    The young couple with a toddler a few houses away from ours are really p*ssing me off lately. The layout of these houses means their garden is only about 100 metres or so away from our back garden and bedroom window. They don't work and the child seems to be on the same sleep pattern as them. I thought kids were supposed to have sleep routines:confused: It wasn't so bad when it was cool enough to shut our bedroom window but fcuk it having a toddler shouting and running around the garden until the early hours of the morning is bloody ridiculous. It's been like that every night for months now. They always seem to be out in the garden in the middle of the night.

    They aren't antisocial just fricking thoughtless and clueless.

    When your queueing at the only manned checkout in the supermarket, another one opens, the girl asks if anyone wants to come over to her and some fecking prick behind you dashes across with their trolley like Bolt usain. I'm next, I should be given the choice to go over first :mad:

    The way yer man from The Script pronounces the word "taxi" in their new single. It's like "Neither one of us want to take that tee-axi home". Jars every time. Seriously, where did ya get that accent from? Maybe he's specifically talkin' bout a Noo Yawk teeaxi?

    Jaysus I'm a real cranky pants today.

    You're going for the last bag of Snax (started out as a 6 pack), and the bottom of the little bag is stuck to the outer bag and therefore air has attacked the last bag of Snax and they're now soft and chewy. You try one, it's rank...then try another to make sure it wasn't just that one that the air got to.

    Companies changing perfectly good recipes.


    Snax and Loop the Loops being two that spring to mind, immediately.

    I had my suspicions about loop the loops, but thought it was my imagination. I wouldn't mind snax as I haven't tasted them in years, but lets just keep our fingers crossed they never touch the skips!

    I feel this thread has a rant building in me...

    1) Men who insist on taking off their shirts on public transport. I know this is a double standard- but if you were Taylor Laughtner I could probably cope but they are never approaching that level of hotness. Im not a touchy feely girl so touching a randomers chest does not appeal.
    2) People who randomly text you with 'Any craic' Any news or any scandal, or any combination of the three;
    3) Random people staring at you on the bus;
    4) Littering;
    5) Unnecessarily loud mobile phone conversations on public transport;
    6) People who return your cv to you while simultaneously rejecting your application;
    7) The entire experience of the AIB transaction. Only one cashier working on the desk, the hour long wait, and the three aib employees walking up and down asking if you have tried online banking; also the ridiculous charges;
    8) The entire staff of SUSI, who were unfailingly rude and unhelpful;
    9) People who ask me if I have been applying for jobs or trying jobs websites;
    10) Men who seem to think its okay to stroke my hair, put their hand on the small of my back, attempt to pick me up or ask my bra size in the first five minutes of meeting me.
    11) People who ask you personal questions, if I knew you well enough to volunteer the information I would share it with you.
    12) The assumption that everyone from the west of ireland knows eachother.
    13) Discovering that I lost my Leap card again.
    14) The sad fact that I dont get ID'd anymore :(


    Well that was therapeutic!

    I'll never forget the horror I experienced, when I opened a packet of Skips a few years back, and they were totally different. The lovely flavour was replaced by fizzibly blandness. It was as though the flavour had been watered down, they were horrific. It wasn't just one or two packs, it was a consistent run of horribleness, which lasted months. From memory though, nobody else seemed to notice the difference.

    Perhaps my taste buds were revolting, but there was definitely something awry.

    I should explain I mean literally picking me up, or physically lifting me off the ground.

    People who say "Sambwich" instead of sandwich.

    People who add extra syllables into words.

    But most of all... The thing that makes me crazy... iPhone autocorrects.

    The coke zero ad - the one at the cinema where the guy replaces everyone's coke with coke zero. Is it just me or is the way the guy says the word coca-cola really annoying?

    You can spot the Usain Bolts. They get all twitchy when they spot the second checkout being set up, getting ready to make their move. It's great when they all sprint over and there's a problem with the checkout and you end up leaving the shop ahead of them.

    Snax were changed twice as far as I know. Once they changed to have those 3 strips on them, but it wasn't that bad. But now they changed to one of the mankiest crisps on the market. Used to be my favourite crisps. Wouldn't give them to the dog now.
