Isn't he doing all that to get in to America or something? or is it Europe told him his c.s was stopping him from gettin in?
or did I make that up?

Oh well....that's Limerick Citaay.

That's probably me in front of you...

The amount of dog ****e though really IS ridiculous, and worse when it's smeared all over the damn pavement! It's not just unsightly, it's a slipping hazard :mad:

Anyone notice Daft Dave sounds a lot like No Nonsense Insurance deranged voiceover guy?

I would genuinely stab Harvey Norman in the throat if I ever encountered him.

Haha. I got a photo taken with him last year. He thought it was because he was famous, but it was really cos he's a tool and I was taking the piss out of both his hair and his mint green double breasted 1985 suit jacket :pac:

Crumbs in the butter, and big gouges carved into it by people with not enough patience to scrape daintily from the top, and people wiping their butter knife on the side of the butter dish, leaving butter contaminated with whatever was also on the knife all around the edge of the dish.

Butter abuse, it's unforgivable.:(

Scraping daintily from the top drives me bonkers! Thinly slicing the butter from the side of the block, cop on people! :cool:

Butter abuse, it's unforgivable indeed.

Lying on the internet. Why would people do that? Ok, fair enough if you don't want to reveal personal info but why tell porkies?

Just in general. I understand criminals lying to get info or bank details etc but just curious why some people lie in general on discussion sites like this. Because they can?

Yes and no. A mate called me that many years ago when I had long hair and wore purple flares. It kind of stuck in my mind.

Because in reality every single one of us is a boring, middle aged (in mind, if not in body), untravelled, poorly educated, broke and lonesome person with no money, no love and less to live for. But to the very depths of hell if we wont pour everything into pretending otherwise!!!! Eh..... right?

Liars hate liars. Have you ever been in a social situation that included two liars? And they both vie for attention? The frisson in the air as one competes against the other? Often interjecting that they hate liars. Occasionally very interesting but often rigidly boring.
And, after repeating the lie a few times, they, themselves, then believe it and would pass a polygraph.

OldNotWIse

People who confuse reality with tv. We've all heard stories of actors being attacked in the street, usually by silly women, for cheating on spouses etc in their storyline! Well reading through the comments on Sky News under their story on the poor little lad missing in Edinburgh and some bint actually wrote, "where's Sherlock when you need him?" - the fuuck??

When you've had a big argument with your other half and he/she is more than willing to make up and forget about it but your mood doesn't change that quickly and so you simmer all day.
I'm so guilty of this.

Had a major argument with other half this morning. He stormed off, but came back and apologised and said "Let's forget it" and even though I wanted to, I really did, I just couldn't switch my mood like that.

It's so irritating!

People who say "Oh hi" when you answer the phone to them. Why? Are they surprised that you answered? "Oh..hiiiii-iiiiiiy". Usually in a fake, drawn out D4 accent too. Feck off would ye.

eisenberg1

Z list celebs, on some second rate ****ty chat show, with their "I must tell you this amusing story" which is usually along the lines of their character in the crappy soap, has either beaten someone up, had an affair or burnt the pub down etc, and then the actor is out for a walk, minding his own business and gets accosted by some idiot who cannot tell the difference between real life and Coronation Street .....Oh the woman was so irate because she thought I was really having an affair behind Sally's back".......yeah right.

I hate when I swallow my pride and apologise for being a bitch even when it may not actually be my fault and then he keeps being off with me, despite saying he's fine. I know its difficult to be all sweetness and light when there's still a bit of tension there but the passive aggressive "no I'm fine" and one word answers drives me insane! Either get over it or have it out properly with a discussion/ fight and clear the air! But now I feel bad for getting annoyed at him for it since you say you can't help it

Bad drivers. I was on the bus the other day and this girl was talking about penalty points on her licence. Said she got penalty points for speeding and the reason she didn't see the speed trap van was that she was too busy talking on her phone!

This kind of half annoys me/half cracks me up. When someone comes on Boards and posts a fairly serious problem they're having, eg 'I'm in debt up to my eyeballs, the bank are threatening to repossess the house and I only have €20 to last me for the next two weeks.'

In between all the well thought-out advice, there's usually at least one person who comes along and says something like 'god OP, thanks for giving me some perspective. I've been complaining because we've had to start buying own brand products' and then goes merrily on their way.

I'm sure it's well-meant and I'm probably guilty of it myself at times, but the sheer insensitivity of it is sometimes unintentionally hilarious.

People who look at your name tag and then say "Ann, IS IT?" Eh, yeah, it says so right there!!!

Customers who enjoy telling you that they are paying for your wages. Just fcuk off.

When you tune in a radio station but it goes fuzzy when you walk away from it. Bah!

My friend, for as long as I've known her, was called, lets say Mary. Now all of a sudden it has turned to a double barrel name! When booking anything its Mary-Louise! I think she thinks it makes her more sophisticated. Annoys me so much especially when I get through to her voice mail. 'hi, you're through to Mary- Louise...'
names have been changed to protect identity

Actually, yeah! What causes that!?

People who aren't American saying "-een" instead of "-ing" or "-in' ".

People who rather than tell you "I'm not doing great today actually", decide to say "I'm okay...", and if you don't realise that that means "Pander after me to find out what's wrong", they get angry at you. WTF you said you were okay, I'm not a mind reader.

News reports that mention when a person was 'fatally injured'.
It seems like an easier way to say killed / died, it lessons the impact.
Seems to be used a lot in stats / reports also.
