Trivial things that annoy you

Duck Soup

Americanisms generally don't annoy me, but I have a friend who's ready to kill at the sound of "good job" or its elongated variation "good jaaawb". She now lives in America.

Genuinely lost with this one. It doesn't work (get them clean) or it's just not the done thing?

A few things that annoy me:
The Dublin 4 accent
Hector
People with ginger hair and freckles
Auld lads with comb overs
Track suit wearing chavs
Chavs who wear sovereign rings
Dirty shoes
Bad breath

I hate the way that TDs in the Dáil never sit on the front row/bench. Just looks wrong. Presumably it's because there's no desk in front of them.

Now that's pretty trivial, I know!

This!
People with ginger hair and freckles are born this way. It annoys me when people blatantly attack someone's skin colour without shame.

Really annoys me when there's no where to hang your jacket on the back of a cubicle door in a public toilet. What am I supposed to, keep my jacket on and run the risk of getting shít on the back of it? Put it on the floor that's stained with other people's píss? No thanks. I usually end up trying to awkwardly hang it over my knees.

People that invite you over to their gaff for drinks and ask that you take your shoes off coming into the gaff.

and you put your shoes on aswell you knackbag, dont be cooking me dinner in your bare feet

feet are big deformed hands and it puts me off you when you insist on having them out in public.

People who jump on bandwagons!
Try replacing "mutants with ginger hair" in your statment with "coloureds" or "níggers" and tell me if you think it's still ok?

Users on internet forums quoting their other halves in posts, for instance "myself and Mrs md2340 went out yesterday and....."

Why???

Just say "myself and my [please add were appropriate]

other halve, wife, husband, partner, boyfriend, girlfriend, mistress or whatever.

Please stop using usernames plus the relevant prefix, it's meaningless, contrived and seems a bit condescending.

So explain how it's acceptable to joke about gingers and not black people?
Either way it's the jumping on the bandwagon that annoys me: "oh look people on the internet are slagging gingers - I'll do it too and it'll be hilarious!"

Windows Update reboots. After all these years, you'd think they'd learn how to install updates without needing a reboot.

These drive me nuts. Especially the ones on the timer. You click the later button expecting it to fook off. It does but only just long enough for you to have gotten back into the movie you were watching only to have it pop up again. Leave it alone for about 10 minute and it shuts down automatically.

Sometimes I imagine that windows' staff have embedded some kind of virus in the updates that allows them to tap into webcams and microphones. They release an update, sit back, break out the pop corn and laugh their asses off at all the swearing and giving out.

Chris Rock had a very funny piece about that. Perhaps you should let him know what an awful person he is. Afterall, he didn't consider the fact that he might offend some delicate little flower with his crimes against humanity.

There aren't any people who genuinely hate or dislike or discriminate against people with red hair.
There is no neo-agingerist sitting at home with packets of hair dye, seething about the all those fecken "gingers" out there.

He may have made the naive mistake of thinking that people with red hair were a group of people you could still poke fun at without being whipped all the way to the Hague. Silly boy!

Quinten Tarantino did it in Django with great satire to rave reviews from people of all colour

Chris Rock does it the whole time, its not about what is said its how you are saying it

Sorry if I dont hold the same guilt as you, i just get the meaning of satire

I haven't seen Django yet so I can't comment - is it not set sometime in the 1800s when nígger was an accepted term?

Chris Rock is a black man, how many white comedians do you think would get away with his material before being shot?

I don't hold any guilt (I can't speak for old hippy) and I do understand satire, I also understand humour which is a different and subjective thing.

Racism is racism whether it's against someone of different skin colour, hair colour or the shape of their eyes.

People who say "people that" instead of "people who".

who would shoot the comedian?

there can be satire in humour

why is it ok for a black man to say it and not a white man

know one shot the writers of South Park for the Naggers episode because it was completely engulfed in humouous satire

People say what now?


Anyway, people who (see what I did there? Learning already!) post things on facebook saying they hate when people don't reply to their texts.

Made all the more trivial and annoying when I'm not even ON facebook and my wife relays the, erm, status.

I don't want to know! Annoying on two counts then that one really.

The use of the words kit, package or product to make something sound more specific, when in fact all these words are used for is an alternative to "the thing" of "stuff" - basically they preserve ambiguity while trying to sound specific. Must be spin doctor nonsense!

e.g.
Beef was product sourced in Poland
Aid/Compensation/Interrogation package

Pudders

Airlines trying to sell you:

Insurance
Hotels
Car rental
A bag that is good for onboard
Advance seat allocation
Meal vouchers
