Trivial things that annoy you

I saw a sign up a while ago saying "stop dumpin here, your bein videoed" hahahaha

When you open the butter and it's about 50% butter, the rest is made up of turnips, potatoes, gravy and bread and toast crumbs. ****ing disgusting.

Use running water. Even the Bible got that right. Nothing should be washed in "piggy water".

Don't use running water, it's wasteful. What you do is wash all the not-too-dirty stuff (glasses, cereal bowls etc.) in a small amount of water. Then rinse under the tap (not on full blast though) over the sink so that the water is used for washing dirtier stuff after.
Just rinse everything.

A thing that annoys me: the fact that people in Ireland don't rinse dishes after washing them. There's feckin washing up liquid on them for feck's sake!:mad:

Have you been to every Irish person's house to check how they wash their dishes to make such a sweeping statement?

Everyone I know rinses afterwards (those whose dishwashing habits I have observed).

It's not butter, it's the devils alternative.

Dirty (you not the dishes)

Ironically, I was also going to say I hate people quoting posts unnesseccarily. You get someone quoting the whole OP just to put in a two word post themselves.

No, I haven't, and you know I haven't.

Any houses I have been in, be it family or friends, no rinsing of dishes.

Regarding sweeping generalisations, I don’t think I made one. Besides in life we have to make generalisations, we all do it.
You’ve never said town X is a sh1thole?
You’ve never said Americans/French people or whoever are arrogant/friendly/whatever?
You’ve never said Chinese food is(n’t) very nice?

These are all generalisations. Without them, you’d never be able to give an opinion on anything. You wouldn’t be able to say you dislike Chinese food as you haven’t tasted every single dish from every single region and every single restaurant. Ditto French people, you haven’t met them all.
In this case, my remark about the non-rinsing of dishes was based solely on my own experiences.

When drivers pull out of a side street and stop in the cycle lane, and you have to swerve out into traffic so you don't go straight over their bonnet. Thoughtless twonks.

When it catches on the belt loop of your trousers is worse. Makes you look like a right spanner.

The fact that cricket, is a sport.
Idiots on the radio crying about 'their' team, Man Utd are out of the Champions league. Cop on you fools. Most of you have never even been to Manchester.

When there's very slow moving traffic and you want to cross the road. A car is very slowly pulling past you and you decide you'll go to cross quickly behind it. Car then stops as you're about to make you're move.

You either:
A) Walk into it or;
Do this retarded pirouette / stumble to avoid colliding with it but look like an idiot to everyone behind!

Don't be an idiot and walk out into moving traffic... this annoys me

Why are there people who would never dream of walking in front of a moving car, but who think nothing of walking behind a reversing one?

Drivers(Men&Women) who leave their car at the petrol pump and go into the shop and treat like there doing there weekly shop take about 20 mins to come out saunter back to the car oblivious to everything

I'm talking about traffic moving at a snail's pace, stopping and starting; often the car behind has stopped and beckoned you to cross.

And @Candie, the car isn't reversing, just stopping. I make my move thinking it's about to move from the space I want to walk in, but it suddenly stops dead.

Lighten up; it's not annoying me because the driver stopped, it annoys be because it's a mild inconvenience and makes me look like an idiot!:D

Myself and my dad got stuck behind this stupid ****ing weirdo driver today. He let 10 cars out in front of him. Just stopped and let them out of the carpark while we were stuck behind them. One or two grand but 10 is just taking the piss. :mad:

What really freaking bothers me.....

Women with high pitched noises on TV, esp the news when they are arguing, I can't get it turned off quick enough.

Women with high pitched voices should only be given jobs in day-care for children.
