    People leaving their indicator on for miles.

    People who indicate when they've already slowed down executed the turn. I'll effing execute you.

    People pulling out onto the road as you're approaching and then making you go at their snails pace.

    Pedestrians who press the green man when you're the only car on the road.

    I don't particularly like people going on about diets, but I dont like really fat people either. Give me a slim girl talking about a diet, rather than a fat one munching a bag of crisps. Though this is not the thread for that kind of unpopular remark I imagine.

    Reminds me, I absolutely hate those stupid fb circulars with pictures of fat women and cheesey lines such as "all women are beautiful" or "womens hearts are beautiful therefore all women are real" bullsh1t twiddle twaddle. Some people are just...fat. It doesn't make them beautiful...no more than being a stick on a catwalk necessarily makes you beautiful.

    lots of people actually...but they're already buried in my garden :D

    Or fat wans who are regarded as "Great Fun!!". Meaning simply that they never shut up, but bang on and on almost hysterically, being "great craic!!", all to hide the fact that they're dead inside. And fat. :D

    I think that's to do with their body weight putting too much atmospheric pressure on themselves and giving them the bends.

    Hate to tell ya, but there's 18 different species of mosquito IN Ireland.

    Yeah, I can agree with that. Most of the fcukers manage to find me! :mad:

    For all the posters that are tired of ould ones in front of them paying for their shopping in pennies, I think I just came across the best one ever; trivial, annoying, but seriously funny as fcuk! :D


    Just home now from picking up a few things in Dunnes Stores, and there was this old lady in front of me still packing her stuff while I was fumbling for notes in my wallet, when €5 flipped out and fell on the floor.

    I figured I'd pick it up in a minute rather than risk headbutting the old lady (I'm the most accident prone fcuk!). Next thing the old lady went from just crooked over to full on bent double in a flash, had the €5 up in her hand and was about to stuff it in her granny trolley when I held out my hand and said "Thank you".

    I couldn't believe she actually hesitated before she uttered the line that still had me laughing half an hour later-

    "Ohh sorrreeee, I thought it was mine..." :pac:

    Reminded me of this -

    The way people respond when you tell them you've just broken up with your boyfriend. By people, I mean my family/friends! :P I know they all meant well but 3 things really got on my nerves today!

    'Come on out with us this weekend and we'll show you how to be single and have fun'
    'You were so good together, you looked really happy'

    The worst one....'You can do better than him anyway!!' Eh, you were the one saying he was lovely and perfect for me, now you're telling me I can do better because you think thats what I want to hear!?

    I hate parents who use shopping centres like they are creches. I've nothing against kids, they are after all, kids and they need to run around, I get that. But they should be properly supervised. Last week I narrowly avoided being headbutted in the abdomen by a child running around the shopping mall, not looking where he was going, while the parents were oblivious to him. If he'd bumped into me at the speed he was going and I'd been pregnant or had recent abodominal surgery it could have been a nightmare.

    Today I couldn't believe my eyes while queueing in the supermarket. There was a dad playing tennis with his toddler down the length of the mall. I mean dafuq parents:eek::eek::confused::mad:

    I left my wallet in my parents house on Sunday. Went down to get it today and left without it again! Couldnt buy cigarettes on the way home and now Im pretty sure Im turning into some sort of monster. I think Id do just about anything for a cigarette right now :(

    Slightly geeky, this one: I get annoyed at a particular stylistic cliché used on a lot of Internet videos. I think it's all done using the same software (Adobe After Effects): the "fake camera movement" added to still images. Examples:

    1) Obvious effect on every shot = annoying, and it detracts from what are otherwise beautiful pictures:



    2) A more subtle, creative example: less of the effect, on about half the shots = much less annoying:



    It wouldn't be so annoying if it hadn't become such a cliché. Apparently, someone decided "the camera can never stand still", and so movement has to be added if there isn't any to begin with ... :rolleyes:

    when you ask someone something and they answer "What", But they have clearly heard what you have asked, and they make you repeat it....while they process their answer. Sometimes i just stare at them until they answer....

    Sorry to hear you broke up with your boyfriend. I remember reading a post of yours about the two of you and you seemed happy together. (Sorry, that's going to add to the list of comments that will get on your nerves but I mean well :pac:)

    Anyway, hope you're alright!

    Another related one is people who say "Which?" in that situation. At least "What?" works in that context, but "Which?" is used to ask someone to make a choice from a set of options e.g. "which beer shall I get you?". It's not a general question starter. :o

    Cuddle him! He will be so shocked at your level of commitment that you're willing to cuddle him that he'll instantly get back with you :pac:

    Very original comment I know :o

    I think everybodys guilty of this at some stage :o

    I HATE when I do this. It's like an automatic response "What?" and then about half a second later after I've said "what" I realise I actually did hear the person :o
