Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

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.

Agree a billion times over. I find the word "amazing" has become almost redundant such is it's overuse. Every youtube video of a kid or a stereotypically unattractive person singing on a tv talent show is titled as "amazing" when in reality it's much the same as every other one. If they were truly amazing they wouldn't have to resort to entering a tv show to get spotted. And I have also seen it used whenever BOD those a rudimentary tackle or pass in a rugby game these days.

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:

This gets up my left nostril as well. "Foodie" indeed. Shove your turnip head back into your trough of baked-beans-and-chips and let the adults enjoy our meal. I'll give you a slap of a rolled-up menu afterwards, if you're lucky!

I understand that there is someone who is a "foodie". As in, someone with a particular interest in the culinary arts, chef or not. If a gun was put to my head I would call myself a "foodie". But what irks me is the word itself and when people go on about how they are "foodies"

Remember this one episode of Come Dine With Me where this gombeen was going on about how he was a foodie yet he didnt know what a fig was and had never eaten a prawn in his life! Get ta fúck

Women blaming certain behaviours on a man having a small penis.

Oh he bought a brand new car? Must have a small penis.

He cut in front of you in the shop? Must have a small penis.
Other women seem to think its the funniest thing they've ever heard!
Imagine a man saying 'she bought a new car?, must have small tits'

Only realised how much it annoys me!

My friend always reminds me of the time she was moaning about being single, and I said 'but you have such a great personailty'

I didn't mean it as an insult, she's just so funny and one of those people that can brighten any room! She couldn't stop laughing I felt terrible, she's stunning anyway!

That was my point. I haven't tried all the foods in the world but I'd have some knowledge and an interest, I like reading recipes and I'd try nearly anything unless I feel queezy just looking at it but you wouldn't hear me saying foodie unless my life was depending on it. It's bad enough that some of my friends use it. I can't really beat the sh1t out of them with a menu, they are my friends...:pac:

Britain's Got Talent and The X Factor have this annoying habit of editing footage so it looks like something it's not.

Example: On BGT, there'll be a girl on stage saying "Hello".
If she'd odd looking or 90 or wearing little or nothing, the camera will pan to the four judges who'll have blank expressions.
The audience will be silent and after about a minute of the judges exchanging glances, they'll say "Hi who are you?"

In reality, those pauses and silence didn't happen-they just edited it to make it look that way.
It's hard to explain..just watch it on Saturday and see the editing going on, I can't believe I must be the only one who notices it.

I also hate how the audience give certain people a standing ovation when in reality,they'd NEVER buy that persons' CD or go see them in concert; they're just looking at everyone else and saying "If I stand up I'll look cool."

I also hate the average floppy haired teenagers warbling playing guitars, they sound the same as everyone else.

That violinist the other night, Lettice..she was good but the audience's reaction was a bit OTT.

Paintballing, they should just call it "pain". I'm still not right a day later, stiff and sore as hell, and as for that pack of **** that kept ignoring the "not in the face" rule, I hope they're even more sore! :mad:

I hate the way the shows are basically totally dumbed down to appeal to the masses - ever see the faux surprise on the judge's faces when something "surprising" happens?? Ridiculous. How anyone falls for that stupid claptrap baffles me.

The 'maybe it's just me' people...I used to work with someone who used that phrase constantly, to try and prove how superior she (thought she) was to the rest of us.
Can't think of any really good examples, which is annoying me .
I remember being in a course with her once, and we all got take away coffees in the coffee shop nearby. 'I thought the place was very untidy, but maybe that's just me'.
It wasn't...

Oh I thought of another annoyance 'I'm a bit of a Monica'...( Friends character, who was obsessive about cleaning etc).

And finally, I dislike when people describe themselves as 'a bit OCD'. I think that is like someone describing themselves as being 'a bit pregnant' when they are clearly not.

Oh yes, had an ex-colleague who used to say that. 'Don't take this the wrong way'..then he would proceed to cut the ground from under someone. But it was all okay because he said that, or so he thought.

Paintballing is great craic, you just have to up your game a bit when dealing with over-competitive arseholes. Me and my mates all have Airsoft M-4 carbines with selective fire, and we have two guys on the machine-gun - an Airsoft M-60, to keep their heads down!

I was in the audience for a recording of the X-Factor in Dublin the year Niall Horan auditioned. What actually happens in real life is very different to what makes it to TV. We were told at the beginning not to make any noise when someone is talking to the judges. Depending on how the producers want to portray a contestant, they edit in the audience's reaction afterwards.

Niall Boylan is on Classic Hits 4fm way too much. Sometimes I enjoy his show but twice a day, five days a week is over kill. He'll become the new Joe Duffy.

Paintball to the back of the head has quite a way of motivating a person, especially when the little prick also ignores the 30ft safe distance rule!

One thing I will say though, great fun, great for team building, all that sort of craic!

Your name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And you will have your vengeance, in this life or the next.

I had a woman hit me with her handbag on the bus this morning. It was her ingenius way of asking me to move over. The smug bitch failed to notice Dublin Bus' version of Niagra Falls that was currently watering the space next to me. Needless to say I didn't move, and after explaining the world of Dublin Bus to her, she shuffled off in a huff.

Paintballing is what you make it. If you get around to the shooting range, try a .22LR rifle and 12-bore shotgun as well. In fact, do them first, to get you used to the noise and sensation before taking the recoil of the revolver on your wrists.

It really annoys me when I'm watching television with someone who is criticising the programme, namely Mr Pumpkinseeds. I like that programme The Haunted Collector, now we both enjoy paranormal programmes but Mr P takes exception to this programme.

I'll be sitting there enjoying the programme and it gets to the bit where the guy asks if the client wants him to remove the object which may be causing the problem. It's at that point that Mr P becomes vocal on the subject, every single time. My mild mannered husband starts ranting 'thief, that guys a fcuking thief' Now admittedly the guy does take the stuff back to his private haunted musuem at his house, but like, whatever. I just like the programme. It's been cancelled now.
