Trivial things that annoy you

The full make-up job in the gym, don't understand that at all. It looks so inappropriate and incongruous.

Better close my eyes the next time I'm in the gym, in case I accidentally see someone.

Yeah, big difference between noticing something and staring.

Someone asks question.

I may have mentioned this before, but a couple of years ago, in a sauna at local pool, there is a sign up PLEASE SHOWER BEFORE USE. women would come in, NOT showered (dry hair and smelling of Impulse), I did say it to them, and one said, "sure I will only be a few minutes".....It went on, one says to the other " I swear Mary, I just cant shift the last of the weight to get back in the sixteen" I am thinking, last time she saw sixteen, it was on a bus. It went on, "Honestly, even Easter Sunday, all I ate was ONE sweet" yeah, it must have been a fuucken three piece suite, ya big hippo (to myself)

It is my understanding that women who parp on and on and on about weight, food, syns, self deprivation (usually of wine, bread, real sugar) and obsess not only about what they are not eating but what other people are eating....are usually fat f*cks and that really, though they might wobble between a discretionary 10lbs either way... overall they are still just fat f*cks who like to talk about dieting. Most people I know with a healthy approach to food will eat a fuucking mars bar if they want and be done with it. Contrast that with the ones who freeze their chocolate ("in case I eat the whole thing") and eat it one excruciating piece at a time - remembering to convert each piece to points/syns/calories each time.

you know those blokes who knock at about 8pm , who shoot straight in to it, like you have been sitting in waiting for him to call and change your life

"Hi, I'm Vernon, can I ask do you have SKY ?"
"Why ? (big manky SKY dish on top of my house, so I know this crowd sent their best man)
"what? do you have SKY, is it the white box you have?"
"but why are you asking me this?"
"I can save you some money"
" No thanks"
Then, get this, he actually snorts and says.."ha, you don't want to save money"
"nah, its alright thanks, I have loads"
"I can get you a deal on the sports"
" I don't watch sports"

You have to be a man, to appreciate the look on another mans face when you say this to them

Now please fuuck off my lands before I release the hounds. Would that count as watching sport?

Similar to when I was minding my own business walking through Gatwick Airport, lad accosts me;
"Sir, would you like a one in fifty chance of winning an Aston Martin???!!!"
'No thanks, I already have a car'

He was gobsmacked, "but, but......" as i walk off.

+1. Most callers today are going to be clipboard-wielding lanyard-sporting bell ends on commission.
If I'm eating my dinner or watching telly, they can fcuk off.

I only answer the door if I'm expecting someone. I may have a sneaky look through the blinds to see if it's someone I recognise first if I'm not expecting a caller.

People who sit directly on the benches in the sauna without placing a towel under their sweaty bums. They then proceed to sweat directly onto the bench and then get up and leave a pool of sweat for the next person to sit in.

I also mind that I am, seemingly, the only person in Ireland who finds this disgusting. Even the management of these establishments think that I'm nutty when I complain about this. Usual response: "we can't ask people to use a towel in the sauna".

I do not use saunas in this country.

1. I only let people in by appointment now. If I don't get a text from someone at least 24 hours beforehand, no getty inny.

2. Rigged up webcams to look out at the front of me gaff. If I see any clipboard wielding ne'er do wells approaching, then I'm not in. They can ring the front door bell as much as they like.

3. Even when I'm in, I'm out. Hey man, I called round on Saturday morning at 9am, but you weren't in. Correct, I was out. Same thing in the evening, always out, even if the lights are on and you can hear the tv and people chatting inside..... I'm still out, now f**k off.

Thanked for "getty inny" and "ne'er do wells".

That assumption is a rather ignorant leap. My point is that when one has paid for a home delivery one is rather stupid to stand outside waiting for it.

In a fast food place one does not pay for table service, therefore, yes, I do tidy up after myself. I do not, however, do work that I have paid somebody else to do. In this case, the customer has paid the delivery company to ring their doorbell and hand them a pizza. Standing outside in the cold giving directions is not part of that contract.

If the company hires people too stupid to find a house then I don't support their business.

Its STILL only a bleedin pizza:D

Same here, not least because if I'm not expecting anyone the place is almost definitely a tip. I don't mind if it's one of my friends like but there's a fair chance it'll either be a Jehovah's (**** off) or just some neighbour wanting to talk about something parish/cattle related and the next time I go into the shop in the village it'll be:

"Well I hear SOMEONE was still in her dressing gown at 2 o clock in the afternoon the other day"

I don't unless I expect company, nobody ever calls over unless they ask first so it's either chuggers or salesmen, both can go jump.

So otherwise it wouldn't be?! Shut up!!

People who take a lifetime at ATM machines despite there being a queue behind them. And then they start fiddling around pressing buttons before withdrawing their card and no cash. And usually to top it off the whip another card out and off we go again.

While I agree with your point, I must say I take issue with people who say 'ATM machines'.

Similar to the delivery driver stabbed on his last delivery.

Would have been any less tragic if he had years of deliveries left??!

Its like when there's been a body found by a man out walking his dog, like what relevance does it have. Maybe i'll bring my pet alligator on walks from now on.

"Body found by man out walking his pet alligator"

Or what if someone finds a body when they're walking on their own, is it going to look suspicious or something??
