They're usually the knobs who say things like "can I get" - HAVE, the word you are looking for is HAVE!

And people who become immobilised on moving stairs. The world wont fuuking implode if you move at the same time you know.... Lets all get there faster please.

i put a cheeky face-:P- like so at the end. the thread is called

"trivial things that annoy you"

its a thread about how small things in every day life annoy some of us, and not others. I wasn't looking for people to agree. There are small things that annoy you that wouldn't annoy me.

I wasn't fussing and fuming, it was just a thought in my head :rolleyes:

As for helping people with problems, with a smile, if you could see me 5days a week, thats what I specialise in, no matter how rude/stupid/ angry a person is.

Because I decided to post in a thread about a trivial thing that annoys me, it doesn't reflect on how I am as a person. Perhaps your personal attack on the type of person I am/ you think I am without knowing, is a reflection of you.

Everything in this thread should be taken with a pich of salt

Trivial thing to annoy me today

Young people who get on the bus for 2 stops or less. Old people, fair enough but young lads should just walk instead of slowing the bus down.

I don't mind people standing if they stay to one side...good of me, I know

. But why the heck do some people decide the best place for a family / friend reunion is right at the top or bottom of the stairs, just where people are either trying to step off or on.

Deal or No Deal - when they run over and kiss/hug the person that has just opened their box.

And Thank you Mr Banker - that's a very generous offer - you're very kind and it's life changing...thank you....wow that's so much money - you're too kind...but No Deal
JUST SAY NO DEAL AND GET ON WITH IT YOU GREEDY FECKER

Man I hate that show - My Grandad loves it though so I am forced to watch it when I'm with him :mad:

Or the way, when you're late, there's always just one fuucker getting on or off at each stop. Why cant they all get off at one stop, or even every third? (that's me being reasonable, God help us).

Oh GOD i can't stand The Voice of Ireland! I'm forced into watching it with my nan when i call over on Sundays but all it does is highlight to me how cheap RTE is, these poor fools on it who are never going to get anything from it except maybe a stint in the xmas panto at The Gaiety if they're lucky! The standard is shocking but that's not even the worst part of the show! Cringe tv at its very best!

Afraid I have to answer as I worked in the environmental field for over 40 years. The felling of trees or cutting of hedges on residential property does not require a felling licence nor is it illegal at this time of year. It is important that this is accurately conveyed before people take incorrect action.

Done.

When someone is behind me in the line up and I notice they only have one item as opposed to my millions of items, I always let them go ahead of me. It's the right thing to do.

Me too. Annoys me when I have say a trolley full of stuff, and I'm second in line, and the person in front also has a trolley full of stuff. So I let someone with one item go ahead of me....and then the person in front doesnt do the same!

I've never had that happen yet but if it ever does happen, I'll be sure to open my mouth and say something.

Well, as long as the person ahead of me isn't in the midst of running their stuff through and the cashier is scanning it in.

Its weird, I'd be annoyed if the person in front didnt make the same offer, and if I was the person in front I would offer but the strange thing is...if I was the person in front and someone behind told me to let them through...I think I'd be trivially annoyed! lol

You don't need to be told. There *are* ways to ask in the nicest possible way.

Why did she have to pay?? That's very strange. Almost never happens in supermarkets.

Same when people get on a bus, even if you are not a regular commuter, you must know hard currency of some kind will be demanded...

I know I've said this before (which may trivially annoy others

), but why do some people have no sense of personal space! I was in a post office queue today, and the guy standing behind me was so close, I was practically carrying him on my back. Every time I inched forward, he was on my heels. I moved slightly sometimes just to test him, and he still managed to be just as close. Aaargh!

There's also the ones who've been at the bus stop waiting with you for 15 minutes (because the time is wrong on the board).

So, we're all waiting, and foot tapping, and eye rolling, and LO! Like a great yellow and blue giant of wonderment, it appears. Inching its way along Nassau Street. One by one, we get on the bus. Some have the card, some have the Leap card, some have the bus pass. Others, like me, are dumbfúcks who've typically forgotten their card, so have to pay with money. Clink, clink, clink... into the little coin slot the money goes and the passenger moves on. Then, the dumbest dumbfúck of all will be in front of me. It's their turn to pay and suddenly, they start hunting for their purse, or digging their way through every pocket of the forty fúcking coats they've chosen to wear that day.

Tell me, good sir, why did it only dawn on you now to get your money ready? That's jolly unsporting of you.*

*These may not have been the actual words that I used in my head. I can't repeat the actual words as I appalled myself at just how many swears I could think of. I was still going by the time we reached Donnybrook but ran out of steam by the time we reached RTÉ. Then I spotted the Fair City set and it triggered another torrent. I may have a bit of a problem.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 22-04-2014 5:51pm

I can't abide when someone insists on spouting something as true or a as fact when they have been told quite rightly that it is incorrect. I saw it in my work for years. One guy in particular would come up with a suggestion and on being told what was wrong with it or why it could not be done he'd accept it. Until the next session when he'd suggest the same wrong action yet again.
Perhaps it's my own failing in that I can't sit by when something is being espoused that is blatantly wrong. I always feel I have to correct it. Opinions are one thing but facts are another. It has gotten me in trouble on boards a few times as I just can't let factual inaccuracies go uncorrected. I know I'm as much to blame for being so fussy but oh I hate people bandying about incorrect information - especially if it misleads people who are genuinely looking for advice or an answer.

People who give grief to everyone and suddenly become overly defensive when someone give them grief back.

When your smoking a rollie and you go to remove it with your fingers but they slide off and the rollie stays in yer mouth simultaneously burning the ****ing fingers off ya.

Annoying individuals who are really predictable in everything they do and say.

People who state the obvious and you can see the sense of enlightment glisten over their face despite breaking new ground solely in the obvious department.

Usage of the words:Actually,Literally,Pretentious,Overrated and Like. These terms have been overused to death so shut the **** up saying them.

The fact that swearing is censored here.****,****,**** and no doubt ************.

Phrases like ''24/7'' and ''Touch base'' Truly cring-worthy.

People from D4 with the fake american accent,stupid wig-like hair,sense of entitlement and that say things like 'Roish' and call everything nearby with a tracksuit a 'Scombaig'.You could throw a pair of tracksuit bottoms on a dog and they'd call it a scombaig.

People who call tracksuit bottoms trackies.
Materialism and Hedonism.

Myself for being annoyed at practically everything.Room is here for about a billion more things but that can wait.

Bang fuucking clatter bang, flush, creak, stomp, door open, door closed, bye, byeeeeeeeeeee love yoooooooooooooooooou.....fuuck off. I'm too annoyed at being woken to go back to sleep straight away, so instead I eat a Cream Egg and lie there, fuming. Eventually, sleep will come 4 minutes before the fuucking alarm!

Foodie.
I absolutely loathe the word. I like to enjoy the simple pleasures of life, food being one of them. Sometimes it's just a "fuel" to get me going but most of the time it is something I really enjoy. I like cooking and baking and eating, I like to try different things, it doesn't make me (or you) special so you can shove your 'foodie' up where the sun doesn't shine you twat :mad:
