The words fook, fooker and the use of the word omnomnom for food.

Also, the use of hashtags on Facebook.

I love the word fook and fooking. Reminds me of kfallon for some reason?

The word 'skitting',

This word should be abolished. It makes me want to vomit.

Wasn't that used to describe people jumping on the back of buses to evade fares years ago? Horrible word, I agree.

Or when you can hear someone's dentures softly clicking as they speak :mad:

When you are driving, and the person in the backseat is giving directions, and says "turn here" (you of course cant see where they are pointing) and you say "where", they respond "here, You "where, Them "there oh **** you have missed the turn.....you "LEFT OR ****ING RIGHT!!!!"

The inescapable and often cringeworthy positivity presented in Irish made How - To programs such as cookery, DIY on any Irish Television channel. By positivity I mean the music, the presenter with a fixed hunky dory smile, as one of the beautiful people and everythings perfect, not a thing out of place, not too hot or not too cold as in baby bear's breakfast in Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Fairytale World. Otherwise known as Tir na n'óg.

salacious crumb · 19-09-2013 2:41pm

Irish tv in general is ****.

Rasheed · 19-09-2013 2:52pm

Being off on a sick day and there's nobody to keep me company or bring me tea.

You should watch "Bitchin' Kitchen" on the Food Network channel, I've been watching it a while now and I still can't cook anything anyone else would consider edible, but the presenter herself is deadly... in small doses, she'd melt your head full-time though!

I really hate fiddly food packaging. I opened a bag of prawns to make some prawn mayo sandwiches for my husbands lunch, one of those packets that you have to cut the top off with a scissors and then pull open. All was going fine up until the pull open bit when the pack fell on the floor and most of the prawns ended up everywhere. 4 cats we have and none of them likes prawns:rolleyes: He ended up having chicken salad sandwiches in the end.

Even the ads for that piss me off, i don't know how you'd sit through a full episode.

When serving a customer , you hold your hand out for the money and they put it on the counter, you do that and your change is getting slammed on the counter for you to pick up.
Customers who think its ok to talk on the phone while you serve them, unbelievably rude. It takes two seconds to say sorry I'm at the till willcchat to you in two minutes.
Customers who complain to till staff about other shops running deals on different items. Ifyou have an issue ask for the manager, I do not make the prices

You need to visit the ranting and raving forum, specifically cries of retail, honestly, you'll feel better, I promise:D

I'm open to correction but is it not the case that certain non-Irish cultures think it rude (or maybe unhygienic) to actually hand money from hand to hand ? I say this because as a customer I've noticed certain assistants place your change on the counter too . I try to be understanding but have to admit I find it rude too .
As a former shop worker totally agree though on all the points . Luckily mobiles weren't as common back then !

Had to visit the hospital 6 months ago with a personal condition. After I was done,
I was told to book in an appointment in the hospital for a simple follow up a few
months down the line, which I did. It was today. Got there and the Doctor was
an absolute jerk fobbed me off as wasting valuable time and that I should have
gone to my GP for something as simple. I said I was told to book the appointment
there but he didn't care in the slightest and sent me off to book in with my GP.
I did and it was all sorted in the end.

My point is, It annoys me how mean some Doctors can be while others are lovely.
Don't get me wrong, I understand theirs is a stressful Job, but it really turns
some of them into bitter bitter people.

Unnecessarily angry people.

People who sing with exaggerated Cockney accents, eg Eliza Doolittle and Lily Allen.
