    People who say they are a bit OCD or that they're OCD about something. You fucking aren't! You like something done a particular way. You do not have OCD. OCD is a disorder. There is nothing special about you in the slightest.

    People who say it usually think they're quirky or that they're the only person in the world who likes that thing done that certain way. Get over yourself.

    In the tv forum, and it doesn't bother me in threads about RTEs latest Wedding/Wardrobe Renovation sh1te, but for all the major Breaking Bad/Boardwalk Empire/Game of Thrones etc etc threads theres always loads of people constantly butting in with sh1t like: "What channel are you all watching this on?", "What time is this on at?", "Oh no I missed it! What time will it be repeated?"

    Its 2013 and you're on the internet, figure it out for fecks sake, I don't see this happening anywhere else besides Irish forums and its constant on Boards, every page of every thread there's one or more of them, shows how backwards so much of the country is still.

    At the security baggage check at the airport , you pick the shortest line thinking you're all clever like , but did you check out the dolly bird in front of you....no , then out comes the cosmetic counter from brown Thomas which has to be left behind resulting in a mini nervous breakdown , tweezers , scissors , umbrellas , a laptop....can she really use it , and then of course she gets frisked and has to take off her long zip up boots and a ton of bling , meanwhile your friends are ordering they're second drink at the bar !

    Might they have been saying Could've. Phonetically that sounds like (could of). ;)

    Bathroom sinks with taps that are too close to the back of the sink so as to make it impossible to place your entire hands under the flow of water...

    On the same trail of thought:

    Those push down taps that stay on for one or two seconds before you have to press down again. I mean seriously, how on earth can anyone actually wash their hands properly if you have to keep one hand on the tap constantly if you want a constant flow of water. It's just a severe lack of though or common sense. :mad::mad::mad:

    Maybe we need to have a seperate thread for trivial things we hate about bathroom sink taps but...

    Those push-down taps which when pressed ejected a tsunami and then suddenly switch off, with no in-between pressure that's possible to wet your hands with.

    Surely separate taps, ie not mixer taps, are the worst. Moving hands from cold tap to hot tap to cold tap........ Why would anybody NOT have a mixer tap ?

    They reason, incorrectly, that if Some Lights == Good, then More Lights == Better.

    I hate that too, people who phone you and arrange a time and a day and as you say, you sit in waiting for them to show and do they show, do they fook. No phone call or text, nothing, what happens to people like that??, alien abduction on their way to meet me is the only thing I can come up with, serves them right, I hope they enjoy the 'probe'.

Eventually, you decide feck it they're taking forever I'll have a scoop and then sure as soon as it's in your mouth they answer. Just fuuckin waiting they were til you put the mug to your lips so they could pounce on the phone.
