    What about the people (usually men) who close one nostril (while walking/running) with index finger and propel snot from the other nostril on to ground........................is it too early for that one:P

    The snot-rocket is an essential method for nose clearing while out n about and without a tissue.

    Not a pet peeve of mine but my mate despises these business type women you see walking along in town wearing full office attire but with Asics runners. Usually seen clutching a Starbucks take coffee cup too. He says the runners just rub him up the wrong way and he doesn't know why.

    Makes sense though, why walk to and from the office in heels when you can wear something more comfortable, loads of women I work with do it as the nearest bus stop is a good distance away from the building

    Yeah thats horrible, but something else spitting related really annoys me. When fellas go up to the urinal in the jax, and before they even start peeing they spit into it. Its a horrible habit anywhere

    Gotta spit somewhere when you have a frog in your throat, might as well send it to the place that was already full of piss.

    Yeah I'm the same. I understand why since they probably have to do a bit of walking and women's shoes aren't good for that but it's honestly the worst looking combination I can imagine women wearing.

    Dracula, the boogeyman, the wolfman and frankenstein are fictional mosters. There is nothing fictional about the monster that was Adolf Hitler.

    I did last year. To me, Halloween costumes should be horror based, not dressing up as Buzz Lightyear etc., but that's just like, my opinion man.:pac:

    My point is just about 'is it in taste'

    sure, there are actually masks of James Eagan Holmes (The Dark Knight Rises Cinema Shooter) floating around for sale too. Just over a year after he killed those people.

    Again, taste is a good word.

    Maybe your tastes are different from other people's. Some people might not be offended because someone chooses to wear a rubber representation of Hitler's face. Now if they started killing Jews for Halloween as well you might start to have a problem.

    Probably a few as Dead Osama. I'd say he's pretty popular around the world though. As a costume I mean.

    People who write 'Thats fake' in the comment section of videos/pics on the internet. Who cares if its fake? Movies are fake but we still watch them.

    That Nescafe Azera ad bugs the crap out of me:mad: The one where she says
    'guess what I want' It's pis*ing rain, she's not dying, not pregnant and yet she can't settle for a normal coffee like the rest of us, oh no, she's gotta send him down the street for take out coffee. If it were him sending her out for it on the other hand there'd be uproar.

    Don't know why it annoys me as much as it does:confused:

    The baby in the apartment next to mine has discovered that loud, continual high pitched shrieking gets its' parents attention. Honestly, the sound is like nails down a blackboard. And this is a Celtic Tiger apartment, so I can practically hear them breathing at the best of times.

    That's what's currently annoying me.

    Long grain rice.

    It only takes one grain to go down the wrong way and you're coughing, choking and spluttering for the next half hour... :mad:

    You should switch to Basmati. I've never had that problem with Basmati.

    I love brown basmati,10 years ago I'd have preferred white long grain but the texture and flavour of brown basmati is well worth the extra cooking time.
