I annoy me The other week i was raking up the leaves and i left the thing by a bin i have outside the back kitchen for papers to burn, just as it's getting dark at 5.30ish i decide to go out and put a few glass jars in me tub for recycling and i had some paper for the bin. Dashing back to put paper in i step fast and hard on the rake facing outwards :eek: ohh jesus i had an awful belt of it and after a very sore bruised forehead. A few days later i had a black eye from the blow. Lesson learnt NEVER leave a rake facing outwards. I could have passed out, It sounds like a good clip for candid camera or benny hill :rolleyes:

You annoy me. If you put my rake away like that, I'd ram it up your hole. Not to mention the health and safety implications. What do you use to set fire to your papers in the bin? Napalm?
I also hate predictive text.

With all the amazing processing power available on something like a phone why is it that ATMs can't have checked which notes they have available before asking how much I want?

+1, AND why do they offer a receipt, if the stupid printer has run out of paper, so can't print the thing, so it later in the transaction says, sorry, we can't perform your request. That's always assuming that the printer has got a print ribbon with some ink left, which can't be relied on.

Then there's the new LATM lodgement machines that don't have the ability to allocate a unique reference number to the transaction like the old paper lodgements had, so at the end of the month, there's a whole page of identical reference lodgements with LATM 909999 4556 as the description. Really good for an audit control or checking procedure. NOT!

Probably programmed by the same g**sh**e that thinks that grey text on a black background on a web site is "cool". Yeah, and unreadable!

It really is amazing how poor the programming for banks is, and it ain't just the front-end stuff either. A friend started working for a company that does back-end stuff a few years back and he couldn't believe what he was working on. It's all so outdated and patched-up that improvements are incredibly difficult. The security is laughable as well, in the space of half an hour he showed me (who can barely get past HTML) half a dozen vulnerabilities that once someone knows about them are insanely easy to access. And that's just in back-end payment processing, never mind the bits between that and the front-end.

Stupid banks :P

I hate it when with a tablet packet, I start it on one end and someone then starts in the opposite end. Or when there's a certain amount of pain killers that are intended to be taken 2 at a time and someone takes 1 messing up the whole system!

Can't stand when someone leaves a disc out of its case or just puts it in a random one! I lose the head over that one!

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.

Yes, i hate this.

Also people who ask you a question, but instead of letting your answer they just answer themselves.

Idiot: So what did you do at the weekend?

Me: *Intake of breath, about to answer*

Idiot: Myself and the wife went to Howth and ate some lovely seafood, sure twas grand weather for it. Did you ever eat in Howth?

Me: ...

Idiot: (Continuing unabated) We never had before but ah sure twas lovely so twas. What about yourself, what did the kids get up to?

Me: ...

Idiot: Becuase y'know yourself, our lot just want to play Xbox all the time, sure isn't it so hard to get them to go out and play?

THIS GOES ON FOR TEN MINUTES.

Always wondered about this behaviour too. It happened to me twice in the past year when I had to return items to two separate shops. Out comes the docket book with the sheet of carbon paper, for fook sake who still uses that, your man for Open All Hours???? Signature, date, address, reason for returning goods. What is done with this information?

I presume it's kept in case there's a problem with the transaction/returned item.

I once returned something to Brown Thomas, which I paid for by credit card/laser. I received a letter a few weeks later asking me to contact them regarding the transaction. When I went in, they told me they the incorrectly credited my card with €750, rather than €75!

When the app store for iphone tells me I need to update my apps in order to fix some bugs, but won't actually let me update the apps and keeps saying "Retry".

When the stalk end of a carrot makes its way onto the dinner plate. I could kill someone.

Spending ages trying to decide to put for my 3,000 post, fecking doing my head in.

Whats annoying me this week is that it's my birthday in a few days and three groups of people expect me to be at three different places at once.
Family want me at home, college friends want me in the pub in town and school friends want me in the local. Head is wrecked

NIMAN

Folk who have about 20 old tax disc's under their current one on their windscreen.

Lately I've noticed this. People pushing their way onto a train without letting the people who are standing at the door get of first, it's unreal.

Also at the top of the ramp to Connolly platform 6&7 people just get to the top and stop, blocking up the whole thing as they look around clueless. Here's a tip, the platforms are about 20m wide and 450m long, move the feck out of the way and stop blocking up a choke point. Evolution has failed, I'm convinced of it.

That's one that's irritated me since junior infants when our teacher used read us a story, and as she was nearing the end of the page, out comes the tongue and she draws her index finger down it, slobbers, and turns the page...

I just sat there aghast thinking "Did she just... Ohh that was disgusting!"


Thank fcuk for E-readers nowadays!

Squaredude

People who lick/suck their fingers clean after eating,get the fcuk out and wash your hands you dirty cnut. Also people who don't wash their hands.

I was getting off a dart at pearse the other day at about 17:00. except I couldn't get off because of all the people trying to get on right at the door, there was literally no gap. I had had a very bad day and just saw red
I let a roar "MAKE WAY, WINDOWLICKERS !!"
The crowd parted like the dead sea.
