Trivial things that annoy you

Our equivalent of Joe Duffy here in Cork is Neil Prendeville. It seems that half of people that end up on the air, generally the older generations go on about 'I don't mind that kind of carry on, Niall' or 'I think we're going to hell in a hand basket, Niall' or 'There's a website where you can get up to size 11 high heels, Niall'.

Drives me bananas so it does, Niall.

It annoyed a lot of people too who couldn't deal with Neill pulling out his snake on a plane!

The ones who interupt you when you're having a chat with someone outside a pub with a friend, with convoluted stories about trains to wexford. One guy a few weeks ago actually rolled up his sleeve to show us his tattoos and said, "look I am genuine" - I just stared at him in complete confusion Best way to get rid of 'em is ask what time the train is due.

Edit: and it's usually when you're just about to deliver a punchline too. Also, I dont know why but it annoys me when they ask everyone in the group individually. Like, if I ignored you while my 3 friends were telling you they've no change/smokes/tickets to wexford then it's likely I dont have any either. Also, when you ignore them and they keep shouting "sorry love!?" reeeealllly loudly at you!

For some reason every time I get to a song I like, someone phones me and interrupts.

THe Harlem Shake thing-Why everyone insists on doing their own version is beyond me. Received an invite to a house party where the guests would be performing in a video later. It's stupid. Seriously trivial and annoying.

• people who say hubby
• Rachel from the radio ad about breastfeeding
• Radio ads that use completely unnecessary sound effects. We know that petrol makes an engine go, no need to have the sound of an engine starting
• People who say leave instead of let e.g. "don't leave him in, he's a bogey"
• people at red lights who forget they are driving a car and get distracted so when the lights turn green they don't move for ages
• general cµnts
• people who walk about holding their phones up at arm's length while talking through a headset of Bluetooth. Usually people who own iPhones or Galaxy SIII, but lately it's people who own Galaxy Notes.
• People who think that having an app on their phone makes them a more interesting person
• FB people who Like and Share posts about 500 free iphones or ipads because they are unsealed and can't be sold.

apart from that I'm pretty laid back

Rachel Allen the TV cooks accent, drives me insane.

Certain people who add the word "like" or should I say "loike" to every single sentence

Ah sure we'll leave the Corkonians out of this one, they don't say it in every sentence and its more liiiike than loike;)

greenflash

People who ask questions by making a statement then throwing "is it?" in at the end. Corkonians are the worst for it in my experience. I always answer them with "it is" or "it isn't" and wait for the confusion on their face.

Corkie: "You're going back to Dublin this evening is it?".

Me "It isn't".

Why can't the they just ask "when are you going back to Dublin?". They come across as beyond stupid with that "is it?" krap.

I can handle 'like' but its adding 'boy' or 'girl' at the end of sentence that does my head in eg "How are you girl". BTW I'm living in Cork....

I never really paid much attention before, but "brannies wish busher"


Oh for god's sake Nigella! :eek:


"I don't wan't it too stiff, just fluff it up, it's quite hard, now just put it in the fridge, it's a tight squeeze but it's in there"

How many bloody innuendos can you fit into one sentence? :pac:


(watching Nigella on Food Network, filthy mare! )

"well bhoy", yeah, thats a real waterford one, there. the blahs have to put boy/girl with everything!!

Just got home from work see that Defiance is on TV. It reminded me of another trivial thing I hate - when films are made in English about chracters and stories that were not originally English speaking.

It's even worse when the characters speak English with the accent of the place the story is set (in this case Daniel Craig and the rest speaking English with a Russian accent).

But the worst f**king thing is when there is some use of the actual language the story is set in during the film (in this case Craig speaking Russian to a Russian partisan group, but still speaking English to the other characters.) All it does is highlight the fact that the whole language of the film is a sham.

Look, for a lot of people, it's their accent. It's mine also. We're in Ireland, this is how we speak, and I'm not ashamed of it. Nobody said we have to pronounce the 'th' "correctly". There is no standard pronunciation.

It's not an accent. If it was then everyone from the same place would drop their 'ths'. As it is only some ever do, the ones who were never taught to pronounce their words properly. Only a minority of the population do this and i think it should be beaten out, with sticks if necessary.

Especially them, guide dogs would kill you and everyone you know without thinking twice about it.

People who walk up or down a stairs, right in the middle. Pick a fcuking side for Christ sake!

I noticed yesterday I don't like setting off automatic doors unless I actually have to go through them.

The shop at the petrol station beside me is pretty tight in terms of space and you have to walk past the door to get from one area of the shop to the checkout, I seem to do my upmost to get to the checkout without setting it off.

Actually, maybe that's OCHD as opposed to trivial.

Probably best to stay in the middle then.

people who pick their noses in public, like excaviting a site they are. Reagardless of where they are and then eating it... its the most vile habit ever.

Women that way side by side super slowly and then expect you to walk on the road to get around them, that or standing in the stairwell and block the whole place up just so they can talk about fupping shoes.

Define "properly".
