Gears are supposed to grind together - that's how they transmit drive. In most transmissions the gears are permanently meshed and the shift action merely locks them to various shafts in suitable arrangements. The "grinding" actually comes from the little locking-dogs on the shafts misaligning, not the gears themselves. In the old, pre-synchromesh days you'd get a lot of this from not double-clutching properly.

Sorry, little "thing" of mine!

Ad blockers that don't block ads.

F**kers phoning you up all the way from India claiming to be from Mikersoft telling you have an infected computer and they need to gain access to it.

The last two squares of toilet paper that are welded to the toilet roll.

Memory card readers that are built into your computer and they won't fookin read your memory card. They are very sensitive you know. You just have to slide it in correctly, wiggle it about for a few seconds and then she, sorry, I mean it responds with a glowing red of green light.

Your computer telling you a folder is locked and you can't access it because you don't have sufficient privileges. WTF is going on with that? Foot in the ass right away.

Would you like to send an error report to Mikersoft? No I fookin wouldn't, and what is with all this mnemonic shy*e anyway?

Having to buy a new toothbrush every two weeks because the woosy little bristles can't take some real man brushing. It needs to grow a pair and man up FFS.

Yes! Walking!

Alot of people really arent very good at this.

I dont mean timing the legs to move the person along. That particular skill most people master when they are 1. I'm talking all the things that should have been learnt since then...

1. walking out of a shop into a busy street without watching for people already on said street.
2. thinking its a great idea to stop for whatever reason, exactly where it is narrowest, blocking the way for everyone. Doorways, bus stops, indoor public places etc
3. when a path wide enough for two people, one person walking (usually slowly) down the center, wavering slightly from one side the the next, just enough to stop people passing you, they become unable to move slightly to the side, or even see other people on the path. And I'm not talking about old/infirm/young children.
4. path of any width, two or more people walking together, side by side blocking the full width, become unable to see other people using the path.
5. crossing the road, myself clearly already on the other side of the road, people crossing so they reach path right in front of me. Fine. But then they become surprised/nervous/uncomfortable to find some walking immediately behind them.
6. Walking on busy street while looking at phone.

Walking classes in school anyone? I wonder do these same people drive like this too? It would explain alot I suppose...

Not trivial, but paying €2200 in tax this month annoyed me greatly.

If there was no dole, there would be no Tommy Tiernan. Is that what you want??

Ah Tommy, where would we be without his deafening humour.

In retrospect, I do get to use millions of euros worth of roads for my monthly chip in, so cant be too annoyed.

Personally i like to "brush" against them, with slight force, hoping that it might somehow get it into their thick heads to watch where theyre going........O Connell Bridge is my absolute black spot.

I see some people go into Richard Ashcroft mode on that street.

So you enjoying being an arsehole to other arseholes? 2 wrongs and all that…

What's starting to get to me about this thread is the constant, constant moaning about other people in buses or out walking. One or two little quips about these issues is fair enough but it's getting to the point of being a narcissistic, navel-gazing circle jerk. Chuck some valium in your cornflakes before you leave the house or just accept that there are lots of other people in the world and you're not special. Some people will rub you up the wrong way unintentionally but be safe in the knowledge that you'll do the same to others. You'll be happier in your day to day life if you realise this, especially if you chuck in the valium.

I think you seem to be getting more stressed by this thread than we are by buses and pedestrians. It's called "trivial things that annoy you", not "Substantive issues that are a scourge on humankind that are therefore of justifiable concern, and which must be eradicated immediately before we all die" - although there's an idea for a new thread...;)

I think you may be starting to take this thread seriously.....I would imagine to most its a bit of a joke more than anything, just a little something to brighten an otherwise dull and dreary day:P

Was having dessert yesterday after lunch in a coffee shop. My friend didn't order anything but I did. The waitress then brought cutlery for both so we could both eat it. I look up and my friend was giving me the Bambi eyes wondering if I was going to eat all the food that I ordered and paid for. I did. But it still annoyed me.

Is moaning about walking a constant theme on this thread? I feel silly now, as I didnt read back previous pages. But then there are over 500 of them...

My sister is pushing 20 years old and writes words like "sluh" instead of "sl*t" on her page. Granted it's a disgusting word but if she's going to say it at least spell it right and stop typing the way you speak...........

And I understand this is a very Waterfordish twang of speaking, so what makes it even worse is that me and my family are from Glasgow. So it is even more cringe worthy and irritating to see my sister writing "yarr some sluh, girl!!"... In the words of every Glasweigan, "Away ye go!"

Two bus related gripes (I know you love them):
-when people put their hand out for the bus even after it's indicated that it's pulling in
-when sitting in window seat and the randomer beside you (almost always an aul battleaxe) wont get up when you get up, even after asking they just stare into space pretending not to notice! Happened to me twice yesterday, almost missed my stop both times. (and no they werent deaf, they "heard" me eventually)
