People using "big words" in the wrong context.

You mean like "Hence"? Because nobody uses that one correctly.

They think they can drop it in place of "Therefore" or "Thus" and it'll be alright.

It's possible to do so but the majority of the time, it's wrong.

There's an international Bowling tournament going on, opposite my house but ireland are based at another ground down the road at St James' Gate-

England; are based here so it's effectively their home fcuking ground and they've slung up a banner, outside in Anglican red font on white that says THE BRITISH ISLES' Bowling Tournament and it appears like they're flaunting it and am concerned they are gona draw the wrong kind of attention..........

and Fred's gonna love that shìt.

People who post pictures on facebook of their kids "graduating" from playschool complete with mortarboard and "degree". I don't know why but it annoys the bejaysus out of me.

Blokes with eyes don’t fit in their head properly.
A few lads in work look like their eyes don’t fit properly, as if the eye balls are too big for the sockets.
It makes their face look like there are two boiled eggs being pushed through the necks of bottles.
Very disconcerting, makes it difficult to have conversations.

People who can't be àrsed to flush the toilet after themselves!

Cashiers in shops putting the change on the counter, instead of into your hand.

People who say, with faux embarrassment, 'I ended up in coppers again'.

The use of multiple question marks or exclamation marks in emails, usually by low level managers who have no clue how to communicate professionally.

"The report looks wrong???????????"

"I'm not happy with those figures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

If I see that nonsense in an email, I usually put it to the bottom of my list.

Related, when Irish media tries to claim things like the G8 meeting and various sporting events as Irish when they are quite clearly British.

I work in a small office, with no radio....so it's very quiet.....there is this oul one I work beside, who does nothing all day, and takes/receives personal calls all day...not only do I have to firstly listen to her infuriating mundane personal conversations for 10 minutes at a time while I'm trying to work, once she finishes the call, she'll turn to another colleague and tell HER the whole story of the call, EVEN THOUGH WE WERE ALREADY FORCED TO HEAR IT you f*cking c**t. Every f*cking day, without fail. Argh. I don't mind the odd chat during work but this is ridiculous.

When I was younger.....

The inevitable erection sitting on the bus my stop approached

The inevitable erection in mass at Lamb of God prayer, i.e. next thing is walking up to communion

Every bloody time. Long baggy jumpers was my only refuge
