    What I hate is when people open the window directly above them. The air doesn't hit you then. It hits the person sitting behind you!

    Worse still, is during the Summertime when you are travelling from one part of the country to another by bus or coach, and it is very humid. Not one person will get up and open a window. I had a battery operated fan with me thankfully, one year travelling from Galway to Dublin and people were looking at me as if I had just stepped off the fookin mothership.

    People who don't give me a gift receipt with a present. How am I supposed to return it for something I actually want if I don't like what they've gotten me?

    Getting receipts for some objects I have bought recently makes me laugh or makes me irratated. I bought blu tac recently to stick up decorations and lights around the windows and I thought why do I need a receipt? Is it going to break, is it going to run out before I get everything stuck up, does it need batteries inserted into it and of course you have to use a tiny screwdriver to open the hatch, verrryyyy carefully or it will break and render it useless.

    People who say "actioned" or "actionable", they're all utter *****.

    I can just imagine the inarticulate spanners sitting in remedial English class as the teacher explains that a verb is an action word. Just then what they must believe is the most earth shatteringly intelligent idea that his ever attempted to blossom in that barren shrivelled little organ rattling about between their ears occurs to them, an action word is it, well action is surely the most actioney word there is and so from this moment forth it's the only verb for me.

    The footpath on O'Connell Street in Dublin. How they managed to ensure that any slight rainfall results in 2-3mm of water lying at all times is beyond me. Of course there's also the gullies that run along the middle of the street for no reason, always lovely to avoid someone and walking through it.

    Having a few bulmers, the first three go uneventfully, the fourth one promptly showers me in froth upon its opening.. Is there a man in Clonmel with a vendetta against society just shaking the bejesus out of the odd bottle or something!?

    Sending Christmas cards and not getting any back.

    Don't get me wrong, I know some people don't send them; that's fine, but if I go to the effort of sending you a card, at least send me one back, ffs.
    I'm writing a list of people who have sent me cards this year and next year ONLY those people are getting cards from me!

    And, yes I realise this is a silly petty thing to get annoyed over, but it does!
    I walked around all the neighbours' houses last week, in the pi**ings of rain to deliver the cards through the letterboxes and I only got two back!

    STOP BEING STINGEY!

    The stickiness of car carpet and trying to Hoover bits of crap off it for about an hour , ending up with a twisted back and neck , a red head and a nervous breakdown after an hour of frustration!
    Note to self : stop being a stingy bo***x and get a car valet next time !

    This morning, driving along and I see a cyclist approaching from opposite direction, lights on and a hi vis , you could see him from approx. half a KM away, to be commended. However, when I got a bit closer, I notice, cars coming from behind him, having to indicate and drive round him, why? because he is cycling SIX INCHES TO THE RIGHT OF THE RED CYCLING LANE.............WHY???

    Queue jumping. 2 young Asian girls, aged early to mid 20's, jumped the queue ahead of 2 long lines of shoppers, myself included,today. As I've mentioned in an earlier post I'm all out of goodwill to all men/women, in fact the only Christmas spirit I'm finding this year is at the bottom of a large gin and tonic.

    Anyway, I'd had enough of it, the giggling before they did it pushed me over the edge, so I left the trolley, walked up to them, tapped one on the shoulder and said 'Just so you know, there's a very long queue and you should be at the back of it' It's the little things that make you feel happy.

    Good for you. The thing that annoys me more than people jumping the queue, is people saying nothing to them so they get away with it.

    I'd have to ask my husband that, he was with me, but I'm in such an ar$ey mood today he'd probably be smart enough not to answer that one:D
