    Learner drivers that put the L plates on backwards. These people want to be allowed drive on the roads yet can't put a sign up properly. Everybody in the car knows you're not capable of driving, its the other drivers you're supposed to warn ffs. I call them backwards learner drivers.

    I saw an instructor with them on backwards a few weeks ago and i nearly lost the plot.

    maybe it's because sometimes the L plate is sticky on the side that would require you to place it on the outside of the vehicle for it to be on the right way around. But if you put it on the outside of your car it will more than likely fall off, requiring you to buy new ones, so the simplest way is to stick them on the inside part of your windscreen-(albeit backwards). (they fall off when they're stuck onto the inside ffs never mind the outside!)

    People who drive really slow, then realise the light ahead is green and they floor it to make it. If the idiots drove at the speed limit in the first place they would have made the light with loads of time.
    Cyclists going past a parked car who think nothing of pulling out in front of you without looking back or indicating.
    People who obviously don't know where they're driving to and are looking at street names or house numbers, but they'll creep along at 5kph in the middle of the lane. Pull in ffs, or drive on the left!
    You're at a red traffic light, about 15 cars back. You should make it through when it changes. But the first few cars are so slow off the mark, only 5 cars get through.

    The worst thing about it is you're thinking that you can't even cook a pot noodle right

    People using the phrase 'Immaculate conception'.

    Usually they are using it in a 'OMG She was a virgin it must be an immaculate conception'.

    Mary getting pregnant without getting up on Joesph is called the virginal conception.

    When Mary was born she was kept free of original sin and was filled with the sanctifying grace normally conferred during baptism - That is the Immaculate conception.

    People whistling along to a song on a radio or people whistling in general...I don't mind myself doing it though :P

    You see a lot of people revolving them at 90 degrees or upside before you even go near the inside out concept.

    Why are you 'on' a bus but 'in' a car?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,163 ✭✭✭yeppydeppy


    The expression "a job of work" usually used by union / civil servant types - I feckin' hate it.
    People over using the word literally and not knowing what it means. "I was literally crying my eyes out!", were you? So your eyes had popped out of your head?

    People who pull their trolly behind them in the supermarket, oblivious that they are knocking things of shelves/into other people.

    People who light their fag the very second they leave a shop/bus always blocking the door FFS :mad:

    People talking on their phones while being served in a shop, then a*se around trying to get their money out, throw it at the cashier then still stand at the end of the till yapping!

    People who walk slowly on a busy street/shops then suddenly stops! turn around!

    Waiting for a free treadmill at the gym, while someone walks on it.

    Go for a walk outside if you want to stroll!

    The way Joe Silva comes into the cage just after a UFC fight to congratulate the winner.

    He smiles and tries to shake the guys hand saying good job. He does it every single time and I don't know why it bugs the sh1t out of me but it does.

    Maybe some day one of the fighters will punch him in his tiny head.

    People who flick their cigarette butts onto the ground when still lighting.. least they can do is stamp them out

    when the ashtrays on top of public bins are full and catch light... the smell is horrible

    People who let everyone around them know that their in a bad mood when things aren't going their way.. for example today in work the person beside me was having an off day so proceeded to type by banging the keyboard while sighing heavily every two seconds and mumbling under their breath... if your in a mood theirs no need to try drag everyone down with you...

    Or, you know, actually dispose of them properly instead of littering.

    I did say "the least" they can do.. kind of led into my second point.. not defending it but at times there's nowhere for 'them' to dispose of the butts properly

    Losing a guitar pick... in the sound-hole of the guitar :P

    One of my slumber down covers doesn't have buttons or any fastening, it sort of folds in on itself kinda like an envelope, this usually lasts one or two nights and then you can see the slumberdown poking out at the end. Now that's a trivial annoyance!
