    Yes, they are *entitled* to cross diagonally, they just display an overwhelming lack of intelligence while doing so, as well as getting in the way of intelligent people who placed themselves at the appropriate side.

    Whatever about cyclists breaking the red lights, very dangerous and annoying, the number of car drivers who do it and proceed across the green man is staggering.

    The times I have been almost mown down by cyclists is where there are very few other pedestrians, so its not like I am getting in anyones way. There is one in particular up beside St Patricks cathedral if you come straight down from Werburgh Street. Super annoying. Yes a lot of drivers breaking red lights now. They should introduce on the spot fines for it. Just install cameras and away we go. Plenty of money to bolster the economy. My Mam gives me grief when she is in the car if I go through on amber, and these pr1cks go through on the red?

    I'm more of a glarer than a shouter, occasionally I lose it and break out a loud tutting noise :pac: I don't mind them being on the footpath if traffic is heavy and there's no cycle path, as long as they just watch where they're going! It's when they're cycling on the road and completely ignoring lights to the point where they're a danger to pedestrians that I get pissed off, or when they get some kind of split personality thing going "Look at me I'm a pedestrian, oh the lights changed now I'm a car, I want to go over there I'm an ambulance, choo choo **** you!"

    lol :D

    I know we may all need to blow the nose in public from time to time but what is it with aul fellas who take out a what used to white hankie and expunge about two pounds of snot into it, then OPEN it and in and peer at it, with an almost proud look on their face, you half expect them to say to you "here, look at that"

    "Pick the bones out of that one" :D


    Not a trivial thing, but it annoyed me very much. Charity muggers inside my building today. Inside!!

    Is there no end to this sh*t? :mad:

    Waaaaaah! :(

    *Fcuks phone away over shoulder*

    I've read enough!


    *Crosses intersection diagonally*


    Feck yiz all! :D


    On that note though, trivial thing that annoys me is those pedestrian crossings at intersections where you only have seven seconds to cross the second one after you've crossed the first one. I don't like being forced to hop, skip and jump across the road while some little prick is revving his engine, half the time I'm tempted to leave his front bumper up on his windscreen with a kick! :mad:

    People on the street who tell the charity muggers "sorry, I don't have time right now". Sorry????? For what? Why are you talking to them? I just stare through them like they're not there. I don't blink for the whole 50 yards that they're waving and jumping up and down in front of me and then I sail passed.

    Absolutely.

    On a similar note, a conversation I had the other evening on Dame Street...

    "Story bud, any spare change?"
    "Haven't a bean"
    "You wanna buy some coke?"
    "No I don't want to buy any coke"
    "Are you sure you don't want any?"
    "Pissss offfff"
    *starts walking off* "Prick"
    "F*ck you"
    *futher away* "Dirtbag"
    "F*CK YOU!!"

    I have a friend who does that! So annoying. Then I have to counter her niceness by saying really loudly to her, "dont apologise to them, you've nothing to be sorry for!"......and then the world in all its horrible misery and crankiness is balanced again....sigh..... (No, I dont know why she is still my friend either)

    My friend's daughter was taught about talking to strangers last year. For 2 days every time someone she didn't know approached them she screamed. Freaked the Hell out of one of the chuggers.. Friend gave money because he was so mortified.
    I am not friends with the daughter apparently because I won't give her biscuits when she wants the-her words not mine.

    Currently looking at the Penguin Cam for Dublin Zoo and there is a big spider web right in front of it. Wasn't too bad until the sun hit it.

    The use of the phrase "to the tune of" in the media.

    Bailed out "to the tune of" etc.

    Hate it.

    Yeah, I've never heard the song '64 billion euros' so I get really upset when I'm sitting with my casio keyboard beside the telly watching the news trying to figure out what song was playing when they were being bailed out.
