IV infusions. I spent 2 hours on an IV today reading crap celebrity magazines. Infusion days are tedious and it's the only time I read celebrity gossip magazines. It's that or watch the drips falling.

This is how superheroes are created :cool:

At the moment my super power is eating American hardgum sweets to console myself at all the bruises on my arms that make me look like I'm a battered wife. I think I've got the worlds worst veins, so it takes lots of attempts to get the blood. Moan moan moan, poor me:rolleyes::D

Dial Hard

People in the supermarket who don't move up the conveyor-belt as their shopping does. This irks me beyond all reason.

Double post.

People who cycle wearing flip-flops. I don't even know why it bothers me, but it really does.

People who drive straight through a pedestrian crossing when you're only half way across.

I hate drivers that indicate too early
I hate 'Thanks' button whores
I hate inappropriate use of emoticons...:eek::cool:

People who take the liberty to milk my coffee . They always, always overload it with milk.
I take a pipette drop of milk. I like my coffee like my men, very dark, and very strong.
Leave my coffee alone

Is it a skinny white guy that's loading it with milk? He might be trying to change your taste to get you to notice him a bit more! :pac:

I got a huge craving for Ben & Jerrys tonight. Knowing it's normally around about €5.50/€6.00, I wasn't going to spend that on it so I checked out Supervalu and Tesco's websites to see if it was on special offer at the moment, before walking to the shop for it. It turns out it is, in Tesco for €4.00.

So I walked to my local tesco express, to find no special offer, it's currently at the brain-freezing price of €6.79!!

I didn't buy it.

Disappointed though.

But what the **** is up with the price of B&J??

I ate an entire tub of Ben and Jerry's strawberry shortcake frozen yoghurt on Saturday night, tastes exactly like ice cream. I've ordered a tub of the peanut butter cup 1 for my husband, he loves peanut butter and icecream. The lidl version of Ben and Jerrys is very good too, apparently. Mr P has gotten addicted to their banana, chocolate and walnut 1, I think it's just under 3 euro for the same size tub as B & J.

I'm the opposite. I love loads of milk in my tea/coffee and whenever anyone else makes it, they never put in enough. Whenever I'm making it for someone else, I always leave milk beside them so they can add their own amount.

Worse than not having enough milk (in fairness, you can just add more) is people who put the milk in before the hot water. It tastes completely different and I don't like it.

I like putting my milk in afterwards too.

Oops69

The met eireann weather forecast changing completely over the course of one day , and they never apologise for getting it wrong , happens all the time , it's trivially annoying because I don't rely on it and I'll check the BBC for a more reliable service , .....also that Cavan guy who does the forecast , has he ever done one that doesn't mention " But there is a possibility of scattered showers in the west " .... doom merchant .

Use your phone

OldNotWIse

Conversations that always go the same way, usually in small talk situations.

"So have you any holidays planned?"

"No, I used them all up for exams"

"Oh right, what are you studying?"

(insert course name)

"Oh wow that must be really hard/what got you into that" blah blah

- zzzzzzzzzzz

Now I just say "ah I've a week off in September" and leave it at that

Uggghhh! People who drive through amber (probably red if we're honest) lights in heavy traffic when there's no room for them on the other side of the intersection, so they arrive on the pedestrian crossing after the pedestrian lights have already gone green nearly running people over and then park there, blocking everyone's path!

This happens with alarming regularity and it takes all of my willpower not to kick their window in. The height of ignorance.

Try clearing your cache.

All the West Coast Cooler ads with their silly numpty gals and their stupid dancing and pretending to have a good time. "Were not in Kansas now!" - wtf?? Go fúck yourselves and have a proper drink. You might loosen up a bit and actually be able to act.

LynnGrace

Ad on at the moment about events coming up, some at the Gaya-dee The-ayder, whatever that is. Grouch, moan, I hate put-on accents.

Some singer whom I'm never heard of has opened up about his sexuality.
Fcuk off! No-one cares. Just get on with it.

I'm waiting for the day that a straight famous person does an exclusive interview or calls a press conference to declare their sexulaity to the world. 'look at me, I'm straight...who would have thought it!' Maybe then there'll be no more coming out and public declarations of homosexuality. It's your business. Not mine sunshine.

Annoying human: "So are you seeing anybody? Are you?? If you are it's time for the FB relationship status change!!"
czechlin: *facepalm*

(I don't even have the relationship status option visible, I couldn't give a toss.)

When you buy a bag of nuts / cereal / biscuits whatever and the plastic tupperware box you have assigned for it doesnt quite hold all it's contents.... and you only find out as it nearly overflows.


Bah!!

People who insist on opening the windows in an air-conditioned office. I don't think you're really getting how that works, dudes...

The majority of the time is because the lousy air con is useless!
You either melt or freezer in our place.

It happened only twice and in both cases we had a stash of paper tissues but the cold sweats...

When you run out of bog roll!!

When you get to the reduced section of the supermarket, it's packed with treasures but nothing has been priced yet. Quit teasing me, Tesco.

Recently: MMA hipsters giving out about their sport gaining more fans.

I was just thinking we owe the thread to sdrawkcab and her workmates who annoy her.

Dramatik

People putting plates in the section for bowls in the dishwasher. Every time I go to put a bowl in the dishwasher the only section big enough for it to fit is full with side plates so I have to remove a plate and move it to the appropriate section so I can then fit my bowl in. Wide section = bowls, thin section = plates. Every day...Every ****ing day!

Worse are the gimbals who explain to you that air-conditioning is useless-in-principle, given that it's only moving the same air around the place. No, no, not quite. A proper HVAC is an expensive, clever bit of kit that cleans, disinfects and chills the air to order, as opposed to a fukkan fan your boss tells you slack-jawed yokels is the "Air Conditioning!" when it is in fact just moving a hunk of fetid oxygen-depleted air replete with your hideous diseases and muesli-fart-vapour from one end of the room to the other.

The people who find it that little bit easier to come out themselves do care.

Unfortunately office air-con tends to be set to the temperature that accommodates those who complain the most i.e. the people who are always too cold.

Always, and I mean ALWAYS keep a toilet roll in the freezer. If you use it, replace immediately as once you start using it, it must be used as the soggy factor creeps in.


My annoyance for today is cyclists going through red lights. I was crossing the street with my kids at the green man, and this gobsh*te on a city bike nearly nailed us as we reached the far side of the road. I made a remark about a red light quite audibly so everyone in the vicinity knew he was an assh*le.
If I didn't have the kids, I probably would have been walking faster and he would have hit me.
