your food and my gluttony.

    Gillette Fusion stuff is the bomb. That's another thing that annoys me - I am immune to all advertising except theirs. Damn you, King C. Gillette!! :mad:

    people who moan about other people talking about their kids too much or showing them pictures of their kids but in reality they've probably been asked once to look at a photo and the kid talk is over heard between different sets of parents.

    Nope. Those people are blocked :pac:

    If you actually want an example, the lady who sits beside me in work talks about her kid constantly, and quite often, maybe once every two weeks, shows me pics of said kid.

    Tbf, if you don't like people being pass-remarkable about your kids or their activities don't write about them on an internet forum.

    I didn't, and I don't. Merely defending the right of people who wish to be defensive about their kids.

    I've a cousin like that. Every fuucking time I log onto FB there is more drivel about her child. She's at baby yoga, sign-language...probably moved onto interprative dance at this stage. Constant parping on about how many words she can sign now. The kid is 15 months old give her a fuucking break! You'd swear she was the first child ever to be born. Even before her birth, her grandparents were banging on about how beautiful she was going to be because her parents are good looking - child came out looking like grandad lol

    What I find even more annoying than parents doing this is grandparents. At least parents have some excuse but grandparents? Most of them are just trying to fill a void in their own lives. My friends mother took over completely when the grandchild came along - we were actually worried about her - she seemed to think it was her own kid or something...super creepy.

    Yeah, but consider how amusing it's going to be when the little darling hits her teenage years and rebels againt all that helicopter parenting and becomes a pot smoking mini-slag with more tattoo's then Amy Winehouse.
    Then whenever you ask 'so how's that precious little darling of yours these days?' you can enjoy their squirming discomfort as all they have to say is 'fine, she's fine..'

    Cream crackers on bread? Or in bread? Like a sandwich?

    Clearly I'm missing something which has the potential to be either awesome, or a bit... dafuq? :pac:
