Trivial things that annoy you

The main gift I ordered for my husband hasn't arrived and I've now given up hope that it will be here in time.:( What's worse is that I can hear him upstairs wrapping my gifts:(:(

You mean he is not outside tying a huge bow on it and spraying deicer on the windscreen?

I hate when people do this on double decker buses.

Say if you are sitting down stairs and the bus reaches the final stop. The down stairs people start to exit the bus while the upstairs people usually have to wait until all downstairs people have left.

Then along comes this good Christian Samaritan from downstairs and stops the flow of downstairs people exiting the bus just so the upstairs people can leave the bus.

This 'good' act has an indirect affect on those downstairs and prevents them leaving the bus.

I usually barge past people like that. Samaritans my whole.

I can't drive and we were keeping the spending down this Christmas. The current delivery date is sometime up to New Years Eve

Solution:-

We're simple creatures Pumpkinseeds. He's a man, just grab his hand, drag him into the bedroom and jump on top of him, always works. Any thoughts about gifts are completely gone after an hour.

Only happens at Christmas. Why do so many people congregate around the entrance to shopping centres and shops in general. I went to my local Fidl store a few nights ago, thinking I would not have crowds of people standing day dreaming in the middle of the aisles, dopey cnuts, waken up it's 11am. Anyway, back to the plot, a crowd of people standing right inside the doorway, fooking yakking away like it was a meeting of Ballynagash Urban District Council, I wouldn't have minded so much but it's a small entrance, wanted to tell them to fook off home.

That would be me. I have been known to dip bread or sandwiches in tea too.

Airport currency exchange, an absolute joke. I flew into Edinburgh airport from Dublin and changed 295 euros to £217 pounds , thats a bleeding £30 mark up on what I should get. I just looked on line converting the same amount and the end result was £247. I will just have to plan from now on and change my currency at the bank before travelling to another country, leaving enough euro to travel and eat in between. :mad:

And it's not just xmas lads, people are always doing that. Walk behind a person as they enter a shop and nine times out of ten they'll stop and look vacantly to the left

Leaving a church is the worst. Yes we must now all walk at the slowest f*cking pace ever :mad:

I was thinking more along the lines of a ghost in the machine wind up. If I could figure out how to spook him by remotely accessing the laptop while he is using it and start typing really creepy messages. I'm thinking a picture of a banshee with a speech bubble saying, "Stop annooooooooying your siiiiiiiister. Remember those Japanese knives she bought your father? They're verrrrrrry fuucking sharp! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" hahaha Mam would have some job washing his pants then I can tell ya.

No, the washing machine would have some job.

The indirect affect being you have to wait 30 seconds longer to get off the bus ? Have you ever missed your stop because of it...I doubt it.

Cake and biscuits and toast NEED an ol swig of tea with them

Well at least you figure it out by yourself. He just follows me around like a toddler. When he stands there making repeated requests I can actually see his thumb in his mouth and a raggy teddy bear by his side :P Whats annoying is that its nothing to do with his comprehension abilities - I've seen him working out his wages/tax to the exact cent, but when he thinks someone will do something for him, he shuts down. He does the same with my mother with the kitchen appliances. Why learn how to differentiate between the toaster and the washinig machine when Irish mammy will do everything for you? Intellectual laziness thats all it is. And then she wonders why he cant meet a woman? Like trying to rehome a dog that hasnt been trained

This is my friend. She recently moved in with my other friend (about 3/4 weeks now) and so far, she's asked how to use the washing machine five times, asked if the numbers on the microwave were minutes or seconds, and has given out to the other friend for using her Christmas mug! Oh and she drives to the bus stop which is 5 minutes walk away and then tells me I'm lazy coz I can't walk due to being 9 months pregnant/full of stitches post birth (this was 4 months ago but it still annoys me! ).

Hipster gobshíte in the garage giving out to the aul dear for wishing him a merry Christmas.
"Not everyone in Ireland goes in for that crap"..

Now I'm as much a non believer as the next man but had to troll him,

'May God forgive you lad', he was about to lash me till he turned and saw I was towering over him, so instead skulked out muttering.

On my way out to my car, there he was pointing me out to his piss poor hipster wife, in their pisspoor hatchback..

People who only go to mass on Christmas Eve, and don't step into the church for another year.

Words cannot explain how much this annoys me, for some reason it just does.

Either go everyweek or don't go at all. It's hugely hypocritical. Don't just go because it's 'Christmas and a special occasion'.

I love that that will play on his mind for so long, wouldn't be surprised if he reads this himself!

Not half as hypocritical as those who do go every week but fail to practice what they preach. Plenty of people up my way hug the pews on a Sunday while the roast is on, but dont talk to their sick, elderly neighbours over a land dispute, and keep their dogs chained up outside in the elements 24/7. My good deeds during the year earn me my ticket to mass on Christmas eve to enjoy the atmosphere so suck it up :P

People, who when you offer them something to eat which they have not had before ( mad stuff like Thai green curry or Lasagne) and they look at you as if you just asked them to eat a boiled baby and say " Oooooh no, I couldn't eat something like that, I will just have a potato, plain"

Dropped into Lidl in a certain part of Dublin , felt like I needed to be fumigated and go into alcohol rehab after inhaling the fumes from the other customers today !

Did that recently, and it was liked being held up at gun point, without an actual gun being used. Grrrrrrrrr.
