was in phoenix park today and their was old guys cycling on the footpath as well! WTF! there was so many people walking in....the roads were empty! i really really just would like to give one of them a kick off their bike one day...just one!

I was in the PP riding on the cycle paths and the number of muppets doing stuff like walking their dogs, letting their kids play on them, stretching across them* and other stupid sh!t is ridiculous.


*Two soccer players were performing partner-assisted stretches across the bloody cycle path. Cretins! There's hundreds of acres of grass right beside you!

People's obsession with the weather.
Soccer news on the sports reports, when there's pretty much no soccer on at the moment. I don't fu <king care what that little knacker Wayne Rooney had for his lunch.
People who are unable to swim and think it's great getting into a lake or river in the hot weather, unfortunately resulting in drownings. 4 over the past week, probably be one or two more over the weekend.
It's not an "accident" if the fella crashed the car while driving at 100mph and in the horrors drunk. It's reckless driving.
The term "non nationals" is stupid. They're "foreigners". You don't call amateur golfers "non professionals".
Poor spelling
Poor punctuality, if you say you'll be here at 5, be here at 5.
Knackers, I hate them all.

Hate the fact that whenever you are plugging in a USB device in PC / laptop, you always try it upside down first every time.

Nah, I'm from the Midlands and I don't hear many people call them Tayto.

When you're driving on a scorching hot day and you have all your windows open, stop at a traffic light enjoying the day and then some muppet comes flying up into the next lane, stops right beside you with his crap music playing from his crap car as loud as possible. These clowns are everywhere. What are they trying to prove?

Ace Attorney

Those black flies that seem to be never ending this year!, they are massive, you kill one and you have peace for half an hour until another one comes in to take its place, Bastards!

It's about as senseless as calling a vacuum cleaner a "hoover" (as many people do); under the name 'Hoover' the Hoover company bought and promoted the first portable vacuum cleaner. Similarly, the first cheese & onion crisps were invented by Joe Murphy's Tayto company, hence 'Tayto' is a synonym for crisps in many places.

Supraman

In vegas at the moment ... Club promoters promising free entry ... Getting to the door to be asked for $20 and you get a "free drink" . Bear in mind it's only a whiskey , vodka or rum for that money . Can't moan too much though . Got the entrance few back from the club manager and won a nice few quid in the casino after !!!

when your not on the computer and realise something trivial but annoying that you could post in said tread but then cant remember what it was when your actually on the thread:mad:

Jimmy Garlic

Auld wans in super markets that take forever to take their money out of their handbags full of used hankys and other useless rubbish. They then proceed to pay in small change.

Women that wear bug eye sunglasses - they make you look like a complete twat.

The tills in lidl and aldi. Why did they build seven or eight when they only ever have one or two open?

Golf and people who play it.

Garzard

People who lick their finger before turning a page.

dellas1979

People who chew gum with their mouth open. chicchichchic. grrrrrrrrr.

People who drink out of water bottles with the sucky thing at the top (as opposed to a normal bottle of water you just screw the top off). Boi jaysys, what an obnoxious sound. I used to sit beside a girl in the office (lovely lady), but she'd do this, at least 6 times a minute. Had to tell her. STOP.

Dostoevsky

People who, when on the toilet, don't move their backside forward a couple of cm so that they aim for the water in the toilet, not the edge. This way they wouldn't have to go to all the effort of lifting the toilet brush to clean up after themselves, something which they don't do anyway.

Basic respect and consideration for other users.

f---ers who pull out in front of you at the last minute then cruise up the road....like why the **** were you in such a rush to pull out if you were just going to drive at 10mph up the shagging road

Chewing gum on the god damn footpath! :mad:

Just stepped off the bus there and landed my shoe on a lump of melted chewing gum. Damn stuff is impossible to get off!

People who, when on the toilet do aim for the water, only to have the gargantuan bomb theyve dropped not only sound like a ships launch, heard even outside the bloody bathroom, but also completely vacate the bowl of its water, covering the bombers arse, seat, lid and even some walls. They then use all the tissue, just to clean an arse , big enough to qualify for the property tax.

On a somewhat related note - far from trivial actually when I'm being gassed by my own son with the two of us holed up in what must be an airtight tent...

Why the FCUK do people think beans are a good idea on camping trips. Every five minutes he's letting rip, I've half a mind just to sleep outside altogether!

Reminds me of this scene from Blazing Saddles -

ITS, not really trivial ,women who are pregnant ,who drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes.
at This point we have all the research,
this is very bad for children and can have long term side effects.
Also people who smoke in rooms where there,s young children.
AT least try and smoke near an open window if possible.

some of the panelists on midday.grrr theythink they are the only ones to ever had kids/gone hungry so their kids could eat

Dostoevsky

I did my annual clothes shopping today. I was looking for very light clothing. I was looking at t-shirts. I went to about seven stores. Why, why, why is it impossible to get a plain t-shirt, a t-shirt without the logo of some corporation on it?

For all the choice we supposedly have in this super-consumerist society, there are loads of areas where you don't actually have a choice between products.

Even in Dunnes/Penneys/Heatons/Tesco and the like?

Whats the 'PP'?

Rasheed

People who are 'experts' on everything. And patronising to boot. There was one at a party the other night that had my head melted. And I could hear him no matter where I went.

'What are you drinking that piss for? I only drink Galway Hooker, best beer you can buy.'

'You payed what for that car? They saw you coming, that's €1,500 too much.'

'You baled that hay today? Big mistake there mate, it needed another two days.' This lad isn't a farmer either, the nearest he's gotten to hay is feeding his guinea pig.

There were just three snippets of wisdom from the tosser.

And even if you catch them out, they still manage to bullsh1t their way out of it because God forbid they'd admit they're wrong.
