    One thing that drives me mad is when people ask what my name is, I tell them (it's a very common, easy to pronounce name) and they mispronounce it because I don't look Irish. It never fails.

    People talking with their mouth full also if you're out having a meal and somebody starts eating before everyone else receives their meal.
    People putting up pictures on Facebook etc and putting stupid hashtag comments with it eg # new dress # stunning etc:mad::mad:

    Teenage girls on facebook.

    "Omg, u look stunnin! Xxx"
    "Nah, dats you but thanks Xxxx"

    Irritating doesn't describe it.

    Newsagents that turn stacks of newspapers round, so the customers "can't read them". Presumably, they mean to stop people browsing them.

    Newspapers spend huge time and effort to create the most impactful headline of the day, so people will feel compelled to pick it up and buy it. Turning the newspaper the other way round makes no difference to people's ability to pick it up and leaf through it, but it does kill the interest generated by scanning the headlines. Really, really stupid and probably loses sales more it does than anything else.

    Vodafone sending you a text telling you you've got a missed call. It's a thing of sheer stupidity.
    Why would you need a text telling you you've missed a call when the phone has a notification telling you anyway?

    You're ****ing thick vodafone.

    For phones that are out of service when the call is missed. I.e. battery, coverage, no roaming, so on so forth.

    You better be a teenage girl or else you should expect a knock on the door from the Gardai.


  • Registered Users Posts: 65 ✭✭lovesfatgirls


    when someone doesnt finish their can and leaves maybe a good fifth of it in there bugs me...maybe if you actually drank it, it wouldnt go flat o_O when the same person uses said cans as an ashtray always ends in trouble..

    when someone makes toast on the counter and 'forgets' to wipe it down afterwards
    spilt sugar wiped down on to the floor so when you walk in barefoot you get sugar on your feet

    i could go on :D

    Or people who say "should of" instead of "should have".

    And people pronouncing committee as "comm - it - teeeeee"/ "area" as "air-eeee"


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,884 ✭✭✭Tzardine


    Groups of people who walk at a crawl speed on busy paths and get in your way when you try go around them.

    People who dont walk on the airport travelator thingys and block them up.

    and my favorite

    Idiots who throw cigarette butts out their car window. Thats what you have an ashtray for douchebag !

    EDIT: One more. How come when you have tonsillitis the doctor prescribes Augmentin, the biggest feckin tablet known to man. I cant swallow FFS

    The speed at which chewing gum loses it's taste is particularly annoying.

    People who eat with their mouths open, slurp while drinking liquids, grunt and snort while sitting with their mouths gaping open, and just in general have not managed to figure out to fukking breath properly.

    It is the single most basic action required for survival, if you can't get it right the rest of us should be allowed to hold pillows over your faces to demonstrate the principle until you either figure it out or natural selection takes its course.

    The time it takes an energy saving lightbulb to actually get bright. It really frustrates me!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,117 ✭✭✭shanered


    Cold butter that wreaks the bread when you try use it.
    Just leave it out instead of putting it in d fridge....


  • Registered Users Posts: 53 ✭✭RebeccaChick


    • People eating with their mouth open
    • Parents cursing on front of their young children
    • Parents feeding their children utter crap resulting in them getting overweight
    • Drivers not using indicators
    • When someone goes and buys something you've just bought e.g handbag/jacket
    • When people suddenly stop in the middle of a busy path, not moving out of the way for all the people behind them.

    That's alot but they are what comes to mind!

    Sorry Rebecca, but people typing 'alot' drives me mental.

    It's 'a lot'! Two words!

    So many people do it and it hurts my eyes.:(

    Also annoying is 'loosing' for losing, and the aforementioned 'should of' instead of should have.

    I've noticed 'wreaks' instead of wrecks a few times here, and a few 'taughts' instead of thoughts. It grinds my gears.:p

    People in general annoy me. I would love to live alone in the wilderness but I would miss the internet too much.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,293 ✭✭✭1ZRed


    Watching some sort of disaster on the news with old women in the room has to be the most painful things for me to endure.

    Between all the "ooooooohhhhhhh, isn't it awwwwful!", "god.. ohhhhh!" and "Christ have mercy on them!", I can't hear a god damn fuking thing that's being said


  • Registered Users Posts: 4 Caoilinn.


    When groups of say 3 or 4 four people are walking on the footpath, blocking you from being able to walk past them.It annoys the fùck outta me

    In banks, people who only start writing out their lodgment slip when they're already in the queue. And if you try to walk round them, you're the worst fúcker in the world. Plus you just know that they're going to be the same people who take 15 minutes going through every piece of banking minutiae that should have been done at the Customer Service counter.
