When the bin vans drive past you or if your behind it at the traffic lights it leaves such a horrible smell.

12 minutes of adverts between programmes and then a programme advert and a sponsors advert before a show starts

12 is a very specific number to be wrong with.

Christ yes. Have been downloading for years so no ads on my shows and then when the gf wants to watch tv or I don't have my laptop or cable for the tv. Christ it's awful. Makes me feel better about pirating

People who quote large posts, especially annoying in mobile. scrolling through the same thing twice. only to see "I agree"

Akrasia

That referendum commission ad.
"There's only one place to go to get unbiased information' and they then go on to list several places, leaflets, website, library etc.

How can we trust them if they can't even count to 1

The way the sun always shines in through the gap between the sun visors on the car. Then it moves to the side and you turn the visor......and it still manages to find the spot that the visor doesn't cover - blinding you again.

Potholes on speed ramps...in Dublin there are red kind of cobblelock looking ramps all over the place that were put in less than ten years, and they are all falling apart. What kind of twit in the corpo invests millions on materials that are not fit for purpose. I was going to say it's incredible, but in fact it's quite credible, even to be expected.

Rub your hands with a tiny bit of something milk-based - yoghourt, cream, butter - first and then wash them. I can also state, from personal experience, that it's not good to try and get a little bit of dirt out of your eye having handled chillies.

Same reason that it's no use drinking a water drink with really spicy food - best to have lassi etc.

Jeez why eat spicy food if you have to use other food to anaesthetise yourself against the spicy food. If you get me!

Actually people calling things "a disgrace" or "disgraceful" or other such hyperbolic words is a trivial thing that annoys me. Also, when a DVD box or film trailer calls a comedy film "outrageous" even though it sparked no outrage or controversy whatsoever.

People who when posting online or complaining about something say "only in Ireland" or "what is this country coming to". It's meaningless crap.

Saw a post in another forum about the story of a teacher sending inappropriate pictures to a pupil and the poster finished his point with "what is this country coming to" as if it could never happen anywhere else in the world and Iteland, as a country encourages this kind of thing. It's just a bizarre thing to say.

"only in Ireland"

There's an "Only in Ireland" facebook page. Half of the images are from other countries and most of the posts could easily apply to anywhere.

People who obstruct paths. Today I had to walk around a circle of old people and weirdly some roma moaning around a statue of mary, down the path followed by a guy handing out free bibles with a desk set up followed by not once but twice having people from the same business try and shove a leaflet in my face.

The fact I didn't go for a leaflet shows I had no interest. No need to shove it in my face and remind me "nicely".

As for the religious folk, ffs, this is Ireland there were 3 churches less than 2 minutes away in any direction.

Water won't cut it, you need something with lipids or fats in it. Milk or cream would work a treat.

That was called scutching where I'm from :pac:

This is that it meant from where I was brought up!

(Scutcher) a textile industry worker. Scutching is the process of separating the useful fibres away from the woody parts of flax etc. by the process of beating. The tool used for this purpose is also called a scutcher.

We even had a local pub called the scutchers!

well.... it used to be a pub!

edit: just checked on the status of a few of the other old pubs I used to frequent and they're ALL closed!! BOLLOCKS!!! :mad:
