Trivial things that annoy you

The irony of someone accusing someone else of having the last word, by having the last word.....

And this is why life expectancy is constantly going up. Because we learned that this is a bad thing to do.

Infant mortality is decreasing so the average lifespan is increasing. That's different to the life expectancy of a person post-puberty.

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.

Women on a diet. 'So today I had my porridge, and a low fat yoghurt, and then a chicken salad, and some grapes, and for dinner I'm having salmon with spinach'.

Christ sake, I asked you HOW YOU WERE!!!!!

I find it best to avoid social interactions with anybody on a diet.

So it doesn't bother you when men do it?

Almost as bad as women who say 'I was very bad/naughty today, I ate a chocolate bar' or some other bit of junk food:rolleyes: FFS, who cares, and how old are you?

Homeopathy , apparently, according to research the tiny amount of the magic active ingredient is present in such a trivial amount in the 'homeopathic ' dose that often It doesn't even exist at all !,not even one molecule !

OHMYFÚCKINGGODYES!!!

I twitch when they add that 's', and people in the media do it - Newsreaders and the like. Your job is reading and speaking, do it properly.

The way in crime shows (ie. Criminal Minds, CSI) the family of the victim struggle to shed so much as a tear.

Annoys the hell out of me! Watching one now where a woman's husband and three children were murdered by a serial killer, and hours later, she's just screwing up her face and dabbing her eyes with a tissue. She looks like she's suffering from a light cold, not the sudden demise of her entire family.

Its just not realistic or sincere at all. It bugs me more than it should :pac: Maybe I just love the drama :pac:

Tea towels that have absolutely no absorption properties. You may as well try to dry the dishes with a plastic bag, all they do is push the water round the plate. How difficult can it be to produce a tea towel fit for purpose??!!

The waste of space bureaucrats in the Euroland that have decided that it is no longer legal to use an in sink waste disposal unit to get rid of food waste, and the gombeens in power that have decided that you HAVE to have a brown bin to get rid of food waste. Right now, I can think of a MUCH better use for the contents of a brown bin!

I'm usually all for recycling, etc... but the way they brought about the brown bins did piss me right off.

Kittensoft Ad.

Emma....emma.....emma...emma?....emma!

For those who don't watch licenced television. It's an ad for Kittensoft toilet tissue featuring a stereotypical office type and his ipad. He goes around the house tormenting his poor missus about his stupid ipad as only an apple fanboy could. He is irritating. The ad however is delicious in its finale as it shows him taking a poo after a curry as all office types indulge in. Out of toilet paper he summons his now demented wife to pass bog roll but instead she slips the ipad with a pic of sh*tting tickets on it under the door.

Wipe your hole with an ipad. Very good Kittensoft, thank you.

I've never heard it called that before, that's brilliant!

When you try help people and they're just ignorant gowls.

For example, last night when I came out of the hospital after being in with my extremely ill dad, there was a stray dog looking extremely lost. I checked his collar for an id tag and there was nothing. So, I decided to call the local SPCA who would take the dog in and help find his owners. It was late, 10pm so nobody answered and the voicemail said if it was about fostering a dog to leave a message but if it was about anything else, to call this other number, which I called. The other number was switched off so I took a photo of the dog and posted it to the relevant page.

This morning I recieved a call back from this snooty cow. "There was a missed call at 10pm why were you ringing", I explained why. "Why didn't you leave a voicemail there was no voicemail? " then as I'm speaking, she cuts over me and said "if you had to leave a voicemail I would have known what it was in relation to".

Another one that annoys me are people that say "Oh we are so inseperable, we're like sisters/brothers". It's a load of c0ck most of the time.

Best example I saw this year was on the X-Factor (yeah I know) when a girl band came on and said "Oh we are a group and without one, the whole thing falls apart. We're amazing friends too". Five minutes later the judges single one out as having potential and she dumps the other two to go solo and the dumpees stop being friends with her.

That and people who say stuff like "Oh I'm the child's father/mother/grandfather" when they aren't. Controversial I know but in my eyes someone's contribution to the child's life is not diminished because they are a step dad or partner rather than biological dad/mother/grandparent etc. But it annoys me that they feel the need to justify their role by falsely claiming something that isn't true.

The SPCA's (especially the Dublin one) are notoriously up their own. You can bet your a** if it had been a lost dog that had wandered in somewhere high profile, or it was an oil leak on the canal or a bag of cute puppies dumped in a river, they'd be all over it like a dog in heat (no pun intended) because they are the greatest media whores ever. Give them a second in the limelight and they are your friend forever, but ask them to put their government sponsored money where their mouths are? Not a chance. I worked there years ago and while on camera they were diligently cleaning up after oil spills on the front of the Indo, behind the scenes they were culling cats and kittens because they contracted treatable flu, and euthanasing "non-rehomeable" dogs that they couldnt be bothered socialising!

IMO the smaller, privately run charities are far superior and care more about the animals!

People who speak too loudly, AND mumblers.

People who ask you a question, and when you are half way thru the reply, they ask another question and/or answer their own original question, and then they take umbrage when you tell them you can only answer one question at a time.
