    so are you the female that gets stuck with it all?

    No, I'm the male that tries to pull his weight.

    That annoying bar on YouTube which says "Watch the Wimbelton quarter final live now!" And when you click on it "sorry the user has made this content unavailable in your country".
    Like wtf?! If I can't bloody watch it then why bloody advertise it?!

    When websites change their perfectly fine designs to new, crap ones for no reason

    There's some lemony smelling soap you can get that it's such a pungent lemon smell it stays right down to when the soap is nearly finished, I can't think of the name of it though but mind you it'd take tar off the roads, definitely not for sensitive skin, but great for washing the day off in the shower! :D

    Oooh might try find it :) I love citrus flavours, they just smell clean :) Only recently discovered how nice it is to take a shower before bed. I always preferred first thing in the morning but now its both. The water has to be just a little bit too hot, and a good bar of soap, fresh jammies and a mug of camomile tea - heaven :D (and I'm officially old :()

    Cyclists not using the bloody cycle lane on the foothpath, get off the road!

    Pedestrians walking in the cycle lane that's beside the footpath. Get out of the cycle lane.

    Also motorists who think they are the only ones allowed to use the road.




  • Cyclists thinking that just because they're on a bicycle, the rules of the road don't apply to them.

    That one does annoy the hell out of me as well as it does with motorists that break red lights, or park in cycle lanes or bus lanes, or drive in bus lanes to skip traffic, or stopping in junction boxes etc... basically bad road manners.

    Worse - people who still think eircom are the only broadband provider in this country, then get shafted with a 70mb package for €80 a month, to get on the Internet with their ten year old desktop, just so they can go on Facebook...

    Bite down, bite down hard... and relax :(

    When you walk into McDonalds and stand looking up at the menus, trying to decide what you want and there are always 4 or 5 cashiers free and waiting to serve you, some even call you even though you are clearly making your mind up. Yet when you go in knowing exactly what you want....there's a queue.

    Original Source lemon shower gel, nothing nasty in it and actually made with loads of lemons costs 1.49 in supermarkets. If you're flush L'occitane verbena is a lovely shower gel too. I'm on the budget original source though but it's lovely and refreshing and not tested on furries either.

    Having tested the tea tree original source on my own furry bits, I can see why! It was like somebody had set fire to them! :pac:

    You'll come out of the shower feeling like somebody cattle prodded your whole body, it's THAT kind of "refreshing!" :D


    While I'm here, I wasn't going to say anything but I can't keep it in now -

    Grown men and women holding hands in public - STOP THAT!

    I haven't held hands with a woman since I was a child, and she was my mother, I can make my own way around without being led by the hand!

    Bloody walking down the street today and some middle-aged couple came out of a restaurant in front of me on the path. "I'll just pass them out" I thought. Next thing they took hold of each others hands and I just... "You're not fcuking serious!" :mad:

    Get onto a nice empty bus hoping for a quick journey and on
    the next stop the entire spanish armada gets on. And none of them
    have the correct change to make it a quick ordeal.

    I,M in the queue , in the supermarket,
    the person in front buy 5 euros, worth of grocerys , then pay by credit card.
    which takes 3 minutes to process.
    Cmon ,you really don,t have 5 euro cash to spare?

    news website that have ADS That play music ,or audio, ,

    Reminds me of those adverts on websites decades ago that used have the smileys for MSN that when the page would load you'd hear "Hellooo! Hellooo!", fcuking annoying as hell, that was before Adblock though! :D

    Parking in the disabled spots in my local Tesco

    Security man 15 metres away just inside the door and he doesn't give a fook.
    Or maybe he was told to do nothing by management.

    There are over 200 spaces and most less then 60 seconds walk! What's your excuse?

    People cycling on footpaths. Really gets on my tits. :mad:

    Footpaths are for feet, a bicycle is a vehicle. O'Connell st is really bad for it. Hate it the most when your strolling along minding your own business and some fuk zips right past you from behind, it scares the crap out of me.
    Every time I see a cyclist coming speeding toward me I have to fight the urge to stick my arm out and clothesline the kunt off their bike :mad:

    I recently bought a new laptop, expensive enough one and noticed as soon as i opened it that those two little stickers (you know the ones, concerning the processor and graphics card installed) on the bottom right of the keyboards were crooked. I know it's not the most stimulating of jobs to be applying those stickers to laptops 12 hours a day, 7 days a week but to have them correctly aligned is the least you could ask for when forking out a 4 figure sum. :cool:

    Better not tell the wheelchair bound this startling revelation. Particularly the ones using motorised wheelchairs.

    :mad: This. Got lamped out of it by a guy on a bike cycling on the path when I was 8 months pregnant, after just stepping out of a shop door.
    Also, cyclists not using the cycle paths when they're actually in good nick, and using the middle of the road instead.
