Do you understand what average life expectancy is?

Green Giant

Parking machines that don't accept the new-style €5 notes. Some days I've had a fiver on me but it was the new one, so I had to break a €20 or €50 just for the sake of it in the hope of getting a 'classic' €5 note. Which never happens, it's always the new version, prompting an embarrassing request to the till clerk to swap it for either a 'classic' fiver or change in coins.

It's been at least six months since the new fivers were brought in. Surely the machines can be programmed to take the new fivers, or else get in new bloody machines ye Luddites!!

And there is my trivial rant for the day!

I get annoyed when there are fellas in barbers ahead of me with tight haircuts who you think would need about 2 minutes but who take ages getting it cut or styled of whatever they do.

I have a decent enough mop and it only takes 10 minutes to cut it with a scissors but these lads take about half an hour asking for these millimetric
touches here and there with the trimmer. Then they stand there when it's my turn looking in the mirror and flicking at the little bit that's left.

I find myself getting more and more annoyed by the "can't post the pic so post a screenshot of the pic on my phone" rubbish. First it started with big black borders but now it's full screenshots so I can delight in the time it was taken and what network the phone is on. FFS

I used to work with a woman, who every Monday morning would do the quiz , did you go out sat nite etc etc

Her: Did have a nice dinner on Sunday, what did you have?
Me: Yeah, blah blah
Her: We had lovely roast chicken, mash, peas and Lovely roast potatoes that I did in the deep fat fryer
Me: Er, so you had deep fried potatoes?
Her: yes, roasted ones
Me: well, you have to roast "roasted potatoes" in the oven, what you had was deep fried potatoes, nice I am sure.
Her:No, these ARE roasted, just in the deep fat fryer
Me: (while stabbing her with a crap pen in the eyeball) Fuuuuck off.

Paddy Fields

Homemaker. My mother went to the grave seemingly contented in life at being a housewife. What is wrong with being a housewife and what for that matter is a homemaker? A 45 year old woman that is handy with hod carrying, plastering, plumbing and electrics?

I better pi55 off for a while.

People who use your name constantly during a conversation over the phone,

"Krudler is it? hi krudler how are you krudler, can I pay my bill krudler that's great krudler"

I have a loopy cousin who's the opposite. Gets highly offended if you dare send her a text without her name in it.
"My name is Mary. I was christened you know."

haha I read your post without looking at your username and was like wtf? I've never heard of that happening

On the topic of names, it gets annoying if someone mishears your name but uses it too much in the ensuing sentences, which pretty much closes the window of time you have to correct them.

Untouchable Peasant

When it rains the silver stud things on the ground around the Spire get really slippy.

It really trivially annoys me.

RedFormanFITA

People who talk about themselves in the third person.

Being questioned by a female co-worker about what you had for lunch. It's not so much about what you had, but lets go into every fookin minute detail. Look, I ordered food, it came back cooked, I ate it, I was happy, end of story. But what did you have, I have no fookin idea. Jeez, why do women do that.

Phone shops that have phones or other devices on display and you go up to the counter and ask if you can see such and such a model. No, sorry we cant show you that. Why not? We don't have it in stock. But it's out there on the shop floor on display in glorious fookin 3D technicolour for all to see. We don't have it in stock. Well why the hell is it on display if you don't have it in stock....... grrrrrrrrrr. Same thing in a local PC World shop recently, USB 'broadband' (joke) dongles on display, not one of the feckers on sale.:mad::mad:

People that hark on about how great it is to have a HD tv but it then turns out they don't actually watch any HD sources.

I heard Dr. Ben Dover is a much better man to go and, ahem, 'see'. Apparently his wife, Eileen Dover helps him sometimes.

I don't get it. If it's already out on display 'for all to see', why are you going up asking to see it?
