    In the canteen on campus they sell yoghurts and have small plastic spoons which you can take to eat it the yoghurt with.

    The problem is the spoon is tea spoon dimensions except for the depth of it, they are really deep every time you eat a spoon of yoghurt you need to use your tongue to reach into the bottomless pit of the spoon to get the yoghurt out.

    Highly trivial yet really annoying.

    Bag packers...

    Went into dunnes today to pick up 1 thing and find myself noticing one of them at the other side. Normally I just avoid the tills they are on but I didn't notice until it was too late. I thought dunnes stopped allowing animal charities to do it but they'll allow some football team to get money

    People that take a million "selfies" and inflict them on the rest of us. Insecure freaks.

    I bit the inside of my cheek a few days ago, and keep biting it accidentally because its so swollen now. Its so painful, cant even smile without feeling like I'm being knifed in the face.


    I just came across a facebook page, pretending to be a rabbit. It is the most cringe inducing thing I have seen in ages. Theres one pic with the rabbit and owner, theres sunglasses photoshopped onto the rabbit. The owner looks mid 30's and male.

    Posts are 'just got caught digging a hole, my bad' 'just checking my facebook'

    People who hum. My house mate hums when he's doing any sort of cleaning or work around the house,it's head wrecking. For christs sake you're a grown man not a 6 year old girl stop feckin humming.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,521 ✭✭✭ardle1


    Burning my mouth with scalding T, and then going into a psychotic spasm and spilling the rest of the T down my chin and over my hand and I still didn't let the cup go..... So that trivial thing 'kinda' annoyed me.

    Arsehole bus drivers who act like selling a ticket is some enormous and unreasonable new imposition on them.

    The guy driving the 10am 103 today ate the head off me because I didn't have exact change. Sorry man, I didn't realize giving me back four coins and a note was such a horrendous ordeal for me to subject you to, you obnoxious bollocks.

    Report the twat. Won't be so moany when the opposition buses arrive.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,090 ✭✭✭jill_valentine


    I think I will. Honestly, I was just so taken aback by it because it was so fecking disproportionate that I didn't really do anything. But man, if I spoke to a customer the way characteristic of bus drivers here, I'd be disciplined over it.

    Urgh, what a toolbag.

    I'm sorry but 90% of people on tills are just as ignorant, and they're not even on the phone.


    Rubbish!! Customer can always complain to management about rude staff, or take business elsewhere,

    One of the biggest crimes against humanity is people coming to a counter/till to be served and remaining on the phone. Its the fuucken pits

    Cant resist, I saw a guy, standing talking to his mate, while drying his pubes. Without stating ALL of the reasons why one should not do this, I tried to point out the error of his ways. The sad bit is he seemed to think it was the most natural thing in the world.....the filthy ****.

    Sorry, I should point out, this was in a dressing room of local gym/pool

    I absolutely hate it when people come up to the till in work and are talking away on their phone at the same time ignoring me completely, not even acknowledging my existence. I would never ever do that if I was in a shop, I think it's so incredibly rude. If the phone rings when the person is at the till then that's fair enough, but otherwise....gtfo.

    Dunno how I missed this one. I hate that **** with such a passion. It drives me nuts. Absolute height of ignorance. I mean, if, for example you were with a doctor and your phone rings, do you do that put index finger in air thing, and take the call? I don't think so. Sure there are times when you HAVE to take a call,when that kidney you are waiting on has arrived or whatever, but at least excuse yourself and don't treat the counter staff like they are invisible.

    The thing is customers who use their phones while being served at checkout, would probably give out if the person serving them was on the phone.

    Are the very customers who are not concentrating and blame you for their mistake.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,569 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    I hate people who constantly agree with you as you speak to them.

    Me: "So, just last week I was..."
    Them: "Yeah"
    Me: "..I was driving along..."
    Them: "Uh-huh"
    Me: "...along the M50..."
    Them: "Yeah"
    Me: "...and..."
    Them: "Mmm-hmm"
    Me: "...I..."
    Them: "Yeah"
    Me: "...ah forget it"

    If I wanted someone to speak commentary like this, I'd sing a duet with Wyclef Jean

    That phone thing used to drive me mad when I worked in retail. I worked in argos, and would not take the slip off the customer until they (usually a she) got off the phone.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,762 ✭✭✭✭dubstarr


    I used to sit there as well,wouldnt put shopping through.So rude.

    Upstarts on my fingers
    When I have to hold a huge fart when in the company of others and it hurts
    When the seat belt stops me from leaning forward(to look) at a crossroads
    When my nails are too long
    When people mis-pronounce 'un' as 'on'. As in, "I walked onder the bridge.. It's onhealthy to eat, etc"
    The awkwardness of having to tell someone that their earphones are too loud when studying in the library
    When I've just finished washing my hands after taking a dump and then I realise I have to take another one
