So I presume you get really annoyed when you let someone out and they don't say thanks?

No.

OldNotWIse

People who continue on the conversation after it's been established that they dialled the wrong number.

"Oh is that not Joe?* Oh right... I thought it was Joe. Hang on now what number are you? Is this not Joe's number? Oh you're not Joe? I wonder how that happened now, I must have dialled blah blah blah"

* = the appropriate place to hang up the phone.

Like, what can we possibly do for each other once we have established that we dont want to talk?

Going into a public toilet, and seeing there's pubes all over the seat. Surely it's not that hard to clean up even a little bit after you're done.

Public toilet, not pubic.

I'm far too busy smearing excrement on the walls to notice pubes on the seat but I'll take your word for it.

Yup, also I have noticed lately a lot of toilet seats have pee on them...in the girls toilets How does that even happen?? And often its in work, where people are (presumably) not drunk and therefore not hovering and missing etc :(Baffles me...

It happened again today! Pet hate 101 - Pedestrian lights going red when theres no one to press them. It has happened previously at 7am on weekend mornings. ARGH!

try sitting at a red filter light, to let traffic out of a shopping centre, at 6am in the morning when the shopping centre is closed!!

Always said i would never break a red light untill this started happening, continuously on my way to work.

I've heard a story about a government report that went out using the phrase "pubic sector". No wonder people think civil servants are dicks! :pac:

Going to toilet at work, the cublicle next to you already has someone in it. During the duration of time your in there the guy in the other cubicle sits there and does nothing sitting quietly waiting for me to finish.

When people say "bite" when talking about getting food.

"Lets go get a bite to eat" or "We had a bite....."

I don't know why.

Because people tend to bite their food? Generally that's how eating works.

People chew their food too, but they don't go to restaurants for a chew to eat do they?

I can understand the origins, I don't know why it annoys me but I'm not the only one.

Shameful sh!tter! Terrified you'll hear the plop. Pooing at work is a contentious issue; books have been written on the topic. http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Poo-Work-Mats-Enzo/dp/1853757403/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1363011496&sr=1-1

Yeeeeeeees!!!!! You're waiting for them to finish (nothing worse than trying to have a quiet movement) and you know they are waiting for you to finish and it turns into a weird battle of toilet wills or something. I've wasted literally weeks of my life doing this. :rolleyes: Also happens occasionally where you've just sat down and someone comes in and stands outside waiting to go. I wait until they give up waiting

As far as I'm concerned the guy who was there first should finish up when someone else comes in, you've had your chance now let the next person have a quiet sh!t

the purple tin

People who post youtube clips recorded from the TV on their mobiles. ****ty sound and the phone wobbling about like they're on a pogo stick. Rest it on your knee or something you idiots.

old hippy

The person beside me on public transport who keeps their legs wide apart as if to display their manhood/mark their territory.

Stop touching my knee, or come out of the goshdarn closet :mad:

Ok picture the scene - your waiting on a lift from ground floor to your apartment on the fifth floor. Some lazy ****ehawk gets in the lift with you and presses the button to go to floor one.

Like taking two short flights of stairs is going to cause a triple bypass procedure!

Old people and women with buggies get a pass.

oicherider

People who say "Pacific" when trying to say "Specific" -

Its a funny one - Depending on the context it can range from being seriously annoying to mildly amusing!

I would do exactly the same as that person

On the subject of lazy *****hawks, the people who will circle supermarket car parks for ten minutes so they are within spitting distance from the doors, and oh god, the fu@king scumbags who 'invent' their own parking spaces in these already cramped car parks making it more of a bottle neck.

Firblog

People who won't (not can't) pronounce 'TH' in any word, Jesus I thought it was bad when Bertie was in power, Dis Dat Dem Dey...but he was the only one (not) doing it then, now the bloody airwaves seem to be full of the feckers, especially bloody Newstalk.

Ian Guider with the business news.. the ISEQ closed at 'tree tousand two hundred and tirty' up tirty points on the day.
Then there's the Molloy guy on about the movies.. Daniel Day lewis getting his turd oscar is surely a classic, Also yer man at luch time, Jonathan Healy, he normally pronouces TH no problem... except when he's chatting to some other twat who doesn't; then he seems to 'forget' how to do it, or is he being incredibly sly an taking the piss out of them by doing it too? Jesus I'd like to think that; but I doubt it.. Surely these idiots shouldn't be allowed on air if they won't speak properly? This is just a recent pet hate, but it is starting to bug the absolute crap outta me..

I even have the OH at it now She came back from a day long meeting where the main speaker was one of these annoying Aholes, and gave out to me because it never annoyed her previously... Ah the joys of sharing your problems an worries in life
