We used to do this all the tiime where i worked,you wold swop name tags.Or sometimes if you forgot yours they gave you a completely random name tag.Used to be funny.

Please tell me you adopted different personalities depending on the name tag. If you got Greta you were the ditzy, airhead who loved 1970's boybands. If you got Nicole you were the rock climbing adrenaline joking who power walked around the shop, to the max!

When my husband phones me from the supermarket to ask me what brand of something on the shopping list, we buy, especially if it's something we've bought every week for years. This is what happens when you are the person who does most of the grocery shopping.

I think I've seen your husband a few times. Is he the bald fella who keeps hitting his head off the glass in the frozen food section while talking on the phone?

I can't change the music on my touchscreen when wearing gloves but put the ipod into my pocket and it becomes super sensitive. It's like I have a little leprechaun living in it randomly changing the music.

Nope, he still has a full head of hair, despite the stress of living with me:D

And there I was in Easons the other day looking at a pair of touchscreen gloves for €7 and thinking "Who the fcuk is going to buy those?"...

You'd think they'd have more pressing issues to get to the core of.

Google using YouTube to push Google+

It's like trying to make Fetch happen. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN so let it go. Facebook have that market sown up.

Also:

Stop asking me for my phone number under the guise of security. I was able to remember my password before you brought this helpful extra into fruition and I'll be able to remember it no matter how many times you prompt me for my number.

I do not want to use my real name on YouTube so stop asking me. No matter how many times I log in, I will not accidently click on the link you want. I keep my personal and professional life separate. YouTube is for fun, Gmail is for work.

You may think I am being paranoid and argue that you want to cut down on cyber bullying and if I don't post anything bad on YouTube then I have nothing to hide, but I don't trust you Google. You fooled me in the past with your innocuous request that I change from using a hotmail login email to a gmail one. You then went on to try and push Google+ on me. We both know you are doing this to solely increase advertising revenue and not out of some altruistic desire to make the internet easier to use by having one account for everything.

How long will it be before you try to take over from LinkedIn? The cynic in me sees a future where you will insist that it is in my best interest if I have all my work history in one easy place and it will increase my job prospects.

I don't know how the CEO's of Google work but here in the real world, people are not caricatures that can be boxed into a one for all black and white personality type that is true for all situations. Who I am at work is not always the same as I am outside work. I put up with a lot of crap from people on a day to day basis because I am paid to do it but if they treated me that way in an equal social standing, I would not tolerate it.

To try and have one account that represents a person is insane. I can see Google pushing too far and alienating their core users who turn to something a little less controlling. I remember when everyone had a Nokia phone but nowadays Nokia are legends.

TL:DR I went on a bit of a rant about how unfair it is for Google to use YouTube to push Google+ and got a bit side tracked!

Well Paddy if the social networking side of things doesn't work out for them (as many of their pet projects don't, but what's more important is what they learn from the experiment), they might not need you to sign in anywhere, you can just sign in by looking at the screen -

They say the contact lens are designed to detect diabetes (nothing like feeding into growing fears about obesity to market a product when you want to overcome growing fears about privacy!), but they'll probably have the helpful facility built in to send data about everything you view, back to Google servers!


Just remember to take them out before you view your bank account online!

Those ads on the TV for "Elite Singles". They're clearly aimed at those who have delusions of being "elite", beyond that I'm struggling to imagine who would sign up for such a service. I believe it's actually a German company.

The phrase 'ah the poor ....'
my mother and sister are terrible for it. You'd be driving along and next thing, 'ah the poor girl on the bike'
'ah the poor dog'
'ah the poor little fella'
There's nothing poor about them.

The worst is people who go "Hello, Hi" when you answer the phone:mad:

Electrical gadgets that use 3 batteries (AA/AAA) I have a couple of these. Batteries are usually sold in 4's. By the time I need them again the spare one is probably lost/misplaced

Breaking a 50 euro note. Once you've done it the money seems to vanish at a rate of knots. I hate January, roll on February:(

When people are having an argument and they try to drag me into it- "you always do this, ask Tasden, she'll tell you how annoying it is", eh nope I'm not getting into this argument its between you two. If I had an issue with something I'd bring it up myself, not when railroaded into it by someone during a heated argument and ganging up on the person.

RedFormanFITA

White line, gap, white line, gap, white line,gap. That annoys me when I am on the road and the white is only painted on for a short distance, then there's none, then there's another bit.

People who post obvious answers to my trivial annoyances.

People who like their steak anything more than medium rare..they just annoy me so much. Why would you RUIN a good steak like that? and then they go ahead and buy a fillet steak and ask for it to be well done..WELL DONE, A FILLET STEAK?!
honestly, you people....disgusting.

When you can hear the song in your head, but you can't think of the lyrics, the artist or the name of the song.

Irish Steve

People that get almost to the end of passing their items through the checkout, and feck off out of the line to get something "they forgot". Then, when they do eventually get back to the cashier, we have to start the whole nonsense of packing it, finding the means to pay in the handbag, and eventually paying. All of course interspersed with a long and detailed chat about Aunty Mary's piles, or something equally nauseating. Then there's the problem of clearing the packing area so that the cashier can start processing the next customer. Arrgghhhhh

SV

^ on that note, people who get their change and stand at the counter for an other 2 or 3 minutes putting their money into all the right compartments.

Novel concept, move the fúck out of the way and do it when you're not in everyone elses way you self entitled cúnts.

Worse is when someone you've known for years, or even all your life gets a new girlfriend who insists on calling them by their first name and gives you filthies when you use the nickname you've always called them. Sorry love, you can call him whatever you want and I'll do the same...m'kay?

People who judge you based on how you want your food cooked. I had a friend who always liked her steak well done and then a mutual friend who eats his practically just with the horns cut off and the ars* wiped "converted" her, as if eating pink steak is some kind of sacred religion. Now whenever we are out there's an entire production about how she didnt know how to eat steak before and now that she has been shown the way she'd never go back. The fuuck? Is it some kind of cult? Do they have a support group?

Sometimes I just can't thank a post enough!

Honestly, the amount of people who think there's something great about eating raw meat, civilisation has moved on just a small bit since we were cavemen, we can cook stuff now. If I want to eat raw meat, I'll order a steak tartare.

Otherwise - Piss off you Marco Pierre White wannabe! :pac:

Which brings me to another point, I hate (or, in keeping with the spirit of the thread) am trivially annoyed by, the Marks & Spencer ads for food that show big turds of meat that are practically still alive in the middle. When did this become popular?? Makes me get sick in my mouth

I think the concept of taste is an entirely subjective one, and indeed the cremation of another's steak hardly impacts on the taste of one's own. What does leave a bad taste in one's mouth is having to listen to a self-righteous wannabe cool culinary customer banging on about how "wrong" you are to want your food cooked :pac::pac:

When you go to bed in good time, then can't get to sleep as your mind is racing. Eventually fall asleep about 3am then have to get up after about 3-4 hours sleep exhausted and go to work.

And checking the clock and calculating- if I fall asleep in ten minutes I'll get five hours sleep, then recalculating every hour or so after that til eventually you say **** it its not worth going asleep at all at this stage.

All the pervo celebrities out there, Jimmy Saville, Dave Lee Travis, Bill Roche etc,

Latest news is Mick Hucknall was caught in Petmania molesting a rabbit!!

When taken to task by staff, he said he was just "Holding back the ears", they asked Why?

He replied, because "The Bunny was too tight to mention"

Too early on a Monday?

Especially considering nobody in their right mind would eat under cooked chicken. Why then is it ok to not cook beef?
