Housemate leaves fan heater on at max for most of night very loud irritating noise. Can't stand it feel like tripping the switches sometimes.

Practising makeup when I'm bored; it looks perfect.

Heading out; messy. It doesn't matter how much time I had to do it, it's never as good.

:mad: :pac:

Constant tuk tuk badgering in cities in Asia when walking down the street or especially after just jumping out of one.

"You want tuk tuk sir" / "tuk tuk" / "hey, where you from my friend" / "tuk tuk here sir" / "you want to see x temple, just 2 dollars"

Argh!

Comedians who do tv ads.

Somehow managing to overlook the 24 hour clock on our timer for the central heating and setting it for 4am instead of 4pm, then sweltering in bed as too lazy to get up and switch it off, even though I was too warm to get back to sleep. Bloody 24 hour clock:mad:

People who beep their horn or wave to you and you wave back.Then you realise it wasnt meant for you.

When driving and doing nothing wrong, someone beeps you, you give them the finger, and then look and see your cousin waving at you.......

The use of the word "Rock" as an everyday verb. Seems to be getting more common these days.

"I'm rocking up to Tesco for a litre of milk". It gives me visions of people wandering around doing air guitar.

Rocking up to Tesco, for milk of all things:D

When someone calls in a favour and you have no plausible excuse to get out of it, so you have to do it. Bang goes my Friday:(, ah well at least it's for a good cause.

When the girl you have been seeing wants to have a chat "about us" which means you are about to get dumped. Pretty sure i will be on the receiving end of that chat this evening!

People who are late but live 5 minutes from the place of meeting. Can I trouble you to be on time? Ffs

Sometimes that's a chat about making things more serious or at least discussing where its heading. Don't know which you'd prefer, good luck though! :pac:

Could be about "the three of us"

(by which I mean PREGNANT, not threesome)

How people use the dyson hand driers. The instructions are on them. Put your and in and slowly bring them out yet people insist on plunging their hands in and out at super speed thinking that it speeds up the process.

My last bf wanted to have that chat. It was like a job interview!

Its definitely not about pregnancy so its something like where is this going/we should end it I reckon.

Yep, that really bugs the crap out of me. My husband loves real ales, so whenever I see some new ones in Dunnes I'll get him some. I have to try to avoid the checkout woman who always, always asks me if they're nice. I don't know, I don't drink them, every time you ask me that question I give you the same answer 'I don't know, I don't drink beer, my husband likes them'

People, mainly in my office, still bathering on about Christmas.

People, mainly in my office, buying things in the sales to be used as gifts for next Christmas.

Get over it people!

When people say they love their job. I always think they are either lying or they make me envious as I don't love mine. I just tolerate it in order to pay the bills and /or until I figure out what I really want to do. But i don't know what that is yet!

Young girls dressed as mini versions of their mothers - fur gilets, leather boots, that kind of get up.

Young girls whose parents constantly dress them in pink. I've yet to meet anyone, be they ,an, woman, child or beast who really suits pink!

Same here, I feel like a drone in sector 7G, it could be worse but could be better. My OH makes me wanna puke, fuucken loves her job, jumps out bed every morning looking forward to work!! She would do it for free.

People wishing you 'happy new year ' still , look, go away its the middle if January , all my 'season of good will ' good Cheer is long gone and right now I feel like having a castle knock chess game with you !

"You look exactly like [your sibling's name]!".

Really? I look exactly like the person I am closely genetically linked too. Amazing.

Pumpkinseeds

Oh, you don't look like either of your parents. WTF do you say to that? It's always tempting to answer with 'are you calling my mother a whore? What a stupid and utterly pointless thing to say to someone. It's usually some friend of my parents who makes that kind of remark too.

Reminded me of something I posted in the previous "Trivial things..." thread -

This reminds me of something my mother said last night at a family barbecue-

"You were the only one in the family with that olive skin that tans like that", I took a look round at my ferociously freckled, ginger haired brothers that looked like a pack of topless lobsters and had a bit of a "WTF? She's right!" moment, then just thought to myself...

"What are you trying to say mam?" :pac:

Being unable to quote directly from a locked thread, that's annoying!

People who keep nitpicking.

People who dismiss others as loonies and crusties because they are opposed to war.

Because that's not designed to get a prickly reaction at all at all...

People that say hello to you one day and ignore the rest of the time.I dont care im not gonna bother anymore saying hello on the off chance you say it back.
